Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing a filler-fortified polyalkyleneterphthalate molding composition which comprises mixing a filler with a precondensate of poly-(1,4-butylene)-terephthalate and/or poly-(1,3-propylene)-terephthalate, forming the resultant mixture into a shape and thereafter polymerizing the precondensate by solid-phase condensation under solid-phase condensation conditions; a molding composition prepared by such a process comprising poly-(1,4-butylene)-terephthalate and/or poly-(1,3-propylene)-terephthalate in an amount of 20 to 98 weight percent and 2 to 80 weight percent of a fortifying filler, the amounts based upon the combined amount of polyester and fortifying filler; a shaped object prepared from molding such a molding composition and the process for molding such a molding composition into a molded shaped article.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
52 words
A process for preparing a filler-fortified polyalkyleneterephthalate molding composition which comprises mixing a filler with a precondensate having a viscosity number of from 40 to 160 cm 3 /g of poly-(1,4-butylene)-terephthalate and/or poly-(1,3-propylene)-terephthalate, forming the resultant mixture into a shape and thereafter polymerizing the precondensate by solid-phase condensation under solid-phase condensation conditions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
52 words
A process for preparing a filler-fortified polyalkyleneterephthalate molding composition which comprises mixing a filler with a precondensate having a viscosity number of from 40 to 160 cm 3 /g of poly-(1,4-butylene)-terephthalate and/or poly-(1,3-propylene)-terephthalate, forming the resultant mixture into a shape and thereafter polymerizing the precondensate by solid-phase condensation under solid-phase condensation conditions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein 2 to 80 weight percent filler is mixed with precondensate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein 10 to 50 weight percent is mixed with precondensate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein said filler is a glass fiber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein into said mixture of filler and precondensate there is added another additive.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the precondensate and filler are mixed in the melt.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein mixing of said precondensate and filler is performed in a screw mixing or strand pressing unit.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein after the precondensate - filler mixture is formed into a shape it is granulated.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
21 words
