  • Patent number: 5096652
    Abstract: A multilayered molding is disclosed, which has a base molding outer layer mainly composed of a partial crosslinking type substance A obtained from polyolefin resin and ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer rubber or a mixture B of polyolefin resin and ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer rubber or both. The outermost layer is in direct contact with and forms a lamination with an inner intermediate layer or a base molding composed of a polyethylene resin, for instance, and is firmly bonded to the outermost layer. A method of manufacturing such multilayered molding is also disclosed, in which a composite sheet of the thermoplastic elastomer with or without the intermediate layer is preliminarily heated, followed by being suction held in close contact with a mold cavity inner surface, thus forming a surface layer. The mold is then clamped, and fluidized and plasticized polyolein resin is injected to produce the molding. The polyolefin resin may also be injected prior to the clamping.

  • Patent number: 5093001
    Abstract: A method for recovering crystals from a slurry by supplying the slurry to a rotary sucking filter while rotating a cylindrical filter medium thereof to effect a sequence of operations of sucking filtration, washing and further sucking filtration, which method comprises conducting a sucking filtration while pressurizing the slurry side so as to maintain such a temperature and pressure that the filtrate of the rotary sucking filter will not reach a condition of supersaturation, whereby stuffing of the filter medium due to deposition of crystals from the mother liquor with increase in the slurry viscosity is prevented and the recovery of the crystals are realized efficiently over a long period of time. This method is suitable for recovering crude and purified crystals of terephthalic acid and can be applied also for the recovery of general crystilline products, such as hydroquinone, resorcin and so on from slurries of them.
