摘要:
Alicyclic carboxylates, such as alicyclic norbonane sodium dicarboxylate, may be used in relatively small amounts as crystallization nucleating agents for foamed polypropylene. The alicyclic carboxylates give improved cell structures at lower proportions than conventional crystallization nucleating agents. The use of alicyclic carboxylate crystallization nucleating agents together with conventional nucleating agents may help give lower density polypropylene foams across a broader melt temperature range.
摘要:
A polypropylene material may be prepared from a blend of heterophasic propylene copolymers and propylene homopolymers. The material may be prepared by blending the polymers while they are in a molten state, and forming a film or sheet from the polymer blend. The materials may also be formed as coextruded materials or as ternary blends with a polyethylene or a single phase random propylene copolymer. The blends and neat polymers have particular application to forming slit film tapes and similar materials. The resultant materials may exhibit increased tenacity, elongation and toughness and greater surface roughness as compared to those materials prepared solely from propylene homopolymers.

Methods of forming a clear packaging container, polymers for use therein and packaging containers are described herein. The methods generally include providing a propylene based polymer formed from a metallocene catalyst; blending the propylene based polymer with a nonitol-based clarifying agent to form clarified polypropylene; and forming the clarified polypropylene into a packaging container, wherein the packaging container exhibits a gloss that is at least 6% greater than a container formed from a Ziegler-Natta formed propylene based polymer blended with the clarifying agent.
摘要:
Polymer articles and processes of forming polymer articles are described herein. The processes generally include providing a propylene based polymer formed from a metallocene catalyst and melt processing the propylene based polymer to form a polymer article.

A polymer blend and a method of making the same are provided. The polymer blend includes an ethylene-propylene (C2-C3) random copolymer and a modifier selected from the group consisting of a metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene-based copolymer, a metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene-based terpolymer, and a syndiotactic polypropylene homopolymer. The polymer blend may also include an organic peroxide for visbreaking the polymer blend. An end use article is made from the foregoing polymer blend. The end use article may be, for example, a film, an injection molded article, a compression molded article, a thermoformed article, and a fiber. The end use article is desirably a film having an Elmendorf tear strength of at least about 300 g/ply in the machine and transverse directions.
