Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the ethylene-α-olefin copolymers described in JP-A No. 2003-96125 and JP-A-2004-149761 do not fully satisfy the requirements for extrusion load and swelling ratio during molding processing. The ethylene-α-olefin copolymer described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-233206 does not fully satisfy requirements in terms of extrusion load and melt tension during processing and molding

preparation example Construction

[0237] In preparation of the catalyst for polymerization, in addition to the transition metal compound (A1), the transition metal compound (A2) and the catalyst co-agent component (B), the organoaluminum compound (C) may be brought into contact therewith. The amount of the organoaluminum compound (C) used is calculated as the number of moles of aluminum atoms of the organoaluminum compound (C) per 1 mole of the total moles of the transition metal compound (A1) and the transition metal compound (A2), Preferably it is 0.1-1000, More preferably, it is 0.5-500, More preferably, it is 1-100.

[0238] Examples of the organoaluminum compound (C) include trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum, tri-n-propylaluminum, tri-n-butylaluminum, triisobutylaluminum, tri-n-hexylaluminum, tri-n-octylaluminum, etc. Trialkylaluminum; dimethylaluminum chloride, diethylaluminum chloride, di-n-propylaluminum chloride, di-n-butylaluminum chloride, diisobutylaluminum chloride, di-n-hexylaluminum chloride, ...

[0302] (1) Preparation of solid catalyst components

[0303] In a reactor equipped with a stirrer replaced by nitrogen, add heat-treated silicon dioxide (Sylopol 948 manufactured by Davison Co., Ltd.; 50% volume average particle diameter=55 μm; pore volume= 1.67ml / g; specific surface area = 325m 2 / g) 2.8kg and 24kg of toluene, and stirred. Then, after cooling to 5°C, a mixed solution of 0.9 kg of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane and 1.4 kg of toluene was added over 30 minutes while maintaining the temperature at 5°C. drop into the reactor. After completion of the dropwise addition, the mixture was stirred at 5° C. for 1 hour, then heated up to 95° C., stirred at 95° C. for 3 hours, and filtered. The obtained solid product was washed 6 times with 20.8 kg of toluene. Then, 7.1 kg of toluene was added to make a slurry, which was allowed to stand overnight.

[0310] (1) Polymerization

[0311] Evacuate the autoclave with a stirrer with an internal volume of 3 liters filled with argon after drying under reduced pressure, add hydrogen to make the partial pressure 0.01 MPa, add 200 ml of 1-hexene, and 650 g of butane as a polymerization solvent, and raise the temperature to 70°C. Then, ethylene was introduced to make the partial pressure 1.6 MPa to stabilize the inside of the system. As a result of gas chromatography analysis, hydrogen=0.59 mol% in the gas composition in the system. 0.9 ml of a hexane solution of triisobutylaluminum adjusted to a concentration of 1 mol / l as the organoaluminum compound (C) was charged into the system. Next, 0.3 ml of a toluene solution of racemic ethylene bis(1-indenyl)zirconium diphenoxide [corresponding to the transition metal compound (A1)] adjusted to a concentration of 2 μmol / ml, and dioxane adjusted to a concentration of 0.1 μmol / ml were added. Phenylmethylene (cyclopentadiene) (9-fluorene) zi...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer and a molded article obtained by extrusion molding or hollow molding of the ethylene-α-olefin copolymer. Background technique [0002] Ethylene-α-olefin copolymers are formed into films, sheets, bottles, etc. by various molding methods, and are used in various applications such as food packaging materials. [0003] As an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, it is known that a copolymer polymerized using a metallocene catalyst is excellent in mechanical strength such as impact strength and tensile strength. Therefore, it is expected that the weight and cost of the molded product can be reduced while maintaining the mechanical strength by reducing the thickness of the molded product. From this point of view, the use of this copolymer in various applications is being studied. However, conventional ethylene-α-olefin copolymers polymerized using metallocene catalysts have high extrusion loads during e...
