US Patent:

40468496, Sep 6, 1977

Filed:

Jul 29, 1974

Appl. No.:

5/492965

Inventors:

Ray Clarence Lever - Fairfield CT
Edward Vincent Wilkus - Trumbull CT

Assignee:

General Electric Company - New York NY

International Classification:

B29F 310

US Classification:

264174

Abstract:

A method of compounding thermoplastic polymeric material and fillers, including additives and agents, and unique compounded products. The compounding method comprises mixing the thermoplastic polymeric material in particulate form with particulate filler, and in progressive sequence melting the surface portion of the thermoplastic particles, blending the filler with said molten surface portion of the thermoplastic particles and removing the resultant blended melt and filler from the surface of the thermoplastic particles. The mixing and melting, and the blending and removing, are continued until the filler is substantially assimilated into the polymeric material and the thermoplastic particles become substantially diminished by melting and blending, or the method can be carried further if desired. The compounded product thus prepared is characterized by a distinctive stratified consistency.

US Classification:

427117

Abstract:

A method of making a cable article which comprises a conductor that is at least partially insulated by a flexible composition, said method comprising forming a homogeneous, interdispersed polymer insulation composition by combining low density polyethylene polymer with a polychloroprene polymer and at least an amount of fibrous polytetrafluoroethylene that is effective to form an interdispersion of polymers and thereafter coating a conductor with said insulating composition.

International Classification:

C08K 900
C08K 902
C08L 2718

US Classification:

523204

Abstract:

This invention provides a method of dispersing a fluoroplastic in a polymer composition. The method comprises the steps of comminuting the fluoroplastic to a uniform dispersion, admixing with the fluoroplastic a finely divided solid adherent material that will coat at least a portion of said fluoroplastic to form a coated fluoroplastic and combining said coated fluoroplastic with a polymer using intensive mixing means.
