Definitions

  • the invention relates to polyolefin compositions with improved impact strength and improved optical properties. More particularly the invention relates to polyolefin compositions , especially polypropylene compositions with improved impact strength at temperatures below room temperature, especially at temperatures below 0°C, having improved optical properties, especially higher transparency and lower haze.
  • compositions of the inventions are particularly useful for packaging applications, especially for food packaging for deep freezing application.
  • Polypropylene homopolymers are widely used in packaging applications.
  • Polypropylene homopolymers show balanced properties and are cheap, easily decomposable polymers, but they show poor transparency and low impact strength.
  • nucleating agents are for example talcum, disorbitol, organic phosphates and the like.
  • compositions with improved impact strength and improved optical properties are for example propylene/ ⁇ -olefin random copolymers, wherein the -olefin is ethylene or an ⁇ -olefin with 4 - 10 carbon atoms.
  • the -olefin is ethylene or an ⁇ -olefin with 4 - 10 carbon atoms.
  • impact strength at lower temperature i.e. 0°C and below is still not satisfying.
  • Propylene/ ⁇ -olefin random copolymers have a ductile to brittle transition temperature between -5°C and 5°C depending on the monomer content and therefore impact strength at lower temperatures is still very poor.
  • heterophasic polymer compositions have been suggested.
  • Heterophasic polymers are polymers having a matrix phase (phase 1) and a second phase.
  • the matrix phase is usually a polypropylene homopolymer or polypropylene/ ⁇ -olefin copolymer phase and the second phase is usually a propylene/ ⁇ -olefin rubber polymer.
  • the polymers of the second phase have low glass transition temperatures, usually below -30°C. Therefore impact strength of such heterophasic systems is rather satisfying, even for deep freezing applications.
  • a major drawback is the poor transparency due mostly due to big rubber particles in the heterophasic system.
  • EP-B 0 373 660 discloses heterophasic polymer systems with improved impact strength and improved transparency an elastomeric propylene/ethylene as matrix phase and a phase 2 being propylene/ ⁇ -olefin rubber, wherein the intrinsic viscosity ratio between phase 1 and phase 2 has to be a defined value, namely 0.2. Therefore the heterophasic system of the disclosure of EP B 0 373 660 is restricted to very special combinations of phase 1 and 2 polymers.
  • EP-A 0 814 127 discloses emb ttlement resistant polyolefin compositions and flexible articles thereof based on propylene homopolymers or propylene/ ⁇ -olefin copolymers and elastomeric copolymers of ethylene with propylene or butene-1.
  • the elastomeric copoylmeres enhance the flexibility without affecting the clarity of the polymer composition, which is not at least satisfying for packaging applications, although these compositions are claimed to be used for the production of medical articles and food packaging material.
  • EP B 0 593 221 discloses polypropylene resin compositions comprising polypropylenes of defined MFR and ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin copolymers with good balance between impact strength and rigidity and high moldability useful for automotive parts. These compositions do not have good optical properties, especially low transparency and high haze.
  • a further object of the invention is a process for producing polypropylene compositions for packaging applications with improved impact strength at low temperatures and good optical properties.
  • the object of the invention has been solved by providing heterophasic polymer systems which are modified by a modifier which shows improved impact strength as well as improved optical properties.

  • the heterophasic polymer of component a) may be produced by multistage process polymerisation of polypropylene or polypropylene and ⁇ -olefin such as bulk polymerisation, gas phase polymerisation, slurry polymerisation, solution polymerisation or combinations thereof using conventional catalysts.
