The present disclosure relates to a heterophasic polypropylene compositions comprising 78-85% by weight of a propylene homopolymer or copolymer matrix with up to 2.0% by weight of ethylene units, 15-22% by weight of an elastomeric ethylene-propylene copolymer and a clarifying agent. The composition has an intrinsic viscosity of the xylene soluble fraction at room temperature of from 0.5 to 1.5 dl/g and a melt flow rate (230° C., 2.16 kg) of 0.5 to 10 g/10 min. The compositions of the present disclosure can be used to prepare sheets for thermoforming applications.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a propylene resin composition having high processability to stably produce films, and a sealant film for retort pouch-packaging films prepared with the propylene resin composition and having high seal strength. The object is achieved by a propylene resin composition, comprising: a propylene homopolymer, and a propylene-ethylene copolymer dispersed in the propylene homopolymer, the propylene resin composition being prepared through polymerization of propylene and ethylene in the presence of a catalyst comprising: (A) a solid catalyst containing, as essential components, magnesium, titanium, halogen, and an electron donor selected from succinate type compounds, (B) an organoaluminum compound; and (C) an external electron donor selected from silicon compounds, wherein the propylene resin composition contains 25 to 35 wt% ethylene-propylene copolymer, the copolymer contains 60 wt% or more propylene, the propylene resin composition contains a xylene-soluble content having an intrinsic viscosity [η] of 1.8 to 3.2 dl/g, and the propylene resin composition has a melt flow rate of 2.0 to 5.0 g/10 min.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a heterophasic polypropylene composition comprising 68-76% by weight of a propylene homopolymer or copolymer matrix, 24-32% by weight of an ethylene-propylene copolymer, and a nucleating agent. In some embodiments, the composition has an intrinsic viscosity of the xylene soluble (XSIV) fraction at room temperature of up to 1.3 dl/g and a melt flow rate (230° C., 2.16 kg) of 30 to 70 g/10 min. The compositions disclosed herein can be used in molded articles, using techniques such as thin wall injection molding, that are endowed with excellent impact behavior.

Abstract:
A masterbatch composition comprising (1) 10-50 wt% of a crystalline propylene homopolymer and (2) 50-90 wt% of a blend consisting of (a) a copolymer of ethylene and one or more C4-CIO a-olefin(s), containing 10-40 of C4-CIO a-olefin(s), and (b) an amorphous copolymer of propylene and ethylene. Copolymer (b) has an ethylene content from 20-70 wt%, and an intrinsic viscosity value of the xylene-soluble moiety of from 2.2 to 3.5 dL/g, this value being equal to 0.8 to 1.2 times the intrinsic viscosity value of the xylene-soluble moiety of copolymer (a). The weight ratio of copolymers (a)/(b) is from 3/1 to 1/3. Polyolefin compositions comprising the said masterbatch composition are suitable for the manufacture of automotive parts.
