DEF

[Said of] acyclic or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated carbon compounds, excluding aromatic compounds.

OBS

aliphatic: This adjective was previously given different definitions. According to the "Dictionary of nutrition and food technology", by Arnold E. Benderit, in 1975, it was a "Name given to those organic chemicals that have open-chain structure in distinction to the alicyclic compounds, which contain rings of carbon compounds." According to "The Condensed Chemical Dictionary", by Gessner Goodrich Hawley, in 1981, it referred to "One of the major groups of organic compounds characterized by straight - or branched - chain arrangement of the constituent carbon atoms."

Engineers from G.W. Plastics Inc., Gethel, Vt., and Lexmark International, Lexington, Ky., Carilon aliphatic polyketone for gears in laser-printer tone cartridges.

CONT

Several original polymer families are to be launched at NPE. Perhaps the most impelling is aliphatic polyketone from Shell Chemical Co. [Stand S1323]. The products (tradename Carilon) are said to mold well, exhibiting superior mechanical and temperature-resistance performances and excellent part surface properties. They require no pre-drying. Material is viable in injection, blow and rotomolding, and pipe, sheet, and profile extrusion.

La famille des thermoplastiques techniques vient de s'agrandir. [...] La polycétone aliphatique [...] aurait hérité grosso modo, du caractère de deux de ses proches parents : le polyamide (PA) et le polyacétal (POM). Par sa tenue en température, la nouvelle résine tiendrait plutôt du polyamide. Tandis que sa bonne tenue à l'eau et sa «clipsabilité», c'est-à-dire à la fois sa résistance mécanique et son élasticité, lui prêteraient davantage les traits du polyacétal. [...] La polycétone aliphatique est un polymère à chaîne linéaire, dans laquelle alternent très régulièrement des molécules de monoxyde de carbone et d'éthylène. [...] Premiers secteurs d'application visés : l'automobile, l'électrotechnique et l'électroménager.
