One method for making a laminate material comprising a first surface layer comprising resorcinol arylate polyester chain members and a second surface layer suitable for bonding to a substrate, comprises co-extruding a polymeric first surface layer material and a polymeric second surface layer material through a die and into the first nip of a calender roll stack comprising a first surface roll and a second surface roll that define the first nip, to form the laminate material. A nip load in the first nip of greater than or equal to about 400 N/cm can be applied to the laminate, and the laminate material can be collected from the roll stack. The first roll and the second roll can each have a surface smoothness of less than or equal to about 5 micrometers and temperatures of about 40&#xb0; C. to about 150&#xb0; C.

Method for manufacturing formable thermoplastic laminates

Disclosed is a formable thermoplastic multi-layer laminate comprising an outer layer comprising a polymer comprising resorcinol arylate polyester chain members, a middle layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer, an inner-tie layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer comprising a carbonate polymer and an acrylonitrile-styrene graft copolymer comprising at least one of an acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate graft copolymer (ASA) or an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene graft copolymer (ABS), the middle layer being between the outer layer and the inner-tie layer and being in contact with both the outer layer and the inner-tie layer. Also disclosed are a formed multi-layer laminate and an article comprising the multi-layer laminate bonded to a substrate. A method of making the article is also disclosed.

A process for the production of a bisphenol comprises reacting a feed comprising a phenol, a ketone and water in the presence of an ion exchange resin catalyst to produce an effluent; determining the para&#x2014;para bisphenol selectivity of the reaction; and adjusting the concentration of the water in the feed based upon the para&#x2014;para bisphenol selectivity in the effluent.
