Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transparent impact-resistant materials, and particularly to a transparent impact-resistant polypropylene product. Background Art
[0002] Polypropylene is a semi-crystalline polymer. Homopolypropylene has poor impact resistance and high brittleness. Therefore, many commercial polypropylenes are random copolymers containing 1-4% ethylene or impact copolymers with a higher ethylene content. Compared with homopolypropylene, random copolymer polypropylene has better transparency and impact resistance, but its impact resistance is inferior to that of impact copolymer polypropylene; due to the introduction of a certain amount of rubber phase components, impact copolymer polypropylene can greatly improve the impact resistance of polypropylene, but light will scatter and refract at the interface between the continuous phase and the rubber phase, resulting in a decrease in the transparency of impact copolymer polypropylene. Therefore, transparent impact copolymer polypropylene has distinct performance characteristics, that is, it combines the excellent optical properties of transparent polypropylene and the excellent impact resistance of impact polypropylene, and is mainly used in fields such as refrigerated dairy product packaging, stationery boxes, snack outer packaging, and small household appliance shells, such as refrigerated yogurt cups, yogurt lids, marker boxes, and snack storage boxes.
[0003] Due to the large market demand for transparent impact copolymer polypropylene and high requirements for product performance, how to further improve the performance of transparent impact-resistant polypropylene products is a current research hotspot for transparent materials.
