  • Patent number: 4895884
    Abstract: There is disclosed the use of microencapsulated antidegradants in rubber and a process for the production of microencapsulated antidegradants. More specifically, this invention is directed to the cellulose acetate microencapsulation of para-phenylene diamine based antiozonants at wall to core ratios greater than 1:1 but less than 4:1. The microcapsules preferably have a particle diameter of less than 50 microns. The microencapsulated antidegradant prepared and used according to this invention provides long term protection to rubber articles that are subject to ozone and oxygen attack.

  • Patent number: 4806410
    Abstract: Processes for the production of antistatic or static dissipative papers. The papers produced may be expeditiously used in dunnage converter machines operable to produce an antistatic (static dissipative) resilient pad-like cushioning dunnage product, for packaging and the like. In one of the processes, liquid antistatic material is applied to a still wet porous paper web produced on a Fourdrinier-type paper making machine, and in predetermined amount for impregnation therein, prior to the completion of the drying of the paper. In another process, a web of dry paper is impregnated with liquid antistatic material, and then the treated web is dried.

  • Patent number: 4713407
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyester resin composition, and more particularly, to a polyester resin composition having excellent properties in flame retardance, mechanical property, heat resistance and moldability. Said polyester resin composition comprises 100 parts by weight of polyester resin (A), from 20 to 70 parts by weight of glass fibers (B), from 2 to 8 parts by weight of a crystallization-accelerating agent (C), from 10 to 25 parts by weight of flame retardant (D) and, as a auxiliary flame retardant (E), from 1 to 10 parts by weight of an antimony compound and from 2 to 12 parts by weight of a boric acid salt.
