摘要:
A process is provided for extruding a bimodal polyethylene resin. The process includes providing a polyethylene homopolymer or copolymer resin having a bimodal molecular weight distribution; conveying the resin through an extruder having a feed zone in which the resin is not melted, a melt-mixing zone in which at least a portion of the resin is melted, and a melt zone in which the resin is in a molten state, each zone being partially filled with the resin; and contacting the molten resin in the melt zone with a gas mixture of 8 to 40% by volume O2. The resin can be further pelletized. The oxygen-tailored resin can be used to make polyethylene films having improved bubble stability.
摘要:
A process of forming a bimetallic catalyst composition comprising a cocatalyst (a trialkylaluminum compound) and a catalyst precursor. The precursor comprises at least two transition metals; a metallocene complex is a source of one of said two transition metals. The precursor is produced in a single-pot process by contacting a porous carrier, in sequence, with a dialkylmagnesium compound, an aliphatic alcohol, a non-metallocene transition metal compound, a contact product of a metallocene complex and a trialkylaluminum compound, and methylalumoxane.

摘要:
A class of relatively high molecular weight, high density ethylene polymers (HMW-HDPE) is disclosed capable of being formed into thin films of high strength, such polymers having a density of at least about 0.925 g/cc, a flow index (I21) no higher than about 15 g/10 min., a melt flow ratio (MFR) of at least about 65, and a dynamic elasticity at 0.1 rad./sec. of no higher than about 0.7 at a corresponding complex viscosity at 0.1 rad./sec. no higher than about 14×105 poises. The ethylene polymer is a bimodal of relatively high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight (LMW) ethylene polymers.
摘要:
A bimetallic catalyst produces broad or bimodal molecular weight distribution polyolefin resin whose composition depends on the ratio of the concentration of the two metals of the catalyst producing the HMW and LMW components. The bimetallic catalyst produces a broad/bimodal MWD resin whose HMW and LMW components depend on the relative productivity of each of the transition metal sites of the catalyst. Water and/or carbon dioxide are cofed to the polymerization reactor at levels necessary to modify the weight fractions of the HMW and LMW components, thus achieving a target molecular weight distribution, MWD. The invention allows the resin MWD to be adjusted in the reactor. The weight fraction of the high molecular weight component decreases with the addition of the water and or the carbon dioxide and the FI of the overall product increases with a decrease in the HMW component weight fraction in the product.
摘要:
A make-up catalyst of at least one metallic component of a bimetallic catalyst component is used in conjunction with a bimetallic catalyst to control the proportion of weight fractions in broad or bimodal molecular weight distribution olefin resin product. The bimetallic catalyst which is formed with at least one metallocene of a transition metal, produces broad or bimodal molecular weight distribution polyolefin resin whose composition depends on the ratio of the concentration of the two catalyst components producing the HMW/LMW components. The make-up catalyst consisting of a single metal component is added in proportion necessary to make-up the deficiencies in the amount of the HMW/LMW component. The type of make-up catalyst added depends on whether increase of the HMW or LMW component produced by the bimetallic catalyst is sought.
摘要:
Resins which are in situ catalytically produced blends of broad bimodal molecular weight distribution ethylene resin are produced. The resins of the invention are characterized by a blend of low molecular weight component and high molecular weight component with HMW component weight fraction which is greater than 0 (zero). Generally, the LMW/HMW weight fraction can be controlled within a very broad range. The resin has a molecular weight distribution, which is characterized as MFR or Mw/Mn. The bimodal molecular weight resins can be processed into films on existing equipment, and exhibit good processability in blown film production and provide film product of excellent FQR. The resin of the invention exhibits reduced tendency towards die-lip buildup and smoking in on-line operations.
