Patent number: 10825587Abstract: Polyamide compositions for use in forming wire or cable jacket compositions. The polyamide compositions include a component of polyamide 6/66 copolymer formed from substantially randomly distributed caprolactam monomers and hexamethylenediamine monomers. The polyamide 6/66 copolymer component may form the entirety of the polyamide composition or alternatively, the polyamide composition may include an amount of polyamide 6 homopolymer blended with the polyamide 6/66 copolymer component. The composition also includes one or more additives, such as at least one UV mitigation component, and the polyamide composition further has at least one of a measured transmittance of at least 70% and a measured haze of less than 60%, as determined by ASTM D1003.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: AdvanSix Resins & Chemicals LLC.Inventors: John V.

Publication number: 20180244918Abstract: Polyamide base resins with improved crystallization dynamics for the production of reinforced polyamide compositions having improved surface, shrink, warpage and mechanical properties such as toughness. The polyamide base resins are copolymers of polyamide 6 and polyamide 66, formed of ratios that are tailored to reduce the crystallization rate and final crystallization extent when used in melt processing to produce glass filled articles. The copolymers demonstrate improved polyamide morphology dynamics that in turn impart improved final properties in reinforced molded articles, such as improved surface finish, improved toughness/impact resistance, reduced warpage, and more symmetrical shrinkage properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2018Publication date: August 30, 2018Inventors: Timothy Bauer, Haiming Chen, John V. Facinelli, Min Wang

Patent number: 9916917Abstract: Methods for mixing nylon compounds and compositions useful in mixing nylon compounds are provided. The methods and compositions disclosed are useful in producing nylon for wire and cable jacketing. The disclosed methods provide nylon having a reduced heat history compared to traditional methods. The disclosed methods and composition provide additional mixing capacity by reducing the amount of nylon that must be incorporated with additives per unit of final nylon composition. The disclosed methods and compositions provide the ability to select from a plurality of additive concentration levels in the final product by varying the ratio of a masterbatch compound containing a high concentration of the additive to a resin containing a low concentration or no additive.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2016Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: ADVANSIX RESINS & CHEMICALS LLCInventors: John V. Facinelli, Clark V. Brown, David J. Loy, Robert A. Houck, Jr., Dana A. Germain

Patent number: 8722844Abstract: A polyamide composition is formed by combining a phosphorous containing catalyst with monomer starting materials under conditions suitable to cause polymerization of the monomer starting material into a low molecular weight polyamide material. The polyamide material, which may include remaining or residual catalyst, is then further polymerized via solid state polycondensation at a temperature suitable to form a high molecular weight polyamide material. The presence of the catalyst results in increased solid state polymerization rate and a final polyamide material composition with increased viscosity and a higher molecular weight.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2012Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: John V. Facinelli, Timothy J. Kraft, Robbyn L. Prange
