Abstract:
Synergistic visbreaking composition of peroxide and a hydroxylamine ester for increasing the visbreaking efficiency for polypropylene polymers at melt extrusion temperatures below 250° C. and its use in visbreaking polypropylene. The present invention is furthermore related to the use of such visbroken polypropylene polymers for producing melt blown non-wovens with improved barrier properties.
