Patent number: 4977240Abstract: A peroxide curing agent composition containing 20-90% of an unsaturated alkyd diluent which is fluid at room temperature, is disclosed. The curing agent is useful for the curing of unsaturated polyesters and eliminates the problem of the bleeding of harmful phthalate diluents from such cured polyesters, while providing excellent stability of the diluted peroxide.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1989Date of Patent: December 11, 1990Assignee: Kayaku Akzo CorporationInventor: Akio Ishiwatari

Patent number: 4975513Abstract: A crystalline polyester resin derived from the reaction between a prepolymer and trimellitic anhydride in an amount of less than 10 wt % of the prepolymer where prepolymer as an intermediate product formed from the reaction between an alcohol mixture containing at least 40 mole % ethylene glycol and at least 30 mol % neopentyl glycol, and an acid mixture containing terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate of at least 40 mole % and a linear dicarboxylic acid, or between an alcohol mixture containing 100 wt % terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate. The crystalline polyester resin is very suitable for use in powder coating compositions and has a hyodroxyl number of 20 to 100, an average molecular weight of 1000 to 3500 and a melt viscosity at 160.degree. C. of 500 to 4000 cps as well as the characteristics of dense, regular, and repetitive structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1988Date of Patent: December 4, 1990Assignee: Korea Chemical Co., Inc.Inventors: Bong J. Kim, Won S. Kim

Patent number: 4945151Abstract: When varied spin-oriented polyester filaments are produced over the course of time in a continuous multi-machine operation from polymeric precursors, the dyeabilities of the varying products are controlled and adjusted by adding small amounts of a chain-branching agent, such as a derivative of trimellitic acid, preferably trishydroxyethyl trimellitate. The process conveniently lends itself to automation of the control and adjustment operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1989Date of Patent: July 31, 1990Assignee: E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and CompanyInventors: George R. Goodley, Harold J. Taylor

Patent number: 4943602Abstract: Aqueous polyester dispersions are prepared by(a) condensing an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or ester with at least one diol to give a prepolymer having an acid number of from 2 to 8,(b) reacting the prepolymer with at least one molecular weight enhancer compound, e.g. trimellitic anhydride to give a polyester having an acid number of from 40 to 60, and(c) dispersing the polyester in an aqueous medium to form an aqueous dispersion by adding an aqueous mixture of ammonia and an amine in a molar ratio of from 10:1 to 1:10 to a melt of the polyester which has a temperature within the range from 150.degree. to 230.degree. C.,and are used as sizes for sizing filament warp yarns.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1989Date of Patent: July 24, 1990Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ralf Brueckmann, Heinz Leitner, Holger Schoepke
