Definitions
- This invention pertains to polyethylene extrusion compositions.
- the invention pertains to ethylene polymer extrusion compositions in the density range 0.956g/cc to 0.863 g/cc having high drawdown and substantially reduced neck-in.
- the invention also pertains to a method of making the ethylene polymer extrusion composition and a method for making an extrusion coated article, an article in the form of an extrusion profile and an article in the form of an extrusion cast film.
- low density polyethylene made by high-pressure polymerization of ethylene with free-radical initiators as well as Linear PE (defined herein to mean linear and substantially linear homogenous and heterogeneous polyethylene copolymers and homopolymers) such as heterogeneous linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and ultra low density polyethylene (ULDPE) made by the copolymerization of ethylene and -olefins with Ziegler-Natta coordination (transition metal) catalysts at low to medium pressures can be used, for example, to extrusion coat substrates such as paper board, paper, and/or polymeric substrates; to prepare extrusion cast film for applications such as disposable diapers and food packaging; and to prepare extrusion profiles such as wire and cable jacketing.
- LLDPE linear low density polyethylene
- ULDPE ultra low density polyethylene
- LDPE extrusion compositions lack sufficient abuse resistance and toughness for many applications.
- efforts to improve abuse properties by providing LDPE compositions having high molecular weights that is, having melt index, I 2 , less than about 2 g/lOmin) are not effective since such compositions inevitably have too much melt strength to be successfully drawn down at high line speeds.
- Linear PE in the form of ULDPE (Ultra Low Density Polyethylene) extrusion compositions offer improved abuse resistance and toughness properties and MDPE (medium density polyethylene) and HDPE (high density polyethylene) extrusion compositions offer improved barrier resistance (against, for example, moisture and grease permeation), these linear ethylene polymers exhibit unacceptably high neck-in and draw instability; they also exhibit relatively poor extrusion processability, as measured by motor load and back pressure in the extruder, compared to pure LDPE.
- compositions to provide low neck-in, high draw-down and increased upper and lower density limits In coating of woven (scrim) and non- woven substrates, it is frequently necessary for the coating resin to flow around the fibers to create adhesion, as the polyethylene may not adhere to the substrate by surface attractive forces.
- a typical substrate is polypropylene.
- high melt index LDPE is often used as it has the ability to flow around the fibers.
- LDPE resins often exhibit web instabilities. Therefore there is a need for polyethylene compositions capable of successfully adhering to woven substrates while at the same time exhibiting little or no draw instabilities and low neck-in at commercial production rates.
- seal initiation temperature be low, together with a high hot-tack or heat-seal strength.
- Pure LDPE resins have been used for these applications, typically of melt index in the range from 7 to 15.
- the recent introduction of metallocene catalyzed Linear PE has offered lowered seal initiation temperature and stronger seal strengths.
- Such Linear PE resins are generally blended with an LDPE resin to provide reasonably satisfactory processability parameters such as improved neck-in, reduced draw instability and power consumption, compared to the pure Linear PE.
- these compositions do provide improved seal performance compared to pure LDPE, their processability is substantially inferior, (see R. W. Halle, D.M.
- the LDPE is characterized by having a MWD greater than 10, and a Mw(absolute)/Mw(GPC) ratio greater than 3.0. It is generally believed that neck-in and melt strength are inversely related. Thus, in references such as U.S. Patents 5,582,923 and 5,777,155 to Kale et al. (each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety), adding Linear PE to improve physical toughness came at the expense of extrudability factors such as increased neck-in. Thus in the extrusion coating industry, current practice is to utilize lower melt index LDPE for extrusion on equipment with narrower die widths and relatively low maximum take off rates.
- Such low melt index autoclave LDPE resins provide low neck-in (less than 2 inches (1 inch for each side)) and sufficient draw-down speed.
- Faster equipment typically with wider die widths and improved internal deckling, is supplied with higher melt index autoclave LDPE, which unfortunately, tends to yield greater neck-in.
- several grades of LDPE are currently required, necessitating complex product handling capability at both resin manufacturer and at the extrusion coating facility, with additional requirements for inventory storage. It would therefore be advantageous to provide a single grade of resin which simultaneously yielded high draw-down and low neck-in.
- Such a new family of compositions has now been discovered which breaks the traditional relationship between neck-in and melt strength, meaning that the neck-in can be controlled independently of the melt strength of the polymer.
- the melt strength is low, below 5 cN and in many useful instances of the invention the melt strength is too low to measure at the standard.temperature of 190 Celsius.
- the melt index of the Linear PE may vary in the range from 20 to lOOg/lOmin, with the resulting melt strength varying in the range 5 to below 1 cN, while the melt index of the resulting blend is changed substantially.
- the melt index may be varied over wide ranges without substantially affecting the neck-in performance and thus it is possible to provide compositions exhibiting low neck-in, high draw-down and lower power consumption than normally associated with Linear PE based extrusion coating resins.
- this neck-in is less than approximately two inches (1" per side) at a haul-off rate of approximately 440 feet/minute.
- the practical range of melt index is from 3 to 30g/10min in most coating applications, and the compositions of the present invention can cover this entire range, however the preferred range is from 10 to 30g/10minto maintain draw-down above 1200 ft/min.
- the maximum operating speed of the extrusion coating equipment not be limited by the properties of the resin being used. Thus it is desirable to use resin which exhibits neither draw instability nor breaking before the maximum line speed is reached. It is even more desirable that such resin exhibit very low neck-in, less than 2 inches.
- the resins provided in this invention exhibit low neck-in and excellent draw stability while the draw-down capability required is obtained by selecting the correct melt index.
- the melt index is in the range of 10 to 20g/10min. It is a further feature of this invention that it provides a resin at, for example, a melt index of 15g/10min that will be suitable for extrusion on both older equipment having slow takeoff and modern high speed equipment. In both situations the neck-in can be less than 2 inches.
- the resin compositions of the present invention can be characterized by their rheological properties. It is believed that the rheology of composition of the present invention is one of the requirements necessary to achieve the independence of the neck- in versus melt index observed with the compositions.
- compositions can be characterized as having a rheology such that the estimated slope (or S) (by linear least squares regression) of a natural log (loss modulus (or G")) versus natural log (storage modulus (or G')) is greater than [0.635*(melt index)+13.2]/[(melt index)+16.6], wherein the melt index is the melt index of the composition measured in accordance with ASTM D1238, condition 190°C/2.16kg. It has been discovered that the desired rheology is obtained from resins containing relatively small amounts of molecules having high molecular weight and which are highly branched.
- Resins with this structural component exhibit the surprising combination of low neck-in and, at melt indices above lOg/lOmin, high draw down. Accordingly, the resins of the present invention can also be distinguished according to their structural architecture as determined by gel permeation chromatography.
- the resins of the current invention are those in which the percentage fraction of a GPC chromatogram which has a molecular weight above 85,000 as determined by gel permeation chromatography with a differential refractometer detector, is less than 23% of the total area of the GPC chromatogram, and yet more than 7% of the total light scattering area from a low angle laser light scattering detector occurs above a conventional GPC molecular weight of 1,750,000 g/mol..
- the branching of the high molecular weight portion of the composition is preferably tree-like as opposed to comb-like as expressed in the Mark-Houwink plot (such as described by Wood- Adams, Dealy, deGroot and Redwine, "Effect of Molecular Structure on the Linear Viscoelastic Behavior of Polyethylene", 33 Macromolecules 2000, 7489), where the slope is less than 0.25 in the absolute molecular weight range between 300,000 and 3,000,000.
- the resin compositions may advantageously comprise a blend of materials such as an Linear PE material together with an LDPE having a high molecular weight, highly branched component.
- compositions may also include other polymeric materials such as polypropylene, ethylene-styrene copolymers, high pressure ethylene copolymers such as ethylvinylacetate (EVA) and ethylene acrylic acid, and the like.
- Linear PE in the preferred blends for use in making the compositions of the present invention can be any Linear PE known in the art, and can be varied depending on the physical properties desired, as is generally known in the art.
- the preferred LDPE for use in making the compositions of the present invention has a Melt Index (12) as measured in accordance with ASTM D1238, condition 190°C/2.16kg of from 2 to 0.2 g/10 min, a melt strength of from 25 to 50 cN or greater respectively, an Mw/Mn as measured by conventional GPC greater than 10 and a Mw(absolute)/Mw(GPC) ratio of greater than 3.0.
- Such an LDPE is preferably made in an autoclave reactor with chilled ethylene feed below 35°C operating in single phase mode with three or more zones. The reactor is preferably run above the transition point (phase boundary between a two -phase and a single phase system) at an average reactor temperature of approximately 240°C.

- Haul-Off is defined herein to mean the speed at which the substrate is moving, thus stretching or elongating a molten polymer extrudate.
- Melt strength which is also referred to in the relevant art as “melt tension” is defined and quantified herein to mean the force (as applied by a wind-up drum equipped with a strain cell) required to draw a molten extrudate at a haul-off velocity at which the melt strength plateaus prior to breakage rate above its melting point as it passes through the die of a standard plastometer such as the one described in ASTM D 1238-E.
- “Drawdown” means the haul-off speed (using the same equipment, extrusion rate and temperature) at which the molten polymer breaks from the die or the speed at which edge instability was noted.
- polymer refers to a polymeric compound prepared by polymerizing monomers, whether of the same or a different type.
- the generic term polymer thus embraces the term “homopolymer”, usually employed to refer to polymers prepared from only one type of monomer as well as “copolymer” which refers to polymers prepared from two or more different monomers.
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- high pressure ethylene polymer or “highly branched polyethylene” and is defined to mean that the polymer is partly or entirely homopolymerized or copolymeri ⁇ ed in autoclave or tubular reactors at pressures above 14,500 psi (100 MPa) with the use of free-radical initiators, such as peroxides (see for example US 4,599,392, herein incorporated by reference).
- Linear PE is defined to mean any linear, substantially linear or heterogeneous polyethylene copolymer or homopolymer. The Linear PE can be made by any process such as gas phase, solution phase, or slurry or combinations thereof.
- the Linear PE may consists one or more components, each of which is also a Linear PE.
- the term molecular weight distribution or "MWD" is defined as the ratio of weight average molecular weight to number average molecular weight (M w /M n ). M w and M n are determined according to methods known in the art using conventional GPC.
- the ratio Mw(absolute)/Mw(GPC) is defined wherein Mw(absolute) is the weight average molecular weight derived from the light scattering area at low angle (such as 15 degrees) and injected mass of polymer and the Mw(GPC) is the weight average molecular weight obtained from GPC calibration.
- the light scattering detector is calibrated to yield the equivalent weight average molecular weight as the GPC instrument for a linear polyethylene homopolymer standard such as NBS 1475.
- composition of matter of the present invention can be characterized according to its rheological properties and its molecular architecture as determined by multiple detector GPC. It is believed that the rheology of the composition of the present invention leads to the independence of the neck-in versus melt index of the composition.
- the rheology of the compositions can be demonstrated according to the following method which uses dynamic shear rheology to independently measure the elastic and viscous responses of a polymer sample. The measurement should be performed at a temperature of 190° C and a range of frequencies from 0.1 to 100 1/sec using an oscillatory shear rheometer such as a Rheometrics RMS-800. The natural logarithm of these values can then be plotted (In (G") vs.

- the compositions of the present invention When using a properly calibrated GPC, equipped with at least a low angle laser light scattering detector (LS) and a conventional refractive index (RI) detector, the compositions of the present invention will exhibit the following properties: First, the percentage fraction of a GPC chromatogram which has a linear equivalent polyethylene molecular weight above 85,000 as determined by gel permeation chromatography with a differential refractometer detector, is less than 23% of the total area of the GPC chromatogram, and yet more than 7% of the total light scattering area from a low angle laser light scattering detector occurs above a conventional GPC molecular weight of 1,750,000 g/mol.
- LS low angle laser light scattering detector
- RI refractive index
- the material will have a percentage fraction of a GPC chromatogram which has a molecular weight above 85,000 as determined by gel permeation chromatography with a differential refractometer detector, less than 21%, more preferably less than 20 % and most preferably less than 15% of the total area of the GPC chromatogram.
- the material will also have more than 9% of the total light scattering area from a low angle laser light scattering detector occurring above a conventional GPC molecular weight of 1,750,000 g/mol.
- the compositions of the present invention can have any melt strength, and surprisingly in view of the low neck-in observed with these resins, melt strength less than 9cN and more preferably less than 5 cN are particularly advantageous.
- the physical properties of the compositions of the present invention when coated on a substrate can be tailored according to the particular needs.
- the particular Linear PE (or combinations of Linear PE with other material including other Linear PE) portion can be selected to optimize whatever characteristics are desired. For example tensile properties and abuse resistance will typically exceed those of conventional LDPE.

- the LDPE portion of the preferred blends for the present invention can supply high molecular weight, highly branched structure which leads to the unique combination of rheology and molecular architecture. It should be understood, however that the high molecular weight highly branched portion need not come from a high pressure low density resin, and other processes such as those described in WO 02/074816, may be applicable.
- the preferred LDPE for use in the present invention has a Melt Index (I 2 ) of from 0.2 to 2g/10 min. More preferably the melt index is greater than 0.25, most preferably more than 0.3g/10min.

- Extrusion cast film made from or with the inventive composition can also potentially be used in food packaging and industrial stretch wrap applications.
- the chromatographic system consisted of a Waters (Millford, MA) 150C high temperature chromatograph equipped with a Precision Detectors (Amherst, MA) 2-angle laser light scattering detector Model 2040. The 15-degree angle of the light scattering detector was used for the calculation of molecular weights.
- Data collection was performed using Viscotek (Houston, TX) TriSEC software version 3 and a 4-channel Viscotek Data Manager DM400.
- the system was equipped with an on-line solvent degas device from Polymer Laboratories (Shropshire, UK). The carousel compartment was operated at 140°C and the column compartment was operated at 150°C.
- the columns used were 7 Polymer Laboratories 20-micron Mixed-A LS columns.
- the solvent used was 1,2,4 trichlorobenzene.
- the samples were prepared at a concentration of 0.1 grams of polymer in 50 milliliters of solvent.
- the chromatographic solvent and the sample preparation solvent contained 200 ppm of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Both solvent sources were nitrogen sparged. Polyethylene samples were stirred gently at 160 degrees Celsius for 4 hours.
- the injection volume used was 200 microliters and the flow rate was 1.0 milliliters/minute.
- Calibration of the GPC column set was performed with 18 narrow molecular weight distribution polystyrene standards with molecular weights ranging from 580 to 8,400,000 and were arranged in 5 "cocktail" mixtures with at least a decade of separation between individual molecular weights.
- the standards were purchased from Polymer Laboratories (Shropshire, UK).
- the polystyrene standards were prepared at 0.025 grams in 50 milliliters of solvent for molecular weights equal to or greater than 1,000,000, and 0.05 grams in 50 milliliters of solvent for molecular weights less than 1,000,000.
- the polystyrene standards were dissolved at 80 degrees Celsius with gentle agitation for 30 minutes.
- the narrow standards mixtures were run first and in order of decreasing highest molecular weight component to minimize degradation.
- polystyrene standard peak molecular weights were converted to polyethylene molecular weights using the following equation (as described in Williams and Ward, J. Polym. Sci., Polym. Let, 6, 621 (1968)).: ⁇ -polyethylene — A X ( Vlpolystyrene)
- M is the molecular weight
- A has a value of 0.41 and B is equal to 1.0.
- a fourth order polynomial was used to fit the respective polyethylene-equivalent calibration points.
- RV is the retention volume in milliliters and the peak width is in milliliters.
- the overall injected concentration used for the determination of the molecular weight was obtained from the sample refractive index area and the refractive index detector calibration from a linear polyethylene homopolymer of 115,000 molecular weight.
- the chromatographic concentrations were assumed low enough to eliminate addressing 2 nd Virial coefficient effects (concentration effects on molecular weight).
- a late eluting narrow peak is generally used as a
- a flow rate marker was therefore established based on the air peak mismatch between the degassed chromatographic system solvent and the elution sample on one of the polystyrene cocktail mixtures. This flow rate marker was used to linearly correct the flow rate for all samples by alignment of the air peaks. Any changes in the time of the marker peak are then assumed to be related to a linear shift in both flow rate and chromatographic slope.
- RV retention volume
- a least-squares fitting routine is used to fit the peak of the flow marker concentration chromatogram to a quadratic equation. The first derivative of the quadratic equation is then used to solve for the true peak position.
- the effective flow rate (as a measurement of the calibration slope) is calculated as Equation 1.
- an antioxidant mismatch peak or an air peak can be used as an effective flow marker.
- the preferred column set is of 20 micron particle size and "mixed" porosity to adequately separate the highest molecular weight fractions appropriate to the claims.
- the verification of adequate column separation and appropriate shear rate can be made by viewing the low angle (less than 20 degrees) of the on-line light scattering detector on an NBS 1476 high pressure low density polyethylene standard.
- the appropriate light scattering chromatogram should appear bimodal (very high MW peak and moderate molecular weight peak) with approximately equivalent peak heights as shown in Figure 3. There should be adequate separation by demonstrating a trough height between the two peaks less than half of the total LS peak height.
- the plate count for the chromatographic system (based on eicosane as discussed previously) should be greater than 32,000 and symmetry should be between 1.00 and 1.12.
- CDF RI linearly flow correct the chromatogram based on the relative retention volume ratio of the air peak between the sample and that of a consistent narrow standards cocktail mixture.
- a plot of CDF versus molecular weight is obtained by calculating the CDF at each integrated data slice from step (5) and plotting it versus the log of the polyethylene equivalent molecular weight at each integrated data slice from step (4).
- an analysis was done on the following blends: a blend comprising 90% Resin F and 10% Resin C; a blend comprising 50% Resin F and 50% Resin C; and a blend comprising 80% Resin G and 20% Resin N. The plots for these materials are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
- Table 3 also presents the melt strength of the overall blend, the melt index of the overall blend, the neck-in observed when running at 440 ft/minute at an extrusion rate of approximately 250 lbs/hr (and where available at 880 ft/min), the drawdown (a "+" indicates that the drawdown limit was not reached), the slope S determined in accordance with the rheological methods described above for the unextruded resin, and the CDF RI (expressed as the fraction above 85,000 MW) and CDF LS (expressed as the fraction above 1,750,000 MW) from the GPC.
- the table also reports some determinations of S made on a film layer after extrusion.
- the extruded resin may be separated from a coated substrate or more conveniently may be extruded directly onto a suitable metal sheet. This latter method can preferably be done at full extrusion rate (for example 250 lbs/hr) prior to positioning the die over the substrate intended for the coating operation.
- full extrusion rate for example 250 lbs/hr
- comparative Example 17 shows that an autoclave LDPE resin which was designed for extrusion coating and which has a similar melt index to that of the preferred inventive compositions does not provide the comparably low neck-in values.
- Comparative Example 18 shows that blends of metallocene gas phase resins having a lower melt index than the preferred Linear PE with LDPE with a melt index of 8, exliibit significantly higher neck-in (and it was also reported that this blend required a higher motor load).
- polymers were coated onto 1 mil Kraft paper at 615°F (324°C), cut into 1 inch wide strips and the hot tack strength was measured using a Hot Tack tester from J&B Instruments. The samples were subjected to a pressure of 0.275 N/mm 2 for a seal time of 0.5 seconds, then allowed to cool for 0.1 seconds. The peel speed was set at 200 mm/sec. The resulting data is presented in the Figure 7 below. The data show the superiority of this aspect of the present invention, particularly when compared to conventional LDPE extrusion coating resins, as the inventive composition has much higher hot-tack strength over the broad range of temperatures.
