Abstract
Reduction of dust formation for particleized resin is achieved by adding low density high molecular weight polyethylene to molten resin at a temperature and under conditions sufficient to cause the polyethylene to become dispersed within the resin. The resin/polyethylene mixture is then formed into solid particles. The addition of low density, high molecular weight polyethylene significantly reduces the generation of dust during handling, such as in the particleizing and packaging stages of the manufacturing process, while providing resin particles with higher effective softening points as compared to resin particles augmented with polyethylene wax.
