Abstract: The present invention relates to a modifier composition, a stock mixture and a final composition comprising a fluoro elastomer and a thermoplastic polyamide, as well as to the film obtained from the final composition.

Abstract: Apparatus for conveying continuous collapsed film includes a guidance arrangement receiving the continuous collapsed film, the guidance arrangement including at least one guide roller and at least one turning bar for guiding the film. The at least one guide roller changes the direction of the film 180 degrees, and the at least one turning bar changes the direction of the film 180 degrees. A conveyor belt travels the same speed as the film and the conveyor belt and the film loop over the one turning bar in superimposed relationship with the conveyor belt being between the at least one turning bar and the film such that the conveyor belt carries the film during the looping over the at least one turning bar.

Abstract: An extruded thermoplastic polymer conduit having a conduit wall of substantially uniform crystalline morphology through the entire thickness thereof free of any oriented surface zone and the process of making such conduits.

Abstract: An extruded thermoplastic polymer conduit having a conduit wall of substantially uniform crystalline morphology through the entire thickness thereof free of any oriented surface zone is formed by heating to melt the surface zone and cooling to recrystallize the surface zone.

Abstract: A multilayer composite material, suitable for capping plastic milk bottles and other containers, comprising;(a) a metal foil,(b) a polyolefin film, and(c) an adhesive layer bonding the metal foil and the polyolefin film together and formed of two compounds A and B; wherein said metal foil has a thickness between 25 and 75 microns; said polyolefin film has a thickness between 10 and 30 microns; and said adhesive layer has a thickness between 0.5 and 6 microns, and preferably between 2 and 5 microns.

Abstract: The invention relates to a two-layer composite material comprising a metal foil and an adhesive layer.The adhesive layer is formed of a mixture of two compounds A and B, compound A being a copolymer of an aliphatic monoolefin and a monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid which has good adhesion for the metal foil and the container, and compound B being a compound adapted to reduce the adhesion of compound A for the metal foil and/or the container.Said composite material is intended in particular for the fabrication of caps serving as closures for containers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of suspensions of at least one polymer, said process comprising as a first step the preparation of a first suspension of at least one polymer in an organic liquid by chilling a solution of said polymer.In accordance with the invention, there is added to the first polymer suspension in a second step a powder of at least one polymer, which may be the same as or different from the first.Use of said process in the production of two-layer composites formed of an aluminum sheet and a polymer layer.
