Abstract

Abstract An improved method for injection molding of non-precatalyzed resins in which the catalyst and resin flows are injected in a mixing chamber co-current with one another angled toward the ejectment end of the mixing chamber, The resin flow is injected closer to the ejectment end of the mixing chamber than is the catalyst flow.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 175 words
In a process for the injection molding of at least one non-precatalyzed, polymerizable monocomponent or hybrid resin at high pressure and flow which comprises the steps of: a) providing a mixing head comprising a cylindrical mixing chamber having a closed end and an ejectment end, and a self-cleaning molding piston; b) withdrawing from a storage tank at least one flow comprising a non-precatalyzed polymerizable monocomponent or hybrid resin; c) withdrawing from a storage tank at least one flow comprising at least one catalyst; d) injecting each flow at high pressure into the mixing chamber through at least one catalyst injection nozzle and at least one resin injection nozzle; e) discharging the resulting polymer from the mixing chamber with the self-cleaning molding piston; wherein the improvement comprises: (i) positioning the resin nozzles disposed closer to the ejectment end than the catalyst injection nozzles; (ii) injecting the catalyst through the catalyst injection nozzles angled towards the ejectment end; and (iii) injecting the resin through the resin injection nozzles angled towards the ejectment end of the mixing chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 175 words
In a process for the injection molding of at least one non-precatalyzed, polymerizable monocomponent or hybrid resin at high pressure and flow which comprises the steps of: a) providing a mixing head comprising a cylindrical mixing chamber having a closed end and an ejectment end, and a self-cleaning molding piston; b) withdrawing from a storage tank at least one flow comprising a non-precatalyzed polymerizable monocomponent or hybrid resin; c) withdrawing from a storage tank at least one flow comprising at least one catalyst; d) injecting each flow at high pressure into the mixing chamber through at least one catalyst injection nozzle and at least one resin injection nozzle; e) discharging the resulting polymer from the mixing chamber with the self-cleaning molding piston; wherein the improvement comprises: (i) positioning the resin nozzles disposed closer to the ejectment end than the catalyst injection nozzles; (ii) injecting the catalyst through the catalyst injection nozzles angled towards the ejectment end; and (iii) injecting the resin through the resin injection nozzles angled towards the ejectment end of the mixing chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 70 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the mixing chamber further comprises: at least one recycling outlet aligned longitudinally with an injection nozzle; and the self-cleaning molding piston further comprises at least one cutaway longitudinally aligned with an injection nozzle and the recycling outlet whereby a flow from the ejectment nozzle passes from the injection nozzle to the recycling outlet via the cutaway when the piston is in the ejectment position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
The process of claim 2 wherein each injection nozzle has a corresponding recycling outlet and piston cutaway.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the mixing chamber comprises two resin injection nozzles and one catalyst injection nozzle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 18 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the three injection nozzles are arranged about 120° apart from each other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the mixing chamber comprises two resin injection nozzles and two catalyst injection nozzles.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 39 words
The process of claim 6 wherein the four injection nozzles are arranged about 90° from one another, and the two resin injection nozzles are opposed from one another and the two catalyst injection nozzles are opposed from one another.
