Abstract: The core/jacket catalyst molding with a core made from an inorganic support material and with a jacket made from a catalytically active material can be prepared by coextruding an aqueous molding composition which comprises the support material or a precursor thereof, with an aqueous molding composition which comprises the catalytically active material or a precursor thereof, then drying the coextrudate, and then calcining the dried coextrudate.

Abstract: Continuous process for preparing polyoxymethylene homo- or copolymers by bulk polymerization of the monomers in the presence of cationic initiators, and also, if desired, in the presence of regulators, where during the polymerization both the monomers and the polymer are present in molten form and, if desired, the polymer is then deactivated, and the melt is discharged, cooled and pelletized, which comprises discharging, cooling and pelletizing the polymer at an elevated pressure and in the presence of a liquid.

Abstract: In a method for granulating thermoplastic polymers, in particular thermoplastic polyolefins, the polymer powder prepared in the polymerization reactor is melted and homogenized in an extruder, then forced through an extrusion die and granulated. In accordance with the invention, the polymer powder is subjected to heat treatment before introduction into the extruder, resulting in the introduction of the polymer powder into the extruder being carried out at an elevated powder temperature. The invention is particularly suitable for the granulation of polyethylene or polypropylene.

Abstract: A method for the continuous colorimetry of plastics molding compounds, which involves light being introduced, via transmitter light pipes and a sensor head, into the melt of the molding compound and the light reflected there being passed, via receiver light pipes, to a spectrometer or multirange photometer, conjugate transmitter and receiver light pipes in each case being spaced equidistantly.

Abstract: A polymer material (6) is formed from a first polyethylene component (1) having a low density (VLDPE) which is silane-grafted with an organic silane (3) in combination with organic peroxide (4) and is cross-linked through storage in a damp environment and/or in water. The polymer material (6) can be processed into medical instruments under dry conditions prior to cross-linkage. After cross-linkage the medical instruments made from the polymer material (6) exhibit a high degree of transparency, are non-buckling and flexible. The polymer material (6) is produced in an extruder, preferentially in a double-worm extruder.
