Ultra-high molecular weight ethylene homopolymer with specific properties
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11965052B2) discloses an ultra-high molecular weight ethylene homopolymer with specific characteristics. The polymer has a melt flow rate (MFR21) of 0.01 g/10 min or less, a peak melting point ranging from 137 to 142.0° C, a crystallinity between 60 to 80%, and a density falling within 945 to 980 kg/m3. Additionally, the patent claims the inclusion of an ethylene prepolymer component within the UHMW ethylene homopolymer, with the UHMW component making up to 8 wt. % of the prepolymer component.
Furthermore, the patent extends to articles made from this ultra-high molecular weight ethylene homopolymer, specifically mentioning tape as a potential application. The polymer composition, as described in the patent claims, includes specific ranges for density, peak melting point, ?Hmelt, and crystallinity, ensuring the material's suitability for various applications. The inclusion of an ethylene prepolymer component in the UHMW ethylene homopolymer further enhances its properties, making it a versatile material for the production of articles like tape.
