Abstract
Abstract A crystalline polypropylene sheet is described, characterized by containing a polymer of a vinylcycloalkane having at least 6 carbon atoms in an amount of 0.05 wt ppm to 1 wt % (calculated as a vinylcycloalkane unit). This sheet is excellent in stiffness and transparency and is suitable for use in the production of various articles such as containers and trays.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A crystalline polypropylene extrusion molded sheet obtained from a crystalline polypropylene composition containing a polymer of a vinylcycloalkane having at least 6 carbon atoms in an amount of 0.05 wt ppm to 1 wt% calculated as a vinylcycloalkane unit, wherein said composition is prepared by one of the following methods: (1) a vinylcycloalkane having at least 6 carbon atoms is polymerized in the presence of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, and subsequently propylene is homopolymerized or copolymerized with other α-olefin; or (2) the polymer as obtained in (1) is mixed with a propylene homopolymer or a propylene/α-olefin copolymer; or (3) a polymer of a vinylcycloalkane having at least 6 carbon atoms as mixed with a propylene homopolymer or a propylene/α-olefin copolymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A crystalline polypropylene extrusion molded sheet obtained from a crystalline polypropylene composition containing a polymer of a vinylcycloalkane having at least 6 carbon atoms in an amount of 0.05 wt ppm to 1 wt% calculated as a vinylcycloalkane unit, wherein said composition is prepared by one of the following methods: (1) a vinylcycloalkane having at least 6 carbon atoms is polymerized in the presence of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, and subsequently propylene is homopolymerized or copolymerized with other α-olefin; or (2) the polymer as obtained in (1) is mixed with a propylene homopolymer or a propylene/α-olefin copolymer; or (3) a polymer of a vinylcycloalkane having at least 6 carbon atoms as mixed with a propylene homopolymer or a propylene/α-olefin copolymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words

Dependent Claim
25 words
A crystalline polypropylene extrusion molded sheet as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vinylcycloalkane is selected from vinylcyclobutane, vinylcyclopentane, vinyl-3-methylcyclopentane, vinylcyclohexane, vinyl-2-methylcyclohexane, vinyl-3-methylcyclohexane, and vinylnorbornane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A crystalline polypropylene extrusion molded sheet as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vinylcycloalkane is vinylcyclohexane or vinylnorbornane.
