A fire-resistant material according to an example of the present disclosure includes a base material and at least one of a siloxane polymer and a phosphonate polymer. A method of making a fire-resistant material is also disclosed.

A method to produce a container made of a plastic composition having an inner coating with a higher mechanical stability and/or a better adhesion to the container, includes preparing a plastic composition with at least one base polymer material and at least a first additive comprising globe-like particles having a hardness on the Mohs scale of at least 4, and extrusion blow molding of a container. The globe-like particles, which located on the inner surface of the container, increase the surface area and the hardness of the inner surface of the container. The method also includes applying the at least one metal layer of the inner coating onto the inner surface of the container, wherein the applied metal layer bonds to the globe-like particles of the first additive located on the inner surface of the container.

Disclosed is an apparatus. The apparatus includes a reel, a carrier tape wrapped about the reel and a cover tape disposed over the carrier tape. The cover tape and the carrier tape are configured to contain a plurality of electronic components, e.g., integrated circuits. At least one of the carrier tape and the cover tape is made of desiccant entrained polymer, or has desiccant entrained polymer provided on it.

A fire-resistant material according to an example of the present disclosure includes a base material and at least one of a siloxane polymer and a phosphonate polymer. A method of making a fire-resistant material is also disclosed.

A polycarbonate resin composition containing: a polycarbonate resin; glass fibers subjected to a surface treatment with a sizing agent; and an elastomer, where the glass fibers have a mass-average fiber diameter of 4 to 15 m and a mass-average fiber length of 100 to 250 m, the elastomer is a dimethyl polysiloxane rubber onto which an acrylic resin is grafted, the mass ratio between the polycarbonate resin and the glass fibers (the polycarbonate resin:the glass fibers) is 80 to 95:5 to 20, and the mass ratio between the elastomer and the glass fibers (the elastomer/the glass fibers) is 0.10 to 0.30.

A process to make a friable bale, and a friable bale formed from the same, wherein the friable bale is formed from a composition comprising coated polymer particles, which comprise polymer particles formed from a polymer composition comprising an olefin-based polymer, and a coating formed from a coating composition comprising an aqueous metal acid dispersion, and an aqueous polysiloxane emulsion, and wherein the friable bale has a compression force ?1.00 MPa.

Described herein is a composition which is suitable for coating components in an in-mold coating process, a process for coating components, and a method of using the composition for improving the flow behavior of compositions used for producing components. The composition includes at least one solvent L, at least one alkoxylated fatty acid and/or fatty alcohol, and at least one alkoxylated polysiloxane.

Provided is a single material plastic push-through blister pack for food and pharmaceutical packaging and a method of making thereof. The blister package may be produced by thermoforming polymer films for the cavity and a cavitated polymer film made from the same class of polymer comparatively lower thickness for the substrate or lid. To facilitate the push through breaking, the polymer film used as the lidding film may be modified to a microcavitated film by creating micro-voids/cavities and micro-brittleness within the polymer matrix. These micro-voids/cavities, and/or embedded microcrystalline particles present in the polymer matrix of the lidding film, may create internal cracks in the film by application of a small external force, which may then result in rupturing of the lid film to dispense a product from the cavity of the blister pack.
