Abstract

It was demonstrated that stable emulsions of polyethylene in hydrocarbon oils can be formed by a high-speed thin-film-coating process. These emulsions which can be used as electrical sealants are very stable and have a very high yield stress (greater than 10 000 dyn/cm²) and a high initial viscosity. At increasing shear rates, the emulsions are pseudoplastic with a power-law index of 0.2-0.3 (at room temperature). Further improvements in the stability of the emulsions can be made by using a hydrocarbon which is highly saturated and increasing the concentration of the polyethylene. Correlations were developed relating the viscosity of the emulsions to temperature and polymer concentration.
