Method for enhancing the clarity and gloss of polyethylene film

Claim 1

A METHOD FOR ENHANCING THE CLARITY AND GLOSS OF POLYETHLENE FILM WHILE LOWERING HAZE, SLIP AND BLOCK COMPRISING ADMIXING RAW POLYETHYLENE WITH AN ANTIOXIDANT, OF FORMING SAID ADMIXED POLYETHLENE INTO DISCRETE SHAPES, PASSING SAID SHAPES THROUGH TWO ADJACENT ROLLS, SAID ROLLS OPERATING AT DIFFERENT PERIPHERAL SPEEDS AT A RATIO BETWEEN 1:1 TO 10:1 AND AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN-70* C. AND THE MELTING POINT OF SAID POLYTHLENE AND WITH A SPACING BETWEEN THE PERIPHERAL SURFACE THEREOF TO CAUSE PARTIAL FLATTENING OF SAID DISCRETE SHAPES, SUBSEQUENTLY CHOPPING SAID FLATTENED SHAPES TO PRODUCE SMALLER PARTICLES, THEN MIXING SAID PARTICLES WITH 0.05 TO 3% OF A METAL SALT OF A MEMBER OF THE GROUP CONSISTING OF THE SATURATED AND THE UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS, GRANULATING SAID MIXTURE, AND THEN FORMING FILM THEREFROM.

AND THE MELTING POINT OF SAID POLYTHLENE AND WITH A SPACING BETWEEN THE PERIPHERAL SURFACE THEREOF TO CAUSE PARTIAL FLATTENING OF SAID DISCRETE SHAPES, SUBSEQUENTLY CHOPPING SAID FLATTENED SHAPES TO PRODUCE SMALLER PARTICLES, THEN MIXING SAID PARTICLES WITH 0.05 TO 3% OF A METAL SALT OF A MEMBER OF THE GROUP CONSISTING OF THE SATURATED AND THE UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS, GRANULATING SAID MIXTURE, AND THEN FORMING FILM THEREFROM.
