According to GlobalData’s company profile on OMV, Corrosion resistant fuel additives was a key innovation area identified from patents. OMV's grant share as of January 2024 was 50%. Grant share is based on the ratio of number of grants to total number of patents.
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240034849A1) describes a crosslinkable polymer composition designed for use in track resistant cables, such as power cables or optical cables. The composition includes a high-density ethylene homo- or copolymer and a copolymer of ethylene with a silane groups-containing comonomer. The polymer composition must pass specific tracking resistance tests to meet the required standards. Additionally, the composition may include other components such as very low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, fillers, UV stabilizers, antioxidants, pigments, and elastomeric ethylene copolymers to enhance its properties.
Furthermore, the patent application outlines the method for manufacturing the polymer composition, which involves compounding or dry blending the high-density ethylene homo- or copolymer with the copolymer of ethylene with a silane groups-containing comonomer. The resulting composition is intended to increase track resistance and fire retardancy in wires or cables. The composition can be crosslinked using a crosslinking agent or moisture and a condensation catalyst. The patent also covers the use of this polymer composition in wires or cables to improve their track resistance and fire retardancy properties along their length.
