  • Patent number: 11465835
    Abstract: Embodiments of thermoplastic bags which yield elasticity and stiffness include a first drawtape disposed within the first channel, wherein the first drawtape comprises a linear low density polyethylene having a density of from 0.902 g/cc to 0.920 g/cc, and a second drawtape disposed within the second channel, wherein the second drawtape comprises a high density polyethylene having a density of from 0.940 g/cc to 0.965 g/cc.

  • Publication number: 20220112363
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to compositions comprising at least one polyethylene (PE) having a density ranging from 0.850 g/cc to 0.970 g/cc, and a polymer processing aid (PPA) masterbatch comprising a PPA polymer blend, at least one polymeric carrier, and optionally up to 12 wt. % of one or more inorganic materials. The PPA polymer blend comprises from 40 to 60 wt. % of one or more fluoroelastomers, and from 40 to 60 wt. % of polyethylene glycol. The composition further comprises at least one fragrance oil. The composition is defined by the equation: RED (PE?PPA masterbatch)<RED (Fragrance oil?PPA masterbatch), wherein the RED (PE?PPA masterbatch) is the relative energy difference (RED) value for the PE and PPA masterbatch and RED (Fragrance oil?PPA masterbatch) is the RED value for the fragrance oil and PPA masterbatch.

  • Patent number: 11040523
    Abstract: A multilayer blown film having an inner layer, a first outer layer, and a second outer layer, wherein the inner layer comprises an ethylene-based polymer having a MWCDI value greater than 0.9, and a melt index ratio (I10/I2) that meets the following equation: I10/I2?7.0?1.2×log (I2); and the first outer layer and the second outer layer independently comprise a polyethylene composition which comprises the reaction product of ethylene and, optionally, one or more alpha olefin comonomers, wherein the polyethylene composition is characterized by the following properties: (a) a melt index, I2, of from 0.1 to 2.0 g/10 min; (b) a density of from 0.910 to 0.930 g/cc; (c) a melt flow ratio, I10/I2, of from 6.0 to 7.6; and (d) a molecular weight distribution, (Mw/Mn) of from 2.5 to 4.0.
