Abstract
An improved method forms and employs a wax to modify throughputs and melt flow in polymers. The method includes: (a) selecting a solid polymeric material, (b) heating the solid polymeric material in an extruder to produce a molten polymeric material, (c) filtering the molten polymeric material, (d) placing the molten polymeric material through a chemical depolymerization process in a reactor to produce a depolymerized polymeric material, and (e) adding the depolymerized material to a pre-wax mixture to produce a modified polymer.
Claims20
A method for forming a depolymerized wax and employing said depolymerized wax to modify a polymer, the method comprising:
- selecting a polymeric feed;
- heating said polymeric feed to produce a molten polymeric material;
- placing said molten polymeric material through a depolymerization process in a reactor to produce said depolymerized wax;
- and
- mixing said depolymerized wax with said polymer to create a modified polymer.
