  • NON-FLUORINATED HYDROPHOBIC THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING FATTY ACID AMIDE AND ARTICLES FORMED THEREFROM
    Publication number: 20260209472
    Abstract: Thermoplastic compositions comprise non-fluorinated hydrophobic additive comprising fatty acid amide, synergistic polymer additive comprising functional copolymer with pendant epoxide groups or alkylene oxide repeating units, and thermoplastic polymer. The combination of the non-fluorinated hydrophobic additive and the synergistic polymer additive results in thermoplastic compositions having improved hydrophobicity and/or enhanced durability of hydrophobicity while also being free of fluorine and fluorinated substances.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: July 23, 2026
    Applicant: Avient Corporation
    Inventors: Ryan Divens, Jian Zhou, Nicholas DeLucia, Nicholas Nun
  • NON-FLUORINATED HYDROPHOBIC THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING FATTY ACID ESTER AND ARTICLES FORMED THEREFROM
    Publication number: 20260209490
    Abstract: Thermoplastic compositions comprise non-fluorinated hydrophobic additive comprising fatty acid ester, hydrolysis stabilizer comprising at least one of polycarbodiimides and polyester-modified siloxanes, and thermoplastic polymer. The combination of the non-fluorinated hydrophobic additive and the hydrolysis stabilizer results in thermoplastic compositions having improved hydrophobicity and/or enhanced durability of hydrophobicity while also being free of fluorine and fluorinated substances.
