For produce the goods that can under hot environment, use or container, polyester should be crystalline state rather than separate the crystalloid attitude.Known thermoplasticity, energy crystalline polyester, polyethylene terephthalate (PET hereinafter referred to as) have desired character, as good dimensional stability is at high temperature arranged, the performance of chemical proof, anti-oil and anti-solvent and can see through microwave radiation and do not have and absorb or performances such as reflection.These performances make them become the polymkeric substance of manufacturing the high temperature food container.
The polyethylene terephthalate polymkeric substance is with known polymerization technique preparation by terephthalic acid or its lower alkyl esters (dimethyl terephthalate (DMT)) and 1.2-ethylidene glycol.Terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) be through esterification or transesterification, thereby obtain high molecular weight product with 1,2 ethylene glycol generation polycondensation then.Should have an appointment 0.65 to about 1.2 limiting viscosity of the polyester that uses among the present invention is preferably about 0.80 to about 1.05, (under 30 ℃, measuring in order to 60/40 volume ratio phenol/tetrachloroethane mixing solutions).Obtain high limiting viscosity and can use known method for solid phase polymerization.
In order to use polyethylene terephthalate in feasible Industrial processes (as thermoforming), major requirement can obtain desired degree of crystallinity in the very short cycle.The cycle of general requirement is about 5 to 7 seconds.Usually, the polyethylene terephthalate polymer crystallization speed of non-modified is too low can not reach the required time cycle.Low in order to overcome crystallization velocity, can add nucleator and form the crystalline number to increase.The nucleator of knowing most is that to have mean particle size be 2 to 10 several meters inorganics.Other known nucleator is the carbon containing thing, as: carbon black and graphite.Common nucleator can be talcum, gypsum, silica, lime carbonate, aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, metal smalls, glass powder, carbon black and graphite.The common feature of known nucleator listed earlier is to have part at 100 ℃ to 300 ℃ temperature range internal solid nucleator, makes polyester form crystalline texture.Though these specific nucleators still stable degree of crystallinity can occur after reducing or cancelling, use the specific nucleator of any of these to be good.
Second major ingredient of the present invention is polyolefine, and it must be with polyethylene terephthalate-existence.Polyolefine is to be produced by the chain alkene monomer that 2 to 6 carbon atoms are arranged as used herein.Resulting polymers is the repeating unit of used monomeric unit.These repeating units are different with monomer, and they no longer contain carbon-to-carbon double bond.This base polymer comprises new LDPE (film grade), high density polyethylene(HDPE), LLDPE, polypropylene, polyisobutylene, polybutene, polypenthylene, polymethylpentene.Polyolefine content should reach 0.5~15%(weight of polymkeric substance total amount).Be preferably 1~5%(weight).2~4%(weight preferably).A class polyolefine is a polyethylene preferably, LLDPE (LLDPE) preferably, as: the commodity DOWLEX2045 of Dow Chemical Company and 2035 that sells on the market.Compare with unmodified polyethylene terephthalate, all polyolefine make the shock strength of finished product that improvement be arranged and improved release property in the thermoforming processes.Polyethylene and polypropylene have very wide operating temperature range, faster crystallization velocity and lower crystallization onset temperature.The cost that these improvement cause that the short crystallizing cycle time is arranged, per minute can be produced more parts and fabricated product is lower.
Found to use crystallization velocity that the polyolefins of PET has at least with contain polyolefine and a kind of other PET composition crystallization velocity of nucleator (for example at United States Patent (USP) 3,960, described in 807) is equally fast.
Though known can being added to thermo-stabilizer or oxidation inhibitor in the polyethylene terephthalate.Then, the protection problem of PET/ polyolefine batch mixing becomes very difficult under 200 ℃ of about environment of 1 hour.Obviously, must wish that it reduces stablizer or antioxygen dosage exists when will be with Food Contact with the goods of PET/ polyolefin blend material preparation.Not found before the preparation of PET/ polyolefin blend material with expecting, directly in the polyolefine component, add quite a spot of oxidation inhibitor or stablizer, can make PET/ polyolefin blend material be subjected to best protection.Guaranteed time routine character (1) limiting viscosity small loss very in the course of processing and thermal ageing process thereafter in this method that adds thermo-stabilizer before PET and the polyolefin blend; (2) expansion of fingerprint or variable color mottling face has been got rid of in the variable color (2) of getting rid of blend composition in high temperature exposure during high temperature ageing.Thermo-stabilizer is the compound that oxidation inhibitor character is arranged as used herein, wherein the most important thing is to prevent oxidation.The net heat stablizer that uses in the invention process must can be protected thermoforming, heat setting type polyester article, United States Patent (USP) 3,987 during high temperature exposure; 004, United States Patent (USP) 3,904, and 578 and United States Patent (USP) 3; 644,482 have all delivered the example of many thermo-stabilizers of knowing.Below these compounds are representatives of the thermo-stabilizer that uses in the invention process: the alkyl-substituted phenols class, bisphenols, the bisphenols of replacement, thiobis phenols, Polyphenols, thiobis esters of acrylic acid, aromatic amine, organic phosphorous acid salt and poly-phosphorous acid salt.Test shows that the main aromatic amine with extreme heat stability comprises: uncle's polyamine class, diarylamines, two diarylamines, alkyl diarylamines, ketone-diarylamines condensation product, aldimine condensation product and aldehyde amines.It is abominable that the heat setting type goods of thinking thermoforming in the invention process are exposed to nearly 200 ℃ of conditions that surpass 30 minutes.This abominable high temperature is used down and is not wished to have any contamination that is caused by thermo-stabilizer or fade, and best thermo-stabilizer is to use Polyphenols, and this Polyphenols is the compound with two above phenol ring structures.Used Polyphenols comprises (but being not limited only to this): methane and 1,3 four (methylene radical 3-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-acrinyl)-propionic esters), 5-trimethylammonium-2,4,6-three (3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) benzene.The polyphenol of back is best.The more favourable add-on of thermo-stabilizer is PET/ polyolefine/stabiliser composition total amount 2%(weight) below, and be preferably weight at 0.5%() below.Preferably in 0.005% to 0.03%(weight) between.
Oxidation inhibitor directly is added in the polyolefine component of polymer blends by melt blending.Therefore can understand and contain great percent by weight oxidation inhibitor (than PET and the last ratio of polyethylene) in the polyolefine component; the actual usage quantity of oxidation inhibitor depends on the degree of required protection, abominable degree that selected stablizer characteristic heat exposes and the dissolution degree in polyolefine.When used food trays is when producing with the inventive method, must consider so, to controlling, generally control oxidation inhibitor and can join the neutralization of each component and add upper limit amount in the blend composition of polymkeric substance to the end with the contacted relevant material of food.
The production method of polyolefin modified polyethylene terephthalate sheet stock may further comprise the steps (1) suitable thermo-stabilizer with by have 1~4 carbon atom once the polyolefine produced of alkene carry out melt blending to form a kind of stable polyolefine.(2) in dry air or nitrogen atmosphere, be heated to more than its second-order transition temperature and remain under such condition that water content is low the hydrolytic deterioration effect to occur to unlikely in step in succession up to making the polyethylene terephthalate with limiting viscosity 0.65 to 1.2.(3) stable polyolefine and exsiccant polyethylene terephthalate resin are so that suitable ratio-with being transported in the extrusion machine, two component melt blendings form a kind of even melt blending material in extrusion machine.(4) make sheet stock with even melt blending material.(5) the quenching sheet stock is essentially unbodied method material with formation.
The melt blending of thermo-stabilizer can be finished to being equipped with polyolefinic polyreaction latter stage, perhaps utilizes any common thermoplasticity to mix in the forcing machine and carries out, and oxidation inhibitor will be fully distributed in is melted in the whole polyolefine of extruding anti-cylindrical shell.It is the necessary operation steps of limiting viscosity that keeps resin that the polyethylene terephthalate resin is heated in exsiccant nitrogen or air atmosphere.In all the other procedure of processings of present method moisture content being required is to want to have kept to be enough to high inherent viscosity.It is favourable that minimum actual water content can be arranged certainly.General water content requires to be lower than 0.02%.Should be lower than 0.005% for the optimum water content of high inherent viscosity PET.For the close utensil that makes made of the present invention has high shock resistance and dimensional stability, should carefully handle PET to keep its high inherent viscosity.The polyolefine that contains oxidation inhibitor mixes with exsiccant PET and can finish by well-known film expressing technique.Be heated at this polyolefine and PET more than their second-order transition temperature and the shear blend by melting charge forms the even blend composition of being made up of two kinds of different plastics.Can think that polyolefine is distributed among the whole PET but in separating mutually, preserve its characteristic.The moulding of sheet stock can be finished by the general thin moulding process.The sheet stock of using among the embodiment is produced with Prdex film forcing machine below, and the fusion sheet stock is squeezed on a cold casting roller, cools off the degree of crystallinity that generates to reduce then immediately.Explanation is used for the extrusion condition of the amorphous sheet material of manufacturer's instructions embodiment pallet in the table I.

The thin-walled pallet of being made sheet material heat production in next life typing by stable polyolefine/PET can utilize all known thermoforming process, comprises vacuum pressed, air pressurized, the pressurization of mechanical formpiston or matched-mold forming etc.Mould should be preheating to enough temperature to obtain desirable degree of crystallinity.Suitable die temperature select to depend on thermal forming device type, want pressing structure and wall thickness and other factor.Practical die temperature scope is 150~215 ℃, and scope is 170~190 ℃ preferably.
Heat setting type is to describe the polyester article of making partial crystallization and not having significantly orientation existence, the term of thermal process, in the invention process, heat setting type closely contacts with the heated die surface by film or sheet stock and reaches, it keeps one section time enough to obtain certain degree of crystallinity, makes the product of making that satisfied physicals is arranged under this degree of crystallinity.The degree of crystallinity of known hope is about 10% to about 35%.For the container in the high temperature food applications, for satisfying the requirement of dimensional stability in the demoulding and baking oven exposure, goods degree of crystallinity must be greater than 15%.
The heat setting type parts can take out from die cavity with known demoulding means.A kind of method is exactly the vacuum of being set up between compressed-air actuated destruction mould and made sheet stock by importing.In case the heat setting type parts take out, will be trimmed the rim charge part to obtain pallet from mould.Owing in most of industrial hot forming tools many die cavitys are arranged all, so that can produce many pallets, therefore, stay planar sheet stock base-material beyond the pallet mouth with a slice sheet stock, generally always stay 10~60% original sheet base-material.For making thermoforming operation economical rationality then must utilize these base-materials once more.Using repeatedly of these base-materials means the heat affecting process (hcat history) that exists in the sheet stock clearly.Sheet stock when 40% is when utilizing again, and polyolefine/PET blend composition of estimating considerable part will stand full cycle step 5 time.This multiple step comprises: (1) grinds; (2) in dry atmosphere, heat; (3) put in the system and unworn raw materials melt blend; (4) make sheet stock; (5) quenching; (6) heating once more before entering hot forming tool; (7) in thermoforming machine, stretch and heat setting type; (8) cool off these parts then; (9) demoulding.Repeat all these step 5 time, therefore, the time ratio that resin is under the high-temperature of sheet stock preparation and thermoforming is much longer when prepare the first time.So abominable high temperature exposure is disadvantageous for the limiting viscosity of PET and the stability of polyolefine component, and recognizes just that until the present invention the guard method of PET polyolefin blend material is very harsh, and particularly work in-process utilizes material to reach again at about 40% o'clock.Among the embodiment, the independent use of 1.04 limiting viscosity poly terephthalic acid ethyl esters also can be used (LLDPE has bought from Dow Chemical Company, and trade mark is DowLex 2045.) with LLDPE (LLDPE) is common below.Have the PET of LLDPE to be dried and extrude according to the condition of table I, then height being made in the thermoforming on Comet Labmaster thermoforming machine of the sheet stock of 0.76 mm thick is 2.5 centimetres, the pallet of 13 cm x, 13 centimeter square.All percentage ratios are represented with the percentage ratio of the gross weight of total composition weight polymeric sheet material or pallet.
Unsettled food trays
Embodiment 1-2
Polyethylene terephthalate sheet stock with 1.04 limiting viscosities is made pallet.Measure limiting viscosity after the pallet thermoforming is finished, these pallets wore out 1 hour under 200 ℃ in circulated air oven then.Test primary characteristic viscosity again.The results are shown in table 2.What embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 used is the 97%PET/3%LLDPE sheet stock that does not add oxidation inhibitor.Obviously see independent PET or PET and polyolefine (for example LLDPE) blend composition from the result of table II, when not adding oxidation inhibitor or stabiliser system and protect, the bigger decline during high temperature ageing of its limiting viscosity.The loss of limiting viscosity is to be unallowed fully in food trays is used, and (as embodiment 3) do not have oxidation inhibitor goods (comprising United States Patent (USP) 4,463, the technology of 121 inventions) infeasible at all.
Comparing result:
Embodiment 3-7:
All embodiment are prepared by the PET/LLDPE sheet stock in this group embodiment, sheet stock contains the best polyphenol antioxidant of various ratios, particularly 1,3,5-trimethylammonium-2,4,6-three (3, the 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyl benzyl) benzene, (buy from Ethel company, trade mark is Ethauox330).The percentage ratio of oxidation inhibitor is the oxidation inhibitor percentage composition that calculates with whole sheet stock composition total weight in the blend composition shown in the table II is formed.The purpose of this serial experiment is to estimate 200 ℃ of following thermal ageings following three Effect on Performance, and these three performances are important for the pallet that uses in microwave and general stove.These performances are: (1) fingerprint: a kind of like this phenomenon represented in this term, promptly has irregular significantly on aged pallet sample and be to fade large stretch ofly.This tray surface that typically appearing at catches touched that fades.In the aging effect hurdle, fingerprint " has " with scattered mottling and " nothing " represented in the table II.Clearly, if record is " having ", there is fingerprint to occur after expression is aging.If record is " nothing ", then pallet has kept its original uniform appearance.(2) color: colour terminology shows that 200 ℃ are worn out after 1 hour down, and original color of pallet is constant or has become.The phenomenon of fading is meant the color even variation of pallet.If record is " constant " under listed color, show that then aging back color does not change.If record is " fading ", show that then the result of thermal ageing makes color that recognizable fading be arranged.(3) limiting viscosity: when PET is in high temperature following time, limiting viscosity trends towards reducing.Measured initial intrinsic viscosity and compared with the limiting viscosity of being surveyed after following 1 hour at 200 ℃.Variable factor also comprises the ratio of oxidation inhibitor in embodiment 3-7, adds the mode of the component and the adding oxidation inhibitor of oxidation inhibitor.
Embodiment 3
In embodiment 3, oxidation inhibitor 0.1% is added to and dissolves mutually during produce the polyethylene terephthalate polymkeric substance, the limiting viscosity that remains unchanged that the result is satisfied, but the pet polymer that higher relatively antioxidant content can cause being used for blend composition in PET fades.Generally fade is to become Huang to brown by primary PET resin creamy white.Maintenance all can cause all fading under the long term high temperature during high temperature in PET produces becomes high inherent viscosity (1.04) with resin solidification by inference.This fading is being very deleterious as the meal tray time spent.In addition, fingerprint to occur also be not satisfied to aging back sample.
Embodiment 4
Example 4 usefulness and example 3 the same polymeric components are carried out blend but are wherein added 0.19% oxidation inhibitor.Oxidation inhibitor be in the PET that is added in the reactor and the LLDPE masterbatch in.Under oxidation inhibitor adding method one hurdle, indicate it is " masterbatch ", show that then the PET/LLDPE with 77/23 weight phenol ratio carries out the masterbatch that the machine blend has bullet to form especially.
Then the masterbatch of this PET and LLDPE with 13~87%(weight) the PET production of resins of ratio go out final LLDPE be 3% and PET be 97% blend composition.This master batch method makes the deployment conditions of polyolefine in PET be improved, especially when the funnel on the film forcing machine and when having accurate scale to be lower than 3% situation with control resin percentage ratio.Fruiting characteristic viscosity remains unchanged and does not have obvious fingerprint, but because higher antioxidant content is arranged, fading of pallet is tangible.Oxidation inhibitor trends towards flavescence significantly when very high-content oxidation inhibitor joins in the PET/ polyolefin blend material.
Example 5-7
Utilize the film sheet stock of the oxidation inhibitor preparation of the PET/LLDPE of 97/3 weight phenol ratio and percentage.Use method of the present invention, with the PET blend before the time, first oxidation inhibitor joins in the LLDPE.Oxidation inhibitor is not added among the PET, in the table III, this addition is described as being directly in the oxidation inhibitor adding method hurdle and is added among the LLDPE.Use this method,, then molten resin is made required one and be shaped as (for example bullet, shot or other desired shape) by melting specific polyolefine again and the homogeneous phase blend joins a certain amount of oxidation inhibitor in the polyolefine.Blend mixes (Sterling transfcrmir) forcing machine with the Stirling conversion to be carried out, and the extruder barrel temperature maintenance is maintained at 175 ℃ in about 195 ℃ of die temperature, and screw speed is 84 rev/mins.Then, LLDPE enters the film forcing machine with the PET that does from narrow orifice (ttrroat entrance) and carries out blend.The film forcing machine is equably with the melt blending material of the synthetic homogeneous of PET and stable LLDPE blend.List the aging resistance of stablizing the pallet that blend composition makes with polyolefine in the II at table.The result shows at 200 ℃ and down promptly uses extremely low antioxidant content after aging 1 hour that its limiting viscosity color constant and pallet is also constant; Example 5 0.09%(weight) oxidation inhibitor, showing has tangible fingerprint; And the antioxidant content of example 6 usefulness is higher a little, and the result shows the vestige that does not almost have fingerprint.Example 7 is used 0.24%(weight) oxidation inhibitor, there is not tangible fingerprint yet.Obviously different with example 3, used in the example 3 almost and eliminated fingerprint than this big 8 times oxidation inhibitor.And resin also presents bad yellow after aging.
