The present disclosure relates to a fluoropolymer powder for additive manufacturing of fluoropolymers having an average particle size (d.sub.50) in a range from 20 to 100 micrometers, preferably 30 to 70 micrometers, more preferably from 30 to 65 micrometers, most preferably from 30 to 60 micrometers and an average particle size (d.sub.90) in a range from 60 to 120 micrometers, and a bulk density of at least 800 g/l and no greater than 2000 g/l when measured according to DIN EN ISO 60:2000-1. Also provided are uses of the powder, processes of making the powders, articles produced by using the powder and processes for additive manufacturing using the powder.

Provided is an electromagnetic wave suppression sheet that contains from 400 to 600 parts by weight of a metal magnetic powder having an oxidized coating film formed on a surface thereof, from 1 to 15 parts by weight of a chelating agent, and from 1 to 10 parts by weight of an anti-aging agent, per 100 parts by weight of chlorinated polyethylene.

The invention relates to a method to reduce or prevent agglomeration of particles of halogenated rubbers in aqueous media by LCST compounds as well as highly pure halogenated rubbers. The invention further relates to halogenated elastomer products comprising the same or derived therefrom.

The invention relates to the field of foaming technology, in particular to CO8G101/00. A method for preparing chlorinated polyethylene materials by supercritical foaming includes the following steps: (1) Add the chlorinated polyethylene material into the reactor, add water and foaming nucleating agent, and then close the reactor cover; (2) Heat to 50-80 degrees C.; (3) Inject supercritical carbon dioxide into the reactor, so that the chlorinated polyethylene material can achieve saturation adsorption of supercritical carbon dioxide; (4) Remove and treat the chlorinated polyethylene material at 100-150 degrees C. for 1-5 minutes. The preparation method is simple, environmentally friendly, efficient and low-cost, uniform micropores improve the elasticity of the foam material and reduce the density of the foam material, which is 0.2-0.3 g/cm3, and the foam wall is thin.

A cured elastomer comprising: an elastomer at 100 parts per hundred rubber (phr); and an expandable thermoplastic microsphere at about 0.1 to about 10 phr. Such a cured elastomer can be used, optionally with additives, in an air barrier article that is selected from the group consisting of a tire innerliner, a pneumatic tire, a tire curing bladder, an air sleeves, a diaphragm, and a hose. With microspheres the compounded cured elastomer shows a reduction in specific gravity and a reduction in permeability. Both of these properties are highly desirable in tire design and performance.

Provided is an electromagnetic wave suppression sheet that contains from 400 to 600 parts by weight of a metal magnetic powder having an oxidized coating film formed on a surface thereof, from 1 to 15 parts by weight of a chelating agent, and from 1 to 10 parts by weight of an anti-aging agent, per 100 parts by weight of chlorinated polyethylene.

A method for producing a clay/polymer composite may include choosing an intercalating agent from among organic constituents of a polymer matrix, forming a polymer-compatible organoclay by mixing and milling an intercalating agent with a clay, and adding a polymer-compatible organoclay to a polymer matrix.

The invention relates to a method to reduce or prevent agglomeration of particles of halogenated rubbers in aqueous media by LCST compounds as well as highly pure halogenated rubbers. The invention further relates to halogenated elastomer products comprising the same or derived therefrom.
