Description
Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Eigenschaften von Polypropylen Es ist bekannt, daß man Propylen mit geeigneten Katalysatoren zu makromolekularem Polypropylen polymerisieren kann. Das in üblicher Weise hergestellte Polypropylen hat Grenzviskositäten, die über 3, in vielen Fällen sogar bei 6 bis 10 liegen. Derartig hochmolekulare Produkte sind jedoch für viele Verwendungszwecke, z.B. für die Herstellung von Fasern oder Folien, nicht geeignet.Process for improving the properties of polypropylene It is known that propylene can be converted into macromolecular polypropylene with suitable catalysts can polymerize. The polypropylene produced in the usual way has intrinsic viscosities which are over 3, in many cases even 6 to 10. Such high molecular weight However, products are for many uses, such as the manufacture of fibers or foils, not suitable.
Es ist ferner bekannt, daß man Polypropylen bei Temperaturen zwischen 300 und 4000 C in Abwesenheit von Oxydationsmitteln thermisch zu Produkten mit niedrigen Viskositäten abbauen kann. It is also known that polypropylene can be used at temperatures between 300 and 4000 C in the absence of oxidizing agents thermally to products with low Can reduce viscosities.
Auch der thermisch-oxydative Abbau bei Temperaturen zwischen 150 und 1800 C ist bekannt. Dieser thermisch-oxydative Abbau wird in Schneckenpressen oder auf der Walze vorgenommen.Also the thermal-oxidative degradation at temperatures between 150 and 1800 C is known. This thermal-oxidative degradation is carried out in screw presses or made on the roller.
Es wurde nun gefunden, daß man Polypropylen mit Grenzviskositäten über 3 besonders vorteilhaft in Gegenwart von Sauerstoff abbauen kann, wenn man pulverförmiges Polypropylen in an sich bekannter Weise in der Wirbelschicht bei Temperaturen zwischen 50 und 1500 C, vorzugsweise zwischen 100 und 1300 C, behandelt, bis die Grenzviskosität unterhalb 3 liegt. It has now been found that polypropylene with intrinsic viscosities can be used over 3 can particularly advantageously degrade in the presence of oxygen if one powdered polypropylene in a known manner in the fluidized bed Temperatures between 50 and 1500 C, preferably between 100 and 1300 C, treated, until the intrinsic viscosity is below 3.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ermöglicht es, den thermisch-oxydativen Abbau bei verhältnismäßig niederen Temperaturen, die zwischen 50 und 1500 C liegen, vorzunehmen. Diese verhältnismäßig niederen Temperaturen sind vorteilhaft, denn es treten dabei keine Verfärbungen des Polypropylens auf. Der thermisch-oxydative Abbau wird in an sich bekannter Weise in einer Wirbelschicht vorgenommen. Der Abbau wird in Gegenwart von Luft oder sauerstoffhaltigen Gasen vorgenommen. The inventive method enables the thermo-oxidative Degradation at relatively low temperatures, between 50 and 1500 C, to undertake. These relatively low temperatures are advantageous because there is no discoloration of the polypropylene. The thermal-oxidative one Degradation is carried out in a manner known per se in a fluidized bed. The mining is carried out in the presence of air or gases containing oxygen.
Die erfindungsgemäß abgebauten Polypropylene mit einer Grenzviskosität unterhalb 3 können besonders gut zur Herstellung von Folien mit guter Transparenz und Fasern mit hoher Festigkeit verwendet werden. The polypropylenes degraded according to the invention with an intrinsic viscosity below 3 can be used particularly well for the production of films with good transparency and fibers with high strength can be used.
Beispiel 1 Pulverförmiges Polypropylen mit einer Grenzviskosität [r] von 6,3 und einem heptanunlöslichen Anteil von 940/0 wird in einem Wirbelofen 40 Minuten auf 1200 C erhitzt. Man erhält ein Polypropylen mit der Grenzviskosität [r] von 1,6 und einem heptanunlöslichen Rückstand von 920/0. Aus diesem Polypropylen kann man bei 2600 C Fäden mit einer Festigkeit von 69 Reißkilometern verspinnen. Das Streckverhältnis beträgt 1: 8. Example 1 Powdered polypropylene with an intrinsic viscosity [r] of 6.3 and a heptane-insoluble fraction of 940/0 is placed in a vortex oven Heated to 1200 C for 40 minutes. A polypropylene is obtained with the intrinsic viscosity [r] of 1.6 and a heptane-insoluble residue of 920/0. From this polypropylene can be spun at 2600 C threads with a strength of 69 tearing kilometers. The stretching ratio is 1: 8.
Beispiel 2 Arbeitet man wie im Beispiel 1, aber bei 1300 C und einer Verweilzeit im Wirbelofen von 60 Minuten, so wird das Polypropylen auf einen [4]-Wert von 1,1 abgebaut. Example 2 If you work as in Example 1, but at 1300 C and one If the dwell time in the whirling furnace is 60 minutes, the polypropylene is reduced to a [4] value degraded from 1.1.
Es läßt sich bei 180 bis 2000 C aus einer Breitschlitzdüse zu Folien verformen. Diese besitzen im ungereckten Zustand eine Zugfestigkeit von etwa 400 kg/cm2 bei 800 O/o Dehnung. It can be used at 180 to 2000 C from a slot die to form films deform. In the unstretched state, these have a tensile strength of around 400 kg / cm2 at 800 O / o elongation.
