A method for producing a polymer latex, includes: a stirring step of adding water to a polymer solution obtained by dissolution of a synthetic rubber in an organic solvent, to allow water to be stirred in the polymer solution, thereby providing a water-stirred polymer solution (A); an aqueous phase removal step of removing an aqueous phase from the water-stirred polymer solution (A), thereby providing an aqueous phase-removed polymer solution (B); an emulsification step of mixing the aqueous phase-removed polymer solution (B) with an aqueous solution including a surfactant, for emulsification in water, thereby obtaining an emulsified liquid (C); a solvent removal step of removing an organic solvent in the emulsified liquid (C); and a concentration step of concentrating the emulsified liquid from which the organic solvent is removed (D).

A process for increasing purity of a low density polyethylene (LDPE) composition, comprising the steps of: a) providing a melted composition comprising LDPE having Mn of at least 5.0 kg/mol according to size exclusion chromatography, Mw of at least 50 kg/mol according to size exclusion chromatography, a density of 915 to 935 kg/m.sup.3 according to ISO1183 and a melt flow rate of 0.10 g/10 min to 80 g/10 min according to ISO1133:2011 measured at 190 C. and 2.16 kg, and b) providing particles from the melted composition by: b1) mixing a supercritical fluid in the melted composition to obtain a solution saturated with the supercritical fluid and b2) expanding the solution through an opening to obtain the particles.

Provided herein are multimodal elastomer compositions comprising a first polymer fraction and a second polymer fraction, and methods for making such compositions. The elastomer compositions are preferably ethylene, -olefin, copolymers or ethylene, -olefin, polyene terpolymers. The elastomer compositions have high Mooney viscosity, thereby providing for improved elastomeric properties in compounds and other articles formed from the elastomer compositions. Surprisingly, the high Mooney viscosity compositions exhibit a much lower than expected viscosity when formulated into elastomer compounds. Thus, the processing detriments typically associated with high Mooney viscosity elastomers are minimized through the use of the elastomer compositions, and methods for making them, disclosed herein.

High Mooney viscosity elastomers having low volatiles content, and processes for producing such elastomers, are provided herein. In particular aspects, the elastomers are metallocene-catalyzed elastomers, such as mEPDM elastomers. Processes for producing such elastomers include devolatilization of an elastomer stream comprising such elastomers, using a kneader. The kneader is counterintuitively operated such that the internal agitating paddles rotate at relatively low speeds. It is believed these low speeds help maintain the elastomer stream as a toffee-like composition, preventing the elastomer stream within the kneader from becoming a crumbly composition, which is difficult to devolatilize.
