Abstract

A polypropylene resin composition is provided that includes an ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin. The ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin comprises a propylene homopolymer component and an ethylene-propylene rubber copolymer component as a solvent extract. The content of the ethylene-propylene rubber copolymer component in the ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin is 25 to 40% by weight. The ratio of the content of ethylene to the content of solvent extract in the ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin based on percent by weight is 0.25 to 0.45/ The ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin has a melt index of 20 to 45 g/10 minutes when measured at 230° C. under a load of 2.16 kg.

Claims (13)

1 . A polypropylene resin composition, which comprises an ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin, wherein the ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin comprises a propylene homopolymer component and an ethylene-propylene rubber copolymer component as a solvent extract, the content of the ethylene-propylene rubber copolymer component in the ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin is 25 to 40% by weight, the ratio of the content of ethylene to the content of solvent extract in the ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin based on percent by weight is 0.25 to 0.45, and the ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin has a melt index of 20 to 45 g/10 minutes when measured at 230° C. under a load of 2.16 kg.

2 . The polypropylene resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the ethylene-propylene rubber copolymer component in the ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin has an intrinsic viscosity of 1.5 to 7 dl/g.

3 . The polypropylene resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the ethylene-propylene block copolymer resin is one in which the propylene homopolymer component and the ethylene-propylene rubber copolymer component are polymerized in series in reactors.

4 . The polypropylene resin composition of claim 1 , which further comprises an inorganic filler in an amount of 50% by weight or less based on the total weight of the composition.

5 . The polypropylene resin composition of claim 4 , wherein the inorganic filler comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of talc, mica, calcium carbonate, wollastonite, barium sulfate, clay, magnesium sulfate, and whisker.
