Abstract
A polypropylene composition suitable for foaming having improved processability but maintained strain hardening and the process to produce the polypropylene composition comprising combining a linear polypropylene having a melt strength within a range from 10 to 40 cN (190° C.) with an organic peroxide to obtain a branched polypropylene having a melt strength within a range from 20 to 80 cN (190° C.), wherein the melt strength of the branched polypropylene is greater than the melt strength of the linear polypropylene; and combining the branched polypropylene having a melt flow rate within a range of 0.1 to 20 g/10 min and an Mw/Mn of at least 5 with within a range from 5 to 40 wt % of a low molecular weight polyolefin having a melt flow rate of at least 50 g/10 min and an Mw/Mn of less than 5 to obtain the polypropylene composition.
