Abstract: A method to make a hot-melt polymer formulation with from 50 wt % to 100 wt % of a propylene-co-butene-1-co-hexene-1 terpolymer or a propylene-co-hexene-1 copolymer, each polymer made using a metal chloride supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst, at a process temperature between about 130 degrees Fahrenheit and about 175 degrees Fahrenheit and at a reactor pressure sufficient to maintain the propylene in a liquid phase without solvent; using 1 wt % to 20 wt % of at least one of: a metallocene polymer; a homopolymer of propylene with 0.1%-5% functionality; and a styrene block copolymer; and wherein the terpolymer or copolymer formulation is controlled by addition of a hydrogen gas as a chain transfer agent.

Abstract: A process for reducing unreacted monomers and condensable and non-condensable hydrocarbon fractions in an APAO which includes introducing molten APAO into heated and insulated jacketed pipe while injecting a stripping agent based on the total weight of the contents of the jacketed pipe; maintaining the stripping agent with the molten APAO stream from ten seconds to ten minutes, forming a flowable heated mixture at 250 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit in the heated and jacketed pipe forming a flowing heated mixture; and passing the flowing heated mixture through a thin film evaporator assembly, while maintaining the temperature of the flowing heated mixture, stripping the organoleptic species and acids and volatile organic components from the flowing heated mixture and removing and recovering a condensable fuel fraction and a non-condensable hydrocarbon gas with energy, while simultaneously forming an odor-reduced, cleaned molten APAO-based HMA.

Abstract: A substantially zero carbon emission process for making amorphous poly alpha olefins including, converting alkanes to olefin monomers ethylene, propylene, and 1-butene or combinations thereof using renewable electric power in an oxidative-coupling of methane plant including the steps of passing alkanes through an ethylene plant while adding oxygen, passing the first polymerization grade ethylene through a 2-butene plant, passing a first of the two 2-butene streams and one of the polymerization grade ethylene through a propylene plant, and passing a second of the two 2-butene streams through a 1-butene plant. The next step in the process for making amorphous poly alpha olefins includes polymerizing at least one of the polymerization grade alkenes which includes applying a temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit to 175 degrees Fahrenheit to at least one of the polymerization grade alkenes and scrubbing at least one boiler stack gases.

Abstract: Packaging and/or storing atactic polypropylene or other amorphous poly alpha olefins is accomplished by first heating a mass of the olefin material to a molten state and then cooling the molten mass of olefin material to an extrusion temperature. Next, the formless mass of atactic polypropylene is extruded and cut into a succession of pellets. Inert dust-like material is sprayed onto the cutting surfaces and the surface of the olefin material so that the natural tendency of the material to stick to itself and to other objects is avoided.

Abstract translation: 通过首先将大量烯烃材料加热至熔融状态，然后将烯烃材料的熔融物质冷却至挤出温度来实现包装和/或储存无规聚丙烯或其它无定形聚α-烯烃。 接下来，将无形质量的无规立构聚丙烯挤出并切割成一系列颗粒。 将惰性的粉尘状材料喷涂到切割表面和烯烃材料的表面上，从而避免了材料自身粘附到其它物体的自然倾向。

Abstract: A hot melt adhesive formulation includes 60 to 99 wt. % of an amorphous propylene-co-hexene-1 polymer component based on the total weight of the hot melt adhesive without the use of flammable solvents, 20 to 80 wt % of hexene-1 co-monomer based on the total weight of the amorphous propylene-co-hexene-1 copolymer component, 20 to 80 wt. % of a propylene co-monomer based on the total weight of the amorphous propylene-co-hexene-1 copolymer component, and from 1 to 40 wt. % of a co-adjuvant based on the total weight of the hot melt adhesive. The hot melt adhesive formulation has rolling ball tack from 2 to 50 centimeters at ambient temperature after conditioning at ambient temperatures for 24 hours. The hexene-1 monomer to propylene monomer ratios are from 4:1 to 1:4.
