Patent number: 7872073Abstract: A process is disclosed for dispersion spinning non-melt-processible fluoropolymer fiber in which a mixture of an aqueous dispersion of non-melt-processible fluoropolymer particles and an aqueous solution of a matrix polymer is formed. The non-melt-processible fluoropolymer particles have an SSG of less than about 2.40 and comprise a core of high molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene and a shell of lower molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene or modified polytetrafluoroethylene. The mixture is extruded into a coagulation bath containing a concentration of ions which coagulate the matrix polymer to form an intermediate fiber structure. The intermediate fiber structure is sintered to decompose the matrix polymer and coalesce the non-melt-processible fluoropolymer particles to form the fiber. The present invention also provides a spinning composition useful for the dispersion spinning of non-melt-processible fluoropolymer fiber.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2008Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: E.I. du Pont de Nemours and CompanyInventor: Clay Woodward Jones

Patent number: 7868063Abstract: Disclosed is a powdered polymeric lubricant having a multi-layer structure as a processing aid capable of being used to improve processability of a vinyl chloride resin, and a manufacturing method thereof. The powdered polymeric lubricant having multi-layer structure according to the present invention has an excellent ability to prevent its adhesion to a metal surface upon its processing so as to give a long-term workability to extrusion, calendaring, blow molding, injection molding, etc., when a small amount of the powder of the present invention is mixed with a vinyl chloride resin. Accordingly, the present invention provides a powdered polymeric lubricant capable of controlling compatibility with the vinyl chloride resin and minimizing the adhesive property to a metal surface of a processing machine when a vinyl chloride resin is processed with a polymer including a silicone-based polymer.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2006Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: LG Chem, Ltd.Inventors: Hyung-jun Son, Jeong-heon Ahn, Yong-hun Lee, Jung-sup Han

Patent number: RE42563Abstract: This invention relates to a fine particle of polymer for a plastisol free from halogen atoms and having a specific surface area of 0.6 to 20.0 m2/g as determined by nitrogen-gas adsorption and a non-halogenated plastisol composition therefrom. This invention can provide a non-halogenated plastisol composition which does not generate toxic substances during incineration, is suitable as a coating material or sealant, and has a low viscosity, resulting in good workability and processability.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2000Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshihiro Kasai, Toru Tsuchihashi
