  • Patent number: 9580380
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing diamino-dicyclohexyl methane (H12MDA) by hydrogenation of diamino-diphenyl methane (MDA). In the process, 4,4?-MDA used as the starting material is firstly hydrogenated to prepare 4,4?-H12MDA. When the activity of the catalyst is reduced, the feed is switched from 4,4?-MDA to the mixture of 2,4?-MDA and 4,4?-MDA, and then when the conversion is stabilized, the feed is switched to 4,4?-MDA again. The deactivated catalyst is activated on line by switching the feed to the mixture of 2,4?-MDA and 4,4?-MDA. 4,4?-H12MDA having the trans-trans isomer content of 16˜24 wt % is produced, and the mixture of 2,4?-H12MDA and 4,4?-H12MDA is also produced, wherein the content of 2,4?-H12MDA in the mixture is 4˜15 wt %.

  • Patent number: 9382028
    Abstract: The present invention describes both a stretch-blow-molded opaque polyester container and a method of making it. The container, typically a beverage bottle has less than 15% transmission of visible light (500 nm) through a 0.4 millimeter wall thickness. It contains from about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % of said opacifying material. The opacifying material may be any material compatible with polyester resin. The method of making the container includes introducing the opacifying material during polymerization, or prepared as a master batch for mixing with the polymer. Selection of certain opacifying materials can also result in favorable reheat properties, gas permeation-barrier improvements, and when the resin contains both opacifying material and oxygen scavenger there can be a synergistic effect with respect to CO2 permeation.
