A polyacetal resin composition is provided which has improved antistatic, heat stability and mechanical properties and contains a polyacetal homopolymer or copolymer, carbon black and a nonionic surfactant which is a polypropylene glycol/polyethylene glycol ether copolymer.

Polyacetal resin composition

The polymer or a copolymer of trioxane copolymer is manufactured by adding 0.001 to 2.0 wt. % of a stereo-hindering phenol to the monomer mixture in advance to the polymerization step and polymerizing trioxane and an optional co-monomer in the presence of a cationic, active catalyst and said phenol.

Method for manufacturing polymer or copolymer of trioxane

A polyacetal composition which comprises polyacetal, an aliphatic ester of a polyhydric alcohol having a hydroxy group, polyethylene glycol, and an organometallic salt, wherein the organometallic salt is present in an amount of from 0.01 to 5 percent by weight based on the total composition.

A trioxane copolymer is manufactured by adding to trioxane and a co-monomer, 0.0001 to 2.0 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the monomers, of one or more sterically hindered phenols, then co-polymerizing the resultant mixture in the presence of a cation-active catalyst, and then treating the resultant copolymer by heating it at a temperature which is higher than the melting point of the copolymer to melt the copolymer and decompose and remove unstable parts of the copolymer.

Method for manufacturing trioxane copolymer

A thermoplastic resin composition comprises a crystalline thermoplastic resin, a reinforcing fiber, a flaky filler and polycarbonate and is suitable for molding.

Thermoplastic resin composition for molding

Polytetramethylene terephthalate is manufactured from terephthalic acid and 1,4-butanediol in two stages, a first stage comprising an esterification reaction employing an esterification catalyst and a second stage comprising a condensation-polymerization reaction. The esterification reaction is carried out in the presence of at least one acid amide compound, preferably selected from urea, a derivative thereof, mono- or poly-carboxylic acid amides having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, polyamides, phosphoric acid amides and sulfonic acid amides, whereby the production of tetrahydrofuran as a by-product is appreciably inhibited and the time required for the esterification reaction is reduced.

Process for manufacturing polytetramethylene terephthalate

A thermoplastic polyester composition comprising a thermoplastic polyester resin containing a moiety derived from an aromatic dibasic acid, as a predominant acid moiety and a hydantoin compound in an amount sufficient to substantially retard evolution of aromatic dibasic acid vapor during melt processing of the composition. A method of preventing mold deposits during a molding operation of a thermoplastic polyester resin containing an aromatic dibasic acid as a predominant acid moiety comprising the addition of 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of a hydantoin compound per 100 parts by weight of the polyester resin. The aromatic dibasic acid is preferably terephthalic acid and the thermoplastic polyester resin is preferably selected from the group of polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polytetramethylene terephthalate and blends thereof.

Thermoplastic polyester composition

A polyester composition comprises polyethylene terephthalate and 0.1 to 15 wt. %, based on the polyethylene terephthalate, of 2-methyl-1,3-propylene glycol dibenzoate. It may further contain up to 40 wt. % of filler and up to 60 wt. % of a reinforcing fiber.
