  • Patent number: 9902821
    Abstract: A composition [composition (C)] comprising at least one poly(aryl ether ketone) polymer having a melt flow rate (MFR) equal to or higher than 8 g/10 min at 400.degree. C. and under a load of 2.16 kg, [(PAEKHMF) polymer], from 0.1 to 50 wt. % of at least one poly(tetrafluoroethylene) polymer having a D50 particle size equal to or below 10.mu.m, and having a melt viscosity equal to or lower than 1.times.105 Pas at 372.degree. C., from 0 to 50% wt. % of at least one poly(aryl ether sulfone) polymer having a melt flow of at least 15 g/10 min at 365 degree C. and under a load of 5.0 kg, [(PAES) polymer], from 0 to 50% wt. % of at least one reinforcing filler, with the proviso that—should the composition (C) comprise a (PAES) polymer having MFR of more than 22 g/10 min, then the (PTFE) polymer is present in an amount of less than 40 wt. %, and—should the composition (C) comprise a (PAES) polymer having MFR of 22 g/10 min or less, then the (PTFE) polymer is present in an amount of less than 30 wt.

  • Patent number: 6726967
    Abstract: An adapter provides for mounting an object on plastic. The adapter comprises a body coupled with at least two feet. The feet are weldable to the surface of the plastic while the plastic is in a molten state. The adapter also includes a coupling mechanism coupled with the body. The coupling mechanism is operable to couple the object with the adapter.

  • Patent number: 6669043
    Abstract: A pass-through device for internalized component fuel tanks provides passageways for communication between the interior chamber of the fuel tank and the exterior. The pass-through device includes a communicative passageway for a fuel supply line and a through opening for electrical connections, and may include additional communicative passageways for fuel return lines, and purge and fresh air inlets. The pass-through device includes a main body preferably composed of nylon. The main body is bonded to a mounting plate preferably composed of polyethylene. The mounting plate provides a circumferential surface for weldably sealing the pass-through device to a polymeric fuel tank.

  • Publication number: 20020020705
    Abstract: A low permeation fuel tank formed with a first half and a second half includes a hydrocarbon barrier and a fuel system module. The hydrocarbon barrier reduces the emission of hydrocarbons from the fuel tank. Minimization of discontinuities in the hydrocarbon barrier is achieved by positioning the fuel system module within the fuel tank. The fuel system module includes a preformed sheet to provide flexible and rigid support to the fuel tank. In addition, the fuel system module may include fuel system components, structural enhancements of the fuel tank and/or functional features of the fuel tank to minimize production of holes or other discontinuities in the hydrocarbon barrier.
