A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12012504B2) discloses a process for producing a multimodal high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with specific melt flow rate (MFR) ranges and FNCT values. The process involves polymerizing ethylene in multiple stages using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst to create a mixture of ethylene homopolymers and copolymers, resulting in a high-density polyethylene with desired properties. The patent specifies the use of specific alpha-olefin comonomers and reactor types to achieve the desired characteristics of the HDPE.
Furthermore, the patent covers the resulting multimodal HDPE product with specific density, melt flow rate, and tensile modulus values. The patent also extends to the application of the multimodal HDPE in the manufacturing of injection or compression molded articles, particularly caps or closures. The process outlined in the patent allows for the production of high-quality HDPE suitable for various applications, ensuring the material meets stringent performance requirements in terms of mechanical properties and processing capabilities. The patent provides a comprehensive guide for the production and utilization of this specialized multimodal HDPE in the plastics industry.
