  • Publication number: 20050249900
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing an injection molded article comprising bringing an injection molded substrate into contact with a polymer film during an injection molding process at a point in the injection molding process, the resulting part having improved surface properties such as low heat seal initiation temperature while retaining substantially all of the mechanical characteristics of the substrate. Random polypropylene copolymers are disclosed as being useful for preparing the polymer films.

  • Patent number: 6765068
    Abstract: Polypropylene heterophasic copolymers are produced having increased impact strength through the use of controlled rheology techniques by the addition of a peroxide at conditions which increase the deactivation or half life of the peroxide. The increased half life slows down the vis-breaking process and allows better dispersion of rubber particles within the polymer. In this way, copolymers having a high melt flow can be prepared while obtaining high impact strength and lower stiffness values, without the need for additional elastomeric modifiers.
