Official abstract text for this publication.
Synergistic visbreaking composition of peroxide and a hydroxylamine ester for increasing the visbreaking efficiency for polypropylene polymers at melt extrusion temperatures below 250° C. and its use in visbreaking polypropylene. The present invention is furthermore related to the use of such visbroken polypropylene polymers for producing melt blown non-wovens with improved barrier properties.
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of forming melt blown non-wovens with improved barrier properties comprising a) providing a polypropylene homo- or copolymer, b) visbreaking said polypropylene homo- or copolymer by melt extrusion, whereby the melt extrusion temperature is from 200° C. to 245° C. in the presence of a synergistic visbreaking composition comprising peroxide (i) selected from the group consisting of 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butyl-peroxy)hexane, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butyl-peroxy)hexyne-3, dicumyl peroxide, di-tert-butyl-peroxide, tert-butyl-cumyl-peroxide, and bis (tert-butylperoxy-isopropyl)benzene; and hydroxylamine ester (ii) selected from the group consisting of sterically hindered amine derivatives of the formula: whereby the amounts of peroxide (i) and hydroxylamine ester (ii) are in the range of from 50 wt % (i):50 wt % (ii) to 85 wt % (i):15 wt % (ii) thereby providing a visbroken polypropylene homo- or copolymer; and c) producing melt blown non-wovens from said visbroken polypropylene homo- or copolymer. 2. The method of claim 1 , in the absence of sulfur containing compounds. 3. The method of claim 1 , whereby peroxide (i) and/or hydroxylamine ester (ii) are used as a masterbatch/masterbatches. 4. The method of claim 1 , whereby peroxide (i) and/or hydroxylamine ester (ii) are added as mixture to the polypropylene homo- or copolymers to be visbroken. 5. The method of claim 1 , whereby peroxide (i) and/or hydroxylamine ester (ii) are added separately to the polypropylene homo- or copolymers to be visbroken.
