  • Patent number: 6015856
    Abstract: A composite resin material exhibiting excellent physical properties, which is formed by adding semi-rigid or rigid polyurethane resin waste to a thermoplastic reactive resin, a nonreactive resin, a polymer alloy or the like. A first kind of the composite resin material is composed of a crosslinking polyurethane resin and a reactive resin, a nonreactive resin or a polymer alloy, which is formed by kneading the crosslinking polyurethane resin and the reactive resin, the nonreactive resin or the polymer alloy at a predetermined temperature or more. A second kind of the composite resin material is composed of a hydrolysis product of crosslinking polyurethane resin and a solid filler, which are mixed with a nonreactive resin and a polymer alloy by kneading.

  • Patent number: 5958988
    Abstract: A cross-linked polyurethane resin powder includes a powder including particles made from a hard or a semi-hard polyurethane resin. The particles have a superficial portion and an internal portion disposed inside the superficial portion, and involve cross-linked bondings therein. Part of the cross-linked bondings are unchanged, and another part thereof are broken to result in activated groups. At least part of the activated groups are exposed on the superficial portion of the particles. The cross-linked polyurethane resin powder is produced by hydrolyzing a hard or semi-hard polyurethane resin in the presence of water and in a temperature range of from a hydrolysis temperature of the resin to a liquefying temperature thereof, and by applying a predetermined shearing force to the resin. The cross-linked polyurethane resin powder can disperse well in resinous substrates, and can upgrade the physical properties of the resulting recycled products.
