Abstract:
A polypropylene homopolymer melt blown resin comprising a melt flow rate of about 300 to about 2500 g/10 min. at 230 C., a polydispersion index of about 1.3 to about 2.9, and a melting point of at least 160 C.

Abstract:
A propylene homopolymer having a stick-point of 30 cm or less during melt spinning, an oligomer content of less than 1500 ppm without postpolymerization treatment to remove oligomers, and a melt flow rate greater than 300 dg/min is prepared by radiation visbreaking in a multistage fluidized bed reactor. The polymer is subjected to irradiation in the substantial absence of oxygen, followed by a multistage treatment in the presence of a controlled amount of oxygen. The radiation visbreaking process can also be applied to other propylene polymer materials. The propylene polymer materials produced by this radiation visbreaking process can be used, for example, for extrusion coating, film production, and injection molding.
