Flame retardant mixtures of a polyphenylene ether resin, an alkenyl aromatic elastomer, an organic phosphate flame retardant agent and a crosslinking agent are described. They are curable by heating or by exposure to high energy radiation. Articles such as electrical wires and cables comprising insulation made of the composition, and a method of their production, are also disclosed.

Crosslinkable flame retardant composition of polyphenylene ether and

Curable flame retardant mixtures of a polyolefin (non-rubbery), a polyphenylene ether resin, an aromatic phosphate, a brominated compound or polymer, and a crosslinking agent are described. Electrically conductive articles having insulation material made of the composition and methods for preparing such articles are also disclosed.

Crosslinkable flame retardant composition of polyolefin and

Flame retardant crosslinking admixtures of an olefinic rubber, a polyphenylene ether resin, an aromatic phosphate, a crosslinking agent, and optionally a stable brominated material are described. Electrically conductive articles, such as wires and cables, in which the compositions are incorporated as insulation material, and methods for their preparation, are also disclosed.

Crosslinkable flame retardant compositions of olefinic rubber and

Disclosed are blends of (a) a polyetherimide and (b) a polyarylate, an aromatic polyester which is derived from a dihydric phenol and a dicarboxylic acid. These blends have improved flexural strength and flexural modulus over the polyarylate component alone and have a higher impact strength than that associated with the polyetherimide component of the blends. In addition, the blends exhibit improved molding performance characteristics as evidenced by a lower molding pressure being required than that necessary for either component of the blend when molded alone.

Polyetherimide-polyarylate, blends

Disclosed are ternary blends of (a) a polyetherimide and (b) a polyarylate, an aromatic polyester which is derived from a dihydric phenol and a dicarboxylic acid and (c) a thermoplastic polymer selected from polycarbonates and aliphatic-aromatic polyesters which is compatible with the polyetherimide and the polyarylate. The blends exhibit a high heat distortion temperature and have a good degree of flame resistance.

Ternary polymer blends

The present invention relate to a ternary polymer blend containing in admixture (a) a polyetherimide; (b) a polyphenylene ether; and (c) a block copolymer of a vinyl aromatic compound and an alkene compound. These ternary blends exhibit high glass transition temperatures and excellent flexural properties.

Flame retardant ternary blends of polyetherimide, polyphenylene ether

The present invention relates to ternary polymer blends containing (a) a polyetherimide, (b) a rubber modified vinyl aromatic polymer, and (c) a polyphthalate carbonate. The blends have excellent high temperature properties, improved impact resistance values and have excellent flexural values.

Ternary polymer blends containing a polyetherimide, a polyphthalate

This invention is concerned with a new class of thermoplastic polymer blends which comprise in admixture a polyterephthalatecarbonate, a polyetherimide and a polyester.

Thermoplastic molding compositions are disclosed which comprise an intimate admixture of (a) a copolymer of a vinyl aromatic compound and an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated cyclic anhydride, including rubber-modified copolymers thereof, and (b) impact modifiers comprising graft copolymers, copolyesters, and rubber-modified homopolymers. Optionally, the compositions can also include a polyphenylene ether resin and further, optionally, a normally liquid polybutadiene oligomer. Mixing (a) with a polyphenylene ether leads to a compatible composition, markedly improved in heat deflection temperature.

A thermally regenerable ion exchange material is employed in a disposable cartridge preferably contained within an appliance such as a clothes washer or dishwasher. A hot water source is employed to regenerate the ion exchange material or to be mixed with cold water passed through the treatment cartridge. Additionally, in those situations requiring a high degree of deionization, hot water is used in conjunction with a heat exchanger to heat processed water rather than being mixed with it so as to produce fully de-ionized hot water.

Water softening system particularly for individual appliances

Disclosed are blends of (a) a polyetherimide and (b) a thermoplastic polycarbonate. The blends exhibit a higher heat distortion temperature and an improved flexural strength and tensile strength over the polycarbonate component alone and have a higher impact strength than that associated with the polyetherimide component of the blends. In addition, the blends may exhibit good flame resistance.
