Additives for Processing Films From Polypropylene

Executive Summary New additives have been formulated into polymer masterbatches to create enhanced thin films of polypropylene. These films can be produced at thickness of 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm and possess acceptable mechanical properties for use as well as resistance to sticking at high temperatures and enhanced barriers to vapors. Description of...

Nanoclay Modification and Compound Formulation for Foaming Linear Polypropylene

​ Introduction Linear polypropylene is not ideal for making foams for sealing purposes due to poor melt strength. The attempts to overcome this limitation by cross-linking a portion of the linear polymer or by adding a long chained branched polymer have resulted in unwanted side effects, such as a reduction in recyclability. Additionally, long...
