Olefinic polymers

Olefin polymers alpha-olefin polymers (PAO), polybutenes and alkylaromatics, in particular the dialkylbenzenes (DAB). This class of compounds is the most widespread and accounted for 44% of the synthetic base market in France in 1992. [Pg.277]

Olefin fibers, also called polyolefin fibers, are defined as manufactured fibers in which the fiber-forming substance is a synthetic polymer of at least 85 wt % ethylene, propjiene, or other olefin units (1). Several olefin polymers are capable of forming fibers, but only polypropylene [9003-07-0] (PP) and, to a much lesser extent, polyethylene [9002-88-4] (PE) are of practical importance. Olefin polymers are hydrophobic and resistant to most solvents. These properties impart resistance to staining, but cause the polymers to be essentially undyeable in an unmodified form. [Pg.312]

Polyethylene. Polyethylene remains the largest volume film and sheet raw material. It is available in a wide range of types, with variations in copolymers, homopolymers, molecular weight, and other factors contributing to a long Hst of resins. Resins are designed specifically for end use, and in addition blends of the various types may be used by processors to optimize properties, processibiUty, and economics. Almost two-thirds of the volume of all polyethylene resins are used in film or sheet appHcations (see Olefin polymers). [Pg.378]

Olefin Polymers. The flame resistance of polyethylene can be increased by the addition of either a halogen synergist system or hydrated fillers. Similar flame-retarder packages are used for polypropylene (see Olefin polymers). Typical formulations of the halogen synergist type are shown in Table 15 the fiUer-type formulations are in Table 16. [Pg.462]

The most common VI improvers are methacrylate polymers and copolymers, acrylate polymers (see Acrylic ester polymers), olefin polymers and copolymers, and styrene—butadiene copolymers. The degree of VI improvement from these materials is a function of the molecular weight distribution of the polymer. VI improvers are used in engine oils, automatic transmission fluids, multipurpose tractor fluids, hydrautic fluids, and gear lubricants. Their use permits the formulation of products that provide satisfactory lubrication over a much wider temperature range than is possible using mineral oils alone. [Pg.265]

About 35% of total U.S. LPG consumption is as chemical feedstock for petrochemicals and polymer iatermediates. The manufacture of polyethylene, polypropylene, and poly(vinyl chloride) requires huge volumes of ethylene (qv) and propylene which, ia the United States, are produced by thermal cracking/dehydrogenation of propane, butane, and ethane (see Olefin polymers Vinyl polymers). [Pg.187]

Polyethylene. Traditional melt spun methods have not utilized polyethylene as the base polymer because the physical properties obtained have been lower compared to those obtained with polypropylene. Advances in polyethylene technology may result in the commercialization of new spunbonded stmctures having characteristics not attainable with polypropylene. Although fiber-grade polyethylene resin was announced in late 1986 (11,12), it has seen limited acceptance because of higher costs and continuing improvements in polypropylene resin technology (see Olefin POLYMERS, POLYETHYLENE). [Pg.163]

Second, in the early 1950s, Hogan and Bank at Phillips Petroleum Company, discovered (3,4) that ethylene could be catalyticaHy polymerized into a sohd plastic under more moderate conditions at a pressure of 3—4 MPa (435—580 psi) and temperature of 70—100°C, with a catalyst containing chromium oxide supported on siUca (Phillips catalysts). PE resins prepared with these catalysts are linear, highly crystalline polymers of a much higher density of 0.960—0.970 g/cnr (as opposed to 0.920—0.930 g/cnf for LDPE). These resins, or HDPE, are currentiy produced on a large scale, (see Olefin polymers, HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE). [Pg.367]

An independent development of a high pressure polymerization technology has led to the use of molten polymer as a medium for catalytic ethylene polymerization. Some reactors previously used for free-radical ethylene polymerization at a high pressure (see Olefin polymers, low density polyethylene) have been converted to accommodate catalytic polymerization, both stirred-tank and tubular autoclaves operating at 30—200 MPa (4,500—30,000 psig) and 170—350°C (57,83,84). CdF Chimie uses a three-zone high pressure autoclave at zone temperatures of 215, 250, and 260°C (85). Residence times in all these reactors are short, typically less than one minute. [Pg.387]

The chemical iadustry manufactures a large variety of semicrystalline ethylene copolymers containing small amounts of a-olefins. These copolymers are produced ia catalytic polymerisation reactions and have densities lower than those of ethylene homopolymers known as high density polyethylene (HDPE). Ethylene copolymers produced ia catalytic polymerisation reactions are usually described as linear ethylene polymers, to distiaguish them from ethylene polymers containing long branches which are produced ia radical polymerisation reactions at high pressures (see Olefin POLYMERS, LOWDENSITY polyethylene). [Pg.394]
