Abstract

Abstract A process for the manufacture of shaped articles from compositions containing 30 to 70% by weight of polyolefine which is a high density polyethylene modified with polar monomers and 30 to 70% by weight of cellulosic fibres. These compositions are malaxated at a temperature at least 20° C. above the melting point of the polyolefine. The process is applicable to the manufacture of panels which can be used in the automobile industry.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 76 words
Process for manufacture of a shaped article from a polyolefine composition comprising between 30 and 70% by weight of a polyolefine which is a high density polyethylene modified by means of a polar monomer and between 30 and 70% by weight of cellulosic fibres, comprising: subjecting the polyolefine composition to a malaxating operation carried out at a temperature which is at least 40° C. above the melting point of the polyolefine, before the composition is moulded.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 76 words
Process for manufacture of a shaped article from a polyolefine composition comprising between 30 and 70% by weight of a polyolefine which is a high density polyethylene modified by means of a polar monomer and between 30 and 70% by weight of cellulosic fibres, comprising: subjecting the polyolefine composition to a malaxating operation carried out at a temperature which is at least 40° C. above the melting point of the polyolefine, before the composition is moulded.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
Process according to claim 1 wherein the polyolefine is a modified high density polyethylene having a melt index of between 0.5 and 10 g/10 min.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
Process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the polyolefine is a polyolefine modified by means of maleic anhydride.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
Process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the polyolefine is a polyolefine modified by grafting by means of polar monomers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
Process according to claim 4, wherein the polyolefine composition is prepared by directly mixing the unmodified polyolefine, the polar monomer and the cellulosic fibres.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 16 words
Process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the polyolefine composition is moulded directly after malaxating.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 15 words
Process according to claim 6, wherein the polyolefine composition is moulded into panels by calendering.
