Flame retardant compositions comprising a polymer of carbon monoxide, and at least one olefin, and a flame retarding quantity of a melamine compound.

Polyketone flame retardant composition

An aliphatic ketone polymer composition having during melt processing improved melt stabilization against significant cross linking and reduced discoloration wherein the composition has in addition to the aliphatic ketone polymer an additive stabilizer comprising a polyol such as sorbitol and an aluminum hydroxide, or an alumina hydrogel, or decomposition products thereof such as pseudo-boehmite. The additive is present in an amount of about 0.01 to about 10.0 weight % based on the weight of ketone polymer and additive.

Melt and color stabilization of aliphatic polyketones

A thermoplastic resin composition having improved hydrolytic stability having in admixture a saturated polyester resin such as polybutylene terephthalate, an epoxy novolac, a glass fiber reinforcing filler and a catalyst such as sodium stearate.

Hydrolytic stable glass fiber reinforced polyester resins

The invention relates to polymer mixtures comprising a first polyalkylene phthalate and a second polyalkylene phthalate and/or a thermoplastic elastomer. Certain compounds, namely phosphates, have been found to be good transesterification inhibitors. An important advantage of the said inhibitors is that they do not condense, or hardly condense, to polyphosphates and that they do not negatively influence the impact strength of the polymer mixture.

Polymer mixture and articles formed therefrom

The invention relates to polymer mixtures comprising a first polyalkylene phthalate, for example, polybutylene terephthalate, and a second polyalkylene phthalate and/or a thermoplastic elastomer and phosphorus compounds. It has been found that, with regard to the crystallisation behaviour, the addition of certain nucleating agents (namely talcum or carbon black) show a synergistic effect with certain phosporus compounds.

Polymer mixtures and articles formed therefrom

The invention relates to polymer mixtures which comprise a polyalkylene phthalate and an aromatic polycarbonate and/or a brominated aromatic carbonate oligomer, polymer or copolymer. It has been found that zinc or calcium hydrogen phosphates are good transesterification inhibitors. An important advantage of the said inhibitors is that they do not condense or hardly condense to polyphosphates and that they do not negatively influence the impact strength of the polymer mixture.
