Ihre Wärmeleitfähigkeit ist aber für manche An wendungszwecke noch zu hoch.Expanded polypropylene (EPP) particles are used on an industrial scale Scale used for the production of foam molded parts. These are mainly used as an elastic, shockproof packaging material materials used, which also have thermal insulation properties have. However, their thermal conductivity is for some people applications still too high.
Nach dem Stand der Technik können Polyolefin-Schaumpartikel mit niedriger Wärmeleitfähigkeit hergestellt werden, indem Infrarot strahlung reflektierende Metallpigmente wie Aluminiumpulver ein gesetzt werden (DE-OS 195 05 266). Nachteilig an dieser Methode sind der hohe Preis und die eingeschränkte Verfügbarkeit der be nötigten Pigmente.According to the prior art, polyolefin foam particles can also be used low thermal conductivity can be made by infrared radiation reflecting metal pigments such as aluminum powder be set (DE-OS 195 05 266). A disadvantage of this method are the high price and the limited availability of the be necessary pigments.
Der Erfindung lag die Aufgabe zugrunde, EPP-Partikel bereitzu stellen, die sich zu Schaumstoff-Formteilen mit verringerter Wär meleitfähigkeit verarbeiten lassen.The object of the invention was to prepare EPP particles make the foam moldings with reduced heat Have conductivity processed.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch EPP-Partikel, die 0,1 bis 10, vorzugsweise 2 bis 8 Gew.-% Graphitpartikel in homogener Ver teilung enthalten.This problem is solved by EPP particles that are 0.1 to 10, preferably 2 to 8% by weight of graphite particles in homogeneous ver division included.
Propylenpolymerisate im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung sind Homopolypropylen und Randomcopolymere des Propylens mit bis zu 15, vorzugsweise 0,5 bis 12 Gew.-% Ethylen und/oder einem C4-C10-α-Olefin, vorzugsweise ein Copolymer von Propylen mit 0,5 bis 6 Gew.-% Ethylen oder Buten-1 oder ein Terpolymer aus Propylen, 0,5 bis 6 Gew.-% Ethylen und 0,5 bis 6 Gew.-% Buten-1.For the purposes of the present invention, propylene polymers are homopolypropylene and random copolymers of propylene with up to 15, preferably 0.5 to 12,% by weight of ethylene and / or a C 4 -C 10 -α-olefin, preferably a copolymer of propylene with 0, 5 to 6% by weight of ethylene or butene-1 or a terpolymer of propylene, 0.5 to 6% by weight of ethylene and 0.5 to 6% by weight of butene-1.
Die Propylenpolymerisate werden nach üblichen Verfahren mit Zieg ler-Natta-Katalysatoren hergestellt und fallen dabei im allgemei nen als lineare Polymere an. Für das unten beschriebene Extru sionschaumverfahren sind auch verzweigte Propylenpolymerisate, z. B. nach EP-A 588 321 geeignet. Auch mit Metallocen-Katalysato ren hergestellte Propylenpolymerisate nach EP-A 611 795 können mit Vorteil eingesetzt werden. Diese Propylenpolymerisate werden nach üblichen Verfahren in der Schmelze, vorzugsweise auf einem Extruder mit dem Graphitpartikeln vermischt. Diese weisen vor zugsweise eine Teilchengröße von 0,1 bis 100 µm, insbesondere von 1 bis 20 µm auf.The propylene polymers are made using goat ler-Natta catalysts are manufactured and generally fall NEN as linear polymers. For the extru described below ionic foam processes are also branched propylene polymers, e.g. B. according to EP-A 588 321 suitable. Also with metallocene catalyst Ren produced propylene polymers according to EP-A 611 795 can can be used with advantage. These propylene polymers are by conventional melt processes, preferably on a Extruder mixed with the graphite particles. These show preferably a particle size of 0.1 to 100 microns, in particular 1 to 20 µm.
Die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen EPP-Partikel erfolgt nach den an sich bekannten Imprägnier- bzw. Schaumextrusionsverfahren. Beim Imprägnierverfahren wird granuliertes, Graphitpartikel ent haltendes Polypropylen zusammen mit 1 bis 40, vorzugsweise 5 bis 30 Gew.-% eines flüchtigen Treibmittels in Wasser suspendiert. Als Treibmittel kommen Kohlenwasserstoffe, wie z. B. Butan, Pentan, Cyclopentan, Cyclohexan, Ethanol, ferner Gase wie Kohlen dioxid, Edelgas, Luft oder Stickstoff in Frage, sowie Gemische dieser Treibmittel. Die Imprägnierung wird vorzugsweise in einem Rührreaktor bei Temperaturen von 100 bis 160°C unter einem Druck von 10 bis 100 bar bei Verweilzeiten zwischen 30 und 180 min durchgeführt. Anschließend wird entspannt, wobei die Schaum partikel entstehen.The EPP particles according to the invention are produced after the impregnation or foam extrusion processes known per se. The impregnation process removes granulated graphite particles holding polypropylene together with 1 to 40, preferably 5 to 30% by weight of a volatile blowing agent suspended in water. As blowing agents come hydrocarbons such. B. butane, Pentane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, ethanol, also gases such as coal dioxide, noble gas, air or nitrogen in question, as well as mixtures this blowing agent. The impregnation is preferably in one Stirred reactor at temperatures from 100 to 160 ° C under one pressure from 10 to 100 bar with residence times between 30 and 180 min carried out. It is then relaxed, the foam particles arise.
Beim Extrusionsverfahren wird in einem Extruder das Propylenpoly merisat, zusammen mit den Graphitpartikeln und 2 bis 30 Gew.-% Treibmittel bei 120 bis 240°C aufgeschmolzen, wobei dieses gelöst wird. Nach einer Verweilzeit von 0,5 bis 90 min wird das treib mittelhaltige Polymere unter Aufschäumen durch eine Düse ausge preßt und granuliert.In the extrusion process, the propylene poly is in an extruder merisat, together with the graphite particles and 2 to 30% by weight Melting agent melted at 120 to 240 ° C, this being dissolved becomes. After a dwell time of 0.5 to 90 minutes, this will go medium-containing polymers foamed out through a nozzle presses and granulates.
Außer den Graphitpartikeln können dem Propylenpolymerisat übliche Zusatzstoffe, wie Farbstoffe, Pigmente, Keimbildner, Stabilisato ren, Flammschutzmittel, Gleitmittel und Antistatika zugesetzt werden.In addition to the graphite particles, the propylene polymer can be customary Additives such as dyes, pigments, nucleating agents, stabilizers , flame retardants, lubricants and antistatic agents become.
