Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing an olefin polymer and an olefin polymer produced thereby, which has excellent processability. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing an olefin polymer in the presence of a mixed metallocene catalyst and an olefin polymer produced thereby, which can be used to produce a film having a bimodal or multimodal broad molecular weight distribution, excellent processability, and suppressed gel formation. [Background technology]

[0002] Polyolefin polymers are widely used in everyday life as materials for a variety of products, including shopping bags, greenhouses, fishing nets, cigarette wrappers, ramen noodle bags, yogurt bottles, battery cases, car bumpers, interior materials, shoe soles, and washing machines.

[0003] Traditionally, polyolefin polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymers and their copolymers have been produced using heterogeneous catalysts such as Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which consist of titanium compounds and alkylaluminum compounds.

[0004] Recently, research has been conducted into the production of polyolefins using metallocene catalysts, which are homogeneous catalysts with extremely high catalytic activity. Metallocene catalysts are compounds in which a transition metal or a transition metal halide is coordinated with a ligand such as cyclopentadienyl, indenyl, or cycloheptadienyl, and have a basic sandwich structure. The molecular structure varies depending on the type of ligand and the type of central metal.

[0005] In the heterogeneous catalyst Ziegler-Natta catalyst, the metal components that act as active sites are dispersed on the surface of an inert solid, and the properties of the active sites are not uniform. In contrast, metallocene catalysts are single-site catalysts, in which all active sites have the same polymerization properties because they are a single compound with a predetermined structure.

[0006] Such metallocene catalysts are easy to copolymerize and can control the steric structure of the polymer depending on the symmetry of the catalyst. The polymers produced by these catalysts have the advantages of narrow molecular weight distribution and uniform comonomer distribution.

[0007] On the other hand, polymers produced using metallocene catalysts have excellent mechanical strength due to their narrow molecular weight distribution, but suffer from poor processability. To address this issue, various methods have been proposed, such as modifying the molecular structure of the polymer or widening the molecular weight distribution. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,272,236 proposes improving polymer processability by using a catalyst that introduces long chain branches (LCBs) as side chains to the polymer main chain. However, entanglement of the long chain branches can lead to the formation of gels.

[0008] It is generally known that the larger the molecular weight distribution (MWD) and melt flow rate (MFR) of a polyolefin, the better its processability. However, a polyolefin with a large MWD or MFR does not necessarily have excellent processability at high speeds.

[0009] Therefore, there is a demand for an olefin polymer that has a wide bimodal or multimodal molecular weight distribution, is excellent in high-speed processability, and can be used to produce a film in which gel formation is suppressed. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, the hybrid metallocene catalyst for olefin polymerization may further comprise a support carrying the hybrid transition metal compound, the cocatalyst compound, or both.

[0073] The support may include a substance containing hydroxyl groups on its surface. Preferably, a substance having highly reactive hydroxyl groups and siloxane groups that has been dried to remove moisture from its surface can be used. For example, the support may include at least one selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, and magnesia. Specifically, silica, silica-alumina, and silica-magnesia dried at high temperatures can be used as the support. These typically contain oxides, carbonates, sulfates, and nitrates such as Na2O, K2CO3, BaSO4, and Mg(NO3)2. They may also contain carbon, zeolite, magnesium chloride, etc. However, the support is not particularly limited to these.

[0074] The carrier may have an average particle size of 10 to 250 μm, preferably an average particle size of 10 to 150 μm, and more preferably an average particle size of 20 to 100 μm.

[0075] The micropore volume of the carrier may be 0.1 to 10 ml / g, preferably 0.5 to 5 ml / g, and more preferably 1.0 to 3.0 ml / g.

[0076] The specific surface area of ​​the carrier is 1 to 1,000 m 2 / g, preferably 100 to 800m 2 / g, more preferably 200 to 600m 2 / g.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, when the support is silica, the drying temperature for the silica may be 200 to 900° C. The drying temperature may be preferably 300 to 800° C., more preferably 400 to 700° C. If the drying temperature is less than 200° C., there will be too much moisture on the surface, causing a reaction between the moisture and the first promoter compound, and if the drying temperature exceeds 900° C., the structure of the support may collapse.

[0078] The hydroxyl group concentration in the dried silica may be 0.1 to 5 mmole / g, preferably 0.7 to 4 mmole / g, and more preferably 1.0 to 2 mmole / g. If the hydroxyl group concentration is less than 0.1 mmole / g, the amount of the co-catalyst supported will be low, and if it exceeds 5 mmole / g, the catalyst component may become inactive.

[0079] The total amount of the mixed transition metal compound supported on the support may be 0.001 to 1 mmole per gram of support. When the ratio of the mixed transition metal compound to the support satisfies the above range, the supported catalyst exhibits appropriate activity, which is advantageous in terms of maintaining the catalyst activity and economy.

[0080] The total amount of promoter compounds supported on the carrier may be 2 to 15 mmole per gram of carrier. If the ratio of promoter compounds to carrier satisfies the above range, it is advantageous in terms of maintaining catalyst activity and economy.

[0081] One or more types of supports may be used.

[0100] Melt fracture or sharkskin is a common name for the phenomenon in which irregular irregularities or shark scales appear on the surface of a polymer during extrusion, or the surface loses its luster. The higher the shear rate at which such melt fracture or sharkskin occurs, the better the processability of the polymer.

[0101] The olefin polymer according to an embodiment of the present invention may have a bimodal or multimodal molecular weight distribution as measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

[0102] Specifically, in a GPC graph of an olefin polymer according to an embodiment of the present invention, a point where the slope of the tangent line changes from a positive value to a negative value is defined as a "peak," and a point where the slope of the tangent line changes from a negative value to a positive value is defined as a "valley." The olefin polymer according to an embodiment of the present invention may exhibit a bimodal or multimodal molecular weight distribution having two or more peaks.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the olefin polymer is shown on a Van Gurp-Palmen graph, an inflection point may exist.

[0104] The presence or absence of long chain branches in an ethylene polymer can be determined by the presence or absence of an inflection point in a Van Gurp-Palmen graph measured using a rheometer or by the tendency for the graph to diverge as the complex modulus (G*) decreases. The Van Gurp-Palmen graph shows that the phase angle (y-axis) diverges as the complex modulus (x-axis) decreases, and the graph has an inflection point as the complex modulus value increases. These graph characteristics indicate that the ethylene polymer contains a large amount of long chain branches.

[0105] As will be described later, the olefin polymer film produced from the olefin polymer according to the embodiment of the present invention exhibits suppressed gel formation. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the presence of an inflection point on the Van Gurp-Palmen graph of the olefin polymer according to the embodiment of the present invention is due to the presence of long chain branches, and as a result, it can be understood that the olefin polymer according to the embodiment of the present invention exhibits excellent high-speed processability.

[0106] In a specific example of the present invention, when the olefin polymer is blown into a film having a thickness of 30 to 60 μm, the gel index, which is defined as the number of gels having a size of 0.05 mm or more present in an arbitrary 5 cm × 5 cm film area, may be 1 or less.

[0107] Olefin polymer film According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an olefin polymer film produced by molding the above-mentioned olefin polymer. The olefin polymer film according to this embodiment of the present invention has a gel index of 1 or less, which is defined as the number of gels of 0.05 mm or more in size present in any 5 cm x 5 cm film area, when the olefin polymer is molded into a film of 30 to 60 μm in thickness by film blow molding.

[0108] The method for producing the olefin polymer film according to the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited, and any method known in the art to which the present invention pertains can be used. For example, the olefin polymer can be processed by a conventional method such as film blowing, extrusion, or casting to produce an olefin polymer film. Among these, film blowing is most preferred.

[0123] [Table 2]

[0124] Experimental example The physical properties of the olefin polymers obtained in the examples and comparative examples were measured as follows. The measurement results are shown in Tables 3 and 4. For comparison, Hanwha Solutions' high-speed processable product 8380 was used as Control Example 1.

[0125] (1) Melt index and melt flow rate (MFR) According to ASTM D 1238, the melt index was measured at 190°C with a load of 21.6 kg and a load of 2.16 kg, and the ratio (MI 21.6 / MI 2.16 ) was sought.

[0126] (2) Density Measurement was carried out in accordance with ASTM D1505.

[0127] (3) Gel permeation chromatography A GPC-FTIR (GPC-FTIR) spectrometer (Model GPC-6, manufactured by Polymer Char) was used. Measurements were performed at 160°C using trichlorobenzene as the solvent.

[0128] (4) Processability Measurements were performed using a Gottfert RG25 capillary rheometer. Measurement conditions were a circular hole, length 20 mm, effective length 20 mm, diameter / width 2, height 0 mm, run angle 180°, piston diameter 15 mm, and capillary diameter 2 mm at 230°C. Measurements were performed based on the shear rate at which sharkskin and melt fracture occurred, and the shear rate was calculated using Equation 1 above.

[0129] run (5) Gel index A film having a thickness of 55 μm was produced at 190° C. using a Colliun blown film molding machine, and the number of gels having a size of 0.05 mm or more present within a 5 cm×5 cm film area was counted.

[0130] -0: 10 or less in total -1: Total over 10 to 30 -2: Total over 30 to 50 -3: Total over 50 to 100 -4: Total over 100 to 200 -5: Total over 200 (film molding was difficult)

[0132] [Table 3]

[0133] [Table 4]

[0134] As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the formation of gels was suppressed in the films produced from the olefin polymers of Examples 1 and 2, which are within the scope of the present invention. In contrast, the number of gels increased in the films produced from the olefin polymers of Comparative Examples 1 to 5.

[0135] On the other hand, as can be seen from Tables 3 and 4 above, the olefin polymer of Example 3, which falls within the scope of the present invention, suppressed gel formation and exhibited extremely high shear rates, indicating high-speed processability. The olefin polymer of Example 3 was similar to the commercial product (Control Example 1) in terms of gel level, but exhibited far superior high-speed processability. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 6, the number of gels increased significantly, making it impossible to measure the shear rate. In Comparative Example 7, the shear rate was excellent, but the number of gels increased compared to Example 3.

[0136] 1, the olefin polymer of Example 3 showed an inflection point in the Van Gurp-Palmen graph, unlike Comparative Examples 6 and 7 and Control Example 1. This indicates that the olefin polymer of Example 3 had long chain branches and that gel formation due to entanglement of these long chain branches was suppressed.
