Abstract

Flow performance of metallocene linear low‐density polyethylene (mLLDPE) containing small amounts of polyethylene glycol (PEG) diatomite and diatomite/PEG binary processing aids respectively was investigated. The mLLDPE melt viscosity is increased by the addition of diatomite, but is decreased by addition of PEG or the diatomite/PEG binary processing aids. It was also found that the viscosity reduction of mLLDPE with the addition of diatomite/PEG binary processing aid was significantly greater than that obtained with the addition of only PEG. The flow curves of mLLDPE containing diatomite/PEG binary processing aid show extremely lower value and stronger dependence on shear rate than the others. It is suggested that the rheological improvement of mLLDPE with diatomite/PEG binary processing aids resulted not entirely from the wall slip promoted by PEG; the intrinsic structure may have changed under the application of shear flow. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
