Ethylene-based polymers having a density of 0.952 to 0.968 g/cm, a ratio of HLMI/MI from 185 to 550, an IB parameter from 1.46 to 1.80, a tan δ at 0.1 secfrom 1.05 to 1.75 degrees, and a slope of a plot of viscosity versus shear rate at 100 secfrom 0.18 to 0.28 are described, with low melt flow versions having a HLMI from 10 to 30 g/10 min and a Mw from 250,000 to 450,000 g/mol, and high melt flow versions having a HLMI from 30 to 55 g/10 min and a Mw from 200,000 to 300,000 g/mol. These polymers have the processability of chromium-based resins, but with improved stress crack resistance and topload strength for bottles and other blow molded products.

Dual metallocene polyethylene with improved processability for lightweight blow molded products

Ethylene-based polymers having a density of 0.952 to 0.965 g/cm, a high load melt index (HLMI) from 5 to 25 g/10 min, a weight-average molecular weight from 275,000 to 450,000 g/mol, a number-average molecular weight from 15,000 to 40,000 g/mol, a viscosity at HLMI from 1400 to 4000 Pa-sec, and a tangent delta at 0.1 secfrom 0.65 to 0.98 degrees. These polymers have the processability of chromium-based resins, but with improved stress crack resistance, and can be used in large-part blow molding applications.

Blow molding polymers with improved cycle time, processability, and surface quality

Ethylene-based polymers are generally characterized by a high load melt index of less than 12 g/10 min, a weight-average molecular weight from 200,000 to 550,000 g/mol, a number-average molecular weight from 18,000 to 48,000 g/mol, a CY-a parameter of less than 0.12, a tan &#x3b4; at 0.1 secfrom 0.5 to 0.9 degrees, a tan &#x3b4; at 100 secfrom 0.5 to 0.75 degrees, and a viscosity at 0.001 secfrom 1.3&#xd7;10to 1&#xd7;10Pa-sec. These ethylene polymers can be produced by peroxide-treating a bimodal molecular weight distribution dual metallocene-catalyzed resin, and can be used to produce blow molded bottles and other blow molded products.

Peroxide treated blow molding polymers with increased weight swell and constant die swell

Ethylene-based polymers having a density of 0.952 to 0.968 g/cm, a ratio of HLMI/MI from 185 to 550, an IB parameter from 1.46 to 1.80, a tan &#x3b4; at 0.1 secfrom 1.05 to 1.75 degrees, and a slope of a plot of viscosity versus shear rate at 100 secfrom 0.18 to 0.28 are described, with low melt flow versions having a HLMI from 10 to 30 g/10 min and a Mw from 250,000 to 450,000 g/mol, and high melt flow versions having a HLMI from 30 to 55 g/10 min and a Mw from 200,000 to 300,000 g/mol. These polymers have the processability of chromium-based resins, but with improved stress crack resistance and topload strength for bottles and other blow molded products.

Polymer compositions containing conjugated diene monovinylarene block copolymers and styrenic thermoplastic elastomers are disclosed. These compositions can be used to produce tubing having superior kink resistance properties, and can be a replacement for flexible PVC in various end-use applications, such as in sheet products, film products, tubing products, and adhesive products.

We disclose compositions, comprising (i) from about 25 parts by weight to about 95 parts by weight of a monovinylarene-conjugated diene coupled block copolymer comprising at least one tapered block, having a blocky monovinylarene content of less than 90 wt % of total monovinylarene units, and comprising a terminal monovinylarene block having a molecular weight of less than 60,000 g/mol; and (ii) from about 5 parts by weight to about 75 parts by weight of a monovinylarene-alkyl(meth)acrylate copolymer, comprising (ii-a) monovinylarene units and (ii-b) either alkyl acrylate units, alkyl methacrylate units, or both. The compositions can be used in shrink film or rigid packaging applications.

Binary and ternary blends comprising monovinylarene/conjugated diene block copolymers and monovinylarene/alkyl (meth)acrylate copolymers

A process is provided to recover at least one modifier compound and at least one polar organic compound from a reaction mixture comprising high molecular weight Poly(arylene sulfide) product, low molecular weight P(AS), cyclic and linear P(AS) oligomers, at least one POC, at least one modifier, an alkali metal halide by-product, and water.
