  • Linear low density polymer blends and articles made therefrom
    Publication number: 20070260016
    Abstract: This invention relates to blends of linear low density polyethylene copolymers with other linear low density polyethylenes or very low density, low density, medium density, high density, and differentiated polyethylenes. The invention also includes articles produced from the linear low density polyethylene and polyethylene blends described.

  • Very low density polyethylene blends
    Publication number: 20060276594
    Abstract: Blends of very low density polyethylene produced using metallocene catalysts (mVLDPE) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) are disclosed. The polymer blends include a metallocene-catalyzed VLDPE polymer having a density of less than 0.916 g/cm3, the VLDPE polymer preferably being linear and without long chain branching, and a LLDPE polymer having a density of from 0.916 to 0.940 g/cm3. The polymer blends are particularly suitable in blown and cast film applications.

  • Stretch-cling films
    Publication number: 20060159943
    Abstract: The invention concerns films having a cling layer of an elastomeric propylene-based polymer with a low heat of fusion derived from isotactic propylene type crystallinity, as determined by DSC of less than 40 J/g, optionally blended with a crystalline isotactic propylene derived polymer having a heat of fusion over 70 J/g and/or a melting point of at least 120° C. as determined by DSC, and a non-cling layer of a polyolefin. The cling layer may contain other components such as crystalline polypropylene.
