Introduction
Frank Wilhelm Embs is an inventor based in Charlotte, NC (US). He is currently associated with Indorama Germany GmbH, where he focuses on advancements in polyester technology. Although he has not yet been granted any patents, his contributions to the field are noteworthy.
Latest Patent Applications
Frank Wilhelm Embs has filed several patent applications that showcase his innovative approach to polyester resin blends. One of his latest applications is titled "Method for Improved Polyester Resin Blends for Oxygen Scavenging and Products Thereof." This application discloses a method for producing an oxygen scavenging resin by reacting an aromatic diacid or its diester, and an ionic diacid or its diester, with a diol and a metal compound to create an ionic copolyester. The process includes cooling, cutting, and drying the ionic copolyester into solid pellets, followed by mixing it with a dried oxidizable polymer, ensuring that the oxidizable polymer is not a partially aromatic polyamide.
Another significant application is for a "Polyester Composition and Bottle for Carbonated Pasteurized Products." This invention relates to polyester compositions that are useful for manufacturing containers, minimizing the effect of secondary contamination during filling. Specifically, it describes a polyester bottle designed for filling carbonated pasteurized products, which includes at least one oxygen scavenging component that limits oxygen ingress to about 1 ppm or less when measured six months after filling. Additionally, it features at least one passive component that restricts carbonation loss to less than about 25% when measured six months after filling. The application also outlines a method for using the polyester bottle to minimize the growth of secondary contaminants in carbonated pasteurized products.
Conclusion
Frank Wilhelm Embs is making significant strides in the field of polyester technology through his innovative patent applications. His work has the potential to impact the manufacturing of containers and improve product quality in various industries.
