Filed: 2003-05-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication de joints d'étanchéité linéaires, thermoplastiques, sous forme courbe, permettant d'éviter tout plissement des surfaces plus fines du matériau du joint. Ledit procédé fait intervenir un insert support supportant les surfaces plus fines lors du processus de courbure, et permettant ainsi d'éviter la déformation des surfaces plus fines du joint. Ledit support est de préférence réalisé dans un matériau résistant aux températures supérieures à la température de déformation thermique employée pour imprimer une courbure au matériau du joint. Par ailleurs, ledit insert support conserve sa forme linéaire lorsqu'il est retiré de la presse de courbure, et peut donc être réutilisé. Le procédé de fabrication de joints thermoplastiques courbes est donc optimisé.

Filed: 1994-02-14
Abstract: Copolymers of polyaspartic acid which are suitable for the inhibition of scale deposition were obtained by reacting maleic acid, an additional polycarboxylic acid and ammonia in a stoichiometric excess, at 120-350°C, preferably 180-300°C, to provide copolymers of polysuccinimide. In a second embodiment, a polyamine was added to the reaction mix. These intermediate polysuccinimide copolymers could then be converted to the salts of copolymers of polyaspartic acid by hydrolysis with a hydroxide. Such copolymers are useful in preventing deposition of scale from water and find applications in treating water. Other applications include scale prevention additives for detergents. In addition, such copolymers inhibit dental tartar and plaque formation.
