Laboratory Evaluation of Metallocene Resins in Crosslinked Polyethylene Foam
Source abstract
Abstract
Using a laboratory technique previously developed to evaluate the performance of chemical foaming agents (CFAs) in crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) foam, metallocene polyolefins were evaluated at various addition levels to branched LDPE to determine their effect on general foam quality (cell size, density, appearance etc.). The laboratory method is discussed, and conclusions on acceptable levels of the metallocene resins are offered.
