Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A polyolefin additive comprising chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate, wherein the alkyl has greater than 10 carbon atoms is provided. Further provided are a method for improving the sag resistance of polyolefins and sag resistant polyolefins.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A polyolefin composition comprising a polymer blend comprising one or more polyolefins and from 1 to 5 percent by weight of a polyolefin additive comprising chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate, wherein the alkyl has greater than 10 carbon atoms and wherein the alkyl of the alkyl (meth)acrylate is selected from the group consisting of stearyl, lauryl, and combinations thereof. 2. The polyolefin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the chlorinated polyolefin is chlorinated polyethylene. 3. The polyolefin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate is selected from the group consisting of lauryl methacrylate grafted chlorinated polyethylene, stearyl methacrylate grafted chlorinated polyethylene, and combinations thereof. 4. The polyolefin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate comprises from 40 to 60 wt % chlorinated polyolefin and from 40 to 60 wt % alkyl (meth) acrylate. 5. A method of improving the sag resistance of an olefin-based polymer comprising: adding from 1 to 5 wt % chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate to one or more polyolefins, wherein the alkyl of the alkyl (meth)acrylate is selected from the group consisting of stearyl, lauryl, and combinations thereof. 6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the one or more polyolefins are selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, high density polyethylene, and linear low density polyethylene. 7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the chlorinated polyolefin is chlorinated polyethylene. 8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate is selected from the group consisting of lauryl methacrylate grafted chlorinated polyethylene, stearyl methacrylate grated chlorinated polyethylene, and combinations thereof. 9. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate comprises from 40 to 60 wt % chlorinated polyolefin and from 40 to 60 wt % alkyl (meth) acrylate. 10. A sag resistant polyolefin composition comprising: one or more polyolefins; and from 1 to 5 wt % chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate, wherein the alkyl has greater than 10 carbon atoms, and wherein the alkyl of the alkyl (meth)acrylate is selected from the group consisting of stearyl, lauryl, and combinations thereof. 11. The sag resistant polyolefin according to claim 10 , wherein the one or more polyolefins is selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, high density polyethylene, and linear low density polyethylene. 12. The sag resistant polyolefin according to claim 10 , wherein the chlorinated polyolefin is chlorinated polyethylene. 13. The sag resistant polyolefin according to claim 10 , wherein the chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate is selected from the group consisting of lauryl methacrylate grafted chlorinated polyethylene, stearyl methacrylate grated chlorinated polyethylene, and combinations thereof. 14. The sag resistant polyolefin according to claim 10 , wherein the chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate comprises from 40 to 60 wt % chlorinated polyolefin and from 40 to 60 wt % alkyl (meth) acrylate. 15. The sag resistant polyolefin according to claim 10 , wherein a milled and molded test strip produced from the sag resistant polyolefin exhibits a sag resistance greater than that exhibited by the one or more polyolefins in the absence of the chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate.
