Abstract

Disclosed is a polypropylene resin composition having superior mechanical properties. More particularly, the polypropylene resin composition includes glass fiber and talc as fillers under an optimized condition and includes an ethylene-butene elastomer. The polypropylene resin composition exhibits no cracking, even when exposed to aromatic compounds or various chemicals, because of its superior chemical resistance, is easily processable because of its excellent mechanical properties such as impact strength, rigidity, etc., and is useful for use in automotive interior parts because of its superior scratch resistance, molding shrinkage, etc.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A polypropylene resin composition having superior mechanical properties, comprising:
about 44.8-55.8 parts by weight of a polypropylene having a melt index of about 10-60 g/10 min at 230° C.;
about 10-20 parts by weight of glass fiber;
about 2-10 parts by weight of talc;
about 10-20 parts by weight of an ethylene-butene elastomer;
about 1-3 parts by weight of a mixture of a siloxane-based compound and an amide-based compound; and
modified polypropylene with about 1-2 mol % of polar groups thereof being graft-polymerized,
wherein the parts by weight are relative to 100 parts by weight of the polypropylene resin composition.

2. The polypropylene resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the glass fiber has an average fiber length of about 3-10 mm and an average diameter of about 4-20 μm.

3. The polypropylene resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the talc is in plate form and has an average particle size of about 2-10 μm.

4. The polypropylene resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the siloxane-based compound and the amide-based compound are a mixture of the siloxane-based compound and the amide-based compound at a ratio of about 1-9:9-1.

5. An automotive interior part comprising the polypropylene resin composition according to claim 1 .
