Fig. 8 Reaction time by acid number. (1) Heated to 380°F in ly hr held at 380°F for 2 hr, lowered to 360 F, and held for properties. (2) Heated to 360 F in 1 hr and held for properties. Resin 3823 NT is similar to 3712 NT but contains TMA (244 gm), neopentyl glycol (352 gm), adipic acid (123 gm), tall oil fatty acids (362 gm). It is processed in a manner similar to resin 3712 NT.

The viscosity versus shear rate data for PS was obtained from three different manufacturers (1) J.P. Whelan, Amoco Chemicals Corporation, Naperville, Illinois. (2) Dow Chemicals, Midland Michigan, (3) H.A. Biletech, LTDC, Polysar Inc., Massachusetts. These data [33,51,52] along with those obtained from a research paper [53] were unified [30] to form the master rheogram as shown in Fig. 4.16. A total of 112 data points were used over a very broad range of shear rate (Ihble B1 of. ipendix B). 

Amoco Amoco Chemicals Company, a subsidiary of Amoco Corporation, formerly Standard Oil Company (IN), is best known in the chemicals industry for its modification of the Mid-Century process for making pure terephthalic acid. /7-Xylene in acetic acid solution is oxidized with air at high temperature and pressure. Small amounts of manganese, cobalt, and bromide are used as catalysts. The modification allows the use of terephthalic acid, rather than dimethyl terephthalate, for making fiber. The process can also be used for oxidizing other methylbenzenes and methylnaphthalenes to aromatic carboxylic acids. See also Maruzen.

There are three commercial suppHers that manufacture polysulfones Amoco Corporation ia the United States, BASF Corporation ia Germany, and Sumitomo Chemical Company ia Japan. A listing of the resias suppHed by each of these companies along with the trade names particular to each of these suppHers is shown ia Table 9. AH three companies supply a polyethersulfone-type product. Polysulfone, on the other hand, is suppHed by Amoco and BASF, and Amoco is the sole suppHer of polyphenylsulfone.
