The liquid or low melting point solid ingredient is combined with a binder which is comprised of at least a wax and thermoplastic polymer. During the method of forming the product, both the binder and the liquid compound (or low melting point solid compound) pass through a liquid phase during which they are mixed. The product is then formed and cooled.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2000Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Rhein Chemie CorporationInventors: Richard D. Cortelezzi, Clifford C. Martin

Publication number: 20020183424Abstract: Flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid vinyl chloride polymer compositions comprising a latent mercaptan-containing heat stabilizer are substantially free from the offensive odor typically associated with mercaptans and are protected during processing by the degradation products of the latent (i.e., blocked) mercaptan which include a free mercaptan. The free mercaptan thus released enhances the activity of metallic-based heat stabilizers such as zinc carboxylates and organotin carboxylates and mercaptides in the polymer composition. Other products of the degradation are believed to include carbocations of the blocking moiety which are stabilized by a molecular structure in which the electron deficiency is shared by several groups. The latent mercaptan is selected from the group consisting of a 2-S-(tetrahydropyranyl)-thioalkanol, a carboxylic acid ester thereof, a 2-S-(tetrahydropyranyl)-thioglycolic acid, and an ester thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 1998Publication date: December 5, 2002Inventors: TOD C.
