Abstract:
The BOPP film includes a polypropylene, an absence of a nucleating agent, and an additive blended with the polypropylene forming a polypropylene/additive blend, wherein the additive is potassium stearate.
Abstract:
A polymer composition adapted for use in injection stretch blow molding may include a metallocene random propylene-based copolymer in the absence of a clarifier. The metallocene random propylene-based copolymer may exhibit a melting point of from 105° C. to less than 175° C., a recrystallization temperature ranging from 85° C. to 100° C. as measured by DSC, a microtacticity ranging from 89% to 99%, a molecular weight (Mw) ranging from 170,000 to 210,000, and a melt flow rate of from about 1 dg/min. to about 40 dg/min. A method of forming an injection stretch blow molded (ISBM) article may include providing the metallocene random propylene-based copolymer, injection molding the metallocene random propylene-based copolymer in the absence of a clarifier into a preform, and stretch-blowing the preform into an article.

Abstract:
Methods for preparing an impact copolymer by selecting a continuous phase polymer having a first melt flow rate and selecting a rubber phase polymeric material such that the final melt flow rate of the impact copolymer is within 2 g/10 min of the first melt flow rate. Impact copolymers made from such methods and films and molded articles produced from such impact copolymers are also included.

Abstract:
A process includes combining a metallocene catalyzed polypropylene with a nucleator and a slip agent to form a composition, and forming a cast film from the composition. The slip agent may exhibit an increased slip bloom rate within the cast film relative to the slip bloom rate exhibited by the slip agent in an otherwise identical cast film in which the nucleator is not present in the cast film. The cast film may exhibit a coefficient of friction that is less than a coefficient of friction of an otherwise identical cast film in which the nucleator is not present in the cast film.
