Abstract From the Canadian patent

In a two-step precondensate process for preparing polyamides diamines are reacted with dicarboxylic acid dihalides in a polar non-basic, inert organic , liquid medium under conditions such that a condensation product having a low degree of polymerization is formed. The resulting condensation then is contacted with an aqueous solution of a water-soluble acid acceptor by continuously feeding the components into a reactor system having a total residence time from about 2 seconds to about 2 minutes and having a Peclet , number greater than about 3.5 to form a polyamide product having a high degree of polymerization.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 12, 2004 and granted January 17, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 12, 2024.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 12, 2026.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
