Abstract: A mortar mixture for horizontal surfaces or as casting mortar in molds has at least 20% of the mortar mixture by volume being balls composed of expanded silica sand or expanded perlite with the balls being glazed and closed at the surface thereof and filled with air. The expanded perlite balls are mixed with binding agents, additives as binders, an air-void forming agent, chemical admixtures as liquefiers, quick-setting binders, or a combination thereof, and composed of polymers. The method for producing the mortar mixture is performed by sorting perlite sand into various grain sizes by a grading curve.

Abstract: Antimony free flame retardant compositions are prepared by combining a polymer resin, certain halogenated polyphenylene ether flame retardants and a non-brominated phenoxy oligomer or polymer such as a poly-phenylene ether, aryloxyester, or aryloxycarbonate. The present antimony free flame retardant compositions also typically have more desirable physical properties than similar compositions comprising antimony trioxide and other flame retardant. In particular embodiments, ATO free flame retardant HIPS and PC/ABS compositions are provided.
Abstract: The invention relates to absorptive, crosslinked polymers which are based on partly neutralized, monoethylenically unsaturated monomers carrying acid groups wherein the absorptive crosslinked polymer may be coated with a thermoplastic polymer, and have improved properties, in particular in respect of their capacity for transportation of liquids in the swollen state, and which has a high gel bed permeability and high centrifuge retention capacity.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for making a polymer-additive composite particle from a dope by jet spinning the dope to obtain a pulp, fibril or fibrid, wherein the solvent of the dope is selected from N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N?-dimethylformamide, N,N?-dimethylacetamide, tetramethylurea, and 4 to 75 wt % of a composition consisting of 2 to 95 wt % of a para-aramid polymer and 5-98 wt % of a solid additive material, to a total of 100 wt %, and wherein the aramid polymer is dissolved in the solvent; or coagulating the dope by means of a rotor-stator apparatus in which the polymer solution is applied through the stator on the rotor so that the precipitating polymer-additive composite particle is subjected to shear forces while they are in a plastic deformable stage.
