  • Patent number: 10493680
    Abstract: A temperature control method includes: a step of obtaining, by means of PID control, a first energization rate based on a first temperature difference between an actually measured temperature and a target temperature; a step of obtaining a second energization rate based on a second temperature difference between the ambient temperature of the environment in which a heating barrel is disposed and the target temperature; a step of obtaining a corrected energization rate on the basis of the result of comparison of the first energization rate and the second energization rate; and a step of controlling the electrical power to be supplied to a heater on the basis of the corrected energization rate. The corrected energization rate is set to any of predetermined first, second, and third conditions on the basis of the comparison result.

  • Patent number: 9096746
    Abstract: There are provided a polyolefin resin composition having excellent mechanical properties and thermal resistance; a film formed of the polyolefin resin composition, which has excellent mechanical properties and thermal resistance and which is less likely to suffer from fisheyes; a microporous membrane having excellent permeability and shutdown properties in addition to the above-mentioned physical properties; and applications thereof. Such objects are accomplished by a polyolefin resin composition containing an ultra-high molecular weight ethylene polymer (A), a 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer or 3-methyl-1-pentene polymer (B), and a polymer of an olefin having 2 to 12 carbon atoms (C) at an intended ratio.

  • 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.
