Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A thermoplastic/elastomer composition useful for the manufacture of air, heater and air conditioner ducts, and air protective covers includes 45 to 70 parts by weight polypropylene, 20 to 45 parts by weight ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer elastomer (EPDM) 0 to 10 parts by weight low density polyethylene, 0 to 10 parts by weight calcium carbonate, 0 to 5 parts by weight oil and 1 part by weight stabilizer. The preferred compo-sition contains 47 parts by weight polypropylene, 45 parts by weight EPDM, 5 parts by weight CaCO3, 2 parts by weight oil and 1 part by weight stabilizer.

Description

4~

This invention rela-tes to a plastic composition, and in particular to a thermoplastic/elastomer composition.
While not limited to such use, a compositio~ in accord-ance with the present invention is particularly intended for use in air, heater and air conditioner ducts. The conventional wire suppor-ted ducts covered with cloth or rubberized material are expensive in terms of both raw materials and labour. Such ducts are produced by forming a wire structure, and then securing a cover material thereto.
A review of the patent literature discloses compositions which, in some respects are similar to the composition proposed by the present invention. The compositions are described in Canadian P.atents Nos. 713,134, issued to E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company on July 6, 1965; 814,515, issued to Union Carbide Corporation on June 3, 1969; 881,597, issued to Esso Research and Engineering Company on September 21, 1971 and United States Patents Nos. 3,806,558, issued to Uniroyal Inc. on April 23, 1974; 3,835,201, issued to Wniroyal Inc. on September 10, 1974;
3,919, 358, issued to The B.F. Goodrich Company on November 11, 1975; 3,957,919 issued to Copolymer Rubber & Chemical Corporation ; on May 18, 1976; 4,059,654, issued to Copolymer Rubber & Chemical Corporation on November 22, 1977 and 4,113,806, issued to Exxon Research & Engine ring Co. on September 12, 1978. In spite of the existence of such composltions, there still exists a need 25~ ~for~a plastic composltion~with good processability and thermal stability, and which can be used in blow molding equipment.

An article such as a duct formed of a composition of ~, the type described herein must be capable of maintainlng structural integrity in extreme conditions of heat and cold.
The duct must also be able to withstand the turbulence created by hot air currents passing therethrough.
The object oE the present invention is to meet the above defined needs by providing a readily processable, thermally stable blow moldable thermoplastic/elastomeric composition, which is relatively inexpensive to produce.
Accordingly,,the present invention relates to a plastic composition comprising 47 to 70 parts by weight polypropylene, 20 to 45 parts by weight ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer elastomer 0 to 10 paæts by weight low density polyeth~lene, 0 to 10 parts by weight calcium carbonate, 0 to 5 parts by weight oil and 1 part by weight stabilizer. ~ ;
The invention will'now be described in greater detail with reference to the following Table 1, which provides a list , of sixteen compositions.

Treated CaC03 disperses more readily in the polypropylene phase, increases output (production) and results in a more uniformly finished article than untreated CaC03.
Oil ~ any suitable oil such as Sunpar 125 (a trademark for a Sunco Inc. paraffinic oil).
Stabilizer - the stabilizer is an antioxidant such as Irganox 1010 (a registered trademark for a phenol type antioxidant).
I,aboratory testing of the compositions listed in Table 1 produced the results listed in Table 2. The samples used in the tests were cut from continuous extrusion films.

A duct was procluced using Sample No. 16, and the finished produc-t was tested to give the results given in Table 3.

(g/cc)_ 16 20+2 700+50 45+3 0.925 It will be noted that in some of the samples, low density polyethylene is substituted for the oil. The polyethylene is preferred in many respects. It is more difficult to produce homogeneous mixture with oil than with low density polyethylene in pellet form. Oil is more volatile than polyethylene, and may result in pin holes in the finished product when used in high termperat~re (350 -- 450F) blow molding. Oil degrades more quickly than low density polyethylene, and, because of its viscosity, it is more difficult to feed oil than low density polyethylene.
