20. Polymers of such relatively low MFR values are by no means unusual, and their characteristics are not prohibitive for processing these materials in their molten form, as is evident not only from the results presented here but also from a cursory examination of the multitude of commercial, so-called "low MFR" polymers (cf. Polymat, Werkstoffdatenbank, Deutsches Kunststoff-Institut, 1989).
