An apparatus (1) and method for drying polymer powders is described. The apparatus has an inlet (2) and an outlet (3) for the polymer powder, heat registers (5) installed in the interior space (4) and lines (7) for a heated gas (6a) for drying the polymer powder. The lines open into the interior space (4) and are connected to heat exchangers (9) for heating gas (6). The heat exchangers (9) are connected to a plant for the preparation of 1,2-dichloroethane (15) and/or for the preparation of vinyl chloride from 1,2-dichloroethane so that thermal energy from the plant can be utilized for heating the gas (6). The method comprises treatment of a polymer powder with a heated gas (6a) in the drying apparatus (1).

The present invention provides a method of producing a topping hanger comprising: (a) inspecting raw materials; (b) calculating a formula; (c) mixing uniformly; (d) dehumidifying the raw materials; (e) injection molding a colored mixed body: introducing the dehumidified raw materials into an injection molding machine at temperature 200-350° C., and the colored mixed body being produced by injecting molding after adjusting parameters of molds; (f) injection molding a transparent exterior body: a transparent PET and acrylics being formed of the transparent exterior body outside of the colored mixed body by injection molding at temperature 200-350° C.; and (g) packing the products. The transparent exterior body fully coats with the colored mixed body via injection molding, and this feature effectively enhances quality and visual effect, and chemical and color stability of the products, and reduces the cost. The present invention reduces damage during objects with colors contacting human.

A metallic polypropylene resin composition is provided herein. The metallic polypropylene resin composition provides appearance characteristics that are similar to those provided by painting, but without painting. The metallic polypropylene resin composition of the present invention has excellent physical properties such as scratch resistance, and thus may be applied to molding methods, such as a molded in color (MIC) method. The resin composition is useful as a material for automobile interior and exterior parts, as wells as electric and electronic products, which can be molded by the MIC method.
