からなる混合物の製造法に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method for producing an ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin mixture with excellent extrudability. More specifically, an ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin with excellent extrusion moldability, storage stability, and powder fluidity suitable for obtaining a drawn ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin product having a high modulus of elasticity and high tensile strength, and a flow improver for solids at room temperature. It relates to a method for producing a mixture consisting of.

It is already known that a molecularly oriented molded product having a high elastic modulus and high tensile strength can be obtained by stretching this material. It is described that the resulting filament is drawn.

の実用化においては多量の溶媒の処理、生産性等の問題
点があることから、超高分子量ポリオレフィンの高濃度
溶液からの紡糸技術の開発が望まれている。However, since polyolefins with large molecular weights are extremely @M soluble in solvents, it is difficult to obtain a highly concentrated homogeneous solution, which is why the general description in the publication states that a solution of 1 to 50% by weight should be used. However, it is clear from the fact that the example only discloses a method using a solution with a low concentration of about 8% by weight at most, and 3% by weight for those with a molecular weight of 1 million or more. In practical application of this method, there are problems such as processing of a large amount of solvent and productivity, so there is a desire to develop a spinning technique from a highly concentrated solution of ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin.

号公軸)が提案されている。As a method for producing a homogeneous solution of an ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin, a room temperature liquid solvent and an ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin are mixed and stirred at a temperature below the dissolution temperature of the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin to form a suspension, and then the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin is mixed and stirred. A method of supplying the material to an extruder maintained at a melting temperature to make it uniform (JP-A-61-73743, JP-A-61-89232)
No. 1 public axis) has been proposed.

と比較例Cに記されている。However, in methods using a solvent that is liquid at room temperature, such as this method, if stirring is stopped when the solvent and ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin are mixed, the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin will precipitate, resulting in a non-uniform suspension, so stirring is required at all times. There is a need,
It is difficult to store the suspension as a suspension in advance.Also, when trying to knead and extrude a suspension containing a solvent with a single screw extruder, the suspension and screw may rotate together, and the screw may rotate inside the extruder. There is a risk that the solvent and the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin will partially separate and a homogeneous solution will not be obtained.In fact, JP-A-61-8
All of the examples described in Publication No. 9232 are examples using a two-wheel screw extruder, and it is stated in Comparative Example C that when a normal single-screw extruder is used, the filament is non-uniform and the drawability is poor. There is.

混合物として貯蔵しておくことが困難である。However, even if such a method is used, the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin may not be sufficiently dispersed when using a single-screw extruder depending on the pretreatment conditions when mixing the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin and the fluidity improver that is solid at room temperature. It has been found. In other words, simply mixing the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin and the fluidity improver that is solid at room temperature in a solid state using a Henschel mixer or the like may not achieve a sufficiently uniform melt-mixing using a single-screw extruder; 1986
In the method described in Japanese Patent No. 197752, in which a powder mixture of an ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin and a fluidity improver is left at a temperature higher than the melting point of the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin, the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin melts and the mixture Since the viscosity of the mixture becomes extremely high, it is necessary to uniformly melt-knead it using a melt-kneader such as a Banbury mixer before feeding it to an extruder, as described in the publication. Furthermore, when a mixture that has been melt-kneaded is solidified, a slight phase separation occurs, and the solidified blend exhibits poor drawability even if it is melted again, probably due to the entanglement of the molecules of the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately supply the melt-kneaded mixture to an extruder or the like, and it is difficult to store it in advance as a premix.

が高過ぎて押出成形性に劣る傾向にある。If the intrinsic viscosity [η] is less than 5 dl/g, a homogeneous mixture can be easily prepared, but because the molecular chain is short, it tends to be difficult to achieve high elastic modulus and high strength properties. The upper limit of the intrinsic viscosity [η] is not particularly limited, but if it exceeds 30 a/g, the melt viscosity is too high even when the fluidity improver (B) is added, and extrusion moldability tends to be poor.

Since it is a mixture of solids dispersed at room temperature, it can be easily made into homogeneous filaments, sheets, films, etc. using a normal extruder, i.e. a single screw extruder.
Molded products such as pipes, rods, tapes, etc. can be melt-extruded. Although the mixture obtained by the method of the present invention can be molded into a sufficiently homogeneous molded product using a single-screw extruder, molding using other extrusion molding machines such as a multi-screw extruder is not excluded.

Pipes, tapes, etc. have excellent stretchability because the fluidity improver (B) is homogeneously dispersed in the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin (A), and can be stretched at a temperature below the melting point of the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin (A).
