Method for making a hollow body comprising, as sole layer(s), at least one layer L1 consisting of a polyamide composition comprising an aromatic polyamide and an impact modifier, said method comprising extruding the polyamide composition through a die.

Method for making a polyamide hollow body

A composition, having an improved resistance to yellowing under heat aging, comprising at least 20 weight % of at least one polycondensation polymer having a heat deflection temperature of above 80&#xb0; C. under a load of 1.82 MPa when measured according to ASTM D648, from 0 to 5 weight % of at least one polymer having a heat deflection temperature of at most 80&#xb0; C. under a load of 1.82 MPa when measured according to ASTM D648, a white pigment; and a black pigment provides resistance to heat aging induced yellowing. The polycondensation polymers are advantageously selected from the group consisting of polyarylethersulfones, at least partially aromatic polyamides, polyamideimides, liquid crystalline polymers, polyimides, polyetherimides, polyaryletherketones, and polyphenylene sulfides. The polymer composition can be molded to form a variety of articles, including LED components, such as reflectors, reflector cups, and scramblers.

A propylene polymer made using a magnesium halide-supported, titanium-containing solid catalyst component having a broad processing window is produced by incorporating into the polymerization catalyst system a selected alkyl methyldimethoxysilane, preferably isobutylmethyl-dimethoxysilane. Useful articles made from such resin include OPP film.

Process for treating a textile product comprising propylene polymer fibers comprises heating the textile product with the fibers in a substantially relaxed state at at least one temperature that is below the melting point of the propylene polymer but no more than about 20.degree. C. below such melting point. In one embodiment, the propylene polymer fibers subjected to such heating are characterized by a particular crystalline microstructure as determined by small angle X-ray diffraction. In another embodiment, the propylene polymer fibers subjected to such heating are melt spun, oriented fibers heated at at least one lower temperature.

Propylene polymer fibers are characterized by a unique crystalline microstructure as determined by small angle X-ray diffraction. The fibers and yarns comprising same exhibit improved recovery from compression and bending and are suited for a wide range of applications including geotextile, apparel and upholstery fabrics, carpet yarns and other textile products.
