Polypropylene-based terpolymers for films

摘要

A terpolymer containing propylene, ethylene and an alpha olefins of formula CH2═CHZ wherein Z is an hydrocarbon group having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms wherein: (i) the content of ethylene derived units ranges from 0.5 wt % to 5.0 wt %; (ii) the content of alpha olefin derived units ranges from 1.0 wt % to 5.0 wt %; (iii) the amount (Wt %) of alpha-olefin (C6), the amount (Wt %) of ethylene (C2) and the melting point (Tm) of the terpolymer fulfil the following relation (1) Tm>−(C2+0.8C6)*6+157 (1) (iv) the polydispersity index (PI) ranges from 3 to 8.

1. A terpolymer comprising:
(i) 1.0 to 3.0 wt %, based upon the total weight of the terpolymer, of ethylene derived; (ii) 2.0 to 4.0 wt %, based upon the total weight of the terpolymer, of 1-hexene derived units; and (iii) 93 to 97 wt %, based upon the total weight of the terpolymer, of propylene derived units, wherein the amount of 1-hexene derived units and the amount of ethylene derived units fulfils the following relationship (1):
Tm>159−(C2+0.8C6)*6  (1) wherein C6 is the amount of 1-hexene derived units in wt %, C2 is the amount of ethylene derived units in wt %, and Tm is the melting point of the terpolymer, wherein the terpolymer has a polydispersity index (PI) ranging from 2.0 to 7.0, and a melt flow rate from 2 to 20 g/10 min, as measured at 230 ° C. and 2.16 kg.
