Abstract

The present invention provides a coating composition for polyolefin resins, comprising a resin obtained by graft-copolymerizing at least one member selected from the group consisting of an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid and an acid anhydride thereof with at least one member selected from the group consisting of polypropylene and a propylene-α-olefin copolymer, chlorinating the graft copolymer to give an acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin, linking a (meth)acrylic ester having one hydroxyl group to the polyolefin via an ester linkage, and then graft-copolymerizing (meth)acrylic acid monomers with the polyolefin; and a process for producing the composition.

Claims (17)

1. A coating composition for polyolefin resins, comprising a resin obtained by graft-copolymerizing at least one member selected from the group consisting of an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid and an acid anhydride thereof with at least one member selected from the group consisting of polypropylene and a propylene-α-olefin copolymer, chlorinating the graft copolymer to give an acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin, heating the polyolefin to convert carboxyl groups into an acid anhydride group, linking the acid anhydride group with the hydroxyl group of a hydroxyl-group-containing (meth)acrylic ester via an ester linkage, and then graft-copolymerizing (meth)acrylic acid monomers with the polyolefin.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein 0.1 to 10 weight % of at least one member selected from the group consisting of an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid and an acid anhydride thereof is graft-copolymerized with at least one member selected from the group consisting of polypropylene and a propylene-α-olefin copolymer.

3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the chlorine content of the acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin is 16 to 35 weight %.

4. The composition according to claim 2 , wherein the chlorine content of the acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin is 16 to 35 weight %.

5. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of the acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin to the (meth)acrylic acid monomers is 50:50 to 10:90.

6. The composition according to claim 2 , wherein the weight ratio of the acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin to the (meth)acrylic acid monomers is 50:50 to 10:90.

7. The composition according to claim 3 , wherein the weight ratio of the acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin to the (meth)acrylic acid monomers is 50:50 to 10:90.

8. The composition according to claim 4 , wherein the weight ratio of the acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin to the (meth)acrylic acid monomers is 50:50 to 10:90.

9. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the (meth)acrylic acid monomers include cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate in an amount of 20 to 80 weight %.

10. The composition according to claim 2 , wherein the (meth)acrylic acid monomers include cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate in an amount of 20 to 80 weight %.

11. The composition according to claim 3 , wherein the (meth)acrylic acid monomers include cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate in an amount of 20 to 80 weight %.

12. The composition according to claim 4 , wherein the (meth)acrylic acid monomers include cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate in an amount of 20 to 80 weight %.

13. The composition according to claim 5 , wherein the (meth)acrylic acid monomers include cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate in an amount of 20 to 80 weight %.

14. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein the (meth)acrylic acid monomers include cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate in an amount of 20 to 80 weight %.

15. The composition according to claim 7 , wherein the (meth)acrylic acid monomers include cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate in an amount of 20 to 80 weight %.

16. The composition according to claim 8 , wherein the (meth)acrylic acid monomers include cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate in an amount of 20 to 80 weight %.

17. A process for producing a coating composition for polyolefin resins, comprising graft-copolymerizing at least one member selected from the group consisting of an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid and an acid anhydride thereof with at least one member selected from the group consisting of polypropylene and a propylene-α-olefin copolymer, chlorinating the graft copolymer to give an acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin, heating the polyolefin to convert carboxyl groups into an acid anhydride group, linking the acid anhydride group with the hydroxyl group of a hydroxyl-group-containing (meth)acrylic ester via an ester linkage, and then graft-copolymerizing (meth)acrylic acid monomers with the polyolefin.
