  • High Gloss Thermoformed Article and Process for Producing Same
    Publication number: 20110052930
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a thermoforming process and thermoformed articles produced therefrom. The thermoforming process includes heating a structure with a gloss layer composed of a propylene-based polymer having a melt flow rate from about 0.1 g/10 min to about 1.5 g/10 min, and producing a thermoformed article wherein the gloss layer has a post-thermoformed Gardner gloss value within 25% of the pre-thermoformed Gardner gloss value for the gloss layer. The thermoformed article may have a gloss layer with a post-thermoformed Gardner gloss value greater than or equal to about 60.

  • POLYPROPYLENE FOR USE IN BOPP APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20110031645
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polypropylene compositions having a broad molecular weight distribution with a relatively high amount of xylene soluble material. The compositions have an Mw/Mn of five or greater, but preferably greater than 5.5 and more preferably greater than 6.0. The compositions have xylene solubles from 5.0 to 8.0 percent by weight, preferably from 5.5 to 8.0 percent by weight, and more preferably 6.0 to 7.5 percent by weight. The polymers of the present invention are particularly well suited for biaxially oriented polypropylene applications.
