Abstract
A polypropylene (F) for film condensers having the following requirements: (1) an MFR (JIS K 7210, 230° C., 2.16 kg load) in the range of 1-10 (g/10 min), (2) an mmmm fraction that is at least 93%, (3) a <2,1>erythro position defect amount as measured using 13C-NMR that is less than 0.1 mol %, (4) ash content obtained by complete combustion in atmosphere that is at most 50 ppm, (5) chlorine content as measured by ion chromatography that is at most 5 ppm; and (6) is obtained by including a propylene homopolymer for which Mw/Mn as measured via GPC is 6.5-12 and an α-crystal nucleating agent with a melting point of at most 290° C.
Claims8
A polypropylene for a film capacitor, comprising a propylene homopolymer and an α crystal nucleating agent having a melting point of not more than 290° C., wherein the propylene homopolymer satisfies at least that:
- (1) the melt flow rate (MFR) is within a range of 1 to 10 (g/10 min), as determined at 230° C. under a load of 2.16 kg in accordance with JIS K 7210;
- (2) the isotactic pentad fraction (mmmm fraction) is not less than 93%, as determined using 13C-NMR;
- (3) the proportion of <2,1> erythro regio defects is less than 0.1% by mol, as determined using 13C-NMR;
- (4) the ash amount is not more than 50 ppm, as obtained by completely burning the propylene homopolymer in the air;
- (5) the chlorine amount is not more than 5 ppm, as determined by ion chromatography;
- and
- (6) the molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn is 6.5 to 12, as measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
A process for producing a polypropylene for a film capacitor, comprising melt-kneading at least a propylene homopolymer satisfying the following requirements (1) to (6) and an α crystal nucleating agent having a melting point of not more than 290° C.,
- (1) the melt flow rate (MFR) is within a range of 1 to 10 (g/10 min), as determined at 230° C. under a load of 2.16 kg in accordance with JIS K 7210;
- (2) the isotactic pentad fraction (mmmm fraction) is not less than 93%, as determined using 13C-NMR;
- (3) the proportion of <2,1> erythro regio defects is less than 0.1% by mol, as determined using 13C-NMR;
- (4) the ash amount is not more than 50 ppm, as obtained by completely burning the propylene homopolymer in the air;
- (5) the chlorine amount is not more than 5 ppm, as determined by ion chromatography;
- and
- (6) the molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn is 6.5 to 12, as measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
