  • Patent number: 5459230
    Abstract: The use of copolyamides as melt adhesive for heat sealing is disclosed. At least three monomer components are copolymerized in the copolyamide. These monomer components are selected from the following group: an equimolar mixture of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine (6,6 salt), lauric acid lactam, 11-aminoundecanoic acid, an equimolar mixture of azelaic acid and hexamethylenediamine (6,9 salt), an equimolar mixture of sebacic acid and hexamethylenediamine (6,10 salt) and an equimolar mixture of dodecane dicarboxylic acid and hexamethylenediamine (6,12 salt), the melting point of the copolyamide being lower than 140.degree. C. and at least 10% by weight of lauric acid lactam and/or 11-aminoundecanoic acid being copolymerized.

    Date of Patent: October 17, 1995
    Assignee: Elf Autochem Deutschland GmbH
    Inventors: Eduard de Jong, Karl-Heinz Hapelt
  • Patent number: 4774139
    Abstract: Thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive granulate for melt-coating, the granulate particles of which have a coating of a film of paraffin with a melting point of 45.degree. C. to 85.degree. C. in an amount of up to 5% by weight, based on the polymer. The antioxidant is present in the film coating. The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of this hot-melt adhesive granulate and to its used as a hot-melt coating for heat sealing.

  • Patent number: 4483975
    Abstract: Copolyetheresteramides containing, incorporated by condensation,20 to 40% by weight of caprolactam and/or .epsilon.-aminocaproic acid,10 to 30% by weight of an equimolecular mixture of adipic acid and primary aliphatic and/or cycloaliphatic C.sub.6 to C.sub.25 diamines,10 to 30% by weight of an equimolecular mixture of azelaic or sebacic acid and primary aliphatic and/or cycloaliphatic C.sub.6 to C.sub.25 diamines and20 to 40% by weight of an equimolecular mixture of decanedicarboxylic and/or brassylic acid and primary aliphatic and/or cycloaliphatic C.sub.6 to C.sub.25 diamines,always related to the total quantity of the polyamide-forming components, and in which, for 65 to 90% by weight of the total quantity of the polyamide-forming components, there are 10 to 35% by weight of the equimolecular quantities of saturated aliphatic linear dicarboxylic acids, having 6 to 13 C-atoms, and poly(alkylene oxide diols) as polyetherester-forming component, and a process for their preparation.
