The butene can achieve the effect of copolymerization modification of long-chain alpha-olefin on polypropylene, namely, the crystallization of polypropylene can be destroyed, the glass transition temperature of the polypropylene can be reduced, the low-temperature toughness, printing performance, transparency and processing performance of the polypropylene material are greatly improved, and the melting point and initial heat sealing temperature of the polymer film material are reduced, so that the propylene-butene binary random copolymer is widely used as a special sealing layer of a coextrusion film structure.
In the prior art, the propylene-butene binary random copolymer has a wider production process selection range, and mainly comprises a gas phase method, a solution method, a solvent method, a liquid phase method and the like. The solution method and the solvent method are to dissolve propylene and comonomer butene in a solvent, polymerize the propylene and the comonomer butene in the solvent, and the subsequent solvent recovery process is complex, long in flow and high in energy consumption. And the liquid phase method generally adopts a loop reaction kettle, and a propylene-butene binary random copolymer produced by polymerization is very easy to block a pipeline, so that production stopping is caused, and the production efficiency of enterprises is influenced. The propylene-butene binary random copolymer prepared by adopting a gas phase method has no problems of pipeline blockage and solvent recovery, but the butene content in the propylene-butene binary random copolymer is not easy to control, and partial hot spots are easy to form by gas phase reaction to cause the agglomeration of the propylene-butene binary random copolymer, so that the product performance is uneven, and continuous and stable production cannot be realized.
