Atsushi Kawakatsu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 4918118
    Abstract: A process for improving properties of a synthetic resin powder by subjecting a latex of a graft-copolymer whose back bone is a rubber to coagulation, and adding a lubricant to the graft-copolymer in an amount of 0.01 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of said graft-copolymer, and then removing water. The bulk specific gravity of a synthetic resin powder produced is large, the flowability and blocking resistance are remarkably improved in comparison with known methods and blocking during storage is prevented. Lines for transporting the powder do not become packed with the resin powder. It is possible to automatically weigh the resin powder, and the powder does not exhibit a tendency to increase in volume during mass transport.

  • Patent number: 4904720
    Abstract: A process for improving properties of a synthetic resin powder which comprises: subjecting a latex of a graft-copolymer whose back bone is a rubber to coagulation, and adding a silicone oil to the graft-copolymer in an amount of 0.01 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of said graft-copolymer. According to the present invention, the bulk specific gravity of a synthetic resin powder can be made large, the flowability and blocking resistance can be remarkably improved in comparison with known methods. Accordingly, the blocking during storage can be prevented, a line for transport is not packed with the resin powder, it is possible to automatically weigh the resin powder, and it is applicable to the tendency to grow larger in transport.
