Description

A kind of high fondant-strength propylene/ethylene copolymer and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method with high melt strength, propylene of preparing, be specifically related to a kind of preparation method of propylene-ethylene random copolymer.The invention still further relates to a kind of propylene-ethylene random copolymer with high fondant-strength.
Technical background
The cutting out property of propylene polymer structures make its in injection moulding, extrude, obtain a wide range of applications in the manufacture field such as curtain coating, two-way stretch, but common polypropylene molecule has limited its application in fields such as thermoforming, foaming and blowings because melt strength is not high.Therefore, development has the polypropylene of high fondant-strength and good ductility, is the interested problems of people always.So-called high melt strength, propylene (HMSPP) just refers to that melt, under pulled out condition, can bear higher power when fracture.In the prior art, melt flow rate (MFR) MFR is the propene polymer of 2g/10min left and right, and its higher melt strength can reach 0.8-1N (newton).
The principal element that affects melt strength of polypropylene is the structure of polymer molecule, comprises the size of molecular weight, whether contains the length of long-chain branch and long-chain branch and distribute etc. on molecular weight distribution and molecular chain.Conventionally, the molecular weight of propene polymer is larger, and its melt strength is larger; But molecular weight is larger, more unfavorable for polyacrylic post-treatment processability.Therefore, consider the practical application of material, making polypropylene have wider molecular weight distribution needs; In addition, make to produce long branched chain structure in polypropylene molecular chain, also can improve polyacrylic melt strength.
In prior art, the method for conventional raising melt strength of polypropylene mainly contains: the methods such as reaction extrusion molding, radiation modification method and modulation polymerization technique technology.Reaction extrusion method is by add superoxide and other polyfunctional reactant monomers in polypropylene powder, and the technique of extruding by reaction forms polyacrylic crosslinked or long chain branching, thereby improves polyacrylic melt strength.The principle of radiation modification is to select suitable source of radiation and dosage irradiated polypropylene, causes by irradiation, reaches the object of grafting, and when irradiation, directly irradiated polypropylene makes linear chain rupture, shift and reconfigure, formation branching; Also can add polyfunctional monomer in polypropylene after, carry out again irradiation, after being excited, plays polyfunctional monomer ligation between macromole, thereby formation branched structure, makes to produce in polypropylene molecular chain long branched chain structure, thereby improves polyacrylic melt strength.
And modulation polymerization technique technology is the method for more commonly using, it is normally prepared broad molecular weight distribution polypropylene or is obtained long-chain branch polypropylene with metallocene catalyst in-situ polymerization by multiple reactors, thereby improves the melt strength of final polymkeric substance.Wherein, adopting the reactor of multiple series connection to prepare broad molecular weight distribution polypropylene commonly uses the most, it is normally selecting different amounts of hydrogen, different comonomers, be conducive to produce the polypropylene that obtains wide molecular weight distribution (MWD) in the different reactor of differing molecular weight polymers by series connection polymerization, for example: wherein a kind of reactor is conducive to produce the polymkeric substance of higher molecular weight, another kind of reactor is conducive to produce the polymkeric substance of lower molecular weight.
A kind of method of preparing the propene polymer with high fondant-strength and wide molecular weight distribution for example, is disclosed in U.S. Pat 6875826 and US7365136, it is in the endless tube-gas-phase polymerization reactor of series connection, select a kind of Ziegler-Natta catalyst with lower hydrogen response, the maximum feature of this Ziegler-Natta catalyst is exactly to adopt for example dicyclopentyl dimethoxyl silane of a kind of siloxanes that contains cycloalkyl as external electron donor, to carry out multistage (two reactors) the equal polymerization of propylene or copolymerization.By controlling the density of hydrogen of each reactor, first stage is produced the polypropylene (MFR < 0.1g/10min) of " high molecular weight block ", its weight content is 10-35%, subordinate phase is produced the polypropylene (MFR > 0.5g/10min) of " low molecular weight fraction ", its weight content is 65-90%, the MFR=0.1-20g/10min of final polymkeric substance.Reaction finally obtains having wide molecular weight distribution (M w/ M n> 6), linear high fondant-strength alfon.
Above-mentioned when passing through multiple reactors and preparing the method for broad molecular weight distribution polypropylene when adopting, perfect condition be make the molecular weight of the high molecular weight block that determines mechanical properties of polymer and degree of isotacticity more high better, especially possess a certain amount of " very high molecular weight block "; And the molecular weight of " low molecular weight fraction " that determines polymer-extruded performance (processing characteristics) is more low better, and need to possess more content.For propylene polymerization, the kind of external electron donor can produce significantly impact to the taxis of polymkeric substance and molecular weight distribution conventionally; But in above-mentioned patent, the component of catalyzer and characteristic do not change in two reactors, therefore in the polyreaction in two stages, catalyzer is consistent for the reaction sensibility of molecular weight regulator (hydrogen), has certain limitation like this for control or the adjusting of polymer chain characteristic.
Specifically, in the time that in catalyst system, use has the external electron donor of lower hydrogen response, as used dicyclopentyl dimethoxyl silane in patent US6875826, although can make the molecular weight of polymkeric substance higher in the first stage of producing higher molecular weight fraction, but it is in the time producing the subordinate phase of lower molecular weight fraction, due to the insensitivity that external electron donor is adjusted hydrogen, need high hydrogen content, just likely reach actual requirement.And if in catalyst system, use when thering is higher hydrogen and adjusting susceptibility external electron donor, although hydrogen usage is less when the subordinate phase of production lower molecular weight fraction, the polyacrylic extrusion performance of product is also easy to be met, but it is in the time producing the first stage of higher molecular weight fraction, molecular weight can not do enough large, thereby affect the mechanical property of the finished product.
For another polypropylene resin composite of describing in patent CN1241196A and uses thereof, also use two-stage method to obtain the polypropylene resin composite of high melting tension force; Wherein the first stage is prepared the polypropylene of high molecular under no hydrogen condition, and second segment is prepared low-molecular-weight polypropylene under hydrogen existence condition, uses identical external electron donor, as dicyclopentyl dimethoxyl silane in whole process; Preparation-obtained polypropylene can contain molecular weight and be greater than 1.5 × 10 6high molecular weight components.But it can not solve the problem that aforementioned patent US6875826 follows equally.
Although disclose the method that uses the catalyzer of two kinds of different external electron donors in different steps in prior art, for example, at patent CN1156999A " for the dual donor catalyst system of olefinic polymerization ", its first stage is used tetraethoxysilane to make external electron donor, and subordinate phase is used dicyclopentyl dimethoxyl silane to make external electron donor; Patent CN1612901A and US6686433B1 in addition similarly.Its processing step is all first to prepare small molecules polypropylene, then prepares more macromolecular polypropylene in subordinate phase, thereby obtains the polyolefine of high-crystallinity.If use method described in these patents to produce polypropylene, the first stage, while preparing small molecules, this adjusted responsive higher external electron donor also will work in subordinate phase to hydrogen, thereby cannot prepare super large molecule in subordinate phase.Equally, in these patents, also cannot obtain the propene polymer of the high fondant-strength with superior mechanical property and processing characteristics.

Embodiment 1:
Polyreaction is carried out on a set of polypropylene pilot plant.Its major equipment comprises prepolymerization reactor, first ring pipe reactor and the second annular-pipe reactor.Polymerization process and step are as follows:
(1) prepolymerization:
Primary Catalysts (the solid catalyst active ingredient of titaniferous) adopts the method that in Chinese patent CN93102795, embodiment 1 describes to obtain, its Ti content: 2.4wt%, Mg content 18.0wt%, n-butyl phthalate content: 13wt%.
Primary Catalysts, promotor (triethyl aluminum), the first external electron donor (dicyclopentyl dimethoxyl silane, DCPMS) after the pre-contact of 10 ℃, 20min, add continuously prepolymerization reactor to carry out prepolymerization, prepolymerization is carried out under propylene liquid phase bulk environment, temperature is 15 ℃, the residence time is about 4min, and under this condition, the pre-polymerization multiple of catalyzer is about 120-150 times.The triethyl aluminum flow that enters prepolymerization reactor is 6.33g/hr, and two cyclopentyl dimethoxy silane flows are 0.33g/hr, and Primary Catalysts flow is about 0.5g/hr.
(2) copolymerization of propylene/7 alkene:
Pre-polymerization rear catalyst enters in the annular-pipe reactor of two series connection, completes the copolymerization of propylene/ethylene under the propylene liquid phase bulk environment in annular-pipe reactor.Wherein the ethene add-on of the first endless tube is 7000ppm (volumetric molar concentration), and the ethene add-on of the second endless tube is 5000ppm (volumetric molar concentration).Two 70 ℃ of endless tube polymeric reaction temperatures, reaction pressure 4.0MPa.The processing condition of gate ring pipe reactor, the productivity ratio that makes first, second endless tube is approximately 45: 55.
In the charging of first ring pipe reactor, do not add hydrogen, the density of hydrogen < 10ppmV that on-line chromatograph detects, adds a certain amount of hydrogen in the second annular-pipe reactor charging, and the density of hydrogen that on-line chromatograph detects is 4700ppmV.
Because these catalyst components directly enter first ring pipe reactor after prepolymerization, first ring pipe reactor no longer includes any other charging except propylene and ethene, therefore, in first ring pipe reactor, triethyl aluminum/dicyclopentyl dimethoxyl silane (Al/Si-I) is 19.0 (weight ratios) than the ratio being in catalyst prepolymer.
In the second annular-pipe reactor, add the tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) into 0.67g/hr, therefore, triethyl aluminum/tetraethoxysilane in the second annular-pipe reactor (Al/Si-II) is than being 9.4 (weight ratios).Concrete technology condition is in table 1.
After flash separation goes out propylene, ethene, remove the activity of catalyst in reactor from the second endless tube polymkeric substance out through wet nitrogen, polymkeric substance, through heat drying, obtains polymer powders.
In the powder that polymerization is obtained, add IRGAFOS 168 additives of 0.1wt%, IRGANOX 1010 additives of 0.2wt% and the calcium stearate of 0.05wt%, use twin screw extruder granulation.Gained pellet is carried out to performance test by existing relevant ASTM standard.

Data from form, comparative example 1 because not adding an external electron donor that hydrogen response is high in subordinate phase reaction, its polypropylene product small molecular amount is inadequate, and the melting index of product is low, and extrusion performance (processing characteristics) is very poor and limit its use.
In addition, in actual production, the density of hydrogen (10000ppm) that in comparative example 1, subordinate phase the is used high value that substantially reaches capacity; Under non-critical operational condition, in reactor, hydrogen can not infinitely increase, when density of hydrogen is greater than 10000ppm, not only can cause damage to appliance arrangement, in follow-up propylene, hydrogen removes also very difficult, finally, follow with carrying hydrogen in propylene and cause the interior density of hydrogen of the first reactor uncontrollable at low level.Therefore, can not make propene polymer meet the particular product performance parameters described in the present invention by simple control density of hydrogen.
