Abstract

The present invention relates to a polymer composition, to a use of the polymer composition for producing an article, to an article comprising the polymer composition, preferably to an article which comprises a layer element comprising at least one layer which comprises the polymer composition.

Claims (31)

1. A polypropylene composition comprising:

(i) more than 25 wt % of a polymer of propylene (PP) being a heterophasic copolymer of propylene (iPP), which comprises a heterophasic copolymer of propylene (A), which comprises:

a polypropylene matrix component (a1) and

an elastomeric propylene copolymer component (a2) that is dispersed in said polypropylene matrix (a1), and

wherein the heterophasic copolymer of propylene (A) has a Melting temperature (Tm) (DSC) of at least 145° C., and a Vicat softening temperature (Vicat A) of at least 90° C. (according to ASTM D 1525, method A, 50° C./h, 10N), and

(ii) 0.2 to 5 wt % of additives;

based on the total amount (100 wt %) of the polypropylene composition;

wherein the additives (ii) are selected from (iia) one or more UV stabiliser(s) comprising a hindered amine compound and (iib) one or more antioxidants comprising a dialkyl amine compound and optionally additives other than UV stabiliser(s) (iia) and antioxidant(s) (iib), and wherein the additives (ii) are without phenolic unit(s).

2. The polypropylene composition according to claim 1 , wherein the hindered amine compound of the UV stabiliser(s) (iia) is selected from a compound containing one or more 2,2,6,6-substituted piperidine moiety or a compound containing one or more 2,2-substituted piperazine moiety.

3. The polypropylene composition according to claim 1 , wherein the hindered amine compound of the UV stabiliser(s) (iia) bears more than two piperidine moieties which bear substituents at least at 2,2,6,6-position.

4. The polypropylene composition according to claim 1 , wherein the hindered amine compound of the UV stabiliser(s) (iia) has a Molecular weight, M n , of 2000 g/mol or more.

5. The polypropylene composition according to claim 1 , wherein the hindered amine compound of the UV stabiliser(s) (iia) is present in an amount of 0.1 to 1.0 wt %, based on the amount (100 wt %) of the polymer composition.

6. The polypropylene composition according to claim 1 , wherein the antioxidant(s) (iib) is a di((C8-C30))alkyl amine compound.

7. The polypropylene composition according to claim 1 , wherein the antioxidant(s) (iib) is present in an amount of 20 to 3000 ppm, based on the amount (100 wt %) of the polymer composition.

8. The polypropylene composition according to claim 1 , wherein heterophasic copolymer of propylene (A) has one or more, in any order, of the following further properties:

MFR 2 of 0.2 to 20 g/10 min when measured according to ISO 1133 (at 230° C. and 2.16 kg load),

Xylene cold soluble (XCS) fraction in amount of 3 to 40 wt %,

Comonomer content of 0.5 to 20% wt %, wherein the comonomer(s) is selected from ethylene and/or C4-C8 alpha olefin comonomers,

Tensile modulus of at least 700 MPa, and/or

Density of 900 to 910 kg/m 3 .

9. An article comprising the polymer composition according to claim 1 .

10. The article according to claim 9 , comprising a layer element, wherein said layer element comprises at least one layer comprising the polymer composition.

11. The article according to claim 9 , which comprises a layer element comprising at least one layer which comprises the polymer composition wherein the layer element is selected from:

a monolayer element comprising the polypropylene composition, or

a multilayer element wherein at least one layer comprises the polypropylene composition.

12. The article according to claim 9 , which is a film selected from:

a monolayer film comprising the polypropylene composition, or

a multilayer film wherein at least one layer comprises the polypropylene composition.

13. The article according to claim 9 , which is a multilayer assembly comprising two or more layer elements, wherein at least one layer element is a layer element comprising at least one layer which comprises the polymer composition, wherein the at least one layer element is selected from:

a monolayer element comprising the polypropylene composition, or

a multilayer element wherein at least one layer comprises the polymer composition.
