Abstract
Abstract Fully cured, intact, solid castings of bis(allyl carbonate) resin, e.g., diethylene glycol bis(allyl carbonate), are prepared by polymerizing the resin with between about 0.75 and about 1.50 parts, per hundred parts of resin, of a monoperoxycarbonate, e.g., tertiarybutylperoxy isopropyl carbonate. An adhesion reducing amount, e.g., between about 25 and about 75 parts, per million parts of resin, of a mold release agent is incorporated into the liquid resin monomer to avoid cracking of the casting. Use of a mold release agent is not required when the resin is prepolymerized to about 15-50 percent allylic utilization.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
In the method of polymerizing polyol(allyl carbonate) monomer represented by the graphic formula, ##STR15## wherein R o is hydrogen, halogen or C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and n is a whole number from 1 to 3, wherein the monomer is mixed with peroxide initiator and the resultant mixture exposed to a thermal zone to polymerize the monomer, the improvement which comprises polymerizing a mixture of said monomer and an adhesion reducing amount of monomer-compatible mold release agent with, as the sole initiator, from about 0.75 to about 1.50 parts, per hundred parts of monomer, of monoperoxycarbonate represented by the graphic formula, ##STR16## wherein R 1 is a tertiary C 4 -C 5 alkyl and R 2 is a C 3 -C 7 alkyl, thereby to form a fully cured, intact solid article having a fifteen second Barcol hardness of at least 20, the mold release agent being such as to not adversely affect the physical properties of the solid article.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
160 words
In the method of polymerizing polyol(allyl carbonate) monomer represented by the graphic formula, ##STR15## wherein R o is hydrogen, halogen or C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and n is a whole number from 1 to 3, wherein the monomer is mixed with peroxide initiator and the resultant mixture exposed to a thermal zone to polymerize the monomer, the improvement which comprises polymerizing a mixture of said monomer and an adhesion reducing amount of monomer-compatible mold release agent with, as the sole initiator, from about 0.75 to about 1.50 parts, per hundred parts of monomer, of monoperoxycarbonate represented by the graphic formula, ##STR16## wherein R 1 is a tertiary C 4 -C 5 alkyl and R 2 is a C 3 -C 7 alkyl, thereby to form a fully cured, intact solid article having a fifteen second Barcol hardness of at least 20, the mold release agent being such as to not adversely affect the physical properties of the solid article.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the polyol bis(allyl carbonate) is diethylene glycol bis(allyl carbonate) and the monoperoxycarbonate is tertiarybutylperoxy isopropyl carbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein from 10 to 100 ppm of mold release agent is used with the polyol bis(allyl carbonate).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 2 wherein from 20 to 75 ppm of mold release agent is used with the polyol bis(allyl carbonate).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 4 wherein the mold release agent is a monoalkyl phosphate, dialkylphosphate or mixture of such phosphates.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 5 wherein the fully cured resin has a 15 second Barcol hardness of at least 23.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 6 wherein the fully cured resin has a yellowness index of less than 2.0 for a 1/4 inch thick sheet.
