Polyethylene compositions, and articles made therefrom

Abstract

The invention provides ethylene-based composition comprising a blend of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene having an intrinsic viscosity from 5 to 50 deciliters / gram; a thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer having a density of from 0.850 to 0.910 g / cc; and, optionally, a fluoropolymer.

Description

Technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to polyethylene compositions and the use of polyethylene compositions made into shaped articles, such as geomembranes, pipes or pipes, pipe coatings, pipe linings, pipe fittings, and environmental pool linings. Background technique [0002] Geomembranes, pipes, pipes, pipe coatings, pipe linings, or environmental tank linings made of polyolefin (eg, polyethylene resin) are relatively lightweight, easy to handle, and non-corrosive. Existing polyolefin materials can provide relatively high rigidity and relatively high flexibility, so that when forming geomembrane, pipeline, pipe, pipeline coating, pipeline lining or environmental pool lining, they can be suitable for the ground or the ground Used on. However, existing geomembranes, pipes, pipes, pipe coatings, pipe linings or environmental pool linings can withstand high levels of abrasion during installation and contact with slurry or other abrasive...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

To provide another example where existing technology may not adequately handle contact with slurry or abrasive particulate material, HDPE pipe, pipe lining, pipe coating or pipe fittings may not be capable of transporting gritty water-based slurries such as mining slurries, petroleum base paste and / or solvent base paste
