MUMBAI, India, April 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647036125 A) filed by Basell Polyolefine Gmbh, Wesseling, Germany, on March 25, for 'polyethylene composition having high melt flow.'

Inventor(s) include Mihan, Shahram; Mannebach, Gerd; and Steele, Jonathan.

The application for the patent was published on April 10, under issue no. 15/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Polyethylene comprising an ethylene homo- and/or copolymer either of virgin origin biobased or a PCR material wherein the copolymer is a copolymer of ethylene with C3-C20-alkene, the polyethylene has a ratio of weight average molecular weight Mw to number average molecular weight Mn of Mw/Mn in their range of from 8 to 15, and a density of from 0.934 to 0.944 g/cm3, a weight average molar mass Mw of from 40 000 to 300 000 g/mol, and Mz in the range from 100,000 g/mol to 500, 000 g/mol, preferably in the range from 200,000 g/mol to 400,000 g/mol, preferably in the range from 250 000 g/mol to 300, 000 g/mol, and a melt flow rate of from 8 to 15 g/10 min, FNCT at least 1000, and shows good processabilities and mechanical properties when used in rotomoulding, and other energy consuming powder processing methods, such like injection moulding, extrusion processes for pipes, wherein the processed article comprising the polyethylene as disclosed therein uses less energy for heating up the polyethylene and saves time as cooling is much faster and therefore resulting in less carbon footprint."

The patent application was internationally filed on Aug. 29, 2024, under International application No.PCT/EP2024/074162.
