Abstract
A polymeric composition and methods of making and using the same that includes a polyolefin polymer and 100 ppm to 10,000 ppm of a polyamide is disclosed. The composition can be substantially free of a polyolefin polymer/polyamide compatibilizer.
Claims26
A polymeric composition comprising:
- a polyolefin polymer;
- and
- 100 ppm to 10,000 ppm of a polyamide;
- wherein the composition is substantially free of a polyolefin polymer/polyamide compatibilizer.
A method of reducing melt fracture in an extruded polymeric composition, the method comprising adding 100 ppm to 10,000 ppm of a polyamide to a polyolefin polymer prior to extruding the resulting polymeric composition, wherein the polymeric composition is substantially free of a polyolefin/polyamide compatibilizer.
A polyethylene resin composition comprising:
- (a) 89 wt. % to 99 wt. % of a polyethylene;
- (b) 1.0 wt. % to 1.0 wt. % of a polyamide;
- and
- (c) 0 wt. % to 1.0 wt. % of additives;
- wherein the polyethylene resin composition is substantially free of a polyolefin polymer/polyamide compatibilizer.
