Patent number: 6756429Abstract: The invention provides a process for making a let-down of glass fiber reinforced composite comprising a polymer matrix and from 5 wt. % to about 60 wt. % of reinforcing fibers long fibers. The fibers are incorporated in the let-down as a concentrate of pultruded composite of substantially parallel fibers and thermoplastic polyamide where fiber length equals pellet length. The fibers in the let-down have improved dispersion and orientation in the final thermoplastic polymer matrix thereby providing substantially improved physical properties from the forming of the fiber reinforced pellet with a modified pellet polymer matrix. The long fibers are incorporated as a concentrate pellet in the final matrix polymer by mixing pellets with the final polymer compound in a heated extrusion mixing zone used to convey a composite melt into a shaping zone, whereby the mixing under heat and rotational shear disperses the long fiber-reinforced pellets into the let-down matrix polymer.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2001Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Clariant Finance (BVI) LimitedInventor: Joseph R. Webster

Patent number: 6755875Abstract: Hindered amine compounds which are substituted by a long hydrocarbon chain are useful in a number of applications where the solubility or compatibility afforded by said substitution is needed. This is seen particularly for example with white, dyed, dipped, unscented and/or scanted candle wax which is effectively stabilized against discoloration and fading by the incorporation therein of a long chain hindered amine alone or in combination with a UV absorber and/or an antioxidant.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2002Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Ciba Specialty Chemicals CorporationInventors: Mervin G. Wood, Andrea R. Smith, James P. Galbo

Publication number: 20040122138Abstract: Blend formulation of a polychloroprene latex composition having excellent resistance to discoloration by light is presented. A polychloroprene latex composition having excellent resistance to discoloration by light can be obtained by compounding a polychloroprene latex with one member selected from a formamidine compound, a hindered amine compound, a phenol compound, a benzotriazole compound and a benzophenone compound each having a specific structure or a combination of these. An adhesive employing this composition exhibits excellent color fastness to light without losing the adhesive properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2003Publication date: June 24, 2004Inventors: Kiyoshi Sunada, Kosuke Watanabe
