A polymer composition of polypropylene copolymer and 1 to 50% by weight of hard resin. The polypropylene copolymer is either an impact copolymer or a random copolymer. The polymer composition can be used to make injection stretch blow molded articles having improved top load strength.

Polymer compositions for injection stretch blow molded articles

A polymeric composition may include a polyolefin or styrenic polymer, a metallic acrylate salt, and an acid neutralizer.

Polymer foams

A polymer composition may include polyolefin having a molecular weight distribution of greater than or equal to 8 as measured by GPC and a metallic acrylate salt. The polymer composition may be characterized by one or more of: a melt flow rate of from 0.1 g/10 min to 10 g/10 min; a melt flow viscosity between 2,000 Pa&#xb7;s and 6,000 Pa&#xb7;s; a die swell of between 2 and 8; and a die swell characteristic time of between 0.3 seconds and 1.2 seconds. The polymer composition may be in the form of foam. A process of forming foam may include supplying polymer composition including metallic acrylate salt and polyolefin resin, and mixing the polymer composition with foaming agent. A foam may include a polymer composition that includes polyolefin and polar polymer and does not include an ionomer. The foam may have a foam density of less than 0.25 g/cc.

An ISBM article is disclosed wherein the ISBM article is made from an HDPE resin having a MI2 of 0.1 to 5.0 dg/min as measured by ASTM D-1238; 190&#xb0; C./2.16 kg, a density of from 0.940 to 0.970 g/cc as measured by ASTM D792, a peak molecular weight of greater than 40,000 g/mol and a zero shear viscosity between 15,000 and 250,000 Pa&#xb7;sec.

Solid-state stretched HDPE

Injection stretch blow molded (ISBM) articles containing a bio-based polymers and methods of forming the same are described herein. The method generally includes providing a propylene-based polymer; contacting the propylene-based polymer with polylactic acid to form a polymeric blend; injection molding the blend into a preform; and stretch-blowing the preform into an article.

A suction canister liner including a one-piece liner having a generally cylindrical shape with an open end, a closed end, a sidewall connecting the open end to the closed end, and a rim extending outward generally perpendicular to the sidewall at the open end. An inner surface of the sidewall at the open end of the liner is configured to receive a lid in a sealing engagement and the rim can engage an open-ended suction canister and support the liner within the suction canister.
