A new company has been formed to buy and capitalize on polymer production technology developed by General Electric Co. Cyclics Corp. of Schenectady, N.Y., bought nearly 50 GE patents for cyclic raw materials for polycarbonate, polyarylate and polybutylene terephthalate production. The raw materials, with waterlike viscosity, process like thermosets but end up as thermoplastics.
Cyclics President John Ciovacco said his firm probably will focus on pultrusion applications, since the raw materials easily accept high levels of glass-fiber reinforcement. Their high reaction temperature -- 400[degree sign] F or above -- should not be a drawback in pultrusion systems. The raw materials are oligomers with a cyclic structure containing two or more monomers. An...
