While Evonik supplies an important comonomer for polyethylene production, SABIC contributes important raw materials for the C4 compound.
While the surface tension of the studied solutions underwent a slight increase by branching, viscosity of the diluted solutions was significantly affected by increasing the comonomer feed ratio in which high viscosity was observed in S4 with the highest GP.
"More important, previous tests weren't applicable to polyolefins with high co-monomer content, such as some rubbery materials." At Polyolefins, Cong presented "Recent Advances and Challenges in Polyolefin Comonomer Distribution Analysis," describing Dow's test method called "high-temperature liquid chromatography" of polyolefins.
