Abstract

Disclosed is a polypropylene resin composition for an uncoated crash pad. The composition may include an amount of about 50 to 80 wt % of a polypropylene resin having a Polydispersity Index (PI) of about 4.5 to 6.5, a weight average molecular weight of about 200,000 to 350,000 g/mol, and an isotactic peptide fraction of about 96% or greater as measured by a C 13 -NMR method, an amount of about 1 to 30 wt % of rubber having a melt index of about 1 to 6 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 Kg), an amount of about 11 to 30 wt % of an inorganic filler composed of a mixture of an amount of about 10 to 20 wt % of talc and an amount of about 1 to 10 wt % of whisker, and an amount of about 1 to 5 wt % of an anti-scratch agent, all the wt % are based on the total weight of the polypropylene resin composition.

Claims (18)

1. A polypropylene resin composition for an uncoated crash pad, comprising:

an amount of 50 to 80 wt % of a polypropylene resin having a Polydispersity Index (PI) of 4.5 to 6.5, a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 350,000 g/mol, and an isotactic peptide fraction of 96% or greater as measured by a C 13 -NMR method;

an amount of 1 to 30 wt % of a rubber component having a melt index of 1 to 6 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 Kg);

an amount of 11 to 30 wt % of an inorganic filler comprising a mixture of an amount of 10 to 20 wt % of talc and an amount of 1 to 10 wt % of whisker; and

an amount of 1 to 5 wt % of an anti-scratch agent,

all the wt % based on the total weight of the polypropylene resin composition,

wherein the polypropylene resin is a mixture of homopolypropylene and block copolypropylene,

wherein the block copolypropylene has a molecular weight distribution (MWD) of 7 to 12, a melt index of 20 to 100 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 Kg), and a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 350,000 g/mol, and

wherein the block copolypropylene is a mixture of (i) block copolypropylene having a melt index of 20 to 40 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 Kg) and a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 350,000 g/mol and (ii) block copolypropylene having a melt index of 60 to 100 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 Kg) and a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 250,000 g/mol,

wherein the rubber component comprises ethylene-octene (EO)-based rubber and styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS)-based rubber which are mixed at a weight ratio of 1:1.

2. The polypropylene resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the homopolypropylene has a molecular weight distribution (MWD) of 6 to 8, a melt index of 10 to 30 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 Kg), and a weight average molecular weight of 200000 to 250000 g/mol.

3. The polypropylene resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the talc has an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 1 μm.

4. The polypropylene resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the whisker has an aspect ratio of 10 to 50 and an acicular shape.

5. The polypropylene resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypropylene resin composition has a melt index of 25 to 43 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 Kg), a flexural modulus of 1500 to 2300 MPa, and an Izod impact strength of 450 to 510 J/m.

6. The polypropylene resin composition of claim 1 , consisting essentially of an amount of 50 to 80 wt % of a polypropylene resin having a Polydispersity Index (PI) of 4.5 to 6.5, a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 350,000 g/mol, and an isotactic peptide fraction of 96% or greater as measured by a C 13 -NMR method; an amount of 1 to 30 wt % of rubber having a melt index of 1 to 6 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 Kg); an amount of 11 to 30 wt % of an inorganic filler including a mixture of an amount of 10 to 20 wt % of talc and an amount of 1 to 10 wt % of whisker; and 1 to 5 wt % of an anti-scratch agent, all the wt % of the components are based on the total weight of the polypropylene resin.

7. The polypropylene resin composition of claim 1 , consisting of an amount of 50 to 80 wt % of a polypropylene resin having a Polydispersity Index (PI) of 4.5 to 6.5, a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 350,000 g/mol, and an isotactic peptide fraction of 96% or greater as measured by a C 13 -NMR method; an amount of 1 to 30 wt % of rubber having a melt index of 1 to 6 g/10 min (230° C., 2.16 Kg); an amount of 11 to 30 wt % of an inorganic filler including a mixture of an amount of 10 to 20 wt % of talc and an amount of 1 to 10 wt % of whisker; and 1 to 5 wt % of an anti-scratch agent all the wt % of the components are based on the total weight of the polypropylene resin.
