  • Use of melt plasticizers to enhance processability and mechanical properties of polyolefin articles
    Publication number: 20060182963
    Abstract: The present invention relates to plasticized polyolefin compositions comprising a polyolefin and plasticizer comprising certain types or grades of poly-esterified sucrose. The poly-esterified sucrose has a weight average molecular weight of between 1,800 grams/mole and 3,500 grams/mole, and is present at levels of about 0.01% to 80% by weight in the polyolefin and more preferably 0.10 to 1.25% by weight in the polyolefin. The polyolefin may be a polypropylene homopolymer, copolymer, or impact copolymer, or a high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, or linear low density polyethylene, or blends thereof.
