The present invention is directed to a polyethylene-polypropylene composition comprising a blend (A) being a recycled material, said blend comprising polypropylene and polyethylene, and a compatibilizer (B) being a CCCterpolymer. Further, the present invention is directed to an article comprising said polyethylene-polypropylene composition and a process for preparing said polyethylene-polypropylene composition. The present invention is also directed to the use of a compatibilizer (B) being a CCCterpolymer for improving the impact-stiffness balance and the morphology of the blend (A).

Compatibilization of recycled polyethylene-polypropylene blends

High quality melt-blown webs having improved barrier properties (3rd drop, cm H2O resp. mbar) and a widened process window. The melt-blown webs show a specific chain structure.

The present invention is directed to a polyethylene-polypropylene composition comprising a blend (A) being a recycled material, said blend comprising polypropylene and polyethylene, and a compatibilizer (B) being a copolymer of 1-butene and ethylene. Further, the present invention is directed to an article comprising said polyethylene-polypropylene composition and a process for preparing said polyethylene-polypropylene composition. The present invention is also directed to the use of a compatibilizer (B) being a copolymer of 1-butene and ethylene for improving the impact-stiffness balance and the morphology of the blend (A).
