Propylene random copolymer composition for pipe applications

The present invention relates to a polypropylene composition comprising a propylene random copolymer (A) with at least one comonomer selected from alpha-olefins with 2 or 4 to 8 carbon atoms and a nucleating agent (B), wherein the polypropylene composition has a polydispersity index (PI) of from 2.0 to 7.0, a melt flow rate MFR.sub.2 (2:16 kg, 230 C.) of from 0.05 to 1.0 g/10 min, determined according to ISO 1133 and a Charpy Notched Impact Strength at 0 C. of at least 4.0 kJ/m.sup.2, determined according to ISO 179/1eA:2000 using notched injection molded specimens, a process for producing said polypropylene composition, an article comprising said polypropylene composition and the use of said polypropylene composition for the production of an article.

Chemical-resistant films in high optical quality

The present invention relates to a process for producing transparent polymeric films or plastics moldings of particularly high chemical resistance, having more particularly a very good resistance towards oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, and of high optical quality.

Ultra-high strength UHMW PE fibers and products

Multi-filament UHMW PE yarns can be produced according to processes that result in improved properties. The UHMW PE can have an intrinsic viscosity in decalin at 135 C. of at least about 30 dl/g, and can be processed under optimal conditions to achieve a gel spun yarn having a tenacity of greater than about 45 g/d (40.5 g/dtex).
