Provided herein is technology relating to depolymerization of polymers and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods and systems for de-crosslinking polyacrylate salt-based polymers and other polymers and compositions made from de-crosslinking polyacrylate salt-based polymers and other polymers.

Depolymerization of polymers

A blow molded article, a method of making a blow molded article and a method of making a preform each having at least one layer comprising a thermoplastic resin and between 0.1% and 20% of an additive having a viscosity of greater than 1,000,000 cst. There is a refractive index difference of at least 0.04 between the additive and the thermoplastic resin. The high viscosity of the additive ensures even distribution of the additive within the thermoplastic resin in discrete domains, while additionally providing for a complex end look balancing opacity, gloss and depth.

Poly(acrylic acid)-based superabsorbent polymer (SAP) in a feed stream is converted into poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in an extensional flow device. The total energy used to degrade the SAP into PAA is less than about 50 MJ/kg SAP.

Recycling of superabsorbent polymer with an extensional flow device

Poly(acrylic acid)-based superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and HOin a feed is converted with microwave (MW) irradiation into poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in the product. The MW total energy used to convert SAP into PAA is less than 50 MJ/kg SAP.

Recycling of superabsorbent polymer via hydrothermal microwave processing

Poly(acrylic acid)-based superabsorbent polymer (SAP) in a feed stream is converted with UV irradiation into poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in a flow system. The UV total energy used to convert SAP into PAA is less than about 50 MJ/kg SAP.

Recycling of superabsorbent polymer via UV irradiation in flow system

The present invention relates to polymeric compositions comprising polylactic acid (PLA), polyolefin, and, optionally, a non reactive melt strength enhancing additive (NRMSEA), as well as articles molded from the compositions and a method of making the compositions.

Polymeric compositions and articles comprising polylactic acid and polyolefin

A pressurized container usable for a pressurizable contain, such as an aerosol dispenser, an aerosol dispenser made therewith and preform therefor. The preform/container/dispenser has a neck at the top. The neck has upper and lower portions. The lower portion transitions into a shoulder, which flares outwardly. The shoulder, in turn, transitions into a sidewall. The lower neck portion/shoulder and/or upper part of the sidewall are cystallized. The invention also comprises a preform for making such a pressurizable container and an aerosol dispenser made therewith.

Components for aerosol dispenser and aerosol dispenser made therewith

A pearlescent container comprising about 86% to about 99.99% of a thermoplastic material having a Total Luminous Transmittance value of at least about 80%, about 0.01% to about 5% of a siloxane fluid having a viscosity of no greater than about 1,000,000 cst, wherein said thermoplastic material and said siloxane fluid are immiscible, forms a lamellar structure, and have a Refractive Index difference of at least about 0.1.

Pearlescent container

A plastic package for dispensing a product in aerosol form having improved crazing resistance and sustainability is disclosed. The plastic package comprises a bottle having a delivery device, a valve to control flow, and a stable plastic package that holds the product when sealed using the valve. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the plastic package comprises PEF.

Plastic packages for dispensing aerosol products having improved crazing resistance and sustainability

A personal skin polishing or microdermabrasion device having a convenient form factor with a applicator attached to a contoured housing with a handle portion. The housing contains a battery, a cordless motor and a gear box to provide an appropriate rotational velocity to the output shaft that is coupled to the applicator. The applicator may be a foam material selected to cushion the skin from excessive abrasion to the particles in a personal care composition to be used with device, and to have a porosity that will enable the foam to interact with the particles and enhance the skin polishing effect.
