Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, specifically to a high melt strength tensile polyethylene, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of production technology, the applications and fields of polyethylene have been greatly expanded. However, different processing and application fields have put forward higher requirements for polyethylene formulations. At present, ordinary low melt strength polyethylene has low melt strength, poor resistance to sag, and weak mechanical properties, which greatly limits its application in foaming, thermoforming, blow molding, extrusion coating and other processes. Melt strength is a very important parameter in the polyethylene processing process. High melt strength polyethylene has unparalleled advantages over ordinary low melt strength polyethylene in processing such as extrusion coating, blow molding, profile extrusion, and thermoforming.

[0003] Currently, there are three methods to improve the melt strength of polyethylene: reactor polymerization, electron irradiation, and blending. Reactor polymerization, as the name suggests, directly polymerizes polyethylene in a reactor to produce high melt strength. However, this method is difficult to develop due to the high complexity of the polymerization process conditions, requiring the selection of suitable catalysts and precise catalytic control technology. Electron irradiation uses electron beams to irradiate the polyethylene molecular chains, generating free radicals that trigger a chemical reaction. This method not only yields polymers with long-chain branched structures but also achieves a bimodal molecular weight distribution. However, the product requires subsequent processing to eliminate residual free radicals, resulting in complex equipment and high investment costs. Blending mostly employs melt blending, where polyethylene is uniformly mixed with other resins under strong shear forces in processing equipment. This method is simple and low-cost, but the blends often exhibit poor compatibility, making it difficult to produce products that balance high melt strength and high tensile strength.

[0047] Test case Melt strength (MS) was measured using a Rhedtens (Gottfert, Germany) melt strength tester with a roller rotation acceleration of 20 mm / s². Melt flow rate (MFR) was measured according to the relevant ASTM standards. Tensile strength was tested according to GB1040-2006. The test results are shown in Table 1. Table 1

[0048] The 4904 / 4904LS samples in Table 1 are polyethylene products from Basel.

[0049] Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3 conclude that without the addition of composite additives, increasing the proportion of metallocene and toughening agents yields almost no improvement in the tensile properties and melt strength of the material. Comparative Examples 6 and 7 show that adding only one component of the composite additive provides limited improvement in tensile strength. However, the blend material prepared by mixing the two components exhibits significantly improved tensile strength, and its melt strength is also superior to that of the single component. Figure 1 To observe the results using scanning electron microscopy, surface cracks in A (Comparative Example 2) were long and deep, indicating moderate compatibility. C and B (Comparative Example 6) still had many cracks, but cracks in D (Example 1) almost disappeared, crystal nuclei increased, and rigidity was enhanced. The two components in the composite additive can play a synergistic role, reducing the tension of the blended components, improving compatibility, and changing the crystallization properties of the entire blend system, thereby obtaining high melt strength tensile polyethylene through the blending process.
