Solution Overview

Problem

Modified chlorinated polyolefin resins used as binders face issues with solution stability over time, leading to separation and agglomeration, which deteriorates their adhesiveness and solution properties.

Innovation Solution

A modified polyolefin resin composition is developed by modifying polyolefin or chlorinated polyolefin resins with an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative and an alcohol, maintaining a residual carboxylic acid structure ratio between 50% to 80%, and incorporating specific monomers to enhance stability and adhesiveness.

Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by controlling the residual carboxy group structure ratio within a specific range (50-80%) and adjusting the alcohol-to-carboxy group molar ratio (0.5-5.0 mol/mol). These parameter optimizations balance the competing requirements of maintaining high adhesiveness while ensuring long-term solution stability, preventing both separation and agglomeration phenomena.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite modified polyolefin resin system by combining chlorinated polyolefin resin with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative and alcohol in specific proportions. This composite structure integrates the adhesive properties of the chlorinated polyolefin with the stabilizing effects of the carboxylic acid-alcohol modification system, achieving both high adhesiveness and solution stability.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-modifying the polyolefin resin with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative and alcohol before dissolution and storage. This pre-modification establishes a stable molecular structure with controlled carboxy group content (50-80% residual ratio) that proactively prevents separation and agglomeration during long-term storage, ensuring solution reliability is maintained throughout the storage period.
