본 발명은 높은 용융강도 및 우수한 외관을 갖는 중공성형용 에틸렌 중합체 또는 에틸렌 공중합체의 제조방법에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 어느 한 개의 반응기에서 저분자량의 고분자를 제조하고, 다른 한 개의 반응기에서 고분자량의 고분자를 제조하는 슬러리상의 두 개의 중합반응기를 사용하는 에틸렌의 직렬 또는 병렬 중합반응에 있어서, 고체착물 티타늄 촉매를 주촉매로서 사용하고, 유기알루미늄 화합물을 조촉매로서 사용하고, 추가로 에틸알루미늄세스퀴클로라이드를 알루미늄/티타늄 몰비기준으로 0.5~5.0으로 투입하므로써, 높은 용융강도 및 우수한 외관을 갖는 중공성형용 에틸렌 중합체 또는 에틸렌 공중합체의 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for producing a blow molding ethylene polymer or ethylene copolymer having a high melt strength and excellent appearance, and more particularly, to prepare a low molecular weight polymer in one reactor, and high in another reactor In series or parallel polymerization of ethylene using two slurry reactors for preparing a polymer having a molecular weight, a solid complex titanium catalyst is used as a main catalyst, an organoaluminum compound is used as a promoter, and further ethyl aluminum The present invention relates to a method for producing a blow molding ethylene polymer or ethylene copolymer having high melt strength and excellent appearance by adding sesquichloride in an amount of 0.5 to 5.0 based on aluminum / titanium molar ratio.
폴리에틸렌 중공성형 용기는 용량에 따라 1ℓ 이하의 소형용기, 1~20ℓ의 중형용기, 20ℓ 이상의 대형용기로 구분되며, 소형용기에는 샴푸, 린스 등 생활용품이 주로 적용되고, 중형용기에는 식용유, 우유, 간장 등의 식품용품이 주로 적용되고, 대형용기에는 화학약품 등의 케미칼류가 주로 적용된다. Polyethylene blow molding containers are divided into small containers of less than 1ℓ, medium containers of 1 ~ 20ℓ, and large containers of more than 20ℓ, and household goods such as shampoo and rinse are mainly applied to small containers, and cooking oil, milk, Food products such as soy sauce are mainly applied, and chemicals such as chemicals are mainly applied to large containers.
최근 중소형 용기를 중심으로 한 용기의 투명화 추세로 폴리에틸렌 테레프탈레이트 수지의 사용량이 증가되고 있으며, 이로 인해 종래의 폴리에틸렌 용기에 대한 외관품질 향상 요구가 점차 증가되고 있는 상태이다.Recently, the use of polyethylene terephthalate resin is increasing due to the tendency of the container centering on small and medium-sized containers, and as a result, the demand for improving the appearance quality of the conventional polyethylene container is gradually increasing.
대한민국특허 제2003-0066409호에서는 비틀림 강도, 환경응력균열내성(ESCR성), 내충격 강도 및 외관이 우수한 중공성형용 폴리에틸렌 수지로서 용융지수(MFR, 2.16kg 하중) 0.1~2.0g/10분, 밀도 0.957~0.967g/㎤, 용융지수비(MFR21.6/MFR2.16)가 200 이하인 수지를 기술하고 있다. Korean Patent No. 2003-0066409 is a hollow plastic polyethylene resin with excellent torsion strength, environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR resistance), impact resistance and appearance, and melt index (MFR, 2.16kg load) 0.1 ~ 2.0g / 10min, density A resin having a 0.957 to 0.967 g / cm 3 and melt index ratio (MFR21.6 / MFR2.16) of 200 or less is described.
그러나 이러한 방식으로 제조된 폴리에틸렌 수지가 모든 용기에 대해 상기에 기술된 특성을 만족시키지는 못한다. 예를 들면, 용융지수비가 너무 크거나 너무 작은 경우에는 중형용기 적용시 다이라인 발생 및 용융강도 저하에 의한 패리슨 처짐 및 중량미달 현상이 발생하는 문제점이 발생한다.However, polyethylene resins prepared in this manner do not satisfy the properties described above for all containers. For example, when the melt index ratio is too large or too small, problems arise in that the parison deflection and underweight occur due to the die line generation and the melt strength decrease when the medium container is applied.
대한민국특허 제2004-7004825호에서는 높은 환경응력균열내성 및 광택성이 발현되는 수지로서 용융지수가 0.5~2.0g/10분, 밀도가 0.925~0.940g/㎤, 분자량분포가 2~7인 것을 특징으로 하는 메탈로센 촉매계 폴리에틸렌 수지를 기술하고 있다. 그러나 이렇게 제조된 수지는 분자량분포가 너무 좁고 분자량이 낮아 중형용기 성형에는 부적합하다.Korean Patent No. 2004-7004825 is a resin that exhibits high environmental stress crack resistance and gloss resistance, and has a melt index of 0.5 to 2.0 g / 10 minutes, a density of 0.925 to 0.940 g / cm 3, and a molecular weight distribution of 2 to 7. A metallocene catalyst based polyethylene resin is described. However, the resin thus prepared is too narrow in molecular weight distribution and low in molecular weight, which is not suitable for forming a medium container.

If the aluminum / titanium molar ratio is less than 0.5, the molecular weight distribution is narrow, resulting in low melt strength and appearance defects such as die line.
