Benefits of technology

[0058]Polyolefin according to the present invention has a wide molecular weight distribution and bimodal or more molecular weight distribution curves, and the content of comonomer is mainly high in a region of the high molecular weight distribution. Therefore, polyolefin can be used to manufacture a blow molded goods that has a melt flow rate ratio (MFRR) that is useful to processing, excellent shapability, impact strength, tensile strength, in particular, environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR) and full notch creep test (FNCT), and a high die swell property.
[0059]In a known process using two or more reactors to synthesize a polyethylene resin that has bimodal and multimodal molecular weight distributions, there are problems. However, in the present invention, it is easy to obtain a desired molecular weight distribution by using only a single reactor. Accordingly, even in a single gas phase reactor or a single loop slurry polymerization process in which products having the bimodal or multimodal molecular weight distribution and the excellent property cannot be obtained by using a known technology, various types of polyethylene products can be obtained. In particular, it is possible to obtain a novel polymer product having a BOCD structure. Thus, it is expected that the effect is very significant.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, since the high production rate reduces the cost, it is required that the melt index is low.
However, in general, linear low density polyethylene has poor distortion strength due to low density and has a limit in application to products due to the frequent occurrence of sharkskin in the used bottles.
If a plastic vessel is manufactured by using the resin having the narrow molecular weight distribution, the manufactured vessel has very high luster but it is very difficult to process it.
In addition, the resin having the narrow molecular weight distribution has poor mechanical properties, in particular, very low environmental stress cracking resistance (Modern Plastic International, August 1993, p 45).
However, since polyethylene that is generated in the above-mentioned patents has a narrow molecular weight distribution, there are disadvantages in that it is difficult to ensure sufficient impact strength and processability.
However, even though prepared polyethylene has improved processability, since the dispersion state according to the molecular weight in a unit particle is not uniform, an appearance is rough and physical properties are not stable under relatively desirable processing conditions.

Preparation of the First Metallocene Catalyst—Synthesis of [tBu—O—(CH2)6—C5H4]2ZrCl2

[0127]6-chlorohexanol was used to prepare t-Butyl-O—(CH2)6—Cl according to the method that was described in the document (Tetrahedron Lett. 2951 (1988)), and NaCp was reacted in respects to this to obtain t-BUtYl-O—(CH2)B—C5H5 (yield 60%, b.p. 80° C. / 0.1 mmHg). In addition, t-Butyl-O—(CH2)6—C5H5 was dissolved in THF at −78 normal butyl lithium (n-BuLi) was slowly added thereto, the temperature was increased to room temperature, and the reaction was performed for 8 hours. The solution was additionally reacted at room temperature for 6 hours while the synthesized lithium salt solution was slowly added to the suspension solution of ZrCl4(THF)2 (1.70 g, 4.50 mmoD / THF (30 ml) at −78° C. All the volatile substances were dried under vacuum, and the hexane solvent was added to the obtained oily liquid substance and then filtered. After the filtered solution was dried under vacuum, hexane was added thereto t...

Preparation of the Second Metallocene Catalyst—Synthesis of [Methyl(6-T-Buthoxyhexyl)Silyl(.η5-TetramethylCp)(T-Butylamido)]TiCl2

[0133]After 50 g of Mg(s) was added to the 10 L reactor at normal temperature, 300 mL of THF was added thereto. After I2 was added in an amount of about 0.5 g, the reactor temperature was maintained at 50° C. After the reactor temperature was stabilized, 250 g of 6-t-buthoxyhexyl chloride was added to the reactor at a speed of 5 mL / min by using a feeding pump. According to the addition of 6-t-buthoxyhexyl chloride, it was observed that the reactor temperature was increased by about 4 and 5° C. While 6-t-buthoxyhexyl chloride was continuously added, the agitation was performed for 12 hours. The black reaction solution was obtained after reaction for 12 hours. After 2 mL of the formed black solution was sampled, water was added thereto to obtain the organic layer. Thus, 6-t-buthoxyhexane was confirmed by using the 1H-NMR. Through 6-t-buthoxyhexane, it could...

Abstract

A polyolefin has 1) a density in the range of 0.93 to 0.97 g / cm3, 2) a BOCD (Broad Orthogonal Co-monomer Distribution) index defined by a given equation in the range of 1 to 5, and 3) a molecular weight distribution (weight average molecular weight / number average molecular weight) in the range of 4 to 10. A supported hybrid metallocene catalyst comprises a first metallocene compound represented by a first given formulae, a second metallocene compound represented by one of three given formulae, and a support.
