Abstract: Artificial polyester hair, which retains fiber physical properties of general polyester fibers such as heat resistance and a degree of strength and elongation, are excellent in the setting property, transparency and touch feeling, and has excellent flame retardancy, is provided. The flame retardant artificial polyester hair, which retains fiber properties such as heat resistance and a degree of strength and elongation and is excellent in suitability for setting, transparency and touch feeling, is characterized by being obtained by melt-spinning a composition obtained by melt-kneading a polyester together with a bromine-containing flame retardant, the bromine-containing flame retardant having a melting point of 160 to 320° C. and a 5% loss on heat temperature of 220 to 450° C. or the bromine-containing flame retardant being a mixture of a bromine-containing flame retardant (b1) having a 5% loss on heat temperature of 220 to 310° C.

Abstract: A molded article such as a bathroom sink having improved thermal shock resistance is produced by molding the article from a composite unsaturated polyester resin in which the resin in the cured state has an HDT value in the range of about 68.degree. C.-78.degree. C.

Abstract: This invention relates to radiation hardenable primers based on prepolymers containing (meth) acryloyl groups and conventional auxiliary agents. The primers are characterized in that they contain organic and/or inorganic fibres having a fibre length distribution curve reaching its maximum in the region of from 50 to 600 .mu.m. These primers are suitable for coating articles which have absorbent surfaces, in particular for the continuous coating of wood-concrete articles such as wood-concrete boards.

Abstract: A process for producing a colloidal solution of a curable resin which comprises:blending (a) 5 to 90% by weight of a polyfunctional maleimide component and (b) 95 to 10% by weight of at least one thermosetting resin,heating them to form a composition, andblending the resulting composition with at least one low boiling point solvent having a boiling point of more than room temperature and less than 150.degree. C., in which the thermosetting resin is rich soluble, but the maleimide component is poor soluble, thereby forming a colloidal solution of a curable resin is disclosed. The colloidal solution is used as a coating, as an impregnating agent for a coil, or for preparing prepreg.
