Abstract:
This invention relates to fabricated articles, including films or sheets prepared from blends of substantially random ethylene/propylene/vinyl aromatic monomer interpolymers with propylene homopolymers or copolymers. The fabricated articles exhibit high toughness, tensile properties and heat resistance and low stress whitening, and further can exhibit desirable optical properties, especially when in the form of a film or sheet.
Abstract:
Polypropylene resin compositions are provided that are useful in the production of biaxially oriented polypropylene films (BOPPs). The resins of the present invention are blends of high crystalline (low solubles) polypropylene homopolymer and an ethylene/propylene random copolymer (RCP). These blends can be used to replace standard high solubles BOPP grade polypropylene homopolymers. In addition, the use of high crystalline polypropylene homopolymers in the blends imparts improved stiffness to the finished films while maintaining good processability of the blends.
Abstract:
Improved grafted propylene copolymer compositions and adhesive blends containing same are provided. The grafts are obtained by reacting propylene-ethylene impact copolymers having specified rubber contents and molecular weight distributions with ethylenically unsaturated acids or acid derivatives, such as maleic anhydride.
Abstract:
The present invention provides isotactic polypropylene compositions suitable for cast film applications, cast polypropylene films made therefrom, and processes for forming such films. The novel polypropylene films are formed from film resins having a melt flow ratio of from 6-15 dg/min, with a narrow molecular weight distribution, narrow composition distribution, low level of solvent extractables, and increased film clarity (i.e., decreased haze %) compared to prior art Ziegler-Natta polypropylene film resins. The polypropylene films can be cast from an extruded polypropylene polymer, the extruded isotactic polypropylene polymer being formed by polymerization with a fluorided silica supported catalyst.

(by TREF) to the said xylene soluble fraction higher than 8.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods are described herein for use in packaging having improved moisture vapor barrier properties. In certain embodiments of the present invention, packaging articles can be made having improved oxygen barrier properties as well. Compositions of the present invention can comprise a low molecular weight hydrogenated aliphatic resin and either a high density polyethylene or a branched or linear low density polyethylene. The low molecular weight hydrogenated aliphatic resin has a weight-average molecular weight of less than about 2000 g/mol. Preferably, the low molecular weight hydrogenated aliphatic resin comprises hydrogenated poly (dicyclopentadiene) or the product of hydrogenating a polymer produced by polymerizing a reaction mixture comprising dicyclopentadiene.
