Melt-processable compositions having silicone-containing polymeric process additives and synergists.

Melt-processable compositions having silicone-containing polymeric process additive and synergist

The multilayer film serves as a laminate. In some embodiments, the film is a multilayered structure that, in its base form, encompasses an intermediate layer with first and second outer layer affixed to opposing sides of the intermediate layer. In some embodiments, the first outer layer is a semi-crystalline fluoropolymer. In some embodiments, the intermediate layer includes a polyester and the second outer layer is an olefinic polymer.

Fluoropolymer containing laminates

The multilayer film serves as a laminate. The film is a multilayered structure that, in its base form, encompasses an intermediate layer with first and second outer layer affixed to opposing sides of the intermediate layer. The first outer layer is a semi-crystalline fluoropolymer. The intermediate layer includes a polyester and the second outer layer is an olefinic polymer. The layers are bonded together in the noted order to provide the multilayer film.

An extrudable composition comprising a major amount of a thermoplastic host polymer, a fluorocarbon polymer and a dendritic material wherein the extrudate demonstrates reduced levels of surface defects.

Extrudable thermoplastic compositions

A melt processable polymer composition that comprises a thermoplastic non-aliphatic host polymer and a minor but effective amount of a fluoropolymer processing aid, and a method of improving the melt processability of the host polymer are provided.

Melt processable thermoplastic polymer composition

A polymer processing aid composition, a melt processable polymer composition that uses the polymer processing aid, and a method of improving the melt processability of a thermoplastic polymer are provided. The polymer processing aid composition comprises a fluoropolymer that comprises interpolymerized units derived from a perfluorovinyl ether, preferably one having the formula CF &boxH;CF&mdash;(OCF CF(CF )) OR where a has a value of 0 to 3 and R is a perfluoroaliphatic (preferably perfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkoxy) having from 1 to 8 (preferably 1 to 3) carbon atoms.

A polymer processing aid composition, a melt processable polymer composition that uses the polymer processing aid, and a method of improving the melt processability of a thermoplastic polymer are provided. The polymer processing aid composition comprises a multimodal fluoropolymer that preferably comprises interpolymerized units derived from an ethylenically unsaturated fluoromonomer tetrafluoroethylene and at least one ethylenically copolymerizable alpha-olefin monomer.

Polymer processing additive containing a multimodal fluoropolymer and melt processable thermoplastic polymer composition employing the same

A multimodal fluoroplastic terpolymer composition is provided. The terpolymer can be extruded at high extrusion speeds without having to reduce its molecular weight. The terpolymer is useful by itself; in combination with conductive fillers to provide an electrostatically dissipative composition; and as a polymer processing aid. The polymer has a low molecular weight component, a high molecular weight component and, optionally an ultra-high molecular weight component.
