CROSS-LINKED POLYETHYLENE RESIN FOR LARGE PART BLOW MOLDING

The invention relates generally to the production of polyethylene, and particularly to the production of polyethylene that is mixed with peroxides during extrusion to increase the level of long-chain branching. In an aspect, the polyethylene is used for large part blow molding (LPBM) applications. I...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates generally to the production of polyethylene, and particularly to the production of polyethylene that is mixed with peroxides during extrusion to increase the level of long-chain branching. In an aspect, the polyethylene is used for large part blow molding (LPBM) applications. In an embodiment, the cross-linked polyethylene has a density of from about 0.945 g/cc to about 0.965 g/cc, a molecular weight distribution (MWD) of at least from 10 to 25, for example, and a high load melt index (HLMI) (ASTM D1238 21.6 kg) of from about 1 dg/min to about 30 dg/min. In an embodiment, the cross-linked polyethylene is comprised of at least one olefin having an ESCR of 100 hours to 1000 hours, and a flexural modulus of 120,000 psi to 250,000 psi. ® KIPO & WIPO 2009
