  • Ethylenic polymer and its use
    Patent number: 10875947
    Abstract: New ethylene polymers having low levels of long chain branching are disclosed. Films and film layers made form these polymers have good hot tack strength over a wide range of temperatures, making them good materials for packaging applications.
    Type: Grant

  • Modified flexible EVOH for high performance films
    Patent number: 9447269
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a film having a combination of good flexibility and excellent barrier properties. The film comprises at least one barrier layer. The barrier layer comprises at least 5 percent, by weight of the layer, of an anhydride and/or carboxylic acid functionalized ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer having a density in the range of from 0.855 to 0.900 g/cm3; and having a melt index (190° C./2.16 kg) of greater than 200 g/10 min. The barrier layer further comprises at least 60 percent, by weight of the layer, of an interpolymer derived from ethylene and vinyl alcohol monomer units.

  • Low gloss thermoformable flooring structure
    Publication number: 20060189759
    Abstract: A novel flooring composition was developed based on a blend comprising: a) an elastomer; b) a random propylene/alpha-olefin copolymer; c) a cross linking agent; and optionally d) a melt strength enhancing polymer. This composition achieves a unique balance of properties, exhibiting often-conflicting performance requirements. These include low gloss and excellent pattern duplication in embossing, low modulus, minimal odor, excellent grain acceptance and abrasion resistance, while remaining thermoformable and maintaining minimal shift in viscosity during recycle.
