摘要:
Disclosed is a multimodal, high density, homopolyethylene barrier resin. The resin is preferably made by a multistage process. The process comprises a first stage in which ethylene is homopolymerized in the presence of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, organoaluminum cocatalyst, alkoxysilane modifier, and hydrogen. The reaction mixture from the first stage is devolatilized to remove all or substantially all of the hydrogen. The polymerization continues in a second stage wherein ethylene is added to the devolatilized reaction mixture to produce the barrier resin. The barrier resin provides films with improved barrier properties.
摘要:
Bimodal polyethylene resins having reduced long-chain branching and suitable for use in pipe resin applications as a result of their improved SCG and RCP resistance are provided. The improved resins of the invention are produced in a two-reactor cascade slurry polymerization process using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system and wherein an alkoxysilane modifier is present in both reactors.

Disclosed is a polyethylene composition having faster crystallization rate and improved environmental stress cracking resistance. The polyethylene composition comprises a multimodal polyethylene and a nucleating agent. The multimodal polyethylene comprises from 25 to 50 wt % of a low molecular weight ethylene homopolymer component, from 25 to 50 wt % of a medium molecular weight ethylene copolymer component and from 25 to 50 wt % of a high molecular weight ethylene copolymer component. The polyethylene composition has an environmental stress cracking resistance (ASTM D1693, Condition B in 100% Igepal) greater than or equal to 40 days and a crystallization half time less than or equal to 70% of the crystallization half time of the multimodal polyethylene without nucleating agent.

摘要:
Resins comprising a relatively high-density, low-molecular-weight polyethylene component and a relatively low-density, high-molecular-weight ethylene copolymer component and methods of making the resins are disclosed. The rheological polydispersity of the high-density component exceeds that of either the resin or the low-density component. The resins are valuable for making films, sheets, coatings, pipes, fibers, and molded articles having a favorable balance of good stiffness and excellent environmental stress crack resistance.
摘要:
A process for producing olefin polymer composites having improved melt strength and other improved physical characteristics is provided. The process is a solution process wherein an organically modified clay is intimately incorporated, at low levels and without the use of compatibilizing agents, into an olefin polymer base resin.
摘要:
A blend comprising a high molecular weight, high density polyethylene (HMW HDPE) and a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is disclosed. The blend comprises from about 50 wt. % to about 80 wt. % of HMW HDPE. The HMW HDPE has a density greater than about 0.94 g/cc and a melt index MI2 less than about 0.1 dg/min. The blend also comprises about 20 wt. % to about 50. wt % of LLDPE. The LLDPE has a density within the range of about 0.90 to about 0.93 g/cc and an MI2 within the range of about 0.5 to about 5 dg/min. The LLDPE is a copolymer of ethylene with 1-hexene that has a dart drop impact strength of greater than about 500 grams as measured by ASTM D1709/A. The blend shows increased resistance to environmental stress cracking.
