Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a process for the preparation of suspensions of at least one polymer, said process comprising as a first step the preparation of a first suspension of at least one polymer in an organic liquid by chilling a solution of said polymer. In accordance with the invention, there is added to the first polymer suspension in a second step a powder of at least one polymer, which may be the same as or different from the first. Use of said process in the production of two-layer composites formed of an aluminum sheet and a polymer layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A process for the preparation of stable suspensions with higher concentrations of solid polymer particles, comprising preparing a first suspension of at least one polymer in an organic liquid by chilling a solution of said polymer, and then adding a powder of at least one polymer, which may be the same as or different from the first polymer, to said first polymer suspension to achieve a stable final suspension having a concentration greater than would normally be achieved by the first step alone and also greater than normally could be achieved by direct suspension of said powder in said organic liquid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A process for the preparation of stable suspensions with higher concentrations of solid polymer particles, comprising preparing a first suspension of at least one polymer in an organic liquid by chilling a solution of said polymer, and then adding a powder of at least one polymer, which may be the same as or different from the first polymer, to said first polymer suspension to achieve a stable final suspension having a concentration greater than would normally be achieved by the first step alone and also greater than normally could be achieved by direct suspension of said powder in said organic liquid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the amount of polymer added in the second step is such that the final concentration of the suspension ranges from 10 to 25 weight percent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the particle size of said polymer powder ranges from 5 to 80 microns.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process according to claim 2, wherein the particle size of said polymer powder ranges from 5 to 80 microns.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
A process according to one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the polymer used in the first and the polymer used in the second step are the same, said polymer being a graft copolymer obtained by polymerization of ethylene and grafting with acrylic acid.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
A process according to one of claims 1 to 4, wherein a mixture of the polymers are used in the first step and the same mixture of polymers are used in the second step, said mixture consisting of a low-density polyethylene and a graft copolymer obtained by polymerization of ethylene and grafting with acrylic acid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
41 words
A process according to one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the polymers used in the first and second steps are the same, being two graft copolymers obtained by polymerization of ethylene and propylene, respectively, and by grafting with acrylic acid.
