Abstract
Resins for improved flow in injection molding, molded articles made from the same, and methods of using the same. A molded article formed from a polymer feed includes nylon-6,6. The molded article also includes a thin elongated profile including a thickness of up to 1.5 mm and a flow length of at least 25 cm. An absolute value of ARV of the molded article as compared to the polymer feed is from 0 to 5, the RV determined according to ASTM D789.
Claims28
A molded article formed from a polymer feed, the molded article comprising:
- nylon-6,6;
- and
- a section having a thin elongated profile comprising
- a thickness of up to 1.5 mm, and
- a flow length of at least 25 cm;
- wherein an absolute value of ΔRV of the molded article as compared to the polymer feed is from 0 to 5, the RV determined according to ASTM D789.
A method for making a molded article comprising:
- flowing a polymer feed to a mold;
- regulating the mold temperature via heat exchange with water at inlet temperature of water to the mold below 100° C.;
- and
- recovering a molded article from the mold, wherein an absolute value of ΔRV of the molded article as compared to the polymer feed is from 0 to 5, the RV determined according to ASTM D789;
- wherein the molded article comprises
- nylon-6,6, and
- a section having a thin elongated profile comprising
- a thickness of up to 1.5 mm, and
- a flow length of at least 25 cm.
A polyamide resin comprising:
- from 90 to 99.9 wt. % polyamide condensation product of diacid and diamine;
- from 3 to 200 ppmw phosphorus, present as an oxyphosphorus compound;
- and
- from 800 to 3000 ppmw acetic acid end groups on the polyamide;
- wherein the polyamide resin has amine end groups (AEG)≤N milliequivalents per kg (meq/kg) of the polyamide resin, where N is selected from integers from 40 to 50, inclusive.
A polyamide resin comprising:
- from 90 to 99.9 wt. % polyamide condensation product of diacid and diamine;
- from 3 to 200 ppmw phosphorus, present as an oxyphosphorus compound;
- and
- from 800 to 3000 ppmw acetic acid end groups on the polyamide;
- wherein the polyamide resin has a RV from 26 to 42, the RV determined according to ASTM D789.
