Jun 13, 1983

Appl. No.:

6/504032

Inventors:

Osborne K. McKinney - Lake Jackson TX
David P. Flores - Lake Jackson TX
David A. Eversdyk - Angleton TX

Assignee:

The Dow Chemical Company - Midland MI

International Classification:

C08F 2006
C08F12006

US Classification:

5263186

Abstract:

Homogeneous, random interpolymers of ethylene and lesser amounts by weight of olefinically-unsaturated comonomers are prepared in a substantially constant environment, substantially steady-state reaction mixture, in a well-stirred autoclave reactor, in continuous single-phase operation, using elevated synthesis conditions wherein the temperature and pressure are elevated to an amount high enough to approach, reach, or surpass the molecular weight distribution boundary.

Filed:

Mar 28, 1989

Appl. No.:

7/329904

Inventors:

David P. Flores - Lake Jackson TX
Philip E. Alei - Concord CA

Assignee:

The Dow Chemical Company - Midland MI

International Classification:

B32B 2708

US Classification:

4284761

Abstract:

A method for bonding homopolymers or copolymers of vinylidene chloride to polyamides which method comprises blending the polymer or copolymer with low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, homopolymer or copolymer of propylene, or a copolymer of ethylene and acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and a small amount of copolymer of ethylene and a lower alkyl or hydroxyalkyl ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid and then contacting the blend of polymers with the polyamide under heat and pressure. Unexpected adhesion between the Saran blend and the polyamide was found.

International Classification:

C08K 517

US Classification:

524239

Abstract:

The blocking characteristics of ethylene interpolymers containing --COOH groups are reduced by treating such polymers with a solution of an inorganic compound of a Group I-A metal such as trisodium phosphate and an organic compound of a Group I-A metal such as sodium acetate or a combination thereof.
