Abstract: A stampable thermoplastic composite having at least one thermoplastic layer and at least one shielding layer. The shielding layer comprises a material having an elongation to break of at least 8 percent, and the composite having an EMI/RFI shielding effectiveness of at least 30 db.

Abstract: An improved polymer sheet. The improvement is at least one surface polymer film layer and at least one fabric veil. A veil is laminated between each surface polymer film layer and the polymer sheet. There is a method of heating a polymer sheet containing the improvement of the present invention.

Abstract: An improved oxymethylene polymer composition is provided which is comprised of a blocked or unblocked isocyanate, a synergistic blend of isocyanate catalysts consisting of dibutyl tin dilaurate and at least one alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium saccharinate (as defined) and a reinforcing agent. The presence of the blend of isocyanate catalysts enables satisfactory coupling to be achieved between the reinforcing agent and the oxymethylene polymer with a smaller amount of isocyanate coupling agent than would normally be required. In addition, a lessened amount of catalyst is required to achieve such a result.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a thermosetting coating composition for improving the scratch resistance, blush resistance, and lubricity of glass surfaces (e.g., glass bottles), and in certain instances also improving the label adhesion of coatings derived therefrom which comprises as functional ingredients a polyamine terminated polyepoxide adduct salt, an epoxy crosslinker, a reactive silane, a surfactant, and a natural or synthetic wax. The coating composition is carried in a vehicle which comprises water and a suitable co-solvent. The combination of the adduct salt and co-solvent permits the microemulsification of the epoxy crosslinker. The wax is also present in the emulsified state.
