Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an improved clarity, low haze, low melt flow rate homopolymer polypropylene and thermoformed parts therefrom using an additive package such that the additive package alone provides the improved qualities, and process adjustments at the thermoforming stage are not required. The additive package does not contain a phosphite antioxidant, and the homopolymer polypropylene is either virgin material or virgin material mixed with at least 25 percent reground homopolymer polypropylene of the improved formulation described herein and combined with the improved clarity additive package.
