CONSTITUTION:Polyesters consisting of compounds of the formulaeI-IV (wherein l-n each are 0 or a positive integer provided tha...

The disclosure describes a method of making flaked metal powders having a narrow particle size distribution, a whiter color and a very high sparkle effect. A heterogeneous liquid system comprising an inert liquid and a lubricant and including a finely divided metal is subjected to attrition in an enclosure in which there are a plurality of attritive elements. An agitator is moved through the eleme...

A WOUND TYRE A tyre consisting of an air tight internal panel (1), carcass (2), wire cap (10), hump strip (9), belt (5), tread (6), shoulder portion (7), wire core (11) and lateral portion (8), whereby a combined prefabricated air-tight panel (1) with carcass fabric (2) in special rubber mixture encircles at least twice and on which is at least a double encircling coil (5) with textile treads cros...

Two gas-permeable walls (39 and 40), which bound a circular filter bed (38), are disposed in a housing (33). The walls (39 and 40) extend downwards in a taper together and are inclined upwards towards the central axis (A) of the filter bed (38) so that the filter bed (38) on the one hand represents a ring becoming narrower upwards and on the other hand decreases in thickness (b) downwards. Project...

An internal spline of a hollow shaft containing a hydrostatic motor receives an external spline of a sleeve extending from a planetary carrier being part of a two-stage planetary gear transmission for imparting rotation on a hub being journalled on the shaft. An annular disk with radially inwardly directed teeth has been slipped onto the external spline, with play between it and the carrier; after...

A lightweight preformed stable gel composition formed by admixing a gel mixture of silicon gels and catalyst with glass microspheres, pouring the mixture into a mold and reacting the mixture. The resulting composition is a preformed stable silicon gel with glass microspheres dispersed throughout.

A process for the continuous agglomeration of granular tetrafluoroethylene polymer powders which cannot be processed from the melt to give molding powders having a high bulk density, an improved powder flow and particle stability and a narrow particle size distribution is described. In this process, the powder to be agglomerated is first introduced uniformly into a pretreatment stage and is disper...

A fast molding foamable composition comprising a terpolymer of ethylene, 10 to 40 percent by weight of a softening monomer and 1.0 to 20 percent by weight carbon monoxide, a free radical crosslinking agent and a chemical blowing agent.

Preparing a loaded polymer latex composition by mixing a polymer particle dispersed in an aqueous polymer latex, a hydrophobic substance, a water-miscible organic solvent and a water-immiscible organic solvent thus loading the polymer particle with the hydrophobic substance. With this process no dispersing apparatus with high energy is required. The composition is not subject to change in properti...

Disclosed is a self-extinguishing polystyrenic composition comprising a polystyrenic resin, a fire-re-tardant amount of a halogenated organic fire-retardant agent and a nitrogen-containing organic compound selected from the group consisting of amines, amides and ammonium compounds containing from 20 to 40 carbon atoms and their mixtures, said nitrogen-containing compound being used in an amount va...

of the disclosure: The flameproof styrene polymer foam in accordance with this invention is obtained by melting a granular mixture of styrene polymer and aluminum hydroxide having grain size of 20-100 .mu.m and a specific surface of below 1 m2/g in an extruder, incorporating a physical expanding agent, and homogenizing and extruding the mixture.

Aromatic polyamide film, having an excellent thermal resistance and a high dielectric breakdown strength, which comprises an aromatic polyamide containing repeating units of the formula ¢ NH - Ar1 - CO ! or ¢ NH - Ar1 -NHCO - Ar2 - CO ! and cross-linked with a cross-linking compound having at least one radical selected from R1 - C(R2) = C(R3) - CH2 - , R1 - C(R2) = CR3 - , R1 C(R2) = C(R3) - COO -...

During intermittent operation of a motor vehicle, acceleration phases with engine drive and undriven rolling alternate with one another. In the clutch device according to the invention, the clutch (1) is disengaged automatically with the aid of a cylinder/piston unit (6, 6a) when a gas pedal (12) is released, or is automatically engaged when the gas pedal is again depressed. Thus, an undriven roll...
