Abstract

A propylene terpolymer is constructed that is particularly well suited for use in heat seal applications. The propylene terpolymer, for instance, can be used to form a heat seal layer on a multilayer film. The heat seal layer can be used to bond two opposing layers of film together for forming packages and other articles. The propylene terpolymer is formed with an increased random ethylene distribution that results in reduced polymer crystallinity, reduced melting temperature, and lower heat seal temperature.

The polypropylene polymer compositions are made by combining a first polypropylene polymer with a second polypropylene polymer. The combination of polymers has been found to produce a composition having high stiffness properties in addition to excellent toughness properties. In addition, the polymer composition has good flow properties for being molded into various products and articles. Of particular advantage, the different polypropylene polymers can be produced at relatively high catalyst activity, especially in comparison to high crystalline polymers made in the past.

Abstract

Polypropylene polymer compositions are disclosed that can be formulated to have excellent clarity properties in conjunction with excellent impact resistance properties at subzero temperatures. The polypropylene polymer compositions are heterophasic compositions containing a first phase polymer combined with a second phase polymer. The first phase polymer is a polypropylene and alpha-olefin copolymer while the second phase polymer is also a polypropylene and alpha-olefin random copolymer. The second phase polymer contains relatively high amounts of ethylene. The increased amounts of ethylene in the second phase polymer were found to dramatically improve impact resistance at subzero temperatures.

The polymer product can then be discharged from the product discharge tank to a blow tank and the pressure of the blow tank is measured. The pressure measured in the blow tank can then be used to control the reactor by changing one or more reactor operating inputs based on the measured blow tank pressure.
