  • Patent number: 11312094
    Abstract: An assembly of a pneumatic tire and of a wheel, the pneumatic tire (10) being fitted to the wheel. The assembly comprises first and second self-sealing products housed in the internal volume (V) of the pneumatic tire (10). The first self-sealing product, referred to as solid self-sealing product (OS), covers a predetermined part of the internal surface of the pneumatic tire (10). The relative position of this predetermined part in the pneumatic tire (10) does not substantially vary under the effect of gravity. The second self-sealing product, referred to as liquid self-sealing product (OL), is in the liquid form.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 26, 2022

  • Patent number: 9290657
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a compound U comprising at least one urethane functional group, and its use as a fluidizing agent or fluidizing agent precursor in a process for preparing a polyamide article. The process comprises heating a composition comprising at least one polyamide PA and at least one compound U comprising at least one urethane functional group, at a temperature T, for a time t and at a pressure P, wherein the temperature T and the time t are such that CO2 is generated and the melt viscosity of the composition is decreased, in comparison with the melt viscosity of the composition without compound U, and recovering the article. The fluidizing agent can further enable the production of an article that has an unreduced density and/or in which the mean molar mass of the polymers of the composition is increased.

  • Publication number: 20150051335
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a specific compound as a fluidizing agent or as a fluidizing agent precursor in the molten state for a composition including a thermoplastic polymer, in particular a polyamide. The invention further relates to a method for preparing a polyamide article in which the viscosity, in the molten state, of a composition including the polyamide is decreased. The fluidizing agent can further enable the production of an article which has an unreduced density and/or in which the mean molar mass of the polymers of the composition is increased.
