Description

POLYAMIDE-POLYOLEFIN RELEASE FILM AND ITS USE IN
PRODUCING A SHEET MOLDING COMPOUND
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the invention The present invention relates to a polyamide/polyolefin alloy film useful in the preparation of molding compound products, more specifically a sheet molding compound (SMC).
Such a sheet molding compound is employed for man-ufacturing fabricated parts in areas such as the automobile industry (fenders or bumpers, rear doors, etc), in boat-building (hulls of boats) as well as in the electronics indus-try (housings).
The SMC compound generally consists of a cross-linkable polymer resin, in particular an unsaturated polyester, togeth-er with reinforcing fillers such as glass fibers, along with various other additives present in smaller amounts.
The SMC compound is normally prepared by laying the fibers on a layer of unsaturated polyester resin, which itself is supported by a removable film generally composed of Polyethylene or polyamide.
2~64~6 Following this, a further film of the same nature is layed on top of the resin/filler system in order to form a composite laminate or sandwich structure between the two films. The laminate structure is then passed through a series of kneading and compacting rollers and is generally rolled into large diameter rolls.
After this, it is stored prior to its use in final manufacturing. During the storage period, partially cross-linking of the polyester resin takes place leading to an increase of the SMC compound's viscosity until it reaches a consistency suitable for molding.
Users of the SMC compound who generally are molders, cut off a piece of suitable size from the roll, peel off the support film and insert the SMC compound into a heated mold in order for it to undergo simultaneous transformation and com-plete hardening. mhus, composite masses in SMC laminate lend themselves readily to use in compression molding operations.
Three properties of the resulting laminate structure film are of capital importance to manufacturers and users of the SMC laminate.
The first of these relates to the styrene permeability of the peelable film. It is essential for the peelable film to have very low styrene permeability in order to avoid loss of styrene monomer, this latter performing the function of cross-linking agent in the SMC laminate. Such loss of styrene 2~~~~~5 monomer is also harmful to the health of operatives during manufacture of the SMC and storage thereof.
The second property concerns the ease of peeling of this film once on the polyester structure, in order to avoid resid-ual film staying stuck to the structure and to avoid the danger of tearing the film during the SMC manufacturing and transformation operations.
Finally, such peelable films need to have very low humidity take-up and water permeability in order for the quality of the polyester resin, which is highly sensitive to water, not to be changed during the SMC laminate manufacturing operations, during storage of the polyester or during trans-formation of the SMC.
As has been said above, polyethylene is employed for the peelable film in SMC laminates. Although the characteristics of polyethylene are suitable for the performance of automatic peeling operations, and it exhibits satisfactory inertness towards water for this application, it does however suffer from high permeability to styrene, thus generally requiring ZO such rolls to be wrapped in aluminum foil.
Prior art European Patent 27 191 in the name of Allied Chemical Corporation, describes a polyamide release film for use in the manufacture of SMC compounds where the film has low crystall-inity and consists of a mixture of 70 to 90~ by weight of a 2~64~6 polyamide (PA-6 and/or PA-6/6) having a crystallinity less than 35$, and of 10 to 30~ of a polyolefin compound or a copolymer thereof, the polyolefin having a crystallinity of less than 50~. The polyolefin is a high molecular weight S alpha-olefin or a copolymer thereof consisting of an alpha-olefin and a vinyl acetate monomer or alkyl acrylate monomer.
The film, which has a thickness comprised between 12.7 and 127 Vim, has a Graves tear strength of at least 400 g in the longitudinal direction, as determined by ASTM'D-1004-66 and a styrene permeability less than 200 x 10 9g-cm/cm2-h.
Commercially available PA films, although they have good characteristics as regards styrene permeability, only have sufficient peelability properties provided that the film is stripped off manually, these properties becoming insufficient when automatic film stripping processes currently under devel-opment are applied.
Moreover, with the progressive replacement of PE films by PA films, there is the additional problem of the high sensitivity of polyamides to humidity. Water effectively leads to deterioration of the polyester or epoxy resin, lead-ing to major defects in the parts produced in SMC. In order to overcome this, suppliers of such films have to protect the rolls by applying aluminum films before supply to SMC man-ufactures and in SMC storage areas prior to final transforma-tion, thus leading to a not-insignificant increase in costs.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES
The following examples illustrate the invention without however limiting it.
Example 1 (sheath or tubular film) A mixture comprising, by weight, 33 parts of polypropylene, 57 parts of polyamide-6 and 10 parts of a sequenced copolymer of propylene and 12$ by weight of ethylene, of melting point 158°C (copolymer main body), with a malefic grafting rate of 1.16$, grafted with a Mn 2700 monoamine PA-6 oligomer, prepared by the method described in European Patent 342 OG6, was continuously introduced into a Werner-type extruder. The material temperature was comprised between 255°C and 270°C along the extruder barrel. The screw rotation was 150 rpm and the material throughput 20 kg/li. The * trade mark granules obtained at the outlet from the extruder were trans-formed using an extrusion-blowing technique for tubular arti-cles in a Kaufman extruder with a three-groove rotating helical die of diameter 150 mm and a gap of 0.8 mm, in order to produce a 25 ~~m tubular film. The operating conditions were as follows:
cylinder temperature . 225-250°C
die temperature . 250-260°C
stretching speed . 28 m/min The PA employed was a polyamide-6 of melt index (MI) measured at 235°C under a load of 2.16 kg equal to 20 g/10 min and the polypropylene was a statistical copolymer of propylene and 3$ by weight of ethylene with a melt index of 2 g/10 min (sample 1.A).
In order to determine the film's suitability for peel-ing, surface tension measurements were carried out on the film and, by way of comparison, on a peelable film consisting of a mixture of, by weight, 89~ polyamide-6 and 10$ of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer containing 9~ of vinyl acetate and 1~ of titanium dioxide (sample 1.B). The surface tension of the two samples was determined by measuring, using a goniometer, the forward contact angle, at equilibrium, of standard drops of liquid on the substrate in conformity with the method described in Fowkes, F.M., Ind.Eng.Chem.,56 (1964) 40 or in Owens, D.K. and Wendt, R.C., J.Appl. Polymer Sci. 13 (1969) 1741. Typical examples of standard liquids are di-iodomethane, glycerol, and benzylic alcohol.
Test no. 1.A 1.B
Surface tension 32 46 (mN.m 1) The low surface tension enabled automatic peeling of the film to be carried out on the SMC composite without causing tearing of the film to start, this necessitating shutting down of the production line when manufacturing SMC products.
Water vapor permeability measurements were also carried out under the following conditions:
Apparatus: Lyssy vapor permeation tester 1L 80 - 40000 Temperature: 38°C
Relative humidity: 90~
Resistive humidity detector Measurement principle:
The membrane to be tested was placed in a saturated atmosphere and in a space provisionally brought to a dry atmosphere. A resistive humidity detector placed in the dry space recorded continuous relative humidity variations as a function of time. The time measurement needed for humidity to 2os4~s go from one limiting value to another was representative of the sample's permeability.
Temperature measurement was converted into permeability values by comparison with values measured previously using a known permeability standard test.
The results are expressed in g/m2/24h and are summarized in the table below:
Test no. Water vapor permeability 1.A 56 1.B 380 Humidity take-up measurements were also carried out using a weighing method (measurement of take-up in weight at 100$ relative humidity at 23°C starting from a time To).
The styrene permeability of film 1.A was also measured using the method described in "American Institute of Chemical Engineers, 53rd National Meeting", Preprint no. 32d, 1964, by Bixler and Michaels. According to this method, the sample had a styrene permeability of about 8 x 10 9g-cm/cm2-h. A styrene permeability that is less than 200 x 10 9 g-cm/cm2-h is con-sidered as good.

Along the extruder shaft, the material temperature was comprised between 250°C and 270°C, the screw rotation speed was 150 rpm and the material throughput was 20 kg/h. The granules ob-tained at the outlet from the extruder were transformed using a cast extrusion technique employing a Thoret extruder into trade marks 2~~~~~5 the form of a flat film or cast film of 25 um thickness (sam-ple 2.A). Operating conditions were as follows:
Temperature profile . 220-250°C
Cylinder temperature . 80°C
Screw speed . 28 rpm By way of comparison, a flat film of the same composi-tion and thickness as sample 1.B was employed (sample 2.B).
