Tough Glossy Polymer Blends

US Patent:
5556917, Sep 17, 1996
Filed:
Oct 8, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/134217
Inventors:
Michael B. Colella - Plantsville CT
Michael Castriotta - Lancaster MA
Assignee:
Novacor Chemicals (International ) SA - Fribourg
International Classification:
C08L 5104
US Classification:
525 71
Abstract:
A polymer alloy is provided which comprises: (I) from 10-50 parts by weight of an impact resistant styrene acrylate alloy which comprises (i) from 90 to 30 parts by weight of a brittle polymer (e. g. a styrene/alkyl (meth)acrylate copolymer, optionally with a (meth)acrylic acid comonomer), (ii) from 3 to 50 parts by weight of a rubbery polymer (e. g. a styrene/conjugated diolefin linear, tapered, radial di-block or tri-block copolymer), and (iii) from 15 to 67 parts by weight of a ductile polymer (e. g. a a styrene/conjugated diolefin linear, radial di-block or tri-block copolymer), and (II) from 90 to 50 parts by weight of an impact modified styrene polymer. The resulting polymer blends have good impact strength, tensile strength and gloss.

Highly Transparent Tough Polymer Blends

US Patent:
5344878, Sep 6, 1994
Filed:
Mar 3, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/025606
Inventors:
Michael Colella - Plantsville CT
Brian Marcoulier - Fitchburg MA
Assignee:
Novacor Chemicals (International) S.A. - Fribourg
International Classification:
C08L 5104, C08L 2514
US Classification:
525 84
Abstract:
There is a demand for very clear tough polymers or polymer blends, particularly in the packaging industry. Crystal polystyrene is clear but lacks toughness. HIPS is tough but lacks the required clarity. Blends of styrene-ester polymers with a very small amount of HIPS do provide a very clear tough polymer alloy.

Clear Tough Alloys

US Patent:
5237007, Aug 17, 1993
Filed:
Mar 9, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/848732
Inventors:
Michael Colella - Plantsville CT
Assignee:
Novacor Chemicals (International) S.A. - Fribourg
International Classification:
C08L 5302, C08L 2514, C08L 3308, C08L 3310
US Classification:
525693
Abstract:
A tough transparent polymer alloy comprises from 98 to 85 weight % of a styrene acrylic polymer and from 2 to 15 weight % of a blend comprising from 70 to 90 weight % of a high styrene styrene-butadiene polymer and from 30 to 10 weight % of a high butadiene styrene-butadiene polymer. The resulting alloy has good clarity and impact properties.

Housewares

US Patent:
5294677, Mar 15, 1994
Filed:
Sep 12, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/758802
Inventors:
Deborah I. Hauser - Lowell MA
Michael B. Colella - Plantsville CT
William G. Blasius - Charlton MA
Assignee:
Novacor Chemicals (International) S.A. - Fribourg
International Classification:
C08F26506
US Classification:
525308
Abstract:
Many cleaners, are extremely hard on many plastic products causing environmental stress cracking. Small household articles made from a polymer alloy of a clear brittle styrenic acrylate, a rubbery block styrene-diene copolymer, and a ductile styrene-diene polymer when exposed to such cleaners have significantly less environmental stress cracking.
