The flame retarding polyesters are also effective as processing aids in improving the flowability and moldability of the resins during melt processing.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1989Date of Patent: August 27, 1991Assignee: Atochem North America, Inc.Inventors: Joseph M. Bohen, Gerald H. Reifenberg

Patent number: 4927873Abstract: Flame retardancy of polyphenylene ether resins is increased by blending with the resin a flame retarding amount of a halophenyl hydrocarbyl ester. The ester is preferably the reaction production of a halogenated phenol, preferably a bromophenol, and a hydrocarbyl acid, acid chloride or acid anhydride. The polyphenylene ether resin may include homopolymers or copolymers of polyphenylene ethers or blends of polyphenylene ethers with vinyl aromatic resins such as styrene polymers and copolymers. The flame retarding halophenyl esters are also effective as processing aids in improving the flowability and moldability of the polyphenylene ether resins during melt processing.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1988Date of Patent: May 22, 1990Assignee: Pennwalt CorporationInventor: Joseph M.

Patent number: 4921890Abstract: A process for improving the flame retardancy, hygroscopic, soil release and other properties of a polymer substrate is provided in which the substrate is contacted with a suitable aqueous mixture containing a water-soluble monomer and an organic halogen-containing hydrophobic carrier compound at a temperature of between about 40.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. Polymerization of the monomer is thereafter initiated by a chemical or physical initiator to form a polymer evenly disposed on the substrate. The flame retardancy, hygroscopic, soil release and other surface properties of the substrate are thereby improved. The mixture may be in the form of an emulsion wherein the hydrophobic carrier compound is emulsified by an appropriate agent. The invention also pertains to the improved substrates prepared in accordance with the present process.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1987Date of Patent: May 1, 1990Assignee: Intera Company, Ltd.Inventors: Katsumi Hayashi, Gregory A.
