Abstract
The invention relates to the use of at least one catalyst, at least one copper heat stabiliser and at least one oligo- or poly-carbodiimide with a matrix including at least one polyamide, in order to form a composition that has a good melt viscosity and is stable during transformation, in particular during extrusion.
Claims8
A method for forming a composition which exhibits a good melt viscosity and which is stable during transformation comprising the step of combining:
- about 50 ppm to about 5000 ppm of at least one catalyst,
- about 0.05% to about 1% of at least one copper-based heat stabilizer,
- and about 0.1% to about 3% of at least one oligo- or polycarbodiimide with a matrix comprising at least one polyamide;
- wherein said melt viscosity is from about 13,000 to about 23,000 Pas, as determined by oscillatory rheology at 270° C. at 10 rad/sec while flushing with nitrogen with 5% deformation and shearing of 10 sec-1 between two parallel plates with a diameter of 25 mm, and
- wherein said stable in transformation means that the melt viscosity does not change by more than 70% as a function of time between 1 minute and 30 minutes during a melt process,
- wherein the catalyst is chosen from phosphoric acid (H3PO4), phosphorous acid (H3PO3), hypophosphorous acid (H3PO2) or a mixture of these,
- wherein the copper-based heat stabilizer comprises copper iodide,
- wherein the polyamide is chosen from:
- PA 11, PA 12, 11/10.T, PA 10.10, PA 10.12.
