  • HOT-MELT EXTRUDED COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING PLANT-DERIVED PHENOLIC MATERIALS AND PROCESSES FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF
    Publication number: 20120201865
    Abstract: A hot-melt extruded composition is disclosed that includes about 20-80% wt. of a plant-derived phenolic material; about 20-85% wt. of one or more edible or bioerodible excipients; about 0-40% wt. of a surface active material; about 0-40% wt. of an oral absorption enhancer; and about 0-10% wt. of one or more pharmaceutical or food grade additives. The composition has been hot-melt extruded at a temperature substantially below the melting point of the plant-derived phenolic material to produce a hot-melt extruded composition wherein substantial degradation of the plant-derived phenolic material has not occurred.

  • Melt-processable, crosslinkable coating compositions
    Patent number: 6287692
    Abstract: A crosslinked coating composition that demonstrates excellent resistance to fuel, flame and high temperature in addition to good mechanical properties including high flexibility, high elongation and tensile strength, abrasion and pinch resistance is provided. The composition is based on a blend of HDPE homopolymers and high-VA-content EVA copolymers and is useful as an insulating material for wires or cables used in automotive gas-tank passthrough applications.
