Incidentally, GPC measurement of the high molecular weight silicone in the masterbatch (silicone gum) in advance in the master batch, for example by performing the following process, after separating the polypropylene with high molecular weight silicones (silicone gums), the obtained polymer weight it can be carried out by measuring the silicone (silicone gums).
[0070]
[Separation between high molecular weight silicones (silicone gums) and polypropylene]
First, a sample (master batch) and 0.05g weighed, 0.1 g / L BHT (dibutylhydroxytoluene) was added to the addition of xylene 10 mL, 125 ° C. in stirred 60 min to dissolve the masterbatch. After the master batch was visually confirmed that it has completely dissolved, the solution was allowed to stand for about 3 hours at room temperature, to precipitate a crystalline polypropylene in the liquid. The crystals were precipitated solution to suction filtration using a product of Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. Fluoropore FP-100 (1μm), and washed with xylene 3 mL, CXS (xylene solubles, high molecular weight silicones (silicone gums)) and CXIS (xylene No soluble portion is separated into polypropylene).
