Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the preparation of a solid ethylene polymer product, containing from 0.0 to 20% by weight of repeating units of a C3-C 10 ⁇ " olefm and having a broad molecular weight distribution.
  • the ethylene polymers having narrow molecular weight distribution are not satisfactory, because of the poor melt flow properties and poor processability. Therefore, different approaches have been suggested for manu ⁇ facturing polyethylenes having a broad molecular weight distribution.
  • One approach to widen the molecular weight distribution is to blend a low molecular weight ethyl- ene polymer with a high molecular weight ethylene polymer either mechanically or in solution. More than two ethylene polymers having different molecular weights can also be mixed together.
  • US 5,326,835 discloses a multi-stage - process for producing ethylene polymer having a bimodal and/or broad molecular weight distribution in a multi-step reaction sequence.
  • the first reaction step is performed in a loop reactor and one or more subsequent steps are performed in one or more gas phase reactors.
  • the molecular weight distribution can be controlled by using different concentrations of hydrogen chain transfer agent and co-monomer in different steps.
  • bimodal and multimodal distribution is generally and in connection with the present invention meant a broad molecular weight distribution produced by blending two or more polymer components with different molecular weights or by polymer ⁇ izing to different molecular weights in a process with two or more reactors in series.
  • Unimodal distribution is obtained with essentially only one molecular weight fraction.
  • the ethylene polymers produced up till now have not had entirely satisfactory properties. This applies for the processability properties in general, and for the melt strength of the unloaded polymer melt during processing in particular. The latter property is important eg. for bubble stability during film blowing and controlled orientation during extrusion, especially the extrusion of ethylene polymer film.
  • EP 0 700 769 discloses the treatment of polyethylene with a broad molecular weight distribution using oxygen or oxygen containing gas.
  • the feeding of oxygen into a melt porcessing apparatus is uncontrollable and does not result in broadened molecular weight distribution. See page 6, lines 15 and 16 of said EP application.
  • the oxidized polyethylene is preferentially prepared by chromium oxide catalyst.
  • an ethylene polymer product is produced, which contains from 0.0 to 20% by weight of repeating units of a C3-C10 ⁇ -olefms and has a broad molecular weight distribution.
  • step (b) the blend of step (a) is heated and melt processed into a molten ethylene polymer having a fourth average molecular weight and fourth molecular weight distribution; a stabilizer is optionally added in step (b), and
  • step (b) The process according to the invention is substantially characterized in that in the above step (b), the blend of step (a) is subjected to controlled free radical reactions so that the fourth average molecular weight is higher than, or approximately equal to, the third average molecular weight, and the fourth molecular weight distribution is broader than the third at least bimodal molecular weight distribution.
  • MFR Melt Flow Rate
  • Flow Rate Ratio (FRR m l/ m 2) is meant the ratio between the melt flow rate (MFR m l) measured at a standard temperature and witi standard die dimensions using a heavy load ( m l)and the melt flow rate (MFR m 2) measured at the same temperature with the same die dimensions using a light load (m2).
  • the heavy load ml is 21.6 kg and the light load m ⁇ is 5.0 kg or 2.16 kg (ISO H33).
  • step (b) of the claimed process the blend of step (a) is heated, melt processed into a molten ethylene polymer, and subjected to free radical reactions.
  • step (a) is subjected to free radical reactions to such an extent that me relative MFR5 decreases, that is -(MFR 5 - MFR 3 5):MFR 3 5, is from 5 to 100%, preferentially from 10 to 80%.
  • the upper limit is not to be interpreted as a limitation, but it has only a descriptive function, which is based on the experimental results obtained in connection with the present invention. Anyhow, it appears that the melt viscosity increases by several tens of per cent, which means that me controlled radical essentially lead to the combination of radical fragments into larger ethylene polymer molecules than before the free radical reactions. Indeed, it was very surprising that the subjection of an ethylene polymer having a bimodal or multimodal distribution to free radical reactions would lead to an increase of the molecular weight and thus to an increase in the melt strength and the mechanical properties of the product.
  • step (b) of the claimed process the blend of step (a) is preferentially subjected to controlled free radical reactions so that the relative broadening (increase) of the molecular weight distribution expressed as +(FRR ⁇ 2i/5 - FRR 3 2l/5):FRR 3 21/5 is from 5 to 100%, most preferentially from 10 to 80%.
  • the molecular weight distribution would be broadened by free radical reactions, since the above mentioned controlled rheology process for polypropylene led to a narrowing of the molecular weight distribution and the oxygenation of poly ⁇ ethylene did not influence it.
  • the upper limit of the disclosed flow rate ratios are not to be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection, but is only based on the embodiment of the examples.
  • Free radical reactions can be effected in many ways. Firstly, free radicals may be generated from initiators in diverse ways, among which thermal or photochemical intermolecular bond cleavage, redox reactions, and photochemical hydrogen abstraction are the most common, but other processes such as the use of ⁇ -radiation or electron beams find application. Free radicals can also be generated by means of reaction of the ethylene polymer blend by means of thermal decomposition with or without the presence of oxygen. Thermal treatment is a suitable method, especially if unstabilized polyethylene is used or if the used ethylene polymer is destabilized during the treatment.
  • diacylperoxides such as dibenzoyl peroxide BPO, di(2,4-dichloro- benzoyl) peroxide, diacetyl peroxide, dilauroyl peroxide, didecanoyl peroxide, diisononanoyl peroxide and succinic acid peroxide; commercial peroxy esters, such as di-terf-butyl diperoxyphthalate, tert-butyl perbenzoate, tert-but l peracetate, tert- amyl perbenzoate, 2,5-di(benzoylperoxy)-2,5-dimethylhexane, tert-butyl peroxyma- leic acid, ter/-butyl peroxyisobutyrate, tert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate(tert-butyl peroctoate), /er/--

  • radical generation can be controlled experimentally with normal work and without inventive skill. What the skilled person did not know was that it was possible to increase the molecular weight and broaden the molecular weight distribution thus improving the melt strength and mechamcal properties of bi- and multimodal ethylene polymers by controlled free radical reactions during melt processing.

Abstract

Les produits à base de polymère d'éthylène qui possèdent une répartition de poids moléculaire bimodale ou multi-modale, présentent certes de bonnes propriétés mécaniques et d'aptitude au traitement, mais ces dernières demeurent toutefois insuffisantes. Ces produits à base de polymère d'éthylène bimodal ou multi-modal ont pu être améliorés en effectuant les étapes suivantes. (a) On forme tout d'abord un mélange comprenant les éléments suivants: un premier polymère d'éthylène qui possède un premier poids moléculaire moyen et une première répartition de poids moléculaire; et au moins un deuxième polymère d'éthylène qui possède un deuxième poids moléculaire moyen supérieur à celui du premier, ainsi qu'une deuxième répartition de poids moléculaire, ce qui permet d'obtenir un mélange possédant un troisième poids moléculaire moyen et une troisième répartition de poids moléculaire qui est au moins bimodale. On procède ensuite (b) au chauffage et à la fusion du mélange obtenu lors de l'étape (a), ceci de manière à obtenir un polymère d'éthylène fondu qui possède un quatrième poids moléculaire moyen et une quatrième répartition de poids moléculaire. On procède enfin (c) au refroidissement et à la solidification du polymère d'éthylène fondu de manière à obtenir le produit à base de polymère d'éthylène voulu. Lors de l'étape (b), le mélange obtenu au cours de l'étape (a) est soumis aux réactions régulées de radicaux libres, ceci de manière à ce que le quatrième poids moléculaire moyen soit supérieur ou à peu près égal au troisième, et à ce que la quatrième répartition de poids moléculaire soit plus étendue que la troisième qui est au moins bimodale.
