  • Patent number: 10174186
    Abstract: The invention relates to a polyethylene molding composition having a multimodal molar mass distribution particularly suitable for blow molding films having a thickness in the range from 8 to 200 ?m. The molding composition has a density at a temperature of 23° C. in the range from 0.953 to 0.960 g/cm3 and an MFR190/5 of the final product after extrusion in the range from 0.10 to 0.50 dg/min. The composition comprises from 30 to 60% by weight of a first ethylene polymer fraction made of a homopolymer A having a first molecular weight, from 22 to 40% by weight of a second ethylene polymer fraction made of a further homopolymer or first copolymer B of ethylene and at least one first comonomer from the group of olefins having from 4 to 8 carbon atoms, the first copolymer B having a second molecular weight higher than the first molecular weight, and from 10 to 30% by weight of a third ethylene polymer fraction made of a second copolymer C having a third molecular weight higher than the second molecular weight.

  • Patent number: 8022124
    Abstract: Process for preparation of ethylene homopolymers or copolymers, comprising the steps of a) polymerization of ethylene or of ethylene with one or more other 1-olefins in the presence of a chromium catalyst at temperatures of from 20 to 200° C. and at pressures of from 0.1 to 20 MPa, where the chromium catalyst can be prepared via application of one or more chromium compounds to a silicate support and subsequent thermal activation under oxidative conditions at temperatures of from 620 to 900° C.; b) mixing of the polyethylene in the melt in the presence of from 1000 to 2000 ppm of an antioxidant comprising at least one sterically hindered phenol and comprising at least one phosphite in a mixing ratio of from 1:5 to 5:1, with specific energy input of at least 0.17 kWh/kg.
