Problems solved by technology

For example, a particular nucleating agent may be very effective at increasing the peak polymer recrystallization temperature of a thermoplastic polymer, but the rapid rate of crystallization induced by such a nucleating agent may cause inconsistent shrinkage of a molded part produced from a thermoplastic polymer composition containing the nucleating agent.
Such a nucleating agent may also be ineffective in increasing the stiffness of the molded part to a desirable degree.

example 1

[0071]The following examples demonstrates the production of polymer compositions according to the invention. The example further describes certain physical properties exhibited by the polymer compositions.

[0072]Fourteen polymer compositions (Samples 1A-1N) were produced with additive compositions as described in Table 1 below. The polymer compositions were produced by individually adding the necessary salts to the polymer. In the table, “PE” denotes the 2,2′-methylene-bis-(4,6-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphate anion, and “AC” denotes the benzoate anion, except for Sample 1J in which the anion is the 4-tert-butylbenzoate anion. The mole percentage (mol. %) of anions reported in the table is the mole percentage of the total amount of phosphate ester anions and aromatic carboxylate anions present in the additive composition. The mole percentage (mol. %) of cations reported in the table is the mole percentage of the total amount of sodium cations, aluminum (III) cations, lithium cations, a...

[0079]Twelve polymer compositions (Samples 3A-3L) were produced with additive compositions as described in Table 5 below. The polymer compositions were produced by individually adding the necessary salts to the polymer. In the table, “PE” denotes the 2,2′-methylene-bis-(4,6-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphate anion, “CD” denotes the cis-endo-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylate anion for Samples 3A and 3B and the cis-hexahydrophthalate anion for Sample 3C, and “AC” denotes the benzoate anion, except for Sample 3I in which the anion is the 4-tert-butylbenzoate anion. The mole percentage (mol. %) of anions reported in the table is the mole percentage of the total amount of phosphate ester anions, cycloaliphatic dicarboxylate anions, and aromatic carboxylate anions present in the additi...

Abstract

An additive composition comprises phosphate ester anions conforming to a specified structure, aromatic carboxylate anions, optionally cycloaliphatic dicarboxylate anions, aluminum (III) cations, sodium cations, optionally calcium cations, optionally lithium cations, and optionally zinc (II) cations. The anions are present in the additive composition in specified molar percentages. The cations are also present in the additive composition in specified molar percentages.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of and, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 120, claims priority to and the benefit of the filing date of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 664,146 filed on Jul. 31, 2017, which prior application claims, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 119(e), priority to and the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 373,703 filed on Aug. 11, 2016.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This application and the invention described herein is generally directed to additive compositions suitable for use in polymers. In one embodiment, the additive composition is a nucleating agent for polyolefins, such as polypropylene polymers.BACKGROUND[0003]Several nucleating agents for thermoplastic polymers are known in the art. These nucleating agents generally function by forming nuclei or providing sites for the formation and / or growth of crystals in the thermoplastic polymer as it solidifies from a molten state. The n...
