  • Patent number: 6437048
    Abstract: A plastic molded product of olefin (co)polymer composition comprises 0.01-5.0 weight parts high molecular weight polyethylene with an intrinsic viscosity &eegr;E in the range of 15-100 dl/g measured in 135° C. tetralin and preferably 100 weight parts polypropylene. The high molecular weight polyethylene has an average particle size in the range of 1-5000 nm and is finely dispersed as fine granules in the polypropylene, so that high melt strength and high crystallization temperature are attained, enabling various molding methods to be performed with high speed productivity. Using the polymer composition, plastics such as a resin foam, a film, a sheet, a layered plastic article with a coated substrate surface, a hollow plastic article, an injection molded plastic article, a fiber, a nonwoven web or a continuous tube-shaped plastic are provided. The olefin (co)polymer composition is obtained by preparing high molecular weight polyethylene granules using e.g.

  • Patent number: 6300415
    Abstract: A polypropylene composition for the production of various molded articles which are excellent in moldability, mold shrinkage factor on molding, rigidity, flexibility, impact resistance, in particular low-temperature impact resistance, transparency, gloss, stress-whitening resistance, and the balance thereof; various molded articles having the above properties; a propylene composition which is suitable for a base resin for the polypropylene composition; and a process for the production thereof. The propylene composition comprises a propylene homopolymer and a propylene-ethylene copolymer, the intrinsic viscosity of the copolymer ([&eegr;]RC) is in the range of 1.7 to 2.8 dl/g, the intrinsic viscosity ratio of the homopolymer to the copolymer ([&eegr;]RC/[&eegr;]pp) is in the range of 0.7 to 1.
