Abstract

Provided is a method for producing an aqueous modified polyolefin dispersion composition that is industrially excellent, the method comprising the steps of preparing an aqueous modified polyolefin dispersion that does not contain a surfactant, and then mixing a specific surfactant, whereby foaming can be suppressed during the removal of the organic solvent, and the processing time can be significantly reduced. The method for producing an aqueous modified polyolefin dispersion composition comprises the steps (1) and (2): (1) step 1 of obtaining an aqueous modified polyolefin dispersion using a modified polyolefin, an organic solvent, a base compound, and water as starting materials; and (2) step 2 of mixing a surfactant with the aqueous modified polyolefin dispersion in an amount of 0.1 to 10 wt. % based on the weight of the modified polyolefin.

Claims (21)

1. A method for producing an aqueous modified polyolefin dispersion composition comprising the steps (1) and (2):

(1) step 1 of combining a modified polyolefin having an acid value of 5 to 50 KOHmg/g, an organic solvent, a base compound, and water as starting materials, to obtain an aqueous modified polyolefin dispersion; and

(2) step 2 of mixing a surfactant with the aqueous modified polyolefin dispersion in an amount of 0.1 to 10 wt. % based on the weight of the modified polyolefin.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the modified polyolefin is an acid-modified polyolefin and/or an acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified chlorinated polyolefin has a chlorine content of 10 to 35 wt. %.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the modified polyolefin has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 150,000.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the modified polyolefin is obtained by acid-modifying a propylene-α-olefin copolymer, or by acid-modifying a propylene-α-olefin copolymer, followed by chlorination, and the propylene-α-olefin copolymer has a propylene component content of 60 to 97 mol %.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the propylene-α-olefin copolymer is a propylene-α-olefin copolymer synthesized using a metallocene catalyst.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the organic solvent includes at least an ether-based solvent.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the surfactant is a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 9 or more.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 9 or more is at least one selected from the group consisting of:

a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether-based surfactant,

a polyoxyalkylene styrenated phenyl ether-based surfactant,

a polyoxyalkylene alkyl phenyl ether-based surfactant,

a polyoxyalkylene alkyl amine-based surfactant,

a polyoxyalkylene amine-based surfactant,

a polyoxyalkylene alkyl amide-based surfactant,

a polyoxyalkylene fatty acid ester-based surfactant,

an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block polymer-based surfactant,

an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide random polymer-based surfactant, and

a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester-based surfactant.
