Patent number: 8552117Abstract: Polyolefin based sealing element compositions with good oxygen barrier properties particularly suitable for forming sealing elements, for example gaskets and cap liners that are especially useful for sealing containers having products such as liquids or food-stuffs therein. The compositions when formed as sealing elements do not appreciably contribute taste and/or odor to a packaged product including the sealing element. The compositions have desirable rheological properties and are thus readily processable at various temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2012Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Teknor Apex CompanyInventors: Biing-Lin Lee, Kevin G.

Patent number: 7851559Abstract: Soft flame retardant thermoplastic compositions that are preferably halogen free and include a styrenic block copolymer having a low modulus, one or more of a polyolefin polymer or copolymer and an acrylate containing polymer or copolymer, one or more of a softener and plasticizer, an inorganic phosphorous-containing flame retardant, and optionally but preferably, a platelet filler such as a nanoclay or an organic modified clay. In a preferred embodiment, the phosphorous-containing flame retardant has a surface coating thereon which reduces sensitivity of the flame retardant to water, and thus reduces the amount of the flame retardant that can leach out in the presence of water, thereby enabling the compositions of the present invention to be utilized outdoors or other environments where exposure to water or high humidity is possible. The hardness of the compositions according to the invention preferably ranges from about Shore A 40 to about Shore A 90.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Teknor Apex CompanyInventor: Biing-Lin Lee

Patent number: RE39354Abstract: A laser-sinterable powder product has been prepared having unique properties which allow the powder to be sintered in a selective laser sintering machine to form a sintered part which is near-fully dense. For most purposes, the sintered part is indistinguishable from another part having the same dimensions made by isotropically molding the powder. In addition to being freely flowable at a temperature near its softening temperature, a useful powder is disclosed that has a two-tier distribution in which substantially no primary particles have an average diameter greater than 180 ?m, provided further that the number average ratio of particles smaller than 53 ?m is greater than 80%, the remaining larger particles being in the size range from 53 ?m to 180 ?m. A powder with slow recrystallization rates, as evidenced by non-overlapping or slightly overlapping endothermic and exothermic peaks in their differential scanning calorimetry characteristics for scan rates of on the order of 10° C. to 20° C.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2002Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: 3D Systems, Inc.Inventors: Elmer Douglas Dickens, Jr., Biing-Lin Lee, Glenn Alfred Taylor, Angelo Joseph Magistro, Hendra Ng, Kevin P.
