  • Patent number: 11117995
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypropylene composition comprising a long chain branched polymer having high melt strength. The process for preparing the corresponding polypropylene having composition is provided comprising blending a propylene base polymer with a unsaturated polyfunctional poly(alkylsiloxane), a polyfunctional acrylate coagent, an initiator, additives such as stabilizer, acid neutralizer and antioxidants, and reactive extruding the blend to form a branched polymer composition bridged by siloxane units.

  • Publication number: 20210179793
    Abstract: A multilayer blown film, designed for use in heavy duty sacks manufactured by a high-speed Form-Fill-Seal packaging process, having unique heat sealing characteristics and desirable mechanical properties is disclosed. Additionally, a multilayer blown film consists of skin layers prepared from a Ziegler-Natta catalyzed ethylene and alpha-olefin copolymer with novel composition distribution, and at least one core layer that includes both HPDE and LLDPE. The multilayer blown film, with no external sealing additives present in skin layers, exhibits outstanding processability, superior tear resistance, as well as balanced stiffness and toughness.

  • Patent number: 10442874
    Abstract: Heterocyclic organic compounds are used as electron donors in conjunction with solid Ziegler-Natta type catalyst in processes in which polyolefins such as polypropylene are produced. The electron donors may be used in the preparation of solid catalyst system, thus serving as “internal electron donors,” or they may be employed during or prior to polymerization with the co-catalyst as “external electron donors.
