Abstract: A blown polypropylene film or sheet is disclosed. The film or sheet can include at least 95 wt. % of a polypropylene, and at least one β-nucleating agent or crystallization inhibitor, where the polypropylene blown film or sheet has a thickness of 0.5 mils to 15 mils, and where the polypropylene blown film has an increased dart impact strength, as measure by ASTM D1709, when compared with a second polypropylene blown film or sheet that has the same components in the same wt. % amounts as the polypropylene blown film or sheet except that the second polypropylene blown film or sheet does not include the at least one β-nucleating agent or crystallization inhibitor.

Abstract: Processing parameters of polypropylene and/or polyethylene are adjusted by combining them with a non-fluorinated process aid. The process aid is an oleochemical derivative and/or a wax having a viscosity of from 10 cP to 100 cP. The wax is a branched ethylene-propylene copolymer. The processing parameter, e.g., pressure at the die, or volumetric output is adjusted for the polypropylene and/or polyethylene compared to the polypropylene and/or polyethylene without the non-fluorinated process aid at the same processing conditions. The mechanical properties of an extruded polymeric article including the non-fluorinated process aid are the same or are improved compared to the same composition without the non-fluorinated polymer processing aid or one that includes a fluorinated processing aid.

Abstract: A high impact polystyrene reactor system includes a first continuously stirred tank reactor. The first continuously stirred tank reactor includes an inlet configured to receive (i) at least one vinyl aromatic monomer, (ii) an elastomer, and (iii) a free radical initiator; and an outlet configured to convey a first reactor effluent. In addition, the high impact polystyrene reactor system includes a second continuously stirred tank reactor. The second continuously stirred tank reactor includes an inlet in fluid communication with the first continuously stirred tank reactor outlet and configured to receive (i) a portion of the first reactor effluent from the first continuously stirred tank reactor, (ii) at least one vinyl aromatic monomer, (iii) an elastomer, and (iv) a free radical initiator; and an outlet configured to convey a portion of a second reactor effluent comprising high impact polystyrene. Further, the high impact polystyrene reactor system includes a conduit for establishing a recirculation stream between the second reactor and the first reactor. The recirculation stream comprises another portion of the second reactor effluent.
