Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for heated tool butt welding of polypropylene pipes. The novel welding process is performed with PP-HM polypropylene according to EN 1852- 1:1997/A1. The novel welding process is in part performed according to DVS 2207-11:1999. The novel process results in an improved stability of the welding joints.
Abstract:
Polypropylene blend for pipe production comprising (a) Component (A) being a propylene homo- or copolymer made with a single site catalyst system and (b) Component (B) being a second propylene homo- or copolymer made with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst or a single site catalyst (B), which broadens the molecular weight distribution in terms of polydispersity index PI of the whole composition, wherein either component (A) and/or component (B) and/or the polypropylene blend composition is β-nucleated; the use of such blends for preparing pipes and the pipes produced therefrom.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing polypropylene articles comprising a high relative content of the orthorhombic gamma-crystal modification by applying four consecutive process steps, namely (a) heating a polypropylene composition comprising a propylene random copolymer and an alpha-crystal nucleating agent to form a melt, (b) shearing said melt at a high apparent shear rate, (c) shaping said melt into an article, and (d) cooling said melt in a specific range of cooling rate to obtain polypropylene articles of high transparency
