摘要:
The present invention pertains to a continuous process and polymerization system characterized by separate injection of catalyst and make-up feed, an ethylene interpolymer composition characterized as having broad molecular weight distribution (MWD) and optimized compositional uniformity, a process for making such a composition and a fabricated article made from such composition. The novel composition is characterized as having a melt flow ratio, I10/I2, from 8 to 10.4, a Mw/Mn of greater than 4 as determined by gel permeation chromatography, a melt index, I2, from 0.1 to 10 gram/10 minutes, a density less than 0.945 gram/cubic centimeter, and based on the total weight of crystallizable polymer portions, a weight percent at the dominant peak temperature above 75 °C, as determined using crystallization analysis fractionation in the range of 20 to 100 °C, equal to or greater than the mathematical product of 1.7946x10?-28 x 10(31.839 x composition density)¿ for composition density in grams/cubic centimeter. The novel composition exhibits good processibility and improved toughness properties, especially excellent film tear and impact resistance, and is particularly well-suited for use in applications such as high performance trash can liners and heavy duty shipping bags.
摘要:
The subject invention provides a polymer mixture having high heat resistivity, low hexane extractive and controllably lower or higher modulus. The mixture is comprised of at least one first substantially linear ethylene polymer, Component (A), and at least one second ethylene polymer which is a homogeneously branched polymer, heterogeneously branched linear polymer or a non-short chain branched linear polymer. When fabricated into film, the mixture is characterized by a heat seal initiation temperature which is substantially lower than its Vicat softening point as well as a high ultimate hot tack strength. When fabricated as a molded article, the mixture is characterized by high microwave warp distortion while maintaining a lower modulus. The polymer mixture is particularly well-suited for use in multilayer film structures as a sealant layer for such applications as cook-in packages, hot-fill packages, and barrier shrink films. In molding applications, the mixture is well-suited as freezer-to-microwave food storage containers and lids which maintain good flexibility at low temperature to allow easy openability of such containers.

Flexible gaskets are formed from blends of ethylene/α-olefin interpolymers which contain long chain branching and that possess improved processability as well as low temperature resistance and resistance to staining and attack by microbes. Such gaskets do not require formulation other than the addition of color, to produce a functional product. The gaskets of the present invention do not impact negatively on the environment and are also relatively inexpensive to produce.

The subject invention provides a film having at least one layer comprising an interpolymer of ethylene and at least one comonomer selected from the group consisting of C3-C20 α-olefins, dienes, and cycloalkenes, wherein the interpolymer is characterized as having a high degree of processability, good optical performance, and good mechanical properties. The subject invention further provides film fabrication processes and polymer compositions which are useful in preparing the subject films.

The present invention pertains to an ethylene interpolymer composition characterized as having a narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD) and optimized compositional uniformity, a process for making such a composition and a fabricated article made from such composition. The novel composition is characterized as having at least two polymer components, the first component having an ATREF peak temperature, Tpeak1 and a viscosity average molecular weight, Mv1, and the second component having an ATREF peak temperature, Tpeak2, and a viscosity average molecular, Mv2, wherein the temperature differential between Tpeak2 and Tpeak1 decreases with increased composition density and Mv1/Mv2 is less than or equal to 1.2. The novel composition is further characterized as having a Mw/Mn of less than or equal to 3.3 as determined by gel permeation chromatography, an I10/I2 6.6, and a composition density less than 0.945 gram/cubic centimeter. The novel composition exhibits high, balanced toughness properties, good processibility and surprisingly improved optical properties and is particularly well-suited for use in applications such as lamination films trash can liners and heavy duty shipping bags, especially as a blown film.
