  • Use of organoclay in HDPE nanocomposites to provide barrier properties in containers and film
    Patent number: 7629406
    Abstract: HDPE nanocomposite is made by mixing HDPE with organoclay. Such HDPE nanocomposite contains concentrations of organoclay less than 4 weight percent. Unexpectedly, using less organoclay than that conventionally recommended, results in superior oxygen and water vapor transmission rates for HDPE compounds. The HDPE nanocomposite is useful for packaging films and containers for food or other perishables.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 2007
    Date of Patent: December 8, 2009
    Assignee: PolyOne Corporation
    Inventors: Guoqiang Qian, David Jarus, Vincent Zabrocki
