Description

  The present invention relates to a polypropylene-based resin composition for extrusion lamination and a laminate. Specifically, the neck-in is small, the laminate processability is excellent, and the spreadability is high, so the extrusion laminate processability at high speed is also excellent, and the transparent The present invention relates to a polypropylene-based resin composition for extrusion laminating that is excellent in properties and transparency of contents, and a laminate obtained by extrusion laminating.

  Conventionally, various resin films and sheets, various metal foils and plates, paper, and other base materials such as polyethylene-based resins and polypropylene-based resins are used as food packaging materials, industrial materials, and building materials. Laminating to form a laminate and imparting properties such as heat-sealing property, water vapor barrier property, waterproof property, rust-proof property are performed. As a laminating method, an extrusion laminating method in which a polyolefin resin is extruded and laminated on a base material via an anchor coating agent to form a laminate is mainly used.

  Polypropylene resin is superior to polyethylene resin in moisture resistance, gas permeation resistance, oil resistance, heat resistance, waist strength, and the like. On the other hand, a polypropylene resin is a resin having a low melt tension because its molecular structure is linear and the molecular weight is not so large. In the extrusion laminating method, an extruder die called neck-in is used. There is a large phenomenon that the width of the extruded film becomes smaller than the width of the film, and there is a problem of workability such as surging (unevenness due to thickness unevenness in the take-off direction or expansion / contraction of the edge part) in high-speed lamination. there were.

  In order to solve such a problem, blending a low-density polyethylene or an amorphous ethylene-α-olefin copolymer with a polypropylene-based resin is also performed, although the above processability problems are improved to some extent, When a laminate film is used, there are problems such as poor transparency and heat seal strength and poor heat resistance (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

As another technique, a technique for imparting melt tension to the polypropylene resin itself has been developed. For example, Patent Document 3 discloses a technique for improving the melt tension by introducing long chain branching into polypropylene by high energy ionizing radiation. Similarly, many techniques such as Patent Document 4 and Patent Document 5 are disclosed as methods for introducing long-chain branching into a polypropylene resin using an organic peroxide.
However, the technology for introducing long-chain branching into polypropylene by irradiation with high-energy ionizing radiation or the use of organic peroxides is a cost increase during production, yellowing problems, changes in physical properties over time, and organic properties in the latter. There are problems such as contamination by peroxide decomposition products, odor, yellowing, safety during production, and the like, and a technique for producing high melt tension polypropylene by a method different from these has been desired.

In recent years, a macromer copolymerization method using a metallocene catalyst has been proposed. For example, in the first stage of polymerization (macromer synthesis process), a propylene macromer having a vinyl structure at the terminal is produced according to a specific complex and specific polymerization conditions, and then in the second stage of polymerization (macromer copolymerization process), By copolymerizing with propylene under specific polymerization conditions with specific catalysts, there is no higher-order cross-linking, the original chemical stability as polypropylene is not impaired, recyclability is excellent, and melt tension is improved. On the other hand, there has been proposed a macromer copolymerization method in which there is no concern about the generation of gel (see, for example, Patent Document 6 and Patent Document 7).
However, in this method, it is necessary to perform polymerization at a relatively high temperature and low pressure with a specific complex catalyst in order to efficiently obtain the terminal vinyl structure required as a macromer in the previous stage. Therefore, the produced macromer is a macromer having low molecular weight and stereoregularity.

  In contrast to the above-described multi-stage polymerization method, a single-stage polymerization method (in-situ macromer generation copolymerization method) in which a macromer synthesis step and a macromer copolymerization step are simultaneously performed with a specific complex catalyst has been proposed (for example, Patent Documents). 8). However, in this method, the amount of macromer produced and the amount of macromer copolymerization are not necessarily sufficient, and the effect of improving the melt properties is insufficient.

According to the invention disclosed in Patent Document 9 and Patent Document 10 by the present applicant, by performing propylene polymerization by single-stage polymerization in the presence of a catalyst containing a plurality of specific metallocene catalyst components, Various problems of the prior art in legal processes are solved, and a long-chain branched polypropylene resin having extremely high melt tension and good extensional viscosity characteristics can be obtained.
However, when extruding and laminating a resin having a high melt tension, the load tends to increase due to poor fluidity in the extruder, making it difficult to increase the extrusion rate. There is a possibility that problems such as an inability to increase the molding speed and a deterioration in the appearance of the film cause an increase in productivity.

Satisfy one of the following.

[Polypropylene resin (X)]
The polypropylene resin (X) used in the present invention is a polypropylene resin having a branched structure and satisfies the characteristics (i) to (vi).
Each of the above characteristics and a method for producing the polypropylene resin (X) will be specifically described below.

Characteristic (i): MFR
The melt flow rate (MFR) of the polypropylene resin (X) used in the present invention needs to be in the range of 0.1 to 30 g / 10 minutes, preferably 0.3 to 20.0 g / 10 minutes, Preferably it is 0.5-10.0 g / 10min. Below this range, fluidity is insufficient, causing problems such as excessive load on the extruder during extrusion laminating.On the other hand, if it exceeds this range, the properties as a high melt tension material will be poor due to insufficient tension. It will not be.
The method for controlling the MFR value is well known, and can be easily adjusted by adjusting the temperature and pressure, which are the polymerization conditions for the polypropylene resin (X), and by controlling the amount of hydrogen added during polymerization of a chain transfer agent such as hydrogen. Can be performed.
In the present invention, the MFR of the propylene-based resin is JIS K7210: 1999 “Method of plastic-thermoplastic melt mass flow rate (MFR) and test method for melt volume flow rate (MVR)”, condition M (230 ° C, 2.16 kg load), and the unit is g / 10 minutes.

Characteristic (ii): 25 ° C. Paraxylene soluble component amount (CXS)
The polypropylene resin (X) used in the present invention preferably has high stereoregularity, and it is preferable that there are few low crystalline components that cause stickiness and bleed-out when it becomes a laminated product. This low crystalline component is evaluated by the amount of xylene soluble component (CXS) at 25 ° C., and it is necessary that it is less than 5.0% by weight, preferably 3% based on the total amount of polypropylene resin (X). 0.0% by weight or less, more preferably 1.0% by weight or less, and still more preferably 0.5% by weight or less. The lower limit is not particularly limited, but is usually 0.01% by weight or more, preferably 0.03% by weight or more.

The details of the CXS measurement method are as follows.
A 2 g sample is dissolved in 300 ml of p-xylene (containing 0.5 mg / ml BHT) at 130 ° C. to make a solution, and then left at 25 ° C. for 12 hours. Thereafter, the precipitated polymer is separated by filtration, p-xylene is evaporated from the filtrate, and further dried under reduced pressure at 100 ° C. for 12 hours to recover room temperature xylene-soluble components. The ratio (% by weight) of the weight of the recovered component to the charged sample weight is defined as CXS.

  In order to make CXS less than 5% by weight, it can be produced by using a metallocene catalyst, as will be described later. It is necessary that the reaction conditions are not extremely high and that the amount ratio of the organoaluminum compound to the metallocene complex is not increased too much.

Characteristic (iii): mm fraction of propylene unit 3 chain by ¹³ C-NMR The polypropylene resin (X) used in the present invention is characterized by high stereoregularity. Stereoregularity of the ^height, can be evaluated by ^{13 C-NMR, 13 C-} NMR mm fraction of the propylene unit triad sequences obtained by needs to be at least 95%.
As for the mm fraction, the upper limit of the proportion of three propylene unit chains in which the direction of methyl branching in each propylene unit is the same in any three propylene unit chains composed of head-to-tail bonds in the polymer chain is 100%. This mm fraction is a value indicating that the steric structure of the methyl group in the polypropylene molecular chain is controlled isotactically, and the higher the value, the higher the degree of control. If the mm fraction is smaller than this value, the mechanical properties tend to decrease.
Therefore, the mm fraction is 95% or more, preferably 96% or more, and more preferably 97% or more.

In addition, the detail of the measuring method of mm fraction of the propylene unit 3 chain | strand by ¹³ C-NMR is as follows.
A sample of 375 mg is completely dissolved in 2.5 ml of deuterated 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane in an NMR sample tube (10φ), and then measured at 125 ° C. by a proton complete decoupling method. The chemical shift sets the central peak of the three peaks of deuterated 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane to 74.2 ppm. The chemical shift of other carbon peaks is based on this.
Flip angle: 90 degrees Pulse interval: 10 seconds Resonance frequency: 100 MHz or more Integration frequency: 10,000 times or more Observation range: -20 ppm to 179 ppm
Number of data points: 32768
The analysis of the mm fraction is performed using the measured ¹³ C-NMR spectrum.
The spectrum is assigned with reference to Macromolecules, (1975) 8 pp. 687 and Polymer, 30, vol. 1, 1350 (1989).
A more specific method for determining the mm fraction is described in detail in paragraphs [0053] to [0065] of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2009-275207, and the present invention is performed according to this method. .

  The mm fraction can be 95% or more by using a polymerization catalyst that achieves a highly crystalline polymer, and by using a preferred metallocene catalyst described later for polymerization.

Characteristic (iv): Molecular weight distribution by GPC In addition, the polypropylene resin (X) needs to have a relatively wide molecular weight distribution, and the molecular weight distribution Mw / Mn obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) (where, It is necessary that Mw is a weight average molecular weight and Mn is a number average molecular weight) of 3.0 or more and 10.0 or less. Further, the molecular weight distribution Mw / Mn of the polypropylene resin (X) is preferably in the range of 3.5 to 8.0, more preferably 4.1 to 6.0.
Furthermore, Mz / Mw (where Mz is the Z average molecular weight) needs to be 2.5 or more and 10.0 or less as a parameter that more significantly represents the breadth of the molecular weight distribution. The preferable range of Mz / Mw is 2.8 to 8.0, more preferably 3.0 to 6.0.
As the molecular weight distribution is wider, the molding processability is improved, but those having Mw / Mn and Mz / Mw in this range are particularly excellent in extrusion lamination processability.

The definitions of Mn, Mw, and Mz are described in “Basics of Polymer Chemistry” (Edited by Polymer Society, Tokyo Kagaku Dojin, 1978) and can be calculated from molecular weight distribution curves by GPC.
And the specific measuring method of GPC is as follows.
Apparatus: GPC manufactured by Waters (ALC / GPC 150C)
Detector: MIRAN 1A IR detector manufactured by FOXBORO (measurement wavelength: 3.42 μm)
Column: AD806M / S (3 pieces) manufactured by Showa Denko KK
-Mobile phase solvent: orthodichlorobenzene (ODCB)
・ Measurement temperature: 140 ℃
・ Flow rate: 1.0 ml / min
・ Injection volume: 0.2ml
Sample preparation: Prepare a 1 mg / mL solution using ODCB (containing 0.5 mg / mL BHT) and dissolve it at 140 ° C. for about 1 hour.

Conversion from the retention capacity obtained by GPC measurement to the molecular weight is performed using a calibration curve prepared in advance by standard polystyrene (PS). The standard polystyrenes used are all the following brands manufactured by Tosoh Corporation.
F380, F288, F128, F80, F40, F20, F10, F4, F1, A5000, A2500, A1000
A calibration curve is created by injecting 0.2 mL of a solution dissolved in ODCB (containing 0.5 mg / mL BHT) so that each is 0.5 mg / mL. The calibration curve uses a cubic equation obtained by approximation by the least square method.
In addition, the following numerical value is used for the viscosity formula [η] = K × Mα used for conversion to molecular weight.
PS: K = 1.38 × 10 ⁻⁴ , α = 0.7
PP: K = 1.03 × 10 ⁻⁴ , α = 0.78

  In order to set Mw / Mn to 3.0 or more and 10.0 or less and Mz / Mw to 2.5 or more and 10.0 or less, the temperature and pressure conditions of propylene polymerization are changed, or as the most general technique Can be easily adjusted by a method in which a chain transfer agent such as hydrogen is added during propylene polymerization. Furthermore, when using 2 or more types of the metallocene catalyst mentioned later and a catalyst, it can control by changing the quantity ratio.

Characteristic (v): Branch index g ′
As a direct indicator that the polypropylene resin (X) used in the present invention has long-chain branching, a branching index g ^′ can be mentioned. g ^′ is given by the ratio of the intrinsic viscosity [η] lin of the linear polymer having the same molecular weight as the intrinsic viscosity [η] br of the polymer having a long chain branched structure, that is, [η] br / [η] lin. When a long chain branched structure is present, the value is smaller than 1.
The definition is described in, for example, “Developments in Polymer Characterization-4” (JV Dawkins ed. Applied Science Publishers, 1983), and is an index known to those skilled in the art.

The branching index g ^′ can be obtained as a function of the absolute molecular weight Mabs, for example, by using a GPC equipped with a light scatterometer and a viscometer as described below in the detector.
The polypropylene resin (X) used in the present invention has g ′ of 0.30 or more and less than 1.00, preferably 0.55 or more and 0.98 or less, when the absolute molecular weight Mabs determined by light scattering is 1,000,000. More preferably, they are 0.75 or more and 0.96 or less, More preferably, they are 0.78 or more and 0.95 or less.
The polypropylene resin (X) used in the present invention is preferably considered to have a comb-shaped chain as a molecular structure. When the branching index g ′ is less than 0.30, the main chain is small and the side chain is The ratio is extremely large, and in such a case, the melt tension may not be improved or a gel may be formed, which is not preferable in the extrusion laminating process. On the other hand, in the case of 1.00, this means that there is no long chain branching, and the melt tension tends to be insufficient, which is not suitable for extrusion laminating.

The lower limit of g ′ is preferably the above value for the following reason.
According to the document “Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering vol. 2” (John Wiley & Sons 1985 p.485), the g ^′ value of the comb polymer is represented by the following formula.

Here, g is a branching index defined by the rotation radius ratio of the polymer, and ε is a constant determined by the shape of the branched chain and the solvent. According to Table 3 of 487, a value of about 0.7 to 1.0 is reported for the comb chain in a good solvent. λ is the ratio of the main chain in the comb chain, and p is the average number of branches. According to this equation, the number of branches is extremely large with a comb chain, that is, p is infinite, and g ^′ = g ^ε = λ ^ε , which is not less than the value of λ ^ε. In general, there will be a lower limit.

On the other hand, the formula of a conventionally known random branched chain that is considered to occur in the case of electron beam irradiation or peroxide modification is given by the formula (19) on page 485 in the same document. In the chain, as the number of branch points increases, the g ′ and g values monotonously decrease, especially without the lower limit. That is, in the present invention, the fact that the g ′ value has a lower limit means that the polypropylene resin (X) having a long chain branched structure used in the present invention has a structure close to a comb chain. Therefore, the distinction from the random branched chain generated by the conventional electron beam irradiation or peroxide modification becomes clearer.
In the branched polymer having a structure close to a comb chain in which g ′ is in the above range, the degree of decrease in melt tension when kneading is repeated is small, and in the process of industrially producing sheets and films, For example, when an end material or the like generated by cutting the end portion is subjected to molding again as a recycled material, deterioration in physical properties and moldability is reduced.

A specific method for calculating the branching index g ′ is as follows.
Waters Alliance GPCV2000 is used as a GPC apparatus equipped with a differential refractometer (RI) and a viscosity detector (Viscometer). As the light scattering detector, a DAWN-E manufactured by Wyatt Technology, a multi-angle laser light scattering detector (MALLS) is used. The detectors are connected in the order of MALLS, RI, and Viscometer. The mobile phase solvent is 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (added with an antioxidant Irganox 1076 manufactured by BASF Japan Ltd. at a concentration of 0.5 mg / mL).
The flow rate is 1 mL / min, and two columns of Tosoh Corporation GMHHR-H (S) HT are connected and used. The temperature of the column, sample injection section, and each detector is 140 ° C. The sample concentration is 1 mg / mL and the injection volume (sample loop volume) is 0.2175 mL.

In order to obtain the absolute molecular weight (Mabs) obtained from MALLS, the mean square inertia radius (Rg), and the intrinsic viscosity ([η]) obtained from Viscometer, data processing software ASTRA (version 4.73.04) attached to MALLS is used. The calculation is performed with reference to the following documents.
1. "Developments in Polymer Characterization-4" (JV Dawkins ed. Applied Science Publishers, 1983. Chapter 1.)
2. Polymer, 45, 6495-6505 (2004).
3. Macromolecules, 33, 2424-2436 (2000).
4). Macromolecules, 33, 6945-6925 (2000).

The branching index g ′ is a ratio of the intrinsic viscosity ([η] br) obtained by measuring a sample with the above Viscometer and the intrinsic viscosity ([η] lin) obtained separately by measuring a linear polymer ([[ η] br / [η] lin).
When a long-chain branched structure is introduced into a polymer molecule, the radius of inertia becomes smaller than that of a linear polymer molecule having the same molecular weight. Since the intrinsic viscosity becomes smaller as the inertia radius becomes smaller, the intrinsic viscosity ([η] br) of the branched polymer with respect to the intrinsic viscosity ([η] lin) of the linear polymer having the same molecular weight as the long chain branched structure is introduced. The ratio ([η] br / [η] lin) becomes smaller.
Therefore, when the branch index (g ′ = [η] br / [η] lin) is a value smaller than 1, it means that a branch is introduced. Here, as a linear polymer for obtaining [η] lin, a commercially available homopolypropylene (Novatech PP (registered trademark), grade name: FY6 manufactured by Nippon Polypro Co., Ltd.) is used. The fact that the logarithm of [η] lin of a linear polymer has a linear relationship with the logarithm of molecular weight is known as the Mark-Houwink-Sakurada equation, so [η] lin is appropriately set on the low molecular weight side or high molecular weight side Extrapolation can be used to obtain numerical values.

  In order to make the branching index g ′ 0.30 or more and less than 1.00, it is achieved by introducing many long-chain branches, selection of preferred metallocene catalysts described later, a combination thereof, a quantitative ratio thereof, and prepolymerization This can be achieved by controlling the conditions for polymerization.

Characteristic (vi): Melt tension (MT)
Furthermore, the polypropylene resin (X) used in the present invention has the following relational expression between melt tension (MT) and MFR:
log (MT) ≧ −0.9 × log (MFR) +0.7
Or MT ≧ 15
You need to meet one of the following:
Here, MT is Capillograph 1B manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd. Capillary: 2.0 mm in diameter, 40 mm in length, cylinder diameter: 9.55 mm, cylinder extrusion speed: 20 mm / min, take-off speed: 4. The melt tension when measured under the conditions of 0 m / min and temperature: 230 ° C. is expressed in grams. However, when the MT of the polypropylene resin (X) is extremely high, the resin may be broken at a take-up speed of 4.0 m / min. In such a case, the take-up speed can be lowered to take off the resin. Let MT be the tension at the highest speed. The measurement conditions and units of MFR are as described above.

This rule is an index for the polypropylene resin (X) having a branched structure to have a sufficient melt tension for extrusion laminating. Generally, since MT has a correlation with MFR, It is described by the relational expression.
Thus, the method of defining the melt tension MT with the relational expression with MFR is a normal method for those skilled in the art. For example, JP 2003-25425 discloses the definition of polypropylene having a high melt tension as follows: The following relational expression has been proposed.
log (MS)> − 0.61 × log (MFR) +0.82
(Here, MS is synonymous with MT.)
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2003-64193 proposes the following relational expression as a definition of polypropylene having a high melt tension.
11.32 × MFR ^−0.7854 ≦ MT
Furthermore, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-94504 proposes the following relational expression as a definition of polypropylene having a high melt tension.
MT ≧ 7.52 × MFR ^−0.576

In the present invention, the polypropylene resin (X) having a branched structure is represented by the relational formula:
log (MT) ≧ −0.9 × log (MFR) +0.7 or MT ≧ 15
If either of these is satisfied, it can be said that the resin has a sufficiently high melt tension and is useful for extrusion laminating.
The polypropylene resin (X) has the following relational expression:
log (MT) ≧ −0.9 × log (MFR) +0.9 or MT ≧ 15
It is more preferable to satisfy | fill, and it is still more preferable to satisfy | fill the following relational expressions.
log (MT) ≧ −0.9 × log (MFR) +1.1 or MT ≧ 15
Although it is not necessary to provide the upper limit of MT in particular, when MT exceeds 40 g, the take-up speed is remarkably slowed by the measurement method described above, and measurement becomes difficult. In such a case, since it is considered that the spreadability of the resin is also deteriorated, it is preferably 40 g or less, more preferably 35 g or less, and most preferably 30 g or less.

  In order to satisfy the relational expression of MT and MFR described above, the long chain branching amount of the polypropylene resin (X) may be increased to increase the melt tension. Selection of a preferable metallocene catalyst described later and a combination thereof, and This can be achieved by controlling the amount ratio and prepolymerization conditions to introduce a large amount of long chain branches.

[Other characteristics of polypropylene resin (X) having a branched structure]
As a further additional feature of the polypropylene resin (X) having a branched structure according to the present invention, the strain hardening degree (λmax (0.1)) in the measurement of the extensional viscosity at a strain rate of 0.1 s ⁻¹ is 6.0. It is mentioned above.
The strain hardening degree (λmax (0.1)) is an index representing the strength at the time of melting, and when this value is large, there is an effect of improving the melt tension. As a result, neck-in during extrusion laminating can be suppressed, and the strain hardening degree is preferably 6.0 or more, more preferably 8.0 or more.

Details of the calculation method of λmax (0.1) are as follows.
The elongational viscosity at a temperature of 180 ° C. and the strain rate = 0.1 s ⁻¹ is plotted on a logarithmic graph with the horizontal axis representing time t (seconds) and the vertical axis representing elongational viscosity η _E (Pa · seconds). On the log-log graph, the viscosity immediately before strain hardening is approximated by a straight line.
Specifically, first, the slope at each time when the extensional viscosity is plotted against time is obtained. In this case, considering that the measurement data of the extensional viscosity is discrete, various averaging methods are used. Is used. For example, there is a method of obtaining the slope of adjacent data and taking a moving average of several surrounding points.
The elongational viscosity is a simple increasing function in the low strain region, gradually approaches a constant value, and if there is no strain hardening, it agrees with the Truton viscosity after a sufficient amount of time. From about 1 strain amount (= strain rate × time), the extensional viscosity starts to increase with time. That is, the slope tends to decrease with time in the low strain region, but tends to increase from about 1 strain, and there is an inflection point on the curve when the extensional viscosity is plotted against time. . Therefore, a point where the slope of each time obtained above takes the minimum value in the range of the distortion amount of about 0.1 to 2.5 is obtained, and a tangent line is drawn at the point, and the straight line has a distortion amount of 4.0. Extrapolate until The maximum value (ηmax) of the extensional viscosity η _E until the strain amount becomes 4.0 is obtained, and the viscosity on the approximate straight line up to that time is η lin. ηmax / ηlin is defined as λmax (0.1).

[Method for producing polypropylene resin (X) having a branched structure]
The polypropylene resin (X) having a branched structure is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the characteristics (i) to (vi) described above, but as described above, the amount of low low crystalline component is high. A preferable production method for satisfying all the conditions of stereoregularity, relatively wide molecular weight distribution, range of branching index g ^′ , and high melt tension is a method using a macromer copolymerization method using a combination of metallocene catalysts. . As an example of such a method, for example, a method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-57542 can be given.
This method produces a polypropylene having a long-chain branched structure using a catalyst in which a catalyst component having a specific structure having macromer-producing ability and a catalyst component having a specific structure having high molecular weight and macromer copolymerization ability are combined. According to this, industrially effective methods such as bulk polymerization and gas phase polymerization, particularly single-stage polymerization under practical pressure-temperature conditions, and using hydrogen as a molecular weight regulator. It is possible to produce a polypropylene resin having a long-chain branched structure having the desired physical properties.

In the past, it was necessary to increase the branching efficiency by lowering the crystallinity by using a polypropylene component having a low stereoregularity. However, in the above method, a polypropylene component having a sufficiently high stereoregularity is required. The above (iii) and (ii), which can be introduced into the side chain by a simple method, and are preferred as the polypropylene resin (X) used in the present invention, which are related to high stereoregularity and low amount of low crystalline components. It is suitable for satisfying these characteristics.
Moreover, if the said method is used, molecular weight distribution can be broadened by using two types of catalysts from which polymerization characteristics differ greatly, and said (iv)-which is required for the polypropylene resin (X) having a branched structure used in the present invention. It is possible and preferable to satisfy the characteristic (vi).

Therefore, a preferable method for producing a polypropylene resin (X) having a branched structure used in the present invention will be described in detail below.

(4) Catalyst formation / preliminary polymerization In the catalyst, the catalyst components (A) to (C) are brought into contact with each other in the (preliminary) polymerization tank simultaneously or continuously, or once or multiple times. Can be formed.
The contact of each component is usually carried out in an aliphatic hydrocarbon or aromatic hydrocarbon solvent. Although a contact temperature is not specifically limited, It is preferable to carry out between -20 degreeC and 150 degreeC. As the contact order, any desired combination can be used, but particularly preferable ones for each component are as follows.

The molar ratio of the transition metal of [A-1] to the total amount of the components [A-1] and [A-2] is preferably within a range satisfying the above characteristics, but is preferably 0.30 or more, 0.0. 99 or less.
By changing this ratio, it is possible to adjust the balance between melt physical properties and catalyst activity. That is, from the component [A-1], a low molecular weight terminal vinyl macromer is produced, and from the component [A-2], a high molecular weight body obtained by copolymerizing a part of the macromer is produced. Therefore, by changing the ratio of the component [A-1], the average molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, bias of the molecular weight distribution toward the high molecular weight side, very high molecular weight component, branch (amount, length, Distribution) can be controlled, whereby the melt properties such as branching index g ′, strain hardening degree λmax, melt tension, and spreadability can be controlled.

In addition, by using component [A-1] within the above range, it is possible to adjust the balance between the average molecular weight and the catalytic activity with respect to the amount of hydrogen.

  The catalyst is preferably subjected to a prepolymerization treatment which consists of contacting it with an olefin and polymerizing it in a small amount. By performing the prepolymerization treatment, gel formation can be prevented when the main polymerization is performed. The reason is considered to be that long-chain branches can be uniformly distributed among the polymer particles when the main polymerization is performed, and the melt physical properties can be improved thereby.

The olefin used in the prepolymerization is not particularly limited, but propylene, ethylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 3-methyl-1-butene, vinylcycloalkane, Styrene and the like can be exemplified.

(5) Use of Catalyst / Propylene Polymerization Any polymerization mode can be used as long as the olefin polymerization catalyst including the catalyst component (A), the catalyst component (B), and the catalyst component (C) is in efficient contact with the monomer. Can be adopted.
Specifically, a slurry method using an inert solvent, a so-called bulk method using a propylene as a solvent without using an inert solvent as a solvent, a solution polymerization method, or a monomer without using a liquid solvent substantially. A gas phase method can be used. Moreover, the method of performing continuous polymerization and batch type polymerization is also applied. In addition to single-stage polymerization, it is possible to carry out multistage polymerization of two or more stages.
In the case of slurry polymerization, a saturated aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon such as hexane, heptane, pentane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, or the like is used alone or as a polymerization solvent.

Also, by changing the amount of hydrogen used, in addition to the average molecular weight of the polymer to be produced, the molecular weight distribution, the deviation of the molecular weight distribution toward the high molecular weight side, very high molecular weight components, branching (amount, length, Distribution) can be controlled, whereby the melt properties characterizing polypropylene having a long chain branching structure such as MFR, branching index, strain hardening degree melt tension MT, and spreadability can be controlled.
Therefore, hydrogen should be used at a molar ratio to propylene of 1.0 × 10 ⁻⁶ or more, preferably 1.0 × 10 ⁻⁵ or more, more preferably 1.0 × 10 ⁻⁴ or more. Is good. Moreover, regarding an upper limit, it is good to use at 1.0 * 10 ^<-2> or less, Preferably it is 0.9 * 10 ^<-2> or less, More preferably, it is 0.8 * 10 ^<-2> or less.

In addition to the propylene monomer, copolymerization using an α-olefin comonomer having 2 to 20 carbon atoms excluding propylene, for example, ethylene and / or 1-butene as a comonomer may be performed depending on the application.

Is preferable, more preferably 10 mol% or less, still more preferably 7 mol% or less.

  When propylene is polymerized using the catalyst and polymerization method exemplified here, one end of the polymer is mainly propenyl from the active species derived from the catalyst component [A-1] by a special chain transfer reaction generally called β-methyl elimination. The structure is shown and so-called macromers are produced. This macromer can generate a higher molecular weight and is taken into the active species derived from the catalyst component [A-2] having a better copolymerization property, and it is considered that the macromer copolymerization proceeds. Therefore, it is considered that the comb chain is the main branch structure of the polypropylene resin having a long chain branch structure to be generated.

Extrusion laminating was performed while increasing from / min, and the maximum processing speed at which stable coating could be performed was defined as extensibility. The higher the spreadability, the better the extrusion lamination processability at high speed.
(2) Neck-in:
As described above, using an extrusion laminating apparatus, a laminate having an extrusion laminate coating thickness of 20 μm was prepared on a biaxially oriented polypropylene film having a processing speed of 40 m / min and a thickness of 20 μm. The difference in the width of the inside resin composition layer was defined as neck-in. The smaller the neck-in, the wider the effective product width and the better the extrusion laminate processability.
(3) HAZE:
The measurement was performed according to JIS K7105. The smaller this value, the better the transparency.
(4) LSI (narrow angle diffuse transmitted light value):
Measurement was performed using a visual transparency tester manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho. LSI is a measurement of the light scattering amount at a small angle, and is used as a standard of transparency for making the package contents look clearer.
The smaller this value, the better the transparency, that is, the contents look clear.
