  • Filter to Prepare Low Molecular Weight Polymers for Adhesive Compositions
    Publication number: 20170058154
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing a low molecular weight polyolefin adhesive component, the process including the steps of (a) cooling a polymer solution to a temperature less than or equal to about its cloud point to form a cooled polymer solution; (2) filtering the cooled polymer solution using a filter, wherein the polymer solution includes a low molecular weight polyolefin adhesive component and a solvent; and (b) recovering the solvent and the polyolefin.
