Abstract:
A film of a linear low density copolymer of ethylene (LLDPE) having an Mz/Mw ratio of greater than 3.5 and exhibiting excellent optical properties and impact strength.
Abstract:
Blown films of linear low density polyethylene are produced by a high stalk process comprising extruding the linear low density polyethylene through an annular die to form an extruded tube of molten material, cooling the extruded tube while drawing the tube so cooled, to maintain the tube diameter identical to that of the annular die and expanding the tube or bubble to attenuate the walls thereof by introducing a gas to the interior of the tube or bubble. The resulting films are characterized by superior impact strength and MD tear resistance.

Abstract:
In a process for producing a heterogeneous polymer blend, at least one first monomer is polymerized in a first reaction zone in the presence of a supported catalyst to produce a thermoplastic first polymer having a crystallinity of at least 30%. At least part of said first polymer is then contacted with at least one second monomer and at least one polyene in a second reaction zone under conditions sufficient to polymerize said second monomer to produce a second polymer having a crystallinity of less than 20%. The second polymer is at least partially cross-linked in the second reaction zone such that at least a fraction of the second polymer is insoluble in xylene and such that the first and second polymers form different phases of the blend.
Abstract:
A process is provided for extruding a bimodal polyethylene resin. The process includes providing a polyethylene homopolymer or copolymer resin having a bimodal molecular weight distribution; conveying the resin through an extruder having a feed zone in which the resin is not melted, a melt-mixing zone in which at least a portion of the resin is melted, and a melt zone in which the resin is in a molten state, each zone being partially filled with the resin; and contacting the molten resin in the melt zone with a gas mixture of 8 to 40% by volume O2. The resin can be further pelletized. The oxygen-tailored resin can be used to make polyethylene films having improved bubble stability.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to processes of making polymer in the presence of a hydrofluorocarbon or perfluorocarbon and recovering the polymer. The processes provided enable polymerization processes to be practiced with minimal fouling in the reaction system, and to the recovery of the hydrofluorocarbon and other hydrocarbons such as hydrocarbons for reuse in the process or hydrocarbon by-products from the polymerization process. The invention is particularly beneficial in the production of ethylene based polymers using bulky ligand metallocene-type catalyst systems.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for uniformly dispersing a transition metal metallocene complex on a carrier comprising (1) providing silica which is porous and has a particle size of 1 to 250 microns, having pores which have an average diameter of 50 to 500 Angstroms and having a pore volume of 0.5 to 5.0 cc/g; (2) slurrying the silica in an aliphatic solvent having a boiling point less than 110° C.; (3) providing a volume of a solution comprising metallocene and alumoxane wherein the volume of solution is less than that required to form a slurry of the silica, wherein the concentration of alumoxane, expressed as Al weight percent, is 5 to 20; (4) contacting the silica slurry (2) with said volume of said solution (3) and allowing the solution to impregnate the pores of silica and, to disperse the metallocene in and on the carrier; (5) evaporating the solvents from the contacted and impregnated silica to recover dry free-flowing catalyst particles.
