Abstract
Abstract A process for the production of an elastomer treated thermoplastic polymer in a pourable powder form consisting essentially of adding an aqueous elastomeric resin dispersion to a thermoplastic polymer powder, mixing the two components under high sheer agitation at below the gelling temperature of said thermoplastic powder for a time sufficient to obtain a homogeneous distribution of the elastomeric resin on said thermoplastic powder and recovering said elastomer treated thermoplastic polymer in a pourable powder form.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF AN ELASTOMER TREATED THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER IN A POURABLE POWDER FORM CONISTING ESSENTIALLY OF ADDING A MAXIMUM OF 50 PARTS OF AN AQUEOUS ELASTOMERIC ETHYLENE/VINYL ACETATE COPOLYMER DISPERSION TO 100 PARTS OF A THEROMPLASTIC POLYMER POWDER IN SUCH AN AMOUNT THAT NOT MORE THAN 25 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF WATER IN SAID AQUEOUS DISPERSION ARE PRESENT PER 100 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF SAID THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER POWDER, MIXING THE TWO COMPONENTS UNDER HIGH SHEER AGITATION AT AGITATION SPEEDS OF FROM 1,000 TO 3,000 RPM, AT BELOW THE GELLING TEMPERATURE OF SAID THERMOPLASTIC POWDER FOR A TIME SUFFICIENT TO OBTAIN A HOMOGENEOUS DISTRIBUTION OF THE ELASTOMERIC RESIN ON SAID THERMOPLASTIC POWDER AND TO OBTAIN A SUBSTANTIALLY ANHYDROUS POWDER, AND RECOVERING SAID ELASTOMER TREATED THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER IN A POURABLE POWDER FORM.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
