  • Patent number: 10493732
    Abstract: A plastic film for use as a temporary vehicle seat cover to be installed by an automotive manufacturer. The seat cover protects the vehicle's seat from dirt before the vehicle is purchased by a consumer. The plastic film also has minimal acoustic properties so that the vehicle seat does not interfere with routine automotive acoustic testing known as the Buzz, Squeak, and Rattle test. The plastic film also has a high degree of visual clarity to allow a potential consumer to view the vehicle's seat. The plastic film further has a differential of the coefficient of friction on the opposed sides of the film to minimize movement and noise of the film when a driver is in the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7745527
    Abstract: A processable polypropylene composition comprising a mixture of a major amount of a syndiotactic polypropylene and a minor amount of polyethylene wax. The syndiotactic polypropylene has a designated recrystallization temperature, an original minor melting peak and a higher original melting peak. The polyethylene wax provides a recrystallization temperature of the mixture that is greater than the recrystallization temperature of the syndiotactic polypropylene alone and also provides for a minor melting peak and a major melting peak of the mixture, which has a temperature difference which is lower than the difference between the original minor melting peak and the original major melting peak of the syndiotactic polypropylene alone. A process for the production of polypropylene product employing a polyethylene-syndiotactic polypropylene composition as described which is heated to provide a plastic mass of the syndiotactic polypropylene and polyethylene which is processed to provide the product.

  • Patent number: 7390574
    Abstract: Polyolefin substrates, for example polypropylene, polyethylene or thermoplastic olefin molded parts, are made scratch resistant by the incorporation therein of an additive combination of a maleated alpha-olefin functionalized with a long chain alcohol or long chain amine and a primary or secondary fatty acid amide. The present polyolefins exhibit good weatherability, scratch resistance, good processability, good mechanical strength, good gloss retention and are non-sticky. The functionalized maleated alpha-olefin is for example the ester or half ester of maleated C18-C26 alpha-olefin with tallow fatty alcohol. The fatty acid amide is for example oleyl palmitamide or stearyl erucamide.
