Description
Zur Herstellung von dünnwandigen Körpern, wie z. B. Folien oder Flaschen aus Polyolefinen, werden niedermolekulare Polyolefine benötigt, die sich nur unter sehr großen Schwierigkeiten gewinnen lassen, da die Polymerisate häufig sogenannte Stippen oder Verschmutzungen aufweisen. Man hat daher wie der holt versucht, die leichter herzustellenden höhermolekularen Polyolefine zu niedermolekularen Typen gesteuert abzubauen. For the production of thin-walled bodies, such as. B. foils or bottles from polyolefins, low molecular weight polyolefins are required, which are only available under can win very great difficulties, since the polymers are often so-called Have specks or soiling. So they tried to pick them up Easier to manufacture higher molecular weight polyolefins to lower molecular weight types to reduce in a controlled manner.
So hat man bereits Lösungen von Polypropylen in einem inerten Kohlenwasserstoff unter Zugabe von Dampf und Luft bzw. sauerstoffabgebenden Verbindungen bei Temperaturen von 70 bis 2400 C behan--delt. Diese Verfahren liefern zwar gleichmäßig abgebaute Produkte, die jedoch zum Teil vernetzt sind und sauerstoffhaltige Gruppen aufweisen. Solutions of polypropylene in an inert hydrocarbon are already available with the addition of steam and air or oxygen-releasing compounds at temperatures treated from 70 to 2400 C. These processes deliver evenly degraded Products that are, however, partly cross-linked and have oxygen-containing groups.
Es wurde gefunden, daß man das Molekulargewicht von Polyolefinen in vorteilhafter Weise durch Erhitzen von Polyolefinlösungen oder -suspensionen, in denen das Polyolefin und das Lösungsmittel bzw. It has been found that the molecular weight of polyolefins advantageously by heating polyolefin solutions or suspensions, in which the polyolefin and the solvent or
Suspensionsmittel in einem Gewichtsverhältnis von 1 : 4 bis 1 : 20 vorliegen, auf 50 bis 3000 C in Gegenwart von radikalbildenden Stoffen erniedrigen kann, wenn man das Erhitzen in Gegenwart von 0,01 bis 10 Gewichtsprozent, bezogen auf das Lösungs- bzw. Suspensionsmittel, Azo-di-carbonamid durchführt. Suspending agents in a weight ratio of 1: 4 to 1:20 present, lower to 50 to 3000 C in the presence of radical-forming substances can if the heating is in the presence of 0.01 to 10 percent by weight, based on the solvent or suspending agent, azo-di-carbonamide.
Nach diesem Verfahren lassen sich aus Polyolefinen, wie z. B. Polyäthylen, Polypropylen, Polybutylen und deren Mischpolymerisaten mit reduzierten Viskositäten zwischen 1 und 20, vorzugsweise zwischen 2 und 8, Produkte mit reduzierten Viskositäten zwischen 0,3 und 6, vorzugsweise zwischen 1,0 und 3,0, gesteuert und reproduzierbar herstellen. Als Lösungsmittel für die abzubauenden Polyolefine sind Kohlenwasserstoffe, wie Hexan, Heptan, Tetrapropylen, sowie Tetrapropylenbenzol geeignet. Neben diesen Lösungsmitteln können als Suspensionsmittel Verbindungen, wie Alkohole, Ketone, Ester, z. B. According to this process, polyolefins, such as. B. polyethylene, Polypropylene, polybutylene and their copolymers with reduced viscosities between 1 and 20, preferably between 2 and 8, products with reduced viscosities between 0.3 and 6, preferably between 1.0 and 3.0, controlled and reproducible produce. The solvents used for the polyolefins to be degraded are hydrocarbons, such as hexane, heptane, tetrapropylene and tetrapropylene benzene are suitable. Besides these Solvents, compounds such as alcohols, ketones, Esters, e.g. B.
Methanol, Propanol, Butanol, Aceton, Acetophenon, Äthylacetat, und Wasser verwendet werden. Die Lösungs- bzw. Suspensionsinittel werden in der 4- bis 20fachen Menge, bezogen auf das abzubauende Polyolefin, eingesetzt.Methanol, propanol, butanol, acetone, acetophenone, ethyl acetate, and Water can be used. The solvents or suspending agents are in the 4- to 20 times the amount, based on the polyolefin to be degraded, used.
Diese Verbindung wird in Mengen von 0,01 bis 10 Gewichtsprozent, vorzugsweise 0,1 bis 1 Gewichtsprozent, bezogen auf die Menge des Lösungs- bzw. This compound is used in amounts of 0.01 to 10 percent by weight, preferably 0.1 to 1 percent by weight, based on the amount of solution or
Suspensionsmittels, verwendet. Je nach der Art des abzubauenden Polyolefins bzw. dessen Molekulargewicht werden zum Abbau Temperaturen zwischen 50 und 3000 C, vorzugsweise zwischen 90 und 2000 C, gewählt. Suspending agent, is used. Depending on the type of polyolefin to be degraded or its molecular weight, temperatures between 50 and 3000 for degradation C, preferably between 90 and 2000 C selected.
Das Verfahren läßt-sich im- allgemeinen so durchführen, daß die abzubauenden Polyolefine in Lösung oder in Suspension mit dem Azo-di-carbonamid bei Temperaturen um oder über der Zerfalltemperatur der radikalbildenden Verbindung innig vermischt werden. Des weiteren ist es möglich, den thermischen Abbau von Polyolefinen in einer Stufe mit der Ausfällung des Kontaktes unmittelbar nach der Herstellung der Polyolefine bei Temperaturen zwischen 50 und 2500 C, vorzugsweise bei 90 bis 2000 C, oder aber im Anschluß an die Zersetzung des Kontaktes durchzuführen. Der letztgenannte Weg ist dann vorzuziehen, wenn die Polyolefine nicht in Lösung, sondern in Suspension abgebaut werden sollen. The process can generally be carried out in such a way that the Polyolefins in solution or in suspension with the azo-di-carbonamide at temperatures around or above the decay temperature the radical-forming compound intimately mixed will. It is also possible to reduce the thermal degradation of polyolefins in one Step with the precipitation of the contact immediately after the production of the polyolefins at temperatures between 50 and 2500 C, preferably at 90 to 2000 C, or else to be carried out following the decomposition of the contact. The latter way is preferable when the polyolefins are not in solution but in suspension should be dismantled.
Das vorliegende Verfahren gestattet die Herstellung von niedermolekularen Polyolefinen mit reduzierten Viskositäten zwischen 0,3 und 6, die dank des verwendeten Aktivators frei von sauerstoffhaltigen Gruppen bzw. frei von eventuell eingeschlossenem Sauerstoff und nicht vernetzt sind. The present process allows the production of low molecular weight Polyolefins with reduced viscosities between 0.3 and 6 thanks to the used Activator free of oxygen-containing groups or free of any included Oxygen and not cross-linked.
Beispiel Eine Lösung von 10 Gewichtsteilen Polypropylen mit einer reduzierten Viskosität von 6,2 in 100 Gewichtsteilen Tetrapropylenbenzol, hergestellt mit einem Mischkatalysator aus 0,06 Gewichtsteilen Titantrichlorid und 0,12 Gewichtsteilen Diäthylaluminiummonochlorid, wird mit Azo-di-carbonamid unter den in der nachfolgenden Tabelle angegebenen Bedingungen behandelt. Example A solution of 10 parts by weight of polypropylene with a reduced viscosity of 6.2 in 100 parts by weight of tetrapropylene benzene with a mixed catalyst of 0.06 part by weight of titanium trichloride and 0.12 part by weight Diethylaluminum monochloride, is used with azo-di-carbonamide among those in the following Treated conditions specified in the table.
