Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce the titled copolymer saponificate excellent in properties such as mechanical properties and environmental stress cracking, by heating a specified saponified ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer. CONSTITUTION:An ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer of a vinyl acetate content of 10-60wt% is saponified in the presence of a saponification catalyst comprising an alkali metal compound such as a hydroxide or alkoxide of Na or K to obtain a saponificate of a degree of saponification of 50-99wt%. After decreasing the moisture content of this saponificate to 1wt% or blow, it is heated to 60-250 deg.C in the presence of 100-2,000ppm of an alkali catalyst (e.g., NaOH) in a CO2 gas-free atmosphere to reduce the MI value before the treatment to about 1/5-2/3.

Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer can be produced by high-pressure polymerization, solution polymerization,
Manufactured by digital copolymerization such as suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization. By the way, when saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is used in powder coatings, it is necessary to improve the adhesion of the powder coating to metal, to suppress the occurrence of environmental stress cracks, and to increase surface hardness. In order to improve the quality of the powder coating, such as to improve gloss, it is preferable to use an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with a relatively high vinyl acetate content as a raw material. Therefore, when attempting to produce an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with a high vinyl acetate content by radical copolymerization, the vinyl acetate unit has a high free radical chain transfer property, so the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer has a low melt index that satisfies the physical properties of powder coatings. Vinyl acetate copolymers cannot be easily produced. For this reason, a method of adding a polyisocyanate compound to a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer for the purpose of improving the physical properties for powder coatings (JP-A-51-5858, JP-A-5O-
116525) has been proposed.

Saponification of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer can be carried out by known methods. For example, a homogeneous system in a good solvent of hydrocarbons such as toluene or xylene, or a mixed solvent system in which an alcohol such as methanol is added to this, or a non-solvent in which an alcohol such as methanol or ethanol and water is added as necessary. In the heterogeneous system inside, alkali metal compounds such as sodium and potassium hydroxides and alkoxides are used as saponification reaction catalysts for saponification. A saponification rate of 50 to 99% is suitable. If the saponification rate is less than 50% by weight, the hardness decreases and the quality for powder coatings etc. deteriorates, which is not preferable. Furthermore, if the saponification rate is 99% by weight or more, the melt index will not decrease much even if the method of the present invention is applied, which is not preferable.

Any heat treatment method may be used as long as the saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer can be stored and heated, but since the alkaline catalyst is deactivated when it absorbs carbon dioxide gas in the air, is not desirable. A reduced pressure heater, a reduced pressure dryer, a heater in an inert gas atmosphere not containing carbon dioxide gas, a dryer, etc. are used. Melt kneading is also one method, and an extruder, Pan Bali mixer, roll, etc. can be used. The heat treatment time is
It varies depending on the saponification rate of the saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, the amount of alkali catalyst, the heating temperature, the heat treatment method, and the target melt index of the saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer after treatment. One method is to check changes over time. Through these heat treatments, the melt index value before treatment was reduced to 115.
It is preferable to reduce it to about 2/3.
