Patent number: 6160038Abstract: A method for dispersing solid forms of additives in polymers involves adding dispersions or solutions of additive(s) to a solution of polymer in a tubular mixer (preferably in the presence of a stationary mixer). The mixer leads to a steam precipitation step wherein all fluid ingredients in the mixture are volatilized leaving the solid additive and resin in the desired ratio. This results in a uniform dispersion of the additives in the polymer matrix. As a result of the high dispersion, physical properties of a thermoplastic resin, to which the polymer matrix has been added are preserved. In one illustration, PTFE as a drip inhibitor additive, is added to polycarbonate to obtain a highly dispersed PTFE concentrate of improved drip-inhibition without loss of mechanical properties when added to a thermoplastic molding resin.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1999Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Qamar S.

The low solvent content type-coating composition comprises a polyester oligomer having a hydroxyl group in an amount of 2.0 to 10.0 moles/Kg-resin, a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 300 to 1500, a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 300 to 3000, and a ratio of a weight average molecular weight/a number average molecular weight (Mw/Mn) of 1 to 2.0, an amount of a modifying lactone being 31 to 85%, and an aliphatic hydrocarbon group of C4-22 which is not derived from lactones. The present invention is also to provide a process for coating a low solvent content type-coating composition on, for example, a base coating composition by a wet-on-wet coating.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1995Date of Patent: March 21, 2000Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Yoshiaki Marutani, Takashi Tomita, Tadamitsu Nakahama, Hiroyuki Uemura, Kazuhi Koga, Mika Ohsawa
