Described is a thermoplastic molding composition comprising: a) 0.05 to 1.5 wt. %, with respect to the entire molding composition, of a fatty acid amide ester wax; b) 0.5 to 10 wt. %, with respect to the entire molding composition, of a silica selected from natural silica, synthetic silica and mixtures thereof; c) 0 to 1 wt. %, with respect to the entire molding composition, of a montan wax; and d) at least one thermoplastic elastomer. Also described are a method of preparing the thermoplastic molding composition, and methods of preparing articles from the thermoplastic molding composition.

Thermoplastic elastomer molding compositions with improved processability

The invention provides a monolayered thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive film without a separating layer which can be rolled up and unrolled without the additional use of a separating layer and in which the polymer matrix of copolyamides and/or copolyesters contains an additive combination of 0.4 wt. % to 8.0 wt. % of a spacer and 0.05 wt. % to 1.0 wt. % of a separating and lubricating agent, and optionally up to 1 wt. % of other additives, each with respect to the total mixture.

Rollable, single-coated hot melt adhesive film with no interlayer

The present invention relates to a method for modifying articles and/or semi-finished products made from polymer resin moulding compositions, wherein said articles and/or semi-finished products, which substantially consist of moulding compositions comprising mixtures of thermoplastic polymers where exhibit good biodegradability and thermoplastic polymers which exhibit poor biodegradability, are subjected to biodegradation.

Method for modifying products or half-stuffs from molding materials consisting of mixtures of thermoplastic synthetic materials

The invention relates to an extruded single-layer copolyetherester film with improved permeability to water vapor coupled with favorable mechanical properties, high elasticity and good surface slip so that it does not block on machinery.

Water vapor permeable breathable films and their use

The present invention relates to a film made of acrylate terpolymer blends, which substantially consists of mixtures of soft acrylate polymers, which themselves are synthesised from acrylate, styrene and acrylonitrile monomers, with thermoplastic polyurethanes having Shore hardnesses of less than 90 A as measured according to DIN 53 505.

Film made of acrylate terpolymer mixtures and the use thereof

A waterproof and, at the same time, breathable and antistatic film produced without a support by extrusion, the film having a DIN friction coefficient of less than 0.8 and consisting of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer resins with a melt flow rate, as measured at 190.degree. C. under a load of 10 kg, of at most 70, the soft segment of the elastomer resins consisting of polyethylene oxide and/or containing ethylene oxide reaction products and the relative percentage by weight of the soft segment in the polyurethane resin being between 35% by weight and 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the polyurethane used.

Non-crackling, antistatic polyurethane film with high breathability and

Film of at least two layers having at least one side softening at a lower temperature and at least one side softening at a higher temperature, wherein the higher-softening side substantially consists of a thermoplastic polyurethane which softens at above 100.degree. C. on a Kofler hot bench and the median of the softening range is at least 15.degree. C. above that of the lower-softening layer and the matrix component of the lower-softening side consists of at least one hot-bonding thermoplastic material from the group comprising polyamides, polyesters and polyurethanes having a median of the softening range on a Kofler hot bench of below 100.degree. C. and at least one thermoplastic additive component containing hydrocarbon is added to the lower-softening layer.

Laminating film without a release layer, process for the production

The present invention relates to a multilayer film having at least one layer substantially formed from thermoplastic polyurethanes, and at least one further layer, formed from an olefin-based polymer coupling agent, which contains maleic anhydride as a formulation component and the Vicat softening temperature of which, measured to ASTM D 1525, is less than 60.degree. C.

Flexible multilayer film and use thereof

The present invention relates to waterproof but breathable flat materials prepared from the melt from polymer resin mixtures consisting of at least two different melt processable polyurethanes, wherein the different thermoplastic polyurethanes have soft segments with different chemical constitutions, wherein the thermoplastic polyurethane which forms the matrix is a polyurethane with a ether based soft segment, wherein the ether segment has a carbon/oxygen atomic ratio of at least two and at most three and is present at a rate of 70-95 wt. % with reference to the total weight of thermoplastic polyurethanes used for melt processing to produce a flat material, and wherein the flat materials according to the invention have a higher permeability to water vapour, determined according to DIN 53 122, and a lower water absorption, determined according to DIN 53 495, method C, than flat materials made from one of the polyurethanes used for the polymer resin mixture.

Waterproof and breathable flat materials made from resin mixtures of

The present invention relates to a film of at least two layers having at least one side softening at a lower temperature and at least one side softening at a higher temperature, wherein the higher-softening side substantially consists of a thermoplastic polyurethane which softens at above 100.degree. C. on a Kofler hot bench and the median of the softening range is at least 15.degree. C. above that of the lower-softening layer and the matrix component of the lower-softening side consists of at least one hot-bonding thermoplastic material from the group comprising polyamides, polyesters and polyurethanes having a median of the softening range on a Kofler hot bench of below 100.degree.
