Appl. No.:

11/934649

Inventors:

Peter Prusak - Cleveland OH, US
Thomas M. Majewski - Parma OH, US

Assignee:

PolyOne Corporation - Avon Lake OH

International Classification:

C08J 3/20

B60C 1/00

US Classification:

524570, 523206, 523351, 524 35, 524581

Abstract:

Color concentrates for thermoplastic biofiber composites are disclosed. The concentrates employ three factors to achieve concentrated delivery of color to the processing machine and excellent and substantially uniform dispersion of color in the processing machine: melt flow of the concentrate exceeding at least 4 g/10 min. using ASTM D-1238; pellet size of the concentrate such that at least 50 pellets weigh less than one gram; and weight percent of the colorant ingredients in the concentrate exceeding at least 30 weight percent.

Assignee:

Polyone Corporation - Avon Lake OH

International Classification:

C08K 9/10

US Classification:

523210, 523351, 524 13, 524 14

Abstract:

Coated colored biofiber for thermoplastic articles is disclosed. The coating on the biofiber comprises film-forming polymeric binder, surfactant, and colorant. The colorant can be one or more pigments, one or more dyes, or combinations thereof. The coated colored biofiber can be used in thermoplastic compounds to simulate the appearance of natural wood while adding durability.

Appl. No.:

13/981288

Inventors:

Thomas Majewski - Parma OH, US
Hari Rajaraman - Hudson OH, US

Assignee:

PolyOne Corporation - Avon Lake OH

International Classification:

C08L 23/06

US Classification:

521134, 524423, 524 91, 524315, 524151, 523122

Abstract:

A low gloss capstock compound is disclosed. The combination of gloss inhibiting agents and polyolefin elastomer added to conventional polyethylene polymer resin achieves a gloss angle at 85 of below 10 GU. Optionally, the compound can also include weathering agents to improve outdoor durability. The compound can be fully formulated or a masterbatch for let-down into polymer to form the fully formulated compound.
