Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multimodal polyethylene resin, a composition comprising such resin and to applications of such resin or composition, for example to make a shaped article.
- the resin and composition of the invention are particularly suitable for use in pipes.
- Polyethylene compositions with a multimodal molecular weight distribution can offer distinct advantages compared with unimodal polyethylenes or other polyolefins.
- bimodal polyethylenes may combine the favorable mechanical properties afforded by a high molecular weight polyethylene with the good processability of a low molecular weight polyethylene.
- Prior art reports that such materials can advantageously be employed in various applications, including film or pipe applications.
- Prior art multimodal polyethylenes suggested for use in pipes include the materials disclosed in the PCT applications with the publication numbers WO 97 /29152, WO 00/ 01765, WO 00/18814, WO 01/02480 and WO 01/25328.
- PE polyethylene
- Pipes manufactured from polyethylenes classifying as PE80-type or PElOO-type resins must withstand a mimimum circumferential stress, or hoop stress, of 8 MPa (PE80) or 10 MPa (PE100) at 20°C for 50 years.

- the multimodal polyethylene resin according to the present invention enables pipes combining an excellent high temperature performance, as reflected e.g. in an excellent Long Term Hydrostatic Strength at higher temperatures (well above 20°C) with good flexibility.
- the measured lifetime curves at each temperature typically comprise a high stress, lower lifetime ductile failure mode and a lower stress, longer lifetime brittle failure mode.
- a schematic representation of typical lifetime curves is found at page 412, Figure 5, of the publication by J. Scheirs et al., TRIP 4 (12), 1996, pages 408 - 415.
- the curves can be divided into three stages, stage I representing the ductile failure stage, stage II (knee) representing a gradual change in failure mode from ductile to brittle, and stage III representing the brittle failure stage. Of particular interest are stages II and III, because these stages control the lifetime of a pipe in practice.
- the pipes of the present invention show an excellent hoop stress performance particularly at higher temperatures.
- the invention is further illustrated by the following Examples, which, however, shall not be construed as a limitation of the invention. Examples
- melt indices are expressed as I 2 (determined according to ASTM D-1238, condition E, 190°C/2.16 kg).
- the ratio of 1 10 (measured according to ASTM D-1238, Condition N, 190°C/10 kg) to I 2 is the melt flow ratio and designated as I 10 /I 2 .
- Tensile properties such as yield stress, yield strain, maximum tensile stress and maximum elongation, stress at break and strain at break are determined in accordance with ISO 527 with test specimen 5A at a test speed of 50 mm/min.
- Izod impact properties are measured according to ASTM D-256. Flexural modulus is measured according to ASTM D-790 and average hardness D is determined according to ASTM D-2240.
- the multimodal polyethylene resin used in the experiments is a bimodal ethylene interpolymer having an I 2 of 0.85 g/10 min, a density of 0.940 g/ccm and an I 10 /I 2 of 9.8.
- the resin is made by in-situ blending using (continuous) solution process technology and two sequentially operated reactors.
- the HMW ethylene interpolymer is a homogeneous, substantially linear ethylene/octene copolymer which is made in the primary reactor using a constrained geometry catalyst.
- Said HMW interpolymer has an I 2 of 0.034 g/10 min and a density of 0.921 g/ccm.
- the weight average molecular weight is 228,000 and the Mw/Mn ratio is 2.1.
- the LMW ethylene polymer is a heterogeneous, linear ethylene/octene copolymer having an I 2 melt index of 20 g/10 min and a density of 0.953 g/ccm.
- the weight average molecular weight of the LMW polymer is 52,100 and the Mw/Mn ratio is 3.
- the LMW ethylene polymer is made in the secondary reactor using a multi-site Ziegler-Natta
- the ratio of HMW copolymer to LMW copolymer in the bimodal polyethylene resin is 40 to 60.
- the resin has the following tensile, impact and other properties (each given value represents the average of five measurements): Yield stress [MPa]: 21
- Monolithic pipes made from the above resin are subjected to hydrostatic pressure testing using the test method described in ISO 1167 (1996) and water as the internal and external test medium.
- the pipes have nominal dimensions of 16 mm x 2 mm.
- the pipes made from the bimodal polyethylene resin show an excellent hoop stress performance, especially at high(er) temperatures. Surprisingly, no knee (stage II) reflecting a change in failure mode from ductile to brittle is manifest, yet. Test results already go beyond the control points for PE-RT according to DIN 16883 (1.9 MPa/8760 h at 110°C) and PEX according to ISO 10146 (2.5 MPa/8760 h at 110°C).
