Abstract:
Disclosed is a carbonate polymer blend composition comprising (a) a carbonate polymer, (b) a propylene polymer, (c) a compatibilizing graft copolymer, (d) a polymer selected from a graft modified propylene polymer and/or an alpha-olefin carboxylic acid copolymer, and/or an olefin block copolymer, optionally (e) a filler, (f) optionally a thermoplastic resin other than (a), (b), (c), or (d) and (g) optionally one or more additive selected from stabilizers, pigments, mold release agents, flow enhancers, or antistatic agents. Said carbonate polymer blend composition has a good balance of physical properties, impact resistance, process-ability, and reduced gloss in molded articles.
Abstract:
An olefine polymer composition comprises a stabilizing amount of a metal deactivator comprising a polymeric hydrazine derivative. The deactivator is of formula (I), in which at least one of R1 and R2 comprise a polymeric radical that includes a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic radical. The olefin polymers include polyethylene and polypropylene.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a composition suitable for use in a single-sided stretch cling film, the composition having from 0.1 to 20 percent by weight of a propylene-based copolymer having substantially isotactic propylene sequences, and having from 80 to 99 percent by weight of an ethylene-based copolymer having a density of at least 0.905 g/cc, wherein a film made from the composition exhibits cling layer to release layer cling of at least 70 grams force per inch as measured by ASTM D-5458-95, noise levels of less than 87 dB during unwinding operations, and has a modulus of at least 3 MPA as determined by ASTM D-882.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising (a) a monovinylidene aromatic polymer, e.g., HIPS, and (b) an ethylene/alpha-olefin (EAO) copolymer, e.g., an ethylene-propylene copolymer, that satisfies the mathematical relationship: y≦20+2.35x in which y is the ethylene content in mole percent (mol %) of the EAO copolymer and x is the Brookfield viscosity in centipoise (cP) at 10O° C. of the EAO copolymer and the viscosity is at least 1 centipoise (cP), exhibit improved environmental stress crack resistance as compared to compositions containing monovinyiidene aromatic polymers but without such an EAO copolymer. The compositions are useful in the manufacture of articles, e.g., refrigerator liners and food packaging, which come in contact with the oils contained in various food stuffs.
