Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to processing aids for the extrusion of thermoplastic polyolefins and works well in the absence of fluorinated alkene based fluoropolymers.
- surface defects may occur including those referred to as sharkskin, snakeskin and orange peel, and each type of surface defect is generally related to the rheology of the polymer melt.
- a particularly severe form of surface defect which may occur is “melt fracture” which is believed to result when the shear rate at the surface of the polyolefin polymer is sufficiently high that the surface of the polymer begins to fracture. That is, there is a slippage of the surface of the extruded polymer relative to the body of the polymer melt. The surface generally cannot flow fast enough to keep up with the body of the extrudate and a fracture in the melt occurs resulting in a severe loss of surface properties for the extrudate polymer.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,125,547 discloses blends of polyethylene and small amounts of fluoropolymers to provide a smooth surface on a polyethylene extrudate at high extrusion speeds.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,222,314 discloses blends of polyethylene and low molecular weight polyethylene glycol to provide heat sealable film which is suitable for printing.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,013,622 teaches the use of low molecular weight polyethylene glycol to reduce the incidence of "breakdowns" during the manufacture of polyethylene film.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,538 teaches that pinstriping may be reduced during the extrusion of a polyolefin into film by the use of a combination of (i) a polyethylene glycol; (ii) a hindered phenolic antioxidant; and (iii) a selected inorganic antiblock material.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,986,005 describes the use of a combination of an elastomeric fluoropolymer and a poly amide/poly ether block copolymer for use as a polymer processing aid.
- U.S. Pat. No. 11,359,079 describes the use of a fluoropolymer or a silicone - containing polymer as polymer processing aids in combination with a polyethylene glycol and a metal salt of a carboxylic acid, a sulfonic acid, or an alkyl sulfate.
- the metal salt of a carboxylic acid was employed to increase the decomposition temperatures of the polyethylene glycol, and was not, on its own, shown to have polymer processing aid capabilities.
- Fluoroelastomers and fluoropolymers are expensive materials so there is an economic incentive to avoid their use. Further, perfluorinated alkanes and perfluorinated surfactant compounds, such as for example, perfluoroctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid, which are used during the production of fluoropolymers, are increasingly being recognized for possible negative environmental impacts.
- U.S. Pat. No. 10,982,079 also details the performance of polymer processing aids in the absence of added fluoropolymers.
- the polymer processing aid comprises a high molecular weight polyethylene glycol which has improved thermal stability by virtue of the inclusion of a metal salt of a carboxylic acid, a sulfonic acid, or an alkyl sulfate.
- a metal salt of a carboxylic acid, alone, as a polymer process aid was not demonstrated.

- Typical operating pressures for a tubular reactor are from 2,000 to 3,500 bar.
- Operating temperatures can range from 140 to 340°C.
- the reactor is designed to have a large length to diameter ratio (for example, from 400 to 40,000) and may have multiple reaction zones which take the shape of an elongated coil.
- High gas velocities (at least 10 m/s) are used to provide optimal heat transfer. Conversions for multi-zone systems are typically 22 to 30% per pass but can be as high as 36 to 40%.

- a laboratory scale twin screw extruder will operate within the following envelope of conditions: the barrel will be heated to a temperature from about 180 to 210°C, or from about 190 to 200°C; the screw speed will operate at from about 50 to about 150 rpm, or from about 100 to about 130 rpm.
- the specific conditions for the operation of any specific extruder can readily be determined by one skilled in the art by non-inventive testing in view of the foregoing envelope of conditions.
- the extruder will typically extrude a thermoplastic composition as strands which are then cooled and cut into pellets for subsequent use, such as for use in a film extrusion.
- the extruder used for the final extrusion may also be a single or twin screw extruder.
- the die In blown film extrusion, the die may be a slot die or it may be an annular ring die extruding a film of the polyolefin about a stable bubble of air. In blown film extrusion, the film is collapsed after passing over or about the bubble.
- a typical extruder contains one (or two) flighted screws which rotate within a cylinder or “barrel”.
- a thermoplastic polyolefin is sheared between the barrel and the screw by the stresses caused by the rotation of the screw.
- the barrel of the extruder may be heated. The shear and/or heat cause the thermoplastic polyolefin to melt and the action of the flighted screw transports it along the length of the extruder. The molten thermoplastic polyolefin extrudate is then forced through a die to form the desired plastic part.
- a melt extrusion process is a blown film melt extrusion process.
- thermoplastic polyolefin composition In a blown film melt extrusion process an extruder heats, melts, mixes and conveys a thermoplastic polyolefin composition. Once molten, the thermoplastic composition is forced through an annular die to produce a thermoplastic tube. In the case of co-extrusion, multiple extruders are employed to produce a multilayer thermoplastic tube.
- the temperature of the extrusion process is primarily determined by the thermoplastic polyolefin composition being processed, for example the melting temperature or glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic polyolefin composition and the desired viscosity of the melt. In the case of thermoplastic polyolefins, typical extrusion temperatures are from 33O°F to 550°F (166°C to 288°C).
- the thermoplastic tube Upon exit from the annular die, the thermoplastic tube is inflated with air, cooled, solidified and pulled through a pair of nip rollers. Due to air inflation, the tube increases in diameter forming a bubble of desired size. Due to the pulling action of the nip rollers the bubble is stretched in the machine direction. Thus, the bubble is stretched in two directions: the transverse direction (TD) where the inflating air increases the diameter of the bubble; and the machine direction (MD) where the nip rollers stretch the bubble. In the blown film process, air is also blown on the external bubble circumference to cool the thermoplastic polyolefin as it exits the annular die.
- TD transverse direction
- MD machine direction
- the final width of the film is determined by controlling the inflating air or the internal bubble pressure; in other words, increasing or decreasing bubble diameter.
- Film thickness is controlled primarily by increasing or decreasing the speed of the nip rollers to control the draw-down rate.
- the bubble or tube is collapsed and may be slit in the machine direction thus creating sheeting.
- Each sheet may be wound into a roll of film.
- Each roll may be further slit to create film of the desired width.
- Each roll of film may be further processed into a variety of consumer products.
- the cast film process is similar in that a single or multiple extruder(s) may be used; however the various thermoplastic materials are metered into a flat die and extruded into a monolayer or multilayer sheet, rather than a tube. In the cast film process the extruded sheet is solidified on a chill roll.
- a polymer processing aid is used during the melt extrusion of a thermoplastic polyolefin into a thermoplastic polyolefin extrudate.
- the use of a polymer processing aid during the melt extrusion of a thermoplastic polyolefin into a thermoplastic polyolefin extrudate decreases melt defects during the extrusion of the thermoplastic polyolefin.
- the use of a polymer processing aid during the melt extrusion of a thermoplastic polyolefin into a thermoplastic polyolefin extrudate increases the shear rate at which the melt extrusion process may be operated without melt defects in the thermoplastic polyolefin extrudate, compared to the shear rate at which melt defects occur in the thermoplastic polyolefin extrude in the absence of the polymer processing aid.
- the use of a polymer processing aid during the melt extrusion of a thermoplastic polyolefin into a thermoplastic polyolefin extrudate increases the shear rate at which the melt extrusion process may be operated without melt defects in the thermoplastic polyolefin extrudate, by at least 10 percent, or at least 25 percent, or at least 50 percent, or at least 75 percent, or at least 100 percent, or at least 200 percent, or at least 300 percent, or at least 400 percent, or at least 500 percent, compared to the shear rate at which melt defects occur in the thermoplastic polyolefin extrudate in the absence of the polymer processing aid.
