Abstract: A process may include providing a polyethylene post consumer resin, providing a virgin polyethylene resin, and blending the polyethylene post consumer resin with the virgin polyethylene resin to produce a composition. The polyethylene post consumer resin may have an ESCR of at most 10 hours, a density ranging from 0.950 to 0.967 g/cm3, and an HLMI of 40 to 70 g/10 min. The virgin polyethylene resin may include fractions A and B, with fraction A having a higher molecular weight and lower density than fraction B. Fraction A may have an HL275 of at least 0.1 g/10 min and of at most 4 g/10 min, and a density of at least 0.920 g/cm3 and of at most 0.942 g/cm. The virgin polyethylene resin may have an HLMI of 5 to 75 g/10 min, and a density ranging from 0.945 to 0.960 g/cm3.

Abstract: An injection stretch blow molded article may include a Ziegler-Natta catalyzed polyethylene resin having a multimodal molecular weight distribution and including at least two polyethylene fractions A and B. Fraction A may have a higher molecular weight and a lower density than fraction B. Each fraction may be prepared in different reactors of at least two reactors connected in series. Fraction A may have a melt index HL275 of at least 11 g/10 min and of at most 20 g/10 min, and a density of at least 941 kg/m3 and of at most 946 kg/m3. The polyethylene resin may have a melt index MI2 of at least 1.5 g/10 min and of at most 3.0 g/10 min, and a density of at least 950 kg/m3 and of at most 965 kg/m3.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coordination complex system comprising a ligand having the formula: R1—SO2—NH—P (XR2)2 (1a); or R1—SO2—N?PH (XR2)2 (1b); or R1—SO(OH)?N—P(XR2)2 (1c); wherein X is independently O, S, NH, or a bond; R1 and R2 are independently selected from hydrogen and substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl; wherein at least one equivalent of the ligand is complexed to an equivalent of a metal selected from a transition metal and lanthanide. The invention also relates to the use of said coordination complexes as catalysts in the hydroformylation, hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation, hydrocyanation, polymerization, isomerization, carbonylation, cross-coupling, metathesis, CH activation, allylic substitution, aldol condensation, or Michael addition.
