A thermoplastic molding composition having a high neat deflection temperature but a relatively low melt extrusion temperature is formed by blending a polyetherimide with about 35 to about 80 weight percent of a copolyester of terephthalic and/or isophthalic acid and a glycol component comprising ethylene glycol and up to about 60 mol percent of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. The blend also has a high flexural modulus and can be used to form plastic articles that can be molded at moderate temperatures but retain flexural strength at elevated temperatures. Certain compositions of the invention are clear, single phase solid solutions.

High heat deflection temperature blends of certain polyesters with

A propylene-graft-unsaturated polyester is disclosed comprising the reaction product of a polypropylene, an unsaturated polyester and a free radical initiator. The polypropylene-graft-unsaturated polyester is generally prepared by reacting at elevated temperatures using a peroxide. The polypropylene-graft-unsaturated polyester is very useful as a compatibilizing agent in blends of polyester and ethylene-propylene rubber to improve the impact strength of the polyester.

Polypropylene-graft-unsaturated polyester compositions and process for

This invention relates to compositions containing poly(1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) (PCT) or copolyesters from terephthalic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and ethylene glycol, having improved impact strength at low temperatures due to the presence of an ethylene copolymer which contains repeat units from ethylene and at least 5 mole percent of a free radical polymerizable comonomer selected from the group consisting of vinyl acetate and an alkyl acrylate.

High impact polyester/ethylene copolymer blends

A dimensionally stable polyester melt blown web composition is disclosed. The polyester melt blown web is obtained by contacting the web with a solvent, and drying the web. The solvents which are used have total solubility parameters (S.sub.o) of 8.5 to 12.0 (cal/cm.sup.3).sup.1/2, solubility parameter component due to hydrogen bonding (S.sub.h) of 0.5 to 5.5 (cal/cm.sup.3).sup.1/2 and solubility parameter component due to polar forces (S.sub.p) of 0.5 to 7.0 (cal/cm.sup.3).sup.1/2). The polyesters used for such melt blown webs include poly(ethylene-terephthalate), poly(cyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalate) and blends and copolymers of these polymers.

Disclosed are certain polyester adhesive blend compositions comprising about 45-90 wt. percent of a copolyester, about 3-15 wt. percent of a plasticizer, and about 7-40 wt. percent of a tackifying resin. The blends are particularly useful in hot-melt glue gun applications.

Polyester formulations for hot-melt wood adhesives

Disclosed are certain copolyesters comprising an acid component of (1) 60 to 75 mol % of terephthalic acid, and (2) 25 to 40 mol % of a dicarboxylic acid, and a glycol component of (1) 55 to 65 mol % 1,4-butanediol, and (2) 35 to 45 mol % one or more other aliphatic diols. The copolyester or formulation thereof with a tackifying resin has excellent properties for use as a glue gun adhesive.

Copolyesters and formulations thereof for adhesives

Disclosed are hot-melt adhesive compositions comprising discrete particles of polyester adhesives, discrete particles of polyester containing a halogenated organic compound and discrete particles containing an antimony compound. Also disclosed is a method of incorporating both a halogenated organic compound and an antimony compound into a polyester adhesive composition.

Polyester adhesives

Disclosed are plastisol compositions comprising a poly(vinyl chloride) resin, a plasticizer for the resin in an amount sufficient to form a plastisol, and from about 4 to about 20% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, of a saturated, thermoplastic polyester dispersed in the plastisol, the polyester being in particulate form, having a melting point of about 70.degree. to about 200.degree. C., a heat of fusion of about 10 calories per gram or less, and an inherent viscosity of about 0.3 to about 1.0.

Poly(vinyl chloride) plastisol compositions

This invention is directed to blends of polymers of 2-substituted norbornenes such as poly(2-methoxycarbonyl-5-norbornene) and plasticized poly(vinyl chloride). These blends provide plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) compositions having high clarity as well as improved low temperature flexibility and improved low temperature impact strength.

Molding compositions

The hot-melt adhesives of the present invention comprise a blend of poly(propylene-co-higher 1-olefin), tackifying resin and crystalline propylene containing polymer. These hot-melt adhesive compositions have a novel combination of properties including strong T-peel and lap shear bonds to both low- and high-density polyethylene with excellent creep resistance at ambient temperatures. Therefore, these new hot-melt adhesives are excellent adhesives for applications such as sealing high-density polyethylene grocery bags and low-density shipping bags.
