Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to crystalline polypropylene, and more particularly to crystalline polypropylene having excellent rigidity and heat resistance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Polypropylene has excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and electrical properties, and also has excellent rigidity, tensile strength, optical characteristics, and processability, and is injection molded, film molded, sheet molded, blow molded, etc. In addition, polypropylene has a light specific gravity and is widely used in fields such as containers and packaging materials. However, depending on the application, these properties are not sufficiently satisfied, and there are many cases where the use is restricted.

Among the above-mentioned performances, polypropylene is polystyrene, AB
It is inferior to S resin. Therefore, polypropylene cannot be used as a material for producing a molded product requiring rigidity and heat resistance, and the above-mentioned polystyrene or A is used as a material for a molded product requiring rigidity and heat resistance.
When polypropylene is intentionally used instead of the BS resin, in order to satisfy the above-mentioned properties, it is necessary to form a thick molded product, which prevents the molded product from being thin and increases the cost of the molded product. That is, it prevents expansion of the application of polypropylene or polypropylene composition.

If polypropylene has excellent rigidity, chemical resistance, moldability, heat resistance, hardness, etc., such polypropylene is polystyrene or AB.
As an alternative to the S resin, the application can be expanded, and since a thin molded product can be finished, resource saving and cost reduction can be expected.

As a known technique for improving the rigidity of crystalline polypropylene, for example, an organic nucleating agent such as paratertiary butyl benzoic acid aluminum salt or 1,3-2,4-dibenzylidene sorbitol is added for molding. Although there is a method, there is a drawback that the cost is high and it is not economical, and the addition thereof greatly reduces gloss, impact strength, tensile elongation and the like. As another means for improving rigidity, there is a method of using various inorganic fillers such as talc, calcium carbonate, mica, valium sulfate, asbestos, and calcium silicate, but the lightness and transparency characteristic of polypropylene are impaired. In addition, there is a drawback that impact strength, gloss, tensile elongation, workability, etc. are deteriorated.

Therefore, in order to improve the rigidity and heat resistance of polypropylene, it is necessary to develop polypropylene having high crystallinity, and attempts have been made to develop crystalline polypropylene by devising a polymerization catalyst and a polymerization method. Although slightly improved, it is still inadequate, transparency is insufficient, and even if the aim is to develop polypropylene with high isotacticity, the isotacticity is still within the range of conventional technology. The effect of improving the rigidity of the molded product is still insufficient.

[0007]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has improved rigidity, heat resistance, and high hardness due to improved crystallinity, and has fatigue characteristics, wear resistance, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and molding. Provided is a novel propylene homopolymer having excellent properties.

[0008]

As a result of intensive studies, the inventors of the present invention have found that it is necessary to improve the stereoregularity in order to increase the rigidity and heat resistance of polypropylene, and the stereoregularity is related to the density. When the density [d] is used as a measure of the stereoregularity, the value of the density [d] that exhibits high rigidity and high heat resistance is not a constant value but depends on the melt flow rate (MFR) of polypropylene. It is found that the stereoregularity of polypropylene changes with the density [d].
It is found that the crystalline polypropylene exhibits high rigidity and high heat resistance when the relation [d] and MFR satisfy the relation [d] ≧ 0.9060 + 0.0010logMFR. Has been completed. Furthermore, although the crystalline polypropylene can be produced by various polymerization catalysts and polymerization means, the crystalline polypropylene can be easily produced by using the specific stereoregular polymerization catalyst previously invented by the present inventors. This led to the completion of the second invention of the present application.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION That is, the gist of the present invention is that a melt flow rate (MFR) measured according to ASTM D-1238 is 0.0.
A crystalline polypropylene characterized by having a density [d] and MFR satisfying a relationship of [d] ≧ 0.9060 + 0.0010logMFR in the range of 1 to 1,000, and (A) magnesium. A solid component containing titanium, halogen, an electron donating compound as an essential component, and (D) an olefin in the presence of (B) an organoaluminum compound and (C) an organosilicon compound represented by the following general formula (1): A polypropylene obtained by polymerizing propylene using an α-olefin polymerization catalyst component thus obtained, which has a melt flow rate (MFR) measured according to ASTM D-1238 in the range of 0.01 to 1,000. , The density [d] and the MFR satisfy the relationship of [d] ≧ 0.9060 + 0.0010logMFR.
