Polypropylene Compounds With Enhanced Haptics

View page
US Patent:
20140288225, Sep 25, 2014
Filed:
Jun 11, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/302209
Inventors:
- Fowlerville MI, US
Sameer G. Mehta - Novi MI, US
Vaibhav Vishnu Apte - Farmington Hills MI, US
Laura Therese Shereda - Livonia MI, US
Assignee:
ASAHI KASEI PLASTICS NORTH AMERICA, INC. - Fowlerville MI
International Classification:
C08L 23/16
C08L 53/00
C08L 53/02
US Classification:
524451, 524504, 524456
Abstract:
A polymeric composition is a blend of one or more heterophasic copolymers of propylene and ethylene produced by a multistep polymerization, wherein the heterophasic copolymers comprise a low crystalline matrix component and a soft amorphous elastomeric component, in which both the matrix component and the soft amorphous elastomeric component contain greater than 55% by weight propylene; one or more additional elastomeric components selected from the group of an ethylene/α-olefin C-Ccopolymer with a total ethylene concentration of greater than or equal to 65% by weight; and a propylene/α-olefin C, C-Ccopolymer with a total propylene concentration of greater than or equal to 65% by weight; 5-65% by weight of the total composition of one or more inorganic or organic reinforcement materials; and 0.01-4% by weight of the total composition of a maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene compatibilizer or coupling agent. The polymeric composition has a low crystallinity of less than 30 J/gram measured by DSC. The total elastomer content of the polymeric composition is greater than 50% by weight, and the overall polymeric composition has an ethylene concentration of greater than 10% by weight.

Polypropylene Compounds With High Impact Performance And Improved Stress Whitening Resistance

US Patent:
20140288228, Sep 25, 2014
Filed:
Mar 18, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/218443
Inventors:
- Fowlerville MI, US
Michael James BALOW - Brighton MI, US
Vaibhav Vishnu APTE - Farmington Hills MI, US
Laura Therese Shereda - Fowlerville MI, US
Assignee:
Asahi Kasei Plastics North America, Inc. - Fowlerville MI
International Classification:
C08L 23/14
US Classification:
524528, 525240, 525 95, 525 98
Abstract:
The present invention relates to polypropylene compositions with a balance of high strength, good clarity, excellent stress whitening resistance, and excellent impact properties—especially at low temperatures—for use in demanding plastics applications. Blends consist of both homopolymer and random copolymer polypropylene fractions, as well as propylene-ethylene elastomers and styrenic based elastomers. The invention also covers molded articles made from these blends.

Reinforced Hdpe Compounds With Improved Mechanical Properties And Methods Of Making Same

US Patent:
20140094547, Apr 3, 2014
Filed:
Sep 27, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/039885
Inventors:
- Fowlerville MI, US
Steven James KAUFFMAN - Fowlerville MI, US
Michael James BALOW - Fowlerville MI, US
Laura Therese SHEREDA - Fowlerville MI, US
Assignee:
ASAHI KASEI PLASTICS NORTH AMERICA, INC. - Fowlerville MI
International Classification:
C08L 23/06
US Classification:
524153, 524451
Abstract:
A thermoplastic polyolefin composition comprising, based on the total mass of the composition, 10-75% by mass of high density polyethylene (HDPE), 8-30% by mass of elastomer, and 5-45% by mass of filler, wherein the composition has a Melt Flow Rate of 1.0-20 g/10 min according to ISO 1133 at 190 C./2.16 kg. The thermoplastic polyolefin composition is produced in a method comprising batch mixing or continuous mixing the HDPE, elastomer, and filler to form a melt blend, and cooling the melt blend to give the product. In addition, the thermoplastic polyolefin composition can be injection molded to form an article, which is preferably an automotive body part. The thermoplastic polyolefin composition exhibits improved heat deflection temperatures, improved ductile failure mode in low temperature atmosphere, improved flexural modulus and lower specific cost compared to polypropylene based thermoplastic polyolefin compositions.
