Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process including providing a polyolefin aqueous dispersion having (50) to (90) wt % solids content of dispersion, the polyolefin aqueous dispersion containing solid particles containing a polyolefin including an ethylene-based polymer having a melting temperature from greater than (115)° C. to (140)° C., polyolefin wax, acrylic dispersant; and an aqueous phase including excess acrylic dispersant; adding diluting water to form a diluted polyolefin aqueous dispersion having (5) to less than (50) wt % solids content; collecting the solid particles; washing the solid particles with a washing agent to remove the excess acrylic dispersant; and removing the washing agent to form a powder having a mean volume average particle size from (10) to (300) ?m, a sphericity from (0.92) to (1.0), a particle size distribution from (1) to less than (2), a particle density from (98)% to (100)%, and a flow rate in a large funnel from (1) to (5) seconds.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process. The process includes (i) melt blending, in an extruder, (a) a polyolefin phase and (b) an aqueous phase in the presence of (c) at least one dispersant selected from an acrylic dispersant, a poloxamer dispersant, and combinations thereof; (ii) producing an interfacial tension from 0.1 dynes/cm to 25 dynes/cm; (iii) forming a polyolefin aqueous dispersion having from 25 wt % to 90 wt % solids content of dispersion; and (iv) removing the water from the polyolefin aqueous dispersion to form a powder. The powder has a mean volume average particle size from 10 ?m to 300 ?m, a sphericity from 0.92 to 1.0, a particle size distribution from 1 to less than 2, and a particle density from 98% to 100%.
