20080299857 | OLEFIN BLOCK COMPOSITIONS FOR HEAVY WEIGHT STRETCH FABRICS - Heavy weight stretch fabrics comprising ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer are described. The fabric often has a weight of at least 10 ounces per square yard measured according to ASTM 3776 and has a stretch of at least 10 percent measured according to ASTM D3107. These fabrics exhibit excellent chemical, resistance (for example chlorine or caustic resistance) and durability, that is they retain their shape and feel over repeated exposure to processing conditions, such as stone-washing, dye-stripping, PET-dyeing and the like, and industrial laundry conditions. | 12-04-2008 |
20090071197 | STRETCHABLE FABRIC SUITABLE FOR SWIMWEAR APPLICATIONS - The present invention relates to new fabric designed for improved utility in swimwear applications, as well as the method for producing such fabric as well as garments made from such fabrics. The fabric can be characterized in terms elongation, instantaneous fabric growth at 15% strain and dimensional stability. The fabric comprises an elastic crosslinked polyolefin elastic yarn and a second yarn selected from the group consisting of polyester, nylon, and polypropylene. | 03-19-2009 |
20110082258 | BLOCK COMPOSITIONS IN THERMOPLASTIC VULCANIZATE APPLICATIONS - Embodiments of the invention provide block composites and their use in thermoplastic vulcanizate compounds. | 04-07-2011 |
20110306715 | OLEFIN BLOCK COPOLYMER COMPOSITION WITH LOW TACK - Disclosed are oil-extended olefin block copolymer compositions with low, or no, tack.

20140364572 | HIGH FREQUENCY WELDABLE POLYOLEFIN COMPOSITIONS INCLUDING POLAR POLYMERS - A polyolefin-based composition showing improved weldability using high frequency (HF) includes (1) a base polymer selected from (a) a homogeneously branched, linear or substantially linear ethylene/α-olefin copolymer; (b) a homogeneously branched propylene/α-olefin copolymer; or (c) a combination thereof; and (2) at least one secondary component selected from (a) an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer having from 5 to 40 wt % vinyl acetate; (b) an ethylene-ethyl acrylate having from 5 to 25 wt % ethyl acrylate; and (c) a combination thereof. The combination of the specified polyolefin with the specified secondary component, which is a polar polymer, makes these formulations HF weldable, with a cohesive welding failure, a weld strength for 10 mil thick film greater than 7 lb/in (1.23 N/mm) at a weld time of less than or equal to 6 seconds. The formulations may also exhibit good calendering processability and mechanical properties. | 12-11-2014 |
20150018478 | HIGH FREQUENCY WELDABLE POLYOLEFIN COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING ZEOLITES - A dielectrically-heatable inventive method employing a polyolefin-based formulation including at least 5 weight percent of a zeolite, ion exchanged with a Group I or II metal, wherein the zeolite includes 21 or less wt % of water, based on zeolite weight, measured as LOI at 575° C. for 1 hour; and a base polymer selected from certain homogeneously branched linear or substantially linear ethylene/α-olefin or homogeneously branched propylene/?-olefin copolymers copolymers, provided that the base polymer has a melt temperature less than 100° C. This formulation may be used to prepare a high frequency (HF) welded article having improved failure and welding strength properties, particularly a weld strength in excess of 7 lb/in (1.23 N/mm). | 01-15-2015 |
20150025165 | FOAMABLE COMPOSITIONS, FOAMS AND ARTICLES THEREOF - A foamable composition comprising at least an olefin block copolymer, an olefin copolymer, an oil, a blowing agent and a crosslinking agent is provided. The olefin block copolymer has a Mw/Mn from 1.7 to 3.5, and at least one melting point, Tm, in degrees Celsius, and a density, d, in gram/cubic centimeter, wherein the numerical values of Tm and d correspond to the relationship: Tm>−2002.9+4538.5(d)−2422.2(d) | 01-22-2015 |
