Dried blend resin

Vinyl chloride is polymerized in bulk or aqueous suspension to yield a dry-blend resin of porous particle surface. In aqueous emulsion it... 

Porosity is a desirable characteristic of the particles in many applications of poly(vinyl chloride). If the product is to be used as a dry-blend resin, it is required to soak up substantial quantities of liquid plasticizers and still remain free-flowing. The structure and porosity of PVC granules is affected strongly by the choice of organic suspending agents, which are different types of partially hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol). The required porosity is enhanced also by rapidly... 

The dried blend resin can either be injection or compression molded into articles with specifically tailored thermal and mechanical properties that lie between the respective properties of the pure PBI and PEKK from which the blend was produced. These blends can be used to enhance films, composites, or alloys. Further, these blends can be reinforced or filled prior to molding to produce unique blended products such as T-series products marketed by PBI Performance Products Inc.

Coloring and Decorating. Commercial pigments that are thermally stable at the resin processing temperature maybe used. Pigments maybe dry-blended with the resin, or ETFE pellets may be blended with color concentrates, which are available ia pellet form. 

Pigment used for dry blending is dried overnight at 150°C in a vacuum oven to remove absorbed gases and moisture. It is screened through a 149-p.m (100-mesh) screen directly onto the cubes, which are roUed or tumbled for at least 15 min. The pigmented resin is stored in an airtight container to prevent absorption of moisture. 

Segments. Segments for heavy-duty use such as for medium-sized tmcks ate produced by a dry-mix process. The fiber, modifiers, and a dry novolak resin are mixed in an appropriate mixer. The blend is then formed into about a 60 by 90 cm preform (or briquet) at 3—4 MPa (400—600 psi). The briquets are hot-pressed for 3—10 min at 140—160°C and then cooled. The resin is only partially cured at this point to be thermoplastic when subsequently reheated for bending. The hot-pressed preforms are then cut to desired size and bent at 170—190°C and cured in curved molds for 4—8 h at 220—280°C. Final grinding produces the finished segments. 

The lignins were separately mixed with PF resin (dry blending) at 30% and 50% levels prior to application as a binder. The formation and testing (9) of the waferboards (30 cm x 30 cm) were done by the Alberta Research Council Panel Testing Laboratory. 

Polyethylene is translucent to opaque white in thick sections, opacity increasing with density. Relatively clear film can be extruded from polyethylene, especially if it is quenched rapidly. The plastic accepts pigmentation readily. Most coloring is performed using dry-blend techniques. Color dispersion devices are required to ensure thorough mixing of resin and pigment. 

Reactive powdered resins and curing agents can be combined by dry blending. These powder blends can then be preformed into various shapes by dry compression pressing. 

Epoxy-nylon film adhesive can be manufactured by solution casting processes. However, a more efficient and environmentally acceptable method is to calender dry blends of powdered nylon with a bquid epoxy resin with accelerators and other modifying resins directly... 

The plasticized product can be produced by mixing the polymer and plasticizers at elevated temperatures, also by dry blending in which the plasticizer is absorbed into the resin and then heated. Solution blending is sometimes used, as well as the plastisol process, in which fine polyvinylchloride powder is dispersed in the plasticizer which is relatively stable until it is heated. 

The methods whereby titania pigments are incorporated into plastic matrices are diverse. Multiple options exist for the plastics processor, including solid concentrates, direct end-use pigmentation, simple dry blends, or the use of liquid colorants. A simplified breakdown of how major resin categories are pigmented is shown in Table 10.1. 

Titanium dioxide pigments are compounded into the remaining miscellaneous category of resins by many different means, including solid concentrates, dry blends, and liquid concentrates. 

The exit moisture eontent from the dryer depends on whether dry blending is used. If the resin is added at the blowline, then the moisture after the dryer is that required in the press, typically 9-13%. If resin is added after the dryer then the moisture leaving the dryer will be lower, so that the water added with the resin will raise the total moisture to that required in the press.
