  • Patent number: 8349957
    Abstract: The present invention provides a polyolefin resin composition which is excellent in mechanical properties and dimensional stability and is particularly excellent in heat resistance, a film which is excellent in mechanical properties, dimensional stability and heat resistance because it is obtained from the polyolefin resin composition and which is particularly excellent in meltdown properties, a macroporous membrane which is excellent in permeability and shutdown properties in addition to the above properties, and uses thereof. The polyolefin resin composition of the present invention (C) comprises 85 to 50% by mass of ultrahigh-molecular weight polyethylene (A) having a specific intrinsic viscosity and 15 to 50% by mass of a polymer (B) containing a repeating unit derived from 4-methyl-1-pentene, in 100% by mass of the polyolefin resin composition (C).

  • Publication number: 20110256402
    Abstract: Provided is an ethylene polymer composition which can be obtained with a solid phase method such as solid phase drawing molding, is suitable for producing a molded article having high strength, and has the following properties. This ethylene polymer composition comprises an ethylene polymer (a) with an intrinsic viscosity [?] of not less than 2 dL/g and not more than 20 dL/g and an ethylene polymer (b) with an intrinsic viscosity [?] of more than 35 dL/g and not more than 50 dL/g, with the mass ratio (a)/(b) being from 0/100 to 50/50 and the [?] for the entire composition being more than 30 dL/g and not more than 50 dL/g. The method for producing the ethylene polymer composition includes, for example, the polymerization of an ethylene-containing olefin under specific conditions using a catalyst for olefin polymerization which comprises a solid titanium catalyst component comprising magnesium, a halogen and titanium.

  • Publication number: 20010033940
    Abstract: A poly-4-methyl-1-pentene resin laminate excellent in not only heat sealing properties and oxygen gas permeability but also blocking resistance is provided. The poly-4-methyl-1-pentene resin laminate comprises a layer made of a 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (A), an intermediate layer made of an adhesive resin composition (B) and a layer made of a propylene polymer composition (C) comprising 60 to 90 parts by weight of a propylene polymer (c-1) and 10 to 40 parts by weight of a 1-butene polymer (c-2), the total amount of said components (c-1) and (c-2) being 100 parts by weight. This poly-4-methyl-1-pentene resin laminate can be used as a material of freshness-keeping packaging media and culture containers. Also provided is a poly-4-methyl-1-pentene resin laminate having excellent peel resistance and capable of being easily controlled in the oxygen gas permeability.
