  • RADIATION CROSSLINKED POLYETHYLENE HINGE
    Publication number: 20190337685
    Abstract: Polyethylene living hinges used in “snap top” lids for condiments and the like may be electron bean irradiated to partially crosslink the polyethylene to produce a hinge having an improvement in the number of opening and closing cycles until failure of not less than 30%. The irradiated lids may be used in place of polypropylene lids for condiment containers.

  • BLOW MOLDING COMPOSITION AND PROCESS
    Publication number: 20170247526
    Abstract: This invention provides a blow molding composition comprising a high molecular weight, chromium catalyzed ethylene copolymer (also referred to as a polyethylene resin) and a nucleating agent. The composition enables a more efficient blow molding process by reducing the number of malformed/rejected parts that are produced when the process is operated at high rates. In a preferred embodiment, the malformed parts may be reground and added to “virgin” composition for the production of prime parts.
