Abstract

Compounding ingredients for unvulcanized rubber, or bales of unvulcanized rubber are packaged in filler reinforced film or bags made from an ethylene alpha -olefin copolymer having a Vicat softening point below 90 DEG C and a melting point below 100 DEG C, and optionally a second ethylene copolymer is added to improve processability of the first ethylene alpha -olefin copolymer. The second ethylene copolymer will contain more long-chain branches than the first ethylene copolymer. The reinforcing filler is selected from talc, especially talc with a high aspect ratio, silica, or other mineral filler, or carbon black, having a strengthening effect on the film. The film will display relatively high 1 % secant modulus and a relatively high Elmendorf tear, for a film having a low Vicat softening point.

Description

Dispersible film
The present invention relates to be used to prepare rubber mix with bag and the rubber bale packing polymeric film of being mixed; And extend to and be used for packing or splendid attire is used to add the polymeric film of the various compositions of most polymers/additive agent mixture, wherein said mixture needs lower processing temperature, and polymeric film, must be distributed in the mixture under this temperature based on the bag or the outer packaging of this polymeric film.
In the production of rubber product, elastomerics and additive (being generally the various compositions that are mixed) combination in mixing tank forms basically mixture (or rubber compound) uniformly, then it is shaped to required finished state.The mixture of this moulding can be with after fixing or crosslinked.From the economics point of rubber production, manufacturers need be mixed and be solidified quickly in order to keep competitive power.Curing means low-temperature mixed usually rapidly, and this has limited mixing temperature, because mixing temperature should not surpass the activation temperature of solidifying agent.This trend has been facilitated the rubber bale packing and/or the application of bag that is mixed, and wherein adopts fusing or remollescent film at a lower temperature, helps film to disperse rapidly in rubber/additive agent mixture like this.The bag that is mixed can be used for the various additives of splendid attire, comprising, but be not limited to: various solidifying agent, as the sulphur and the secondary accelerator of advocating peace; Reinforcing filler and non-reinforcing filler; Softening agent is as oil and wax; Tackifier; Especially be used as the extraordinary chemical additive of coupling agent and heat, ozone, ultra-violet stabilizer; Deng.Carry the packed composition that is mixed that is used for adding hybrid technique if desired, and described processing requirement bag is easy to disperse, the mixing of other polymkeric substance and/or the operation that is mixed just are similar to elastomeric mixing so.
Relatively the direct adding mode of using " scoop " to carry out adopts the composition of weighing in advance that many advantages are arranged: 1) to improve the keeping sex work, 2) improve industrial hygiene, 3) the control loss, 4) accurately and as one man improve quality, 5) reduce labour cost.In fact, can before adding mixing tank a long time ago or just, carry out weighing/measurement.It can be the moulding-can-sealing step of simple relatively manual operations or meticulousr automatization.Under any circumstance, finally to measure packing or the packed amount of substance that is suitable for directly adding in the mixing tank.
Polyethylene film is with its usually lower cost, be used to be mixed into splitting and/or rubber bale packing by moulding, can and the ability of sealing and toughness.Be perfectly clear, obviously there are various limitations in polyethylene, has therefore limited its application.The higher melt temperature and the Vicat softening point of new LDPE (film grade) are limited in higher mixing temperature with it.For example have, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) multipolymer or other ethene-polar comonomers low melting point multipolymer is arranged than the ethylene copolymer of low melting point and Vicat softening point.Recently, the low of metallocene catalyst or new LDPE (film grade) (being generally the m-polyethylene) and composition thereof have very also been used and/or have discussed.Also used additive, as low melt wax to reduce these temperature.But along with to the continuous needs of low temperature more, these methods also run into various limitations.
Here and proposed among the US 5500260 and use polyethylene and/or EVA co-polymer membrane, for patent practice, incorporate it into the present invention as a reference as the bale packing and the relevant variety of issue of bag that is mixed.This patent especially proposes, and the Vicat softening point of film must be low to moderate (also open in US 5145747) below 82 ℃, and film could suitably disperse in elastomer blends like this.
Even need obtain at a lower temperature also suitably dispersive film now,, need a kind of its fusing point to be low to moderate or be lower than the film of 75 ℃ (and Vicat softening point be low to moderate or be lower than 55 ℃) especially for some rubber stock.Require Vicat softening point even lower day by day, wherein some industry requires Vicat softening point to be low to moderate 48 ℃ at present.
But, reduction along with the Vicat softening point and the fusing point of polyethylene based film, strength property decline generally can take place in the film based on polyethylene that has this fusing point/Vicat softening point concurrently or polypropylene miser, and tend to violent decline, produce with handle, transportation and store various practical problemss of not using film relevant with bag, and after can, use film and bag the time variety of issue appears.Vicat softening point is so low, become very soft, easily extend and be clamminess as 55 ℃ films, and anti-tearing property is low usually, and these all make it be difficult to process in the preparation manipulation of packing or bag, or are further used for downstream can, storage and use.In order to remedy these low strength performances, must carefully use film and/or bag with anti-tamper to a certain extent, perhaps must use thicker film to remedy this low strength.These two kinds of compensating modes commercial all be unpractical.Thickness is greatly not only uneconomical, and can add in rubber stock and more need the dispersive film.Use anti-hard caking agent and lubricant (being generally the sesame acid amides) to overcome viscosity, especially lubricant can make bag smooth, especially can be smooth to the viscosity that is enough to slow down the film that is generated by this low melting point or softening temperature polyethylene.This smooth film is difficult to use.Anti-hard caking agent is usually used in the film industry, and its consumption can be low to moderate 1000ppm (0.1% weight), and is high to 5% weight.Lime carbonate (CaCO 3) application in this film is known as filler.Although lime carbonate can improve some performance of low melting point and/or low-dimensional card softening temperature film, but still need further to improve.
In patent PCT/US94/09988, a kind of method that addresses these problems has been proposed, wherein use the polyethylene that can produce higher film toughness to mix or co-extrusion with these low melting points.Regrettably, these polyethylene that can produce higher film toughness generally have higher melt, therefore impair the overall dispersiveness of the film that comprises them.
Therefore, a kind of polyethylene film of commercial needs preferably has than low melting point with than low-dimensional card softening temperature, and its physicals (intensity) is enough to satisfy normal transport and processing and obvious disruptive polyethylene film not.
In embodiments of the invention, by using the appropriate filler reinforcing membrane, can eliminate low melting point polyethylene membrane lower intensity usually, and can obviously not influence (rising) its fusing point and/or Vicat softening point.The general filler that uses as talcum, more preferably has the talcum of high aspect ratio, most preferably surface-treated filler or its mixture.Other filler that also can use silicon-dioxide, carbon black and have reinforced effects.Use reinforcing filler that several beneficial effects are arranged.Filler or filler mixture can make the polyethylene matrix of film harder and tough and tensile, and this can be measured by the secant modulus of film, anti-thorn and anti-tearing property.By improving rigidity and toughness, can use the film of low thickness, this has not only reduced the amount of polyethylene that adds used elastomeric matrices, but also has reduced the amount that needs the dispersive membrane substance.Reinforcing filler also can improve poly rheological property, like this, by reducing energy expenditure and improving rate of extrusion, can make the film expressing technique more economically.The ideal effect of filler depends on the amount and the kind thereof of reinforcing filler, but ideal effect appears at filler content usually for based on the 5-50% weight of polyethylene/filler mixture gross weight, during preferred 10-30% weight.Filler is different from above-mentioned anti-hard caking agent, and its content all is higher than the content of above-mentioned anti-hard caking agent.
Pass through embodiment of the present invention, have been found that, the various shortcomings of above-mentioned relevant prior art can maximum degree of falling ground reduces or eliminates by using the film of being made by at least a filler enhancing ldpe resin, the Vicat softening point that wherein is used to make the resin of film may be up to 90 ℃, and its density is preferably up to 0.915g/cm 3In addition, this film (being in softening or molten state) is compatible with rubber compound usually.The melting temperature that can reach the film of this consistency generally also makes the mixing time of rubber when being mixed shorten, and has therefore improved productivity.The low melting point of film (being lower than 100 ℃) also can flow to the rubber mixture that is mixed even can guarantee film basically in the mixing period that shortens.Molten film helps to be distributed in the rubber stock.Because the temperature of specific mixture generally is the function of mixing time, but disperses within a short period of time than the film of low melting point and/or softening temperature.These films than low melting point and/or softening temperature can make rubber manufacturers shorten mixing time.
In one aspect of the invention, provide a kind of and strengthened the polyethylene film that ethene-alpha-olefin copolymer is made by filler, wherein this film has following performance:
A) strengthening polyvinyl resin density preceding and that film forming is preceding is 0.85-0.915g/cm 3
