  • Patent number: 9617356
    Abstract: A crosslinked polyethylene composition comprising 100 parts by weight of polyethylene, 0.05-5 parts by weight of crosslinking agent, 0.03-3 parts by weight of crosslinking aid. Polyethylene is a copolymer, homopolymer and/or a mixture thereof. The crosslinking agent is an organic peroxide having a half-life period longer than 3 minutes at 190° C. and/or a multi-membered heterocyclic alkane consisting of 3 to 6 carbon atoms and 3 to 6 oxygen atoms and/or a derivative thereof. The crosslinking aid is an organic substance containing allyl, maleimido, (meth)acrylate group and/or a polymer having a vinyl content higher than 50%. Preferably, the crosslinking aid is triallyl isocyanate (TAIC), triallyl cyanurate (TAC) or a mixture thereof. The crosslinked polyethylene composition has a crosslinking efficiency index >1000 Nm/g and a ? torque value >15 Nm at 220° C., and has a high safe processing temperature and long crosslinking delay, and therefore is particularly suitable for rotationally molded products.

  • Patent number: 9388296
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention is a crosslinked polyethylene composition having improved processability comprises: 100 parts by weight of polyethylene, 0.03-5 parts by weight of crosslinking agent, 0.03-5 parts by weight of crosslinking promoter, and 0.01-1.5 parts by weight of free radical inhibitor, wherein the polyethylene is a copolymer and/or homopolymer containing at least 90 wt. % of vinyl and at least one C3-C8 ?-alkenyl, and has a density in the range of 0.920-0.970 g/cm3, a melt index in the range of 2.5-17.5 g/10 min; the crosslinking agent is a peroxide crosslinking agent; the crosslinking promoter is an organic substance containing maleimido, (meth)acrylate group, and/or allyl, and/or a polymer containing more than 50% of vinyl; the free radical inhibitor is an organic antioxidant, a quinhydrone and/or a substituted quinhydrone.
