  • IMPACT MODIFIED POLYPHENYLENE SULFIDE
    Publication number: 20100004375
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for improving the impact resistance of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) using a functional polyolefin and an elastomer, in which the functional polyolefin and elastomer are pre-compounded prior to combination with the PPS. The pre-compounding of the PPS additives prior to addition of the additives to the PPS provides a composition having vastly improved impact and strain at break properties. Especially useful functional polyolefins are LOTADER resins (Arkema Inc.) and especially useful elastomers are PEBAX resins (Arkema Inc.).

  • BREATHABLE, DEET-RESISTANT POLYETHER BLOCK POLYAMIDE
    Publication number: 20100003486
    Abstract: The invention relates to a polyether block amide film, having both resistance to N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) insecticide according to MTL-DTL-31011B along with a high level of breathability (>700 g/m2/day) according to ASTM E96 B (50% R.H. & 23° C.). The polyether block polyamides of the invention can be applied to a substrate to produce water barrier, DEET-resistant and breathable apparel.
