Assignee:

Polyone Corporation - Avon Lake OH

International Classification:

B32B027/08
B32B027/28
B32B027/30
B32B027/32
B32B027/36

US Classification:

428212, 428213, 428215, 428216, 428412, 428483, 428480, 428521

Abstract:

A composite layered plastic article particularly resistant to outdoor exposure to heat, sunlight and UV degradation comprises a top surface exposed layer of PETG fused to a rigid substrate layer selected from PVC, or CPVC, or HIPS, or ABS, or ASA, or PC. The PETG layer is preferably co-extruded with the substrate layer and heat fused together to produce a laminated layered composite article. The composite layered plastic is particularly useful for color retention of dark colors and bright masstone colors, as well as pastel and white colors.

International Classification:

C08L 7500

US Classification:

524507

Abstract:

Thermoplastic molding compositions and articles comprise immiscible thermoplastic polymer components and reinforcing fibers. The immiscible thermoplastic polymer components and the fibers are blended together under high shear conditions. The molding composition generally contains at least two phases and has an extremely smooth and fiber-free surface. Generally, very good physical properties are obtained such as high impact resistance, high heat distortion temperatures, high tensile modulus, high flex modulus, and the like. A desired blend of thermoplastic components is thermoplastic polyurethane and polyethyleneterephthalate with glass fibers.

International Classification:

B32B 1508

US Classification:

428463

Abstract:

Compositions, composite articles and process for producing same are provided from a reinforced polyvinyl halide composition (A) comprising a high molecular weight polyvinyl halide resin, a plasticizer, and a reinforcement material, such as glass fibers, in combination with (B) a composition having adhesion to (A). Preferably (B) comprises a thermoplastic compound selected from the group consisting of PVC, plasticized PVC, styrene derivatives, urethane derivatives, acrylic derivatives, acrylonitrile derivatives, polyester derivatives, and mixtures thereof, with the most preferred composition being an unreinforced, plasticized polyvinyl halide composition. The composite article exhibits good strength, low sag at high use temperatures, and lowered coefficient of thermal expansion for use in contact with metal or polymeric substrates such as panels. The composite having a coefficient of thermal expansion not significantly different than the substrates in contact therewith, provides enhanced permanence of adhesion and sag resistance.

James W. Summers - Bay Village OH

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

B28B 2154

US Classification:

264177R

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for processing extruded thermoplastic material for use in siding by advancing the extrudate from the die member through a series of baths which size and shape the extrudate. The process sizes and cools the extrudate, and, thence, heat treats the extrudate followed by a final quenching of the extrudate in its final shape and size.

Appl. No.:

5/749939

Inventors:

James William Summers - Bay Village OH
George Joseph Kliner - Avon Lake OH

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

B32B 2708
B44D 144

US Classification:

428334

Abstract:

Improved weather resistant products such as building siding, shutters, roof vents and the like, are made by coextruding or laminating a plasticized vinyl chloride capstock with a substrate of rigid vinyl chloride polymers, chlorinated vinyl chloride polymers, or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymers. The resulting composites are much improved over rigid PVC, chlorinated PVC, or ABS articles alone for retention of appearance and retention of impact on aging.

International Classification:

B32B 300
E04C 100

US Classification:

428156

Abstract:

The invention relates to a vinyl halide polymer composition suitable for outdoor use in the sunlight. The change in color as measured by. DELTA. E in articles made from the polymeric composition is found to be substantially lower than other compositions. The lower. DELTA. E provides a measurement for improved weatherability of the compositions in such applications as housing siding, window profiles, shutters and roof vents.
