TABLE 2 analysis of Properties after casting the resins of examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 6 into films
The melt flow rate was measured in the first part of GB/T3682.1-2018 thermoplastic melt Mass Flow Rate (MFR) under test conditions including a test temperature of 230℃and a weight mass of 2.16kg. The melting point is obtained by a differential scanning method. The test method of the butene content and the ethylene content is a high-temperature 13CNMR test, the solvent is dichloro deuterated benzene, the temperature is 120 ℃, and the magnetic field frequency is 400MHz. The test method of the number of crystal points (fish eyes) and the number of white points is referred to GB/T-6595.
The initial heat seal temperature was measured using the method of GB/T27740-2011 cast polypropylene (CPP) film. The haze and clarity were measured according to GB/T2410, the thickness of the sample was 30um, the specific test method was to measure the scattered luminous flux transmitted through the sample and deviating from the incident light direction by more than 2.5 °, denoted lma, the transmitted luminous flux was denoted lmb, the haze= lma/lmb ×100%, all test items were parallel samples, and the average was determined for 5 groups.
As can be seen from Table 1, the ternary random copolymer polypropylene resin of the present invention has the characteristics of low crystallization point, low white point, low melting point, low initial heat sealing temperature and high transparency.
Examples 6 and 7 illustrate that if the preparation method of the composite auxiliary agent is changed, the ternary polymerization polypropylene powder base material is not added into the composite auxiliary agent, and the composite auxiliary agent is prepared by adopting a one-step physical blending or single screw extrusion granulation method, although the haze, definition and heat sealing temperature are not changed significantly, the number of crystal points and white points is increased.
As can be seen from comparative examples 1 and 1, the use of SiO2, which is an anti-sticking agent having an unsuitable particle size and porosity, significantly increases the number of crystal spots and white spots of the ternary random copolymer polypropylene resin, and deteriorates the optical properties. Comparative example 2 shows that low ethylene and butene content can raise the melting point and heat sealing temperature obviously. Comparative example 3 shows that when the polymer melt index is low, the number of crystal spots increases, the number of white spots does not change much, and the haze increases and the optical properties deteriorate. Comparative example 4 shows that the addition ratio and the addition amount of the compound additive are changed, which results in an increase in the number of crystal spots and white spots, an increase in the heat sealing temperature, an increase in haze, and deterioration in optical properties.
