A process for extruding resilient, impact resistant thermoplastic strips having a metallic appearance by providing a non-metallic film strip of a material selected from the group consisting of polysulfones and polyether sulfones and having a vapor deposited metallized surface, the film strip having melting and deformation temperatures higher than those of a transparent thermoplastic to be extruded thereon and a resiliency and an elasticity at least as high as the resiliency and elasticity of such transparent thermoplastic when extruded thereon and, while feeding such film strip through a cross-head die, extruding the transparent thermoplastic about the metallized film strip and the resilient, impact resistant thermoplastic strip having a metallic appearance produced thereby.

Flexible impact resistant trim and method for manufacture thereof

Novel organo-titanates, mixtures thereof, and products thereof and inorganic particulate surfaces and methods of making such reaction products. The reaction, which preferably occurs in an organic medium, modifies the inorganic surface by forming a monomolecular organic complex layer. The modified surface causes complete dispersion and improved compatibility of the inorganic particles or fibers in organic media and results in lower viscosity, high inorganic-to-organic ratios than heretofore obtainable, and improved physical properties in polymer systems, and more complete chemical utilization of reactive inorganic compounds.
