Definitions
- the present invention relates to ethylene homo and copolymers, and more in particular to LDPE-type (low density polyethylene) resins.
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- the operation of and type(s) of reactor(s) employed can dramatically affect the physical properties of the resulting LDPE.
- Such improvements are desired for applications such as blown and cast film, where especially good optical properties (for example, low gels, especially microgels) are desired.

- polymers can, for instance, be prepared in high pressure radical initiated polymerization processes, wherein a wide variety of different chain transfer agents and / or comonomers may be used.
- Typical chain transfer agents that can be used include, but not limited to propylene, isobutane, n-butane, 1-butene, methyl ethyl ketone, propionldehyde, isopar, and isopropanol.
- Typical comonomers that can be used include, but not limited to propylene, 1-butene, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, vinyl acetate, silane, styrene, ethyl acrylate, and carbon monoxide.
- Chain transfer agents or telogens are used to control the melt index in a polymerization process. Chain transfer involves the termination of growing polymer chains, thus limiting the ultimate molecular weight of the polymer material. Chain transfer agents are typically hydrogen atom donors that will react with a growing polymer chain and stop the polymerization reaction of said chain. These agents can be of many different types, from saturated hydrocarbons or unsaturated hydrocarbons to aldehydes, ketones or alcohols.
- the melt index (MI or I 2 ) of a polymer which is related to molecular weight, is controlled by controlling the concentration of the chain transfer agent.
- the chain transfer agent forms a radical which can react with the monomers, or with already formed oligomers or polymers, to start a new polymer chain. This means that any functional groups present in chain transfer agents will be introduced in the polymer chains.
- a large number of chain transfer agents for example propylene and 1- butene which have an olefinically unsaturated bond, can also be incorporated in the polymer chain, themselves, via a copolymerization reaction.
- two types of chain transfer agents are used in order to control both the MI and the density of the polymers prepared.
- the melt index of the product polymer can be controlled by varying the amount of chain transfer agent present during the polymerization, usually by mixing varying amounts of transfer agent with the monomer or the mixture of monomers prior to polymerization.
- Polymers produced in the presence of chain transfer agents are modified in a number of physical properties such as processability, optical properties such as haze and clarity, density, stiffness, yield point, film draw and tear strength.
- the gel counter images, detects and then sizes the gels present in the film.
- the gel counter consists of a light source, line scan camera (CCD detector) and an image processor.
- the gel counter is configured in transmission mode, with the film passing between the light source and the camera.
- An Optical Control Systems (OCS) FS3 camera is used.
- the film is illuminated with the light source.
- the camera measures the intensity of the transmitted light. Gels will refract the light reducing the amount of light reaching the camera.
- a digitized image of the gel is created. Its area is determined by summing the number of picture elements (pixels) it includes.
- the diameter of the gel is assigned by calculating the diameter of a circle with an area equivalent to the measured gel area (equivalent circular diameter). This process is depicted graphically in Figure 1.
- Gel A nodule of any material present in the polymer film.
- the properties of the nodule are such that it does not blend into the film matrix. The present method does not distinguish between polymeric and non-polymeric nodules.
- the camera will detect any passing medium or large gel. However, such gels are rare. Consequently, the observed numbers of gels will show significant statistical fluctuations.
- One analysis cycle inspects 50,000 inches 2 of film.
- the film thickness is 3 mil and the bubble diameter is 6 inches.
- Gel counts are based on blown film. The bubble should be maintained at 6 inches in diameter and 3 mils thick. All gel counts are classified by size and reported per 50,000 in 2 .
- the chromatographic system consists 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 is used for calculation purposes. Data collection is performed using Viscotek TriSEC software version 3 and a 4-channel Viscotek Data Manager DM400. The system is equipped with an on-line solvent degas device from Polymer Laboratories. The carousel compartment was operated at 140 0 C and the column compartment is operated at 150 0 C. The columns used are 4 Shodex HT 806M 30cm 13-micron columns and 1 Shodex HT803 15cm 13-um column.
- the solvent used is 1,2,4 trichlorobenzene.
- the samples are prepared at a concentration of 0.1 grams of polymer in 50 milliliters of solvent.
- the chromatographic solvent and the sample preparation solvent contain 200 ppm of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Both solvent sources are nitrogen sparged. Polyethylene samples are stirred gently at 160 degrees Celsius for 4 hours.
- the injection volume used is 200 microliters and the flow rate is 0.67 milliliters/minute.
- Calibration of the GPC column set is performed with 21 narrow molecular weight distribution polystyrene standards with molecular weights ranging from 580 to 8,400,000, arranged in 6 "cocktail" mixtures with at least a decade of separation between individual molecular weights.
- the standards are purchased from Polymer Laboratories (Shropshire, UK).
- the polystyrene standards are 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 are dissolved at 80 degrees Celsius with gentle agitation for 30 minutes.
- the narrow standards mixtures are run first and in order of decreasing highest molecular weight component to minimize degradation.
- the polystyrene standard peak molecular weights are converted to polyethylene molecular weights using the following equation (as described in Williams and Ward, J. Polym. Sd., Polym. Let., 6,
- Mpolyethylene A x (Mpolystyrene) B Where M is the molecular weight, A has a value of 0.41 and B is equal to 1.0.
- a fourth order polynomial is used to fit the respective polyethylene- equivalent calibration points.
- the total plate count of the GPC column set is performed with Eicosane (prepared at 0.04 g in 50 milliliters of TCB and dissolves for 20 minutes with gentle agitation.)
- the plate count and symmetry are measured on a 200 microliter injection according to the following equations:
- PlateCount 5.54 * (RV at Peak Maximum / (Peak width at Vi height)) 2 Where RV is the retention volume in milliliters and the peak width is in milliliters.
- RV is the retention volume in milliliters and the peak width is in milliliters.
- the Systematic Approach for the determination of multi-detector offsets is done in a manner consistent with that published by Balke, Mourey, et. al. (Mourey and Balke, Chromatography Polym. Chpt 12, (1992)) (Balke, Thitiratsakul, Lew, Cheung, Mourey, Chromatography Polym. Chpt 13, (1992)), optimizing dual detector log results from Dow broad polystyrene 1683 to the narrow standard column calibration results from the narrow standards calibration curve using in-house software.
- the molecular weight data for off-set determination is obtained in a manner consistent with that published by Zimm (Zimm, B.H., J.Chem.
- the overall injected concentration used for the determination of the molecular weight is 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 are assumed low enough to eliminate addressing 2nd Virial coefficient effects (concentration effects on molecular weight).
- a late eluting narrow peak is generally used as a "marker peak”.
- a flow rate marker is 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 is 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.
- 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 primary features of an effective flow rate marker are as follows: the flow marker should be mono-dispersed. The flow marker should elute close to the total column permeation volume. The flow marker should not interfere with the chromatographic integration window of the sample.
- the preferred column set is of 13 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) as shown in Figure 2 below. 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.
- the CDF(LS) fraction of NBS 1476 between 350,000 and 1,150,000 molecular weight is calculated as approximately 0.175. It should be noted that 1 , 150,000 occurs at approximately the LALLS high molecular weight peak position.
- CDF RI cumulative detector fractions
- CDF LS low angle laser light scattering detector
- 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).
- the range over which the "CDF" (cumulative detector fraction) is selected for this particular invention is from molecular weight of 350,000 to 1,150,000.
- the slope of this region is also important for this invention; the slope is determined by a line drawn from where the LS chromatogram intersects with molecular weight 350,000 and molecular weight 1,150,000 and needs to be positive.
- CDF for NBS 1476 is about 0.175 for the molecular weight range of 350,000 to 1,150,000, and NBS 1476 also has a positive slope between these two molecular weight points.
- the melt index (I 2 ) (grams/ 10 minutes) is determined in accordance with ASTM D1238, condition (E) (190°C/2.16 kg). Densities of the polymer products are determined in accordance with ASTM D-792.
- the polymers of the invention preferably have a melt strength (in centiNewtons) greater than or equal to 7.5*(melt index(measured in grams/10 minutes)) " 6 , preferably greater than or equal to 9.5*(melt index) "06 , more preferably greater than or equal to 11.5*(melt index) "06 , and preferentially have a molecular weight distribution of between 2 and 7.
- Melt strength which is also referred to in the relevant art as “melt tension” is defined and quantified herein to mean the stress or 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 D1238-E. Melt strength values, which are reported herein in centi-Newtons (cN), are determined using a Gottfert Rheotens at 190°C.
- ethylene copolymer refers to polymers of ethylene and, optionally, one or more comonomers.
- Suitable comonomers to be used in the ethylene polymers of the present invention and giving the same trends in polymer properties, are, for instance, ethylenically unsaturated monomers and especially C 3 toC 20 alpha-olefins, acetylenic compounds, conjugated or nonconjugated dienes, polyenes, carbon monoxide, (meth)acrylic acid, vinyl acetate, styrene, and C 2 to C 6 alkyl acrylates.
- 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 copolymerized in autoclave or tubular reactors at pressures above 13,000 psig with the use of free-radical initiators, such as peroxides (see for example US 4,599,392, herein incorporated by reference).
- the polymers of the present invention have a weight average molecular weight of between less than 5,000 up to 500,000 and more, and preferably between 10,000 and 250,000.
- the process of the present invention is carried out at a high pressure, which means in the context of the present invention that the reaction pressure is at least 13,000 psig, conveniently between 17,000 psig and 45,000 psig.
- the process of the present invention is a free radical polymerization process.
- the type of free radical initiator to be used in the present process is not critical.
- Free radical initiators that are generally used for such processes are oxygen, which is usable in tubular reactors in conventional amounts of between 0.0001 and 0.005 wt. percent drawn to the weight of polymerizable monomer, and organic peroxides.
- Preferred initiators are t-butyl peroxy pivalate, di-t-butyl peroxide, t-butyl peroxy acetate and t-butyl peroxy- 2-hexanoate or mixtures thereof.
- These organic peroxy initiators are used in conventional amounts of between 0.005 and 0.2 wt. percent drawn to the weight of polymerizable monomers.
- the amount of chain transfer agent used in the process of the present invention generally lies between 0.03 and 10.0 percent by weight of the total reaction mixture, and preferably between 0.5 and 3.5 wt. percent.
- reaction zone For high pressure, free radical initiated polymerization processes, two basic types of reactors are known from the prior art.
- an agitated autoclave vessel having one or more reaction zones is used: the autoclave reactor.
- a jacketed tube is used as a reactor, which tube has one or more reaction zones: the tubular reactor.
- the beginning of a reaction zone is defined by the side injection of either initiator of reaction, ethylene, telomer, comonomer(s) as well as any combination thereof.
- the high pressure process of the present invention giving polyethylene homo or copolymers having the advantageous properties as found in accordance with the invention, can be carried out in an autoclave reactor having at least 1 reaction zone or in a combination of an autoclave and a tubular reactor, each comprising one or more reaction zones.
- the pressure in the autoclave reactor which contains more than one reaction zone, is relatively high as compared with prior art processes using autoclave reactors, and is preferably between 17,000 and 45,000 psig. In the most preferred embodiment, the reactor pressure is at least 24,000 psig, for example 26,500 psig.
- the high pressure values used in the process of the invention have a direct effect on the molecular weight distribution of the polymer and the GPC-LALLS CDF fraction. Generally, the higher the reaction pressure is, the lower, the molecular weight distribution provided the reaction is occurring in single phase conditions.
- a combination of an autoclave comprising at least one reaction zone and a conventional tubular reactor having at least one reaction zone is used. Such a conventional tubular reactor is cooled by an external water jacket and has at least one injection point for initiator and/or monomer and/or chain transfer agent.
- Suitable, but not limiting, reactor lengths can be between 100 and 3000 meters, preferably between 200 and 300 meters.
- the autoclave reactor normally has several injection points for initiator and/or monomer.
- the particular reactor combination used allows conversion rates of about 20 percent or higher, which is significantly higher than the conversion rates obtained for standard autoclave reactors, which allow typical conversion rates of 16 to 18 percent, expressed as ethylene conversion, for the production of polymers in the molecular weight distribution range of 2 to 7.
- This relatively low conversion rate of 16 to 18 percent is ascribed to the fact that autoclave reactors typically must operate at relatively low temperatures and/or high feed temperatures to obtain polymers with these GPC-LALLS CDF fractions at given molecular weight distributions.
- Polymers suitable for these applications can be obtained by controlling the temperature in the two autoclave reaction zones at between 140 and 22O 0 C, while the inlet temperature of the monomer feed streams for both reaction zones is between 0 and 110°C, preferably between 0 and 80°C, more preferably between 0 and 40 0 C; and by controlling a maximum temperature in the tubular reactor at a value of between 160 and 360 0 C, while the initiation temperature in the tube is between 120 and 200 0 C.
- the polymer product obtained in such a process preferably between 3 and 12 wt. percent monomer, based on the total amount of monomer introduced in the reactor, is polymerized in the autoclave reactor and preferably between 10 and 15 wt.
- percent of the monomer is polymerized in the tubular reactor, has a melt index of between 0.15 and 2000, preferably between 0.15 and 20, more preferably between 0.2 and 8 g/10 minutes.
- the conversion rate of the monomer described in the examples are 17 to 24 wt. percent.
