Description

  The present invention relates to a polypropylene-based resin composition and an injection-molded product, and particularly to a polypropylene resin composition that can be suitably used for a thin molded product and an injection-molded product using the same.

Polypropylene has the characteristics of high melting point, high tensile strength, high rigidity, and chemical resistance, and thus is widely used in many fields. Recently, a polypropylene resin composition capable of molding a thinner molded product in a shorter molding time has been demanded in order to suppress the production cost from the increase in raw material price due to the naphtha surge.
As one of means for solving this problem, there is a technique using a so-called “high flow material” in which the melt flow rate is increased. According to the high fluidity material, the moldability is improved and a thin molded product can be obtained. However, there is a problem that a flow mark tends to occur.

A flow mark is a trasima-like pattern appearing on the surface appearance of a molded product, and a molded product in which the flow mark is generated impairs the design as a product, and the product value is remarkably lowered. For example, Patent Documents 1 to 3 disclose flow marks as improved techniques.
However, even if these techniques are used, it is extremely difficult to obtain an injection molded product in which a flow mark is not substantially generated depending on the thickness of the molded product.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. However, the description of the constituent elements described below is an example of the embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these contents.

The polypropylene resin composition of the present invention comprises a polypropylene resin (X) 5 to 5 having a long chain branched structure having the following properties (i) to (iv) modified with an organic peroxide: It contains 99% by weight and 1 to 95% by weight of a propylene homopolymer or a propylene-α-olefin copolymer (Y).

Satisfy one of the following.
Characteristic (iv): 25 degreeC paraxylene soluble component amount (CXS) is less than 5.0 weight% with respect to polypropylene resin (X) whole quantity.

[Polypropylene resin (X)]
The polypropylene resin (x) used for organic peroxide modification in the present invention is a polypropylene resin having a branched structure, and satisfies the properties (i) to (iv) as described above.

Characteristic (i): MFR
The melt flow rate (MFR) of the polypropylene resin (x) needs to be in the range of 0.1 to 30 g / 10 minutes, preferably 0.3 to 20 g / 10 minutes, and more preferably 0.5 to 10 g / 10 min. Below this range, the fluidity is insufficient and a problem of poor extrusion occurs at the time of injection molding. On the other hand, those exceeding it do not exhibit high rigidity and high impact resistance.
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 of the polypropylene resin (x), or 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): Molecular weight distribution by GPC Polypropylene resin (x) needs to have a relatively wide molecular weight distribution, and molecular weight distribution Mw / Mn obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) (where Mw is The weight average molecular weight, Mn is the number average molecular weight) must be 3.0 or more and 10 or less. 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.
Further, it is necessary that Mz / Mw (where Mz is the Z average molecular weight), which is a parameter that more significantly represents the breadth of the molecular weight distribution, is 2.5 or more and 10 or less. 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 moldability is improved, but when Mw / Mn and Mz / Mw are in this range, the moldability is particularly excellent.

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: Waters GPC (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 ° C
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 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 × M ^α 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 adjust Mw / Mn to 3.0 to 10 and Mz / Mw to 2.5 to 10, the temperature and pressure conditions of propylene polymerization are changed, or the most common technique is hydrogen or the like The chain transfer agent can be easily adjusted by adding the chain transfer agent 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 (iii): Melt tension (MT)
Furthermore, the polypropylene resin (x) 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 is extremely high, the resin may break at a take-off speed of 4.0 m / min. In such a case, the take-off speed is lowered and the maximum speed at which the take-off can be performed. The tension at is defined as MT. The measurement conditions and units of MFR are as described above.

This regulation on melt tension is an index for the polypropylene resin (x) having a branched structure to have sufficient melt tension to exhibit high rigidity and high impact resistance. Generally, MT is correlated with MFR. Therefore, it is defined by the relational expression with MFR.
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
By satisfying any of the above, it can be said that the resin has a sufficiently high melt tension, and is useful for developing high rigidity and high impact resistance after modification with an organic peroxide.
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 value 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. This can be achieved by controlling the amount ratio and prepolymerization conditions to introduce a large amount of long chain branches.

Characteristic (iv): 25 ° C. Paraxylene soluble component amount (CXS)
The polypropylene resin (x) preferably has high stereoregularity and has a low amount of low crystalline component that causes stickiness and bleed out of the molded product. This low crystalline component is evaluated by the amount of xylene soluble component (CXS) at 25 ° C., and in the present invention, it is necessary to be less than 5.0% by weight based on the total amount of the polypropylene resin (x). Preferably it is 3.0 weight% or less, More preferably, it is 1.0 weight% or less, More preferably, it is 0.5 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.

In addition, the detail of the measuring method of 25 degreeC xylene soluble component amount (CXS) is as follows.
A 2 g sample (polypropylene resin (x)) is dissolved in 300 ml of p-xylene (containing 0.5 mg / ml BHT) at 130 ° C. to form 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 xylene-soluble components at room temperature. 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.

  In addition, the polypropylene resin (x) subjected to organic peroxide modification in the present invention preferably satisfies the following characteristics (v) to (vii) in addition to the characteristics (i) to (iv).

Characteristic (v): Branch index g ′
As a direct indicator that the polypropylene resin (x) 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 by using, for example, a GPC equipped with a light scatterometer and a viscometer as described below.

  When the absolute molecular weight Mabs determined by light scattering is 1,000,000, the polypropylene resin (x) preferably has g ′ of 0.30 or more and less than 1.00, more preferably 0.55 or more and 0.98 or less, More preferably, it is 0.75 or more and 0.96 or less, and particularly preferably 0.78 or more and 0.95 or less.

  In the polypropylene resin (x), it is considered that a comb chain is preferably formed as a molecular structure, and when the branching index g ′ is less than 0.30, the main chain is small and the ratio of the side chain is extremely large. In such a case, the melt tension may not be improved or a gel may be generated. On the other hand, when it is 1.00 or more, this means that there is no long chain branching, and high rigidity and high impact resistance are not exhibited.

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 formula, the number of branches is extremely large for a comb chain, that is, p is infinite, and g ′ = gε = λε, which is not less than the value of λε. There will be a value.

  On the other hand, a conventionally known random branched chain formula that is considered to occur in the case of electron beam irradiation or peroxide degradation is given by the formula (19) on page 485 in the same document. In the branched chain, as the number of branch points increases, g ′ and g value monotonously decrease without any lower limit value. 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 conventional electron beam irradiation or peroxide degradation becomes clearer.

  Further, in a branched polymer having a structure close to a comb chain in which g ′ is in the above range, when the kneading is repeated, the degree of decrease in melt tension is small. The decrease 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 (an antioxidant “Irganox 1076” manufactured by BASF Japan Ltd. is added 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, the 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 radius of inertia 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. ) 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 (“Novatec PP (registered trademark)” manufactured by Nippon Polypro Co., Ltd., grade name: FY6) 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 the 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): Propylene unit triple chain mm fraction by ¹³ C-NMR The polypropylene resin (x) is characterized by high stereoregularity. Stereoregularity of the ^height 13 that can be evaluated by ^{C-NMR, 13 C-NMR} mm fraction of the propylene unit triad sequences obtained by it is preferably 95% or more.
As for the mm fraction, the upper limit of the ratio 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.
Accordingly, the mm fraction is preferably 95% or more, more preferably 96% or more, and still 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).
Note that 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 (vii): strain hardening degree (λmax)
A further additional characteristic of the polypropylene resin (x) is that the degree of strain hardening (λmax (0.1)) in the measurement of the extensional viscosity at a strain rate of 0.1 s ⁻¹ is 6.0 or more.
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, there is an effect of finely dispersing rubber during injection molding, and the impact resistance of the injection molded product is improved. The strain hardening degree is preferably 6.0 or more, and 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 a 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 ηE (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 ηE until the strain amount becomes 4.0 is obtained, and the viscosity on the approximate straight line up to that time is ηlin. ηmax / ηlin is defined as λmax (0.1).

[Production method of polypropylene resin (x)]
The polypropylene resin (x) having a branched structure is not particularly limited as long as the above-described properties are satisfied, but as described above, the low low crystalline component amount, the high stereoregularity, the relatively wide molecular weight. A preferable production method for satisfying all the conditions of 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. It can be introduced into the side chain by a simple method, and is preferable as the polypropylene resin (x), and has a high stereoregularity and a low amount of low crystalline component, the propylene unit tri-chain mm fraction and paraxylene It is suitable for satisfying characteristics relating to the amount of soluble component (CXS).
In addition, by using the above-mentioned method, it is possible to broaden the molecular weight distribution by using two types of catalysts having greatly different polymerization characteristics, and simultaneously satisfy the characteristics relating to the melt tension, the molecular weight distribution Mw / Mn, and the branching index g ′. It is preferable.

Below, the preferable manufacturing method of polypropylene resin (x) which has a branched structure is described in detail.

(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. The contact temperature is not particularly limited, but it is preferably performed between −20 ° C. and + 150 ° C. As the contact order, any desired combination can be used, but particularly preferable ones for each component are as follows.

When the catalyst component (C) is used, before the catalyst component (A) and the catalyst component (B) are contacted, the catalyst component (A), or the catalyst component (B), or the catalyst component (A) and the catalyst are used. Contacting catalyst component (C) with both components (B), or contacting catalyst component (C) with catalyst component (A) and catalyst component (B), or catalyst component Although it is possible to contact the catalyst component (C) after bringing the catalyst component (B) into contact with (A), it is preferable that the catalyst component be brought into contact with the catalyst component (A) before contacting the catalyst component (B).

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.

  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.

The polymerization temperature is usually 0 ° C. or higher and 150 ° C. or lower. In particular, when bulk polymerization is used, the temperature is preferably 40 ° C or higher, more preferably 50 ° C or higher. The upper limit is preferably 80 ° C. or lower, and more preferably 75 ° C. or lower.

Furthermore, when using vapor phase polymerization, 1.5 MPa or more is preferable, and 1.7 MPa or more is more preferable. Further, the upper limit is preferably 2.5 MPa or less, and more preferably 2.3 MPa or less.

Furthermore, as a molecular weight regulator and for an activity improving effect, hydrogen is supplementarily in a molar ratio with respect to propylene, preferably in the range of 1.0 × 10 ⁻⁶ or more and 1.0 × 10 ⁻² or less. Can be used.
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 physical 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.

  Moreover, you may perform the copolymerization which uses a C2-C20 alpha olefin comonomer except propylene, for example, ethylene and / or 1-butene as a comonomer other than a propylene monomer.

  Therefore, in order to obtain a polypropylene resin (x) having a good balance between catalytic activity and melt properties, it is preferable to copolymerize ethylene and / or 1-butene. It is preferably used at 15 mol% or less, more preferably 10 mol% or less, and even 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.

Triisobutylaluminum (0.84 mmol: 1.2 mL of a heptane solution with a concentration of 143 mg / mL) was added to a 1 L flask containing the chemically treated smectite, and then the above solution 1 was added and stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. Thereafter, triisobutylaluminum (0.36 mmol: 0.50 mL of a heptane solution having a concentration of 143 mg / mL) was added, and then the above solution 2 was added and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour.
Thereafter, 338 mL of heptane was added, and this slurry was introduced into a 1 L autoclave.
After the internal temperature of the autoclave was set to 40 ° C., propylene was fed at a rate of 10 g / hour, and prepolymerization was performed while maintaining the temperature at 40 ° C. for 4 hours. Thereafter, propylene feed was stopped and residual polymerization was carried out for 1 hour. After removing the supernatant of the resulting catalyst slurry by decantation, triisobutylaluminum (6 mmol: 17.0 mL of a heptane solution having a concentration of 143 mg / mL) was added to the remaining portion and stirred for 5 minutes.
This solid was dried under reduced pressure for 1 hour to obtain 52.8 g of a dry prepolymerized catalyst. The prepolymerization ratio (value obtained by dividing the amount of prepolymerized polymer by the amount of solid catalyst) was 1.64.
Hereinafter, this is referred to as “preliminary polymerization catalyst 1”.

<Polymerization>
After sufficiently replacing the inside of the stirring autoclave having an internal volume of 200 liters with propylene, 40 kg of sufficiently dehydrated liquefied propylene was introduced. To this was added 4.4 liters of hydrogen (as a standard volume) and 470 ml (0.12 mol) of a triisobutylaluminum / n-heptane solution, and the internal temperature was raised to 70 ° C. Next, 2.4 g of the prepolymerized catalyst 1 (by weight excluding the prepolymerized polymer) was injected with argon to initiate polymerization, and the internal temperature was maintained at 70 ° C. After 2 hours, 100 ml of ethanol was injected, purged of unreacted propylene, and the inside of the autoclave was purged with nitrogen to terminate the polymerization.
The obtained polymer was dried at 90 ° C. under a nitrogen stream for 1 hour to obtain 16.5 kg of a polymer (x1). The catalytic activity was 6880 (g-PP / g-cat).
