Abstract: Two plastics which were heretofore impossible to combine, can be combined with each other if the one to be added is converted to a porodin gel by heating the same at a temperature of at least 180.degree. C. with a substance that does not dissolve the polymer, and then cooling to below 120.degree.. The porodin gel can then be easily admixed with the other plastic material in an amount of 1 to 50% by weight, preferably 5 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the modified plastic material. Examples are the incorporation of polyethylene or polypropylene or polymethyl methacrylate in polyvinyl chloride, or the incorporation of polystyrene in polypropylene, or the incorporation of polymethyl methacrylate in polyethylene.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for dispensing material from a hand-held gun connected by a flexible conduit to a source of the material under pressure. The control of material flow is effected by a valve in series between the flexible conduit and the source of material, and hence remote from the gun, thereby to reduce the weight of the gun and to provide a gun that has no moving parts for controlling material flow. One or more orifices is provided in the handle of the gun for the continuous discharge of low pressure control air that actuates the valve or valves; and the selective opening or closing of the orifice or orifices by the hand or fingers of the operator, thus controls the valve or valves and hence the flow of material for materials to the gun.

Abstract: Apparatus for the continuous feeding of plural liquids in separate streams of adjustable quantity and ratio, comprises a drive unit that drives a main pump, and that also drives at least one secondary pump. The drive unit has an oscillating or reciprocating movement, and so the pumps are piston pumps or oscillating vane-type pumps. The stroke of the secondary pump or pumps may be selectively shortened without shortening that of the main pump, so as to predetermine the proportions of the liquids to each other. The system is particularly applicable for the feeding of separate streams of synthetic resins by the main pump, and the associated hardeners, catalysts, accelerators or other auxiliary liquids by the secondary pump or pumps.

Abstract: Copolymers having elastomeric properties are prepared by the polymerization of olefinic monomers with catalysts of modified Ziegler-Natta type, wherein a mixture of isobutylene and butadiene is used as olefinic monomer.The process renders possible the preparation of elastomeric copolymers from cheap raw materials, such as the C.sub.4 -fraction formed by the pyrolysis of gasoline.

Abstract: In a batcher plant at least one pair of reciprocable pressure cylinders are provided one of which as a first pressure cylinder is connected to a source of pressure medium while the other one as a further pressure cylinder is supplied with pressure medium in dependence on the number of strokes per minute of the first pressure cylinder. Both pressure cylinders drive delivery pumps. The total amount of delivered material is controlled by the speed and the number of cycles of the piston of the first pressure cylinder while the mutual proportions of delivered material are controlled by varying the length of stroke of the further pressure cylinder. Thus, on the one hand, mutual proportions of delivered substances can be finely adjusted within very wide limits and, on the other hand, the pressure cylinders of the various batcher units may be located in considerable distances from one another so that the plant is suitable to perform the most various functions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for the production of wound sandwich structures, wherein the inner shell, made of a galss-reinforced plastic, is prepared in a known way, then solid core elements are wound onto the inner shell, and finally an outer shell, made of a glass-reinforced plastic, is formed on the wound core. Thus rigid articles (e.g. containers), consisting of inner and outer shells of glass-reinforced plastic and a core of wound core elements, are obtained. The core elements are wound up by forwarding the individual elements directly one after another onto a thread which carries the core elements, presses them onto the rotating mandrel, and is also wound up, or by forming a flexible band by adhesion, from the core elements and the carrier thread or band, and this flexible band is wound up. The inner and outer shells, and the surface of the core material are prepared preferably on a conventional winding machine, provided with auxiliary equipments according to the invention.
