Abstract
Disclosed are a binary random copolymer of propylene and ethylene, and a film to be formed by sheeting the copolymer. The film has good heat-sealability, high stiffness, good anti-blocking and slipping properties, and high transparency. As having excellent heat-sealability at low-temperature, the copolymer and its film are favorably used as sealant layers of laminate films.
Claims2
A propylenic copolymer (A) of propylene and ethylene, that satisfies the following conditions (1) to (5):
- (1) The ethylene unit content (xa, wt. %) of the copolymer is from 3 to 10 wt. %;
- (2) The relation between the boiling diethyl ether extraction (Ea, wt. %) of the copolymer and xa satisfies the formulae (I) or (II):
- Ea≦0.25xa+1.1(xa=3 to 6 wt. %) (I)
- Ea≦2.6(xa=6 to 10 wt. %);
- (II)
- (3) The relation between the melting point ([Tm]Tma, ° C.) of the copolymer as measured with a differential scanning calorimeter and xa satisfies the formulae (III) or (IV):
- Tma≦140(xa=3 to 4 wt. %) (III)
- Tma≦160−5xa(xa=4 to 10 wt. %);
- (IV)
- (4) The copolymer has a melt index (MI. g/10 min.) of from 4 to 12 g/10 min., measured at a temperature of 230° C. under a load of 2160 g, according to JIS K7210;
- and
- (5) The isotactic triad fraction in the PPP sequence of the copolymer, as measured in 13C-NMR, is not smaller than 98.0 mol %.
