Abstract

ABSTRACT

A polypropylene article or foil with a content of fine particle cellulose which has greatly improved durable adhesion characteristics brought about by surface activation such as irradiation, flame or chemical treatment. Mineral fillers and modifying agents may be included.

Description

~ss~ln Polypropyiene ~rticle with Improved Adhesion This invention relates to polypropylene (PP) and particularly foils of polypropylene with improved adhesion characteristlcs, and to a process for its production.
For many areas in whlch they are employed, the wear characteristics of materials have to be enhanced, e.g., by lacquering or by being coated wlth or laminated to thin Einishing foils sheets or veneers. At the present time, predominantly PVC and special papers are used for such improvements especially for metal, wood, and cellulose materials.
When foils are used for surface improvement one proceeds from the assumption that coating on carrier materials or on other films is to be carried out at temperatures which are Erequently in excess of 100C and that it is uneconomic to cool the laminate Ln the roller-coating installation or press. A high level of thermal forming stability is also necessary for coating which makes use of chemically active type adhesives and which, because of the required level of storage stability, are best selected so that the reaction proceeds at a temperature above 80C. This is also necessary for coating with polymer films when no delamination should take place at the temperature involved.
The physical characteristics, especially of thermal forming stability and the good environmental characteristics, of polypropylene and its co-polymerisates are particularly well suited to surface improvement.
However, a decisive disadvantage of polypropylene, results from its surface engergy characteristics which prevent sufficiently good and permanent adhesion of suitable lacquers, adhesives, and polymer films.

1 1 5801 ~
i i~n object o~ the present invention is to improve the adhesion characteristics of polypropylene foils by modifying the surface energy properties so as to ensure that suitable and permanent printing, lacquering, and adhesion will be made possible.
Processes used to improve the adhesion characteristics of films, especially polypropylene films, are already known. ~n example is corona treatment (see Adhaesion, 1979, Volume 12, pp.381 - 389). Although this treatment increases tlle surface tension temporarily, the effect diminishes during storage and/or under the effects of high temperatures. An alternative process involves flame treatment of such foils. The same disadvantages arise as with the corona treatment. Chemical treatment with ozone, fluorine, chlorine, etc., is also known. However a particular disadvantage witll these and which may cause problems is their chemical aggressiveness. ~ further known process is the irradiation with high energy beams such as electron beams, ultra-violet rays, lasers, and the like. Such processes are relatively costly and in most instances require the additional use of seniti~ers and the durability of the effect varies.
~ permanent improvement in surface adhesion can be achieved by chemical grafting using high energy beams. However, this process is too costly to be suitable for the areas of application considered here.
In accordance with the present disclosure, a permanent increase in surface tension and adhesion is achieved by providing a content of finely divided cellulose in the polypropylene foil, which is then subjected to known surface treatment methods for increasing surface tension, but which to date have resulted in no permanent eEfects. The inventive idea is based on the surprising fact that a content of finely divided cellulose in 1~5~01l) the polypropylene improves the effectiveness and the durability of the surEace treatment. This effect c~ln be further increased if the cellulose is added to a polyethylene batch. F~lrther favourable effects result from the accompanying use of mineral Eillers.
Finely divided cellulose produced by the sulfite or sulfate processes is suitable and preferred. Natural or recycled cellulose is also suitable.
The amount of cellulose may be between 30 and 50 percent by weight of ~ the total weight of polypropylene and cellulose. If a content of 50 ; 10 percent by weight is exceeded, the strength characteristics deteriorate unduly.
l~hen the cellulose content is below 3 ~ by weight the desired improvement of surface activation is insufficiently pronounced. It is preferred that the material contain 3 to 30%-wt of cellulose.
The degree of fineness of the cellulose used in the foil lies between 1 to lQ0 um for a fibre thickness of 10 to 30 ym. If the particles are more finely divided the expense rises unduly; larger particles lead to problems in the production of smooth and thin foils. However, for natural or regenerated cellulose particles of up to 100 ,um thick and with a greatest mean length of 200 ~um can be used without difficulties in the formation of the foil.
Commercial grades of polypropylene are suitable, including copolymers with ~-olefins and graft copolymers with vinyl bonds. Random and block copolymers with 1 to 10 mol-~ ethylene or mixtures with polyethylene (PE), particularly with 5 to 20~ PE, that have a thermal resistance VSP/A above 100C are preferred.

~t ~!

~58~n In addition, the new foils can also contain mineral fillers. Flllers of this kind ~or polymer foils are already known. Mlca, talc, silicates and silicic acld in their clifferent forms are especially suitable and for ~his reason are preferred. E~arnples of other usable mineral fillers are carbonates, particularly calcium carbonate such as limestone and chalk, and magnesium carbonate and the like.
Characteristics such as Shore hardness, vicat point, adhesion and tensile strength can be influenced by the addition of suitable mineral fillers. In the event that suitable mineral fillers of this kind are present, it is desirable that the foil contain 3 to 30%-wt and preferrably 3 to 20~-wt, related to the sum of the weight of polyolefine and cellulose.
The foils can also contain one or several organic modifying agents.
These serve to control the toughness, calendaring properties, e~trudability and similiar characteristics. A group of materials preferred for this purpose are blockpolymers of styrol with butadiene or isobutylene or isoprene. Other suitable modifying agents are polymers that are based on styrol-butadiene, methacrylate-butadiene-styrol.
Polyolefins, containing functional groups, are particularly suitable for affecting the physical characteristics and adhesability. Modifying additives of this kind are desirably present in the amount of 0.5 to 20~-wt, preferrably 2 to 10%-wt, with respect in each case to the sum of the weights of the polyolefin and cellulose.
The use of wood dust in place of cellulose is not generally recommended, because of its inherent color, insufficient cleanliness, deficient resistance to light and that it changes color when affected by temperature. Also the adhesive effect achieved is not as good.

. . .

The relationship to cellulose content, of the increase in surface tension from coroncl treatment and :its permanence, are shown in the test results reproduced in Table I. In the ~nufacture of the foils tested, the cellulose was Qdded by meclns of a tlD-PE~Masterbatch 1:1 (ilD-PE
Hostalen* GC7260).

The foil samples were produced under identical conditions, corona treated and then pressed at 140C at lO kp/cm2 for 10 seconds. The durability of the adhesion was assessed by storing for one day at 90C. The results are shown in Table

further object of this disclosure is to provide a process for manufacturing a polypropylene foil with improved adhesion characteristics, making the foil by conventional methods and then giving a surface activation treatment, and characterized in that fine-grained * Trade Mark ~15801n cellulose is added as a ~iller. It is preferred that 3 to 50%-wt, particularly 3 to 30%-wt of cellulose be added, with respect to the sum of the weights of polyolefin and the cellulose. Cellulose fibers are suitable up to a length of 200 ~Im for a mean diameter of up to lOO,um.
The above statements apply for the preferred polypropylenes. Conventional production methods and mlxing technologies known to those skilled in the art are suitable for the production of the foils.
~ lineral fillers and/or modifying agents can be added in the production of the foils. The foregoing data covering the composition of the foils will apply accordingly.
The surface activation may be achieved by irradiation, or by flame treatment or reaction with ozone. Preferred is corona treatment, or other irradiation methods using electron beams, ultra-violet, or laser light.
The surface adhesion of polypropylene foils is considerably improved by means of the new method and the new foils are particularly suitable for coating, printing, enameling or lacquering, and adhesion, particularly in thos~ present systems which use very short process times and the highest possible temperatures, and in some instances such use is now possible for the first time. When the new foils were cemented, for example, using urea-formaldehyde resin there was no change in adhesion even after several months. The resistance of surface activation to the effects of temperature was also greatly improved. As an example, the adhesion of the new foils which had been laminated by means of urea-formaldehyde resin onto chipboard panels displayed no differences over the range of coating temperatures from 80 to 140C. with a 30 second press time.

~rinting ink~, for exalnl)le those based on terpolymers of vlnyl chloride - vinyl acetate - ~aleic aclds oE 0~l-group containing vinyl polymers, and also conventional polyethlene printing inks show equally good adhesion as ~eaction lacquers, for example, those based on polyurethane~melamine resins and ultra-violet hardened polyester epoxide and polyurethane acrylates. Even after l,000 hrs of xenotest weathering and cropical testing it was not posslble to determine any change in adilesion according to ~ST~I standard ~2142-63T (lattice~cut method).
The characteristics of the foils could be widely varied by the addition of mineral fillers and organic modifying agents and the advantageous adhesion characteristics could be partially improved by the same method. As an example, the surface adhesion achieved by means of corona treatment of a foil consisting of 95 parts of polypropylene and 5 parts of cellulose could be favourably improved by the addition of 20 or 30 parts of talc.
Conventional dyes and pigments are not disadvantageous.
The new foils can also be bonded directly to metals, wood, polymers and copolymers with polymer groups and the like, by fusion without the ~Ise of adhesives.
Coating is also possible at low temperatures, e.g., using epoxy resins and polyurethanes as well as vinyl acetate-copolymers.
