(57) [Summary]nA wettable polypropylene composition comprising: polypropylene; and a hydrophilic, polar compound containing functional sites selected from the group consisting of carboxyl, hydroxy, ether or ester moieties: the contact angle of the polypropylene composition is less than or equal to 75 ° And is wettable. The hydrophilic polar compound includes maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene (MAPP), acrylic acid-modified polypropylene, ethylene acrylate-modified polypropylene, polypropylene grafted with sodium acrylate, polyethylene glycol (PEG), modified polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) ), Polyvinyl formal (PVF), and; monomers having a carbon chain length in the range of 6 to 50, preferably 18 to 36, and dimer fatty acids. The composition includes the presence of an amorphous compound and a surfactant. |
