Abstract:
Synergists comprising at least one polylactone block and a comonomer block are described. Such synergists may be used in combination with a fluorinated polymer processing additive to reduce melt fracture when processing thermoplastic materials by, for example, extrusion casting or melt blowing the composition. Both diblock and triblock polylactone-based synergists are described. Suitable comonomer blocks include poly(alkylene ether) and polydialkylsiloxane. Suitable thermoplastic polymers include polyolefins such as linear low-density polyethylene.
