  • Patent number: 5041525
    Abstract: In a process for the manufacture of shaped polyethylene terephthalate structures, such as film or fiber, a crystalline sodium aluminosilicate molecular sieve is used as the catalyst for the polymerization of di(2-hydroxyethyl phthalate) or higher oligomer intermediate. In film, especially for audio and video tapes, the molecular sieve serves both as the catalyst and as a slip additive. In addition to the fact that this process eliminates antimony trioxide, heretofore used as the polymerization catalyst, the polyethylene terephthalate film made by the process of this invention has considerably fewer defects such as microgel inclusions, black specks, and pimples. Further, the amount of diethylene glycol formed in the process is reduced. Finally, polyethylene terephthalate degradation, contributing to the exudation of lower molecular weight materials, also is reduced.

  • Patent number: 5023288
    Abstract: The silicone rubber adhesive film of the present invention is characterized by simplicity of handling and an excellent workability and useablility, as well as by adhesiveness for various types of substrates and an excellent durability of adhesion. These characteristics are obtained because the silicone rubber adhesive film of the present invention comprises a silicone rubber composition which consists of components (A) through (G), particularly the specific wet-method hydrophobicized reinforcing silica comprising component (C) and the specific compounds of components (D) and (E) or components (D), (E), and (F), and because the tensile strength of said uncured silicone rubber composition falls within the range of 1.5 kg/cm.sup.2 to 5.0 kg/cm.sup.2 at 25 degrees Centigrade (JIS K 6301). Accordingly, when used on flat substrates such as textiles, glass, rubber sheet, etc., it can tightly bond the adhered partners into a single, integral body.
