Abstract: The disclosure relates to a bituminous composition and to the method of preparation thereof. The bituminous composition includes a bitumen, a first additive including at least one fatty acid ester function, saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, having a hydrocarbon chain with 4 to 36 carbon atoms, optionally substituted by at least one hydroxyl group and a second additive comprising at least one organogelator. The disclosure also relates to the use of a combination of the first and second additives in a bituminous composition, for lowering the dynamic viscosity of a bituminous composition or of a bitumen base at a temperature above or equal to 80° C., preferably above 80° C., without impairing the consistence of the composition at the temperatures of use. Finally, the disclosure relates to the use of these bituminous compositions in the fields of highway applications, in particular in the manufacture of highway binders, and in the fields of industrial applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to an article based on a mixture of polyamide and polyolefin, which article includes at least one weld line due to multi-port injection molding, said article characterized in that the ratio of the viscosities of the polyolefin to the polyamide, measured at a shear rate higher than 100 s−1, is greater than 0.70, and that the quantity of polyamide is sufficient for the elongation at break to be greater than 10%. A typical application is the production of an injection molded automobile fender.

Abstract: There is provided a mixture comprising: (i) a matrix A comprising a polyolefin (A1) and/or a functionalized polyolefin (A2); and (ii) a dispersed phase comprising an alloy B of polyamide (B1) having a polyamide matrix, comprising for example a polyamide (B1), a functionalized polyolefin (B2) and optionally a polyolefin (B3). A method for producing same is disclosed and comprises mixing the constituents of matrix A and a ground product of a multi-layer film comprising at least one layer of alloy B.

Abstract: A recipient is provided comprising an outer rigid housing and an inner flexible bag under butane gas pressure, in which the inner flexible bag is a material comprising a mixture of polyamide forming a matrix and of functionalized ethylene polymer comprising a functionalized ethylene/(meth)acrylate copolymer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a film (A) consisting of a mixture comprising at least one polyamide and at least one polyolefin, the said film being placed on agricultural land into which a fumigant is injected. According to a first variant, the invention also relates to a film comprising the above layer (A) and a layer (B) consisting essentially of a polyolefin. According to a second variant, the invention also relates to a film comprising the above layer (A) placed between two layers (B). A coextrusion binder may optionally be placed between the layers (A) and (B) in the two variants. The invention also relates to a process for the treatment of soils by fumigation.
