POLYPROPYLENE COMPOSITE RESIN COMPOSITION AND MOLDED ARTICLE CONTAINING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231622 titled 'POLYPROPYLENE COMPOSITE RESIN COMPOSITION AND MOLDED ARTICLE CONTAINING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a polypropylene composite resin composition with improved impact resistance, as well as a molded article made from the composition.

  • The composition includes a first propylene-ethylene block copolymer resin with a melt index of 20 to 40 g/10 min, a second propylene-ethylene block copolymer resin with a melt index of 5 to 15 g/10 min, a thermoplastic elastomer (styrenic or olefinic), an inorganic filler, and a nucleating agent.
  • The combination of these materials results in a composite resin with enhanced impact resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring durability and strength.

Potential Applications

The technology could be used in automotive parts, construction materials, and consumer goods where impact resistance is crucial.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of brittleness in traditional polypropylene resins, providing a solution for applications requiring higher impact resistance.

Benefits

The composite resin offers improved impact resistance, potentially leading to longer-lasting and more durable products.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be applied in the manufacturing of bumpers, protective gear, and industrial equipment components.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include similar composite resin compositions used in various industries, but the specific combination of materials in this patent application may be unique.

Unanswered Questions

How does the cost of production compare to traditional polypropylene resins?

The cost implications of using this composite resin composition compared to standard polypropylene resins are not addressed in the patent application.

Are there any limitations to the size or complexity of molded articles that can be produced using this technology?

The patent application does not specify any limitations regarding the size or complexity of molded articles that can be made from this composite resin composition.


Original Abstract Submitted

A polypropylene composite resin composition and a molded article made from same have improved impact resistance. The composition includes: a first propylene-ethylene block copolymer resin having a melt index of 20 to 40 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 kg); a second propylene-ethylene block copolymer resin having a melt index of 5 to 15 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 kg); a thermoplastic elastomer including at least one of a styrenic thermoplastic elastomer or an olefinic thermoplastic elastomer; an inorganic filler; and a nucleating agent in appropriate amounts.
