○ Introduction of Low Particle Regularity poly olefin L-MODU™

[What is L-MODU?]

- L-MODU is based on a different area than the traditional polyolefin.

Materials developed on base of IDEMTSU's proprietary catalyst technology.

[Characteristics of L-MODU]

* Control of the Cubic Rules of Homo Poly Propylene

 → It is characterized by low melting point, low crystallinity and high transparency.

[Primary Structure of the L-MODU]

- The structure is controlled by a uniform composition and low particle regularity.

Development of a new low particle regularity zone following Isotactic and Atactic.

[Grade of L-MODU]

[Use Cases of L-MODU]

[Expected Effect of L-MODU]

[Addition Effect to PP : Commercialization]

- DLENDING an L-MODU in the pp indicates higher commerciality than other pp. copolymen

    → It can be expected to manifest the optical properties and improve the numerical properties of the pp.

[Addition effect to PP: crystallization rate]

- The L-MODU is added to the pp to slow the crystallization rate.

Represents an effect. 

    → can expect improvements in metallurgy and plasticity (soft and radioactive)

[Addition effect to PP: Municipal growth]

* Cross-sectional observation of the sheet element by phase difference microscope

- Adding a small amount of L-MODU to pp reduces the Municipal size

Occupancy density of Municipal is lowered. 

    → The reaction force at the time of deformation is lowered so that a very small amount of concentration can be alleviated.

    → It is possible to improve optical characteristics (hage, gloss)

[Evaluation of dispersion and diffusivity of pigment: Outline]

- L-MODU can contribute to improvement of dispersibility and dispersion of pigments by taking advantage of high compatibility with high flowability / PP.

The masterbatch of L-modu was made with biaxial film and evaluated for dispersibility and diffusivity.

- Biaxial extruder: Nippon Steel Mill LABOTEX30

    Screw: Joint type rotation in the same direction

    Cylinqen Diameter: 30 ¢ (L / D: 32)

    Charge amount Rotation speed: 370 ~ 450rpm

    Cylinden set temperature: 50 ~ 110 ℃

- CARBON Black: Mitsubishi Chemical (particle size 24 nm)

    Content concentration: 30 wt%

- ELMODU (TM): S600 (MFR = 350 g / 10 min)

[Evaluation of dispersion and diffusivity of pigment: Evaluation method]

- Injection molding with low pigment concentration, and the presence of pigment stains was confirmed.

[Evaluation of dispersion and diffusivity of pigment: Result]

- L-MODU is excellent in dispersing and diffusing of pigments, and it is possible to use pigment resistance and an abrasive pigment.

[Addition effect to L-MODU : Unleaded]

[Transparency and gloss enhancement effect of CPP]

- L-MODU improves transparency and surface glossiness when added to PP

- Cast film of Film Thickness 50um

basePP: homo(Tm=165℃, MFR=7.0)randomPP(Tm=130℃, MFR=7.0)

[Effect of CPP flexibility improvement]

- The addition of L-MODU to PP produces a softening effect.

At that time, the strengthening of the melting point did not appear.

- Cast film of Film Thickness 50um

basePP: homo(Tm=165℃, MFR=7.0)randomPP(Tm=130℃, MFR=7.0)

[Fusion and higher order structure of PP+L-MODU™]

- L-MODU exhibits high compatibility with PP and does not form a process with crystalline lamella, but exists only in the non-nucleus region of PP.

- Even if a small amount of L-MODU ™ is added to the PP (50% or less), the PP is not changed. This is because PP and L-MODU ™ are not processed and L-MODU ™ is limited to non-stationary. 

[Antistatic Agent BLEED Property of CPP]

- Antistatic agent (containing stearinicin monoglyceride 8%) Amount of addition: 1wt% / bwe Resin: homo (MFR = 7.0)
