  • TITLE Improved Processability of Metallocene-Catalyzed Polyolefins
  • This invention relates generally to materials added to metallocene-catalyzed narrow molecular weight polyolefin polymers made with metallocene catalyst systems to improve their melt processing properties. More specifically, this invention relates to solid solvents to improve the melt processability of metallocene-catalyzed polyolefins and polyolefin blends containing one or more metallocene-catalyzed polyolefins, while physical properties of articles fabricated with these polyolefins and solvents are substantially the same as those of articles fabricated from the linear polyolefin itself.
  • LLDPE linear low density polyethylene
  • the LLDPE polymer's higher melt viscosity at typical processing conditions made the then existing extrusion and molding equipment less efficient as a polymer pumping apparatus, for instance as measured by pounds per hour per inch of die (lb./hr/in of die) (kg/hr/cm of die) when used to process linear low density Ziegler-Natta catalyzed polyolefin polymers.
  • metallocene-catalyzed linear polymers have, in certain instances, once again brought similar melt processing difficulties, probably due at least in part to the comparatively narrow molecular weight distribution and narrow composition distribution of these metallocene-catalyzed materials when compared for example to traditional Ziegler-Natta catalyzed polyolefin polymers, solution polymerized mono-cyclopentadienyl catalyzed polyolefins, or especially to free radical initiated polyolefins. Due to the newness of the metallocene-catalyzed polyolefin polymers and their relatively low current commercial volume of sales, fabricators and converters of polyolefin polymers have not been compelled to push the processing envelope of these polymers.
  • metallocene-catalyzed polyolefin polymers reach commercially significant sales and use, their relative difficulty of processing of certain of these metallocene-catalyzed polymers will become more important as converters of these resins attempt to maximize the output on a given machine while using these new polymers.
  • Polyolefins (hereinafter "metallocene-catalyzed polyolefins") made from metallocene based catalyst systems (which include mono-cyclopentadienyl and bis(cyclopentadienyl) metallocene catalyst systems as described in U.S. Patents 5,026,798 and 5,324,800 incorporated herein by reference for purposes of U.S.
  • more energy may be used to pump the same amount of polymer (at a constant output based on weight/unit of die circumference/unit of time) if the machine is not power limited.
  • attempts many of them successful, to improve the processability of various kinds of polymers. These attempts have included adding lubricants, or plasticizers, use of other viscosity reduction techniques, and other methods of improving processing.
  • these solutions have had deleterious effects on other important aspects of polymer melt processing, fabrication, and fabricated articles made from these polymers. Some examples of such detrimental effects include that the materials intended to improve processability tend to reduce physical properties, and that others have drawbacks such as increasing solvent extractables (limited for food law compliance).
  • EP 0 279 573 A2 suggests that the melt viscosity of vinylidene chloride polymers is purportedly reduced by introducing a solid solvent such as dimethyl sulfone into the polymer.
  • the sulfone may be compatible with vinylidene chloride polymers at a processing temperature above the solid solvent melting point and will reduce the melt viscosity and improve processing of the vinylidene chloride polymer.
  • the solid solvent Upon cooling below the solid solvent melting point, the solid solvent is said to become micro dispersed in the vinylidene chloride polymer with little or no solid solvent remaining dissolved in the vinylidene chloride polymer.
  • EP 0 324 264 A2 suggests that the extrudability of linear polymers of ethylene such as low density copolymers of ethylene of a C4 to CIO olefins (LLDPE) into thin films is improved by adding small amounts, for example, of 0.02 to 2 weight percent ethylene vinyl polymer to reduce melt fracture, head pressure and to obtain having excellent anti-blocking characteristics.
  • diatomaceous earth is added to further reduce blocking.
  • EP 0 308 090 A2 suggests that head pressure and extruder torque in the extrusion of linear ethylene polymers such as linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) are reduced by adding a small amount (less than 3 weight percent) of a thermoplastic polyamide polymer. Films extruded from the blend purportedly exhibit better surface appearance by reduction of melt fracture.
  • linear ethylene polymers such as linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)
  • LLDPE linear low density polyethylene
  • EP 0 308 089 A2 suggests that head pressure and extruder torque in the extrusion of linear ethylene polymers such as linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) are purportedly reduced by adding a small amount (less than 5 weight percent) of a thermoplastic polyurethane. Films extruded from the blend are said to exhibit better surface appearance by reduction of melt fracture.

Abstract

Des polyoléfines catalysées par alliages organométalliques tendent à accroître la charge des moteurs, et donc le couple nécessaire à ceux-ci en cas d'extrusion, du fait de leur relative insensibilité au cisaillement. Utiliser un solvant solide combiné avec une polyoléfine linéaire permet d'utiliser des moteurs à charges et couples inférieurs, ce qui constitue une amélioration de l'aptitude au traitement de telles polyoléfines. Le solvant solide choisi devrait laisser les propriétés physiques d'un article fabriqué par extrusion pratiquement intactes par rapport à celles de la polyoléfine linéaire elle-même. Celle-ci doit présenter un rapport Mw/Mn inférieur à 2,8. Le solvant solide doit présenter une température de dissociation (Tdi) inférieure à celle de traitement de la combinaison polyoléfine linéaire-solvant solide, une température d'association (Ta) supérieure à celle de la cristallisation de cette polyoléfine linéaire, un indice de solubilité allant de 15 à 20 MPa1/2, une valeur M¿n? allant de 250 à 5000, une aptitude à l'extraction (en combinaison avec cette polyoléfine) dans n-hexane, à 50 °C, inférieure à 5,5 % en poids du mélange total, une température de dégradation supérieure à 300 °C, et un indice de réfraction situé à ± 10 % de celui de la polyoléfine linéaire.
