Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of olefin polymerization, in particular to a polypropylene resin with excellent low-temperature impact resistance and a preparation method thereof and a polypropylene material. BACKGROUND
[0002] Isotactic polypropylene is severely limited in its application due to its brittleness and poor transparency. To expand the application range of polypropylene, random copolymerization of propylene and α-olefin is generally adopted to reduce the brittleness and improve the transparency of polypropylene. Existing random copolymerization polypropylene products mainly adopt copolymerization of ethylene and propylene, but the low molecular weight substances in the ethylene-propylene random copolymerization polypropylene are prone to migrate to the surface of the material, affecting the transparency and surface gloss of the material. Therefore, it is necessary to find other olefins to copolymerize with propylene to improve the performance of the product.
[0003] Common α-olefins mainly include ethylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene and 1-octene, etc. With the transformation and upgrading of domestic refining business, long-chain α-olefins such as 1-hexene and 1-octene will gradually replace 1-butene to become a comonomer, and the polyolefin products produced have better performance and higher added value. Compared with propylene / ethylene copolymer, the melt strength, impact strength, transparency and weather resistance of propylene / 1-hexene copolymer can be significantly improved, and the crystallization of propylene / 1-hexene copolymer is smaller, the phase structure is more uniform, and the impact resistance is beneficial.
[0004] The preparation process of olefin copolymer includes bulk method, gas phase method, solution method and slurry method. Bulk polymerization is divided into gas phase bulk method and liquid phase bulk method, the gas phase bulk method is to polymerize gaseous monomers into polymers through catalysts at high temperature and high pressure, and the liquid phase bulk method is to polymerize liquid monomers into polymers under the action of catalysts. Slurry polymerization is a method of monomer polymerization reaction, which belongs to a kind of precipitation polymerization, that is, the initiator of polymerization reaction and the formed polymer cannot be dissolved in the monomer itself and the solvent (diluent); the main function of the solvent added in slurry polymerization is to dilute the monomer concentration and discharge part of the reaction heat. Solution polymerization is to dissolve olefin monomers in alkane solvent under the action of catalysts, and the polymerization reaction is carried out in the solution. Compared with bulk polymerization and slurry polymerization, the solvent in solution polymerization can act as a heat transfer medium to make the system heat transfer easier and the temperature easier to control; the system viscosity is lower, the gel effect is reduced, and local overheating can be avoided. At present, the polymerization process of industrialized polybutene-1 mainly adopts gas phase method, bulk method and slurry method.
[0005] As disclosed in Chinese patent document CN201480058456.1, a multimodal propylene / 1-hexene copolymer having a content of 1-hexene-derived units of 0.6 wt% to 3.0 wt% is obtained in at least 2 connected gas-phase polymerization reactors using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system, which is suitable for the production of industrial boards; the propylene / 1-hexene copolymer produced by this process has an impact strength at 0°C of 8 KJ / m 2 , a flexural modulus of 1520 MPa. Chinese patent document CN200880122494.3 discloses a propylene / 1-hexene copolymer obtained in at least 2 connected gas-phase polymerization reactors using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system, which has a xylene-soluble fraction of less than 5% with respect to the total weight of the copolymer, which is particularly suitable for use in plastic tanks, in particular in blow-molded tanks.
[0006] Chinese patent documents CN201680068706.9, CN201880026510.2, CN201880044856.5 provide a propylene / 1-hexene copolymer having a high haze value and a low seal initiation temperature for the production of films, preferably cast films or BOPP film monolayers or multilayers, wherein at least one layer comprises the composition of the present disclosure. Chinese patent documents CN200880121585.5, CN201980057315.0, CN201980056582.6 disclose a propylene / 1-hexene copolymer having a good balance of impact resistance (e.g. dart impact strength) and tear propagation resistance for the production of blown films. Chinese patent document CN201980057350.2 provides a propylene / 1-hexene copolymer for the production of films, more preferably cast films. Chinese patent document CN201510042369.3 discloses a propylene / 1-hexene copolymer having a content of 5-9 wt% of 1-hexene-derived repeating units, a melting temperature of 125°C-140°C, and a melt flow rate of 0.1-3 g / 10 min, for the production of blown films having valuable mechanical and optical properties.
[0007] Chinese patent document CN201280035049.X discloses a tape of a propylene / 1-hexene copolymer having a content of hexene of 0.3 wt% to 5.0 wt%; a melt flow rate of 0.3 g / 10 min to 11 g / 10 min; a melting point higher than 145°C, preferably between 146°C and -159°C; the tape of the propylene / 1-hexene copolymer having a high tensile strength.
[0008] Therefore, the existing propylene / 1-hexene copolymer mainly adopts a gas phase polymerization method, and according to different application requirements, the monomer hexene content and the gas phase polymerization parameters are adjusted to improve the mechanical properties, fluidity, transparency and the like in different degrees. However, the low-temperature impact resistance of the existing propylene / 1-hexene copolymer polypropylene material needs to be further improved, especially the polypropylene material for injection molding products in the fields of medical tube material, medical packaging and food packaging. The method of adjusting the monomer hexene content and the gas phase polymerization parameters is not ideal for further improving the low-temperature impact resistance of the propylene / 1-hexene copolymer polypropylene material. The performance of the polypropylene material is influenced by many factors, such as the selection of a high copolymerization performance catalyst, the selection of a polymerization process, the regulation of monomer content and the like, and these factors have an influence on a certain performance or comprehensive performance. Therefore, how to select a high copolymerization performance catalyst and further improve the low-temperature impact resistance of the propylene / 1-hexene copolymer to meet the application requirements of injection molding products in the fields of medical tube material, medical packaging and food packaging and the like is a technical problem to be solved at present.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following effects:
[0055] The existing preparation method of propylene / hexene copolymer generally uses metallocene catalyst or conventional commercial Ziegler-Natta catalyst in combination with a gas phase polymerization method, mainly using a multi-kettle series pilot plant. This method is only suitable for pilot tests and industrial tests, and the process is complex. Using bulk polymerization has the problem that the propylene / hexene copolymer is easily dissolved in propylene monomer, resulting in easy sticking of the polymerization product. In the slurry polymerization process, the propylene / hexene copolymer has the problem of swelling in the solvent, which is easy to caking. Therefore, in order to improve the low-temperature impact resistance of propylene / 1-hexene copolymer, current improvements are mostly made on the basis of the existing gas phase polymerization method, such as controlling the monomer content, but the effect is not ideal.
