Definitions

• This invention relates to a method for sealing the edge of plate material as well as edge-sealed plate materials.
• the method according to the invention for edge- sealing of a plate material comprises that the edge surfaces of said material are provided with a circum ⁇ ferential layer of a curable resin composition, said resin composition being of a nature which shrinks during curing, and that said layer of resin compo- . sition is cured to form a peripheral, coherent and fixed edge moulding.
• edge-seal Materials which it is of particular interest to edge-seal according to the invention are plate mate- ' rials comprising an ordinarily non-moisture-resistant core or base material, f.ex. chipboard, the surfaces of which have been made moisture-resistant, f.ex. by coverage with a moisture-resistant, laminate.
• f.ex. chipboard an ordinarily non-moisture-resistant core or base material
• the surfaces of which have been made moisture-resistant, f.ex. by coverage with a moisture-resistant, laminate To en ⁇ sure that such plates having moisture-resistant surf- aces may be useful under moist conditions, it is of decisive importance that also the edge can be made moisture-resistant.
• This invention provides a method for sealing the edge of plate materials, whereby there is obtained an edge-sealing having great resistance to moisture and changing weather conditions.
• Plates having moisture and weather-resistant surfaces and having the edges sealed according to the invention have wide utility, such as for different types of structural and building materials with parti ⁇ cular requirements to moisture-resistance, such as building facings, shower rooms and the like, equipment for boats and ships, furniture for outdoor use, etc.
• plates being edge-sealed according to the invention may also be used for purposes requiring no particular moisture-resistance, but where use of the edge-sealed plates is desirable , f.ex. for aesthe- tical reasons.
• the resin composition used for the edge-sealing is of a nature which shrinks during curing. It has been found appropriate to use a resin composition with a shrinkage of preferably not less than 2%, preferably 2 to 10%, and most preferred 5 to 8%.
• the plate material t the edge of which is to be sealed is provided on the edge surface with a circumferential layer of the resin composition which, if desired, may contain a filling material and/or a reinforcing material.
• the sealing operation may take place for example by placing the plate material in a frame surrounding the edge, said frame serving as a mould for moulding the resin composition, then the mould is filled, pre ⁇ ferably under pressure, with a flowable resin compo ⁇ sition which is then cured, preferably under addition of heat so as to form a peripheral, coherent and fixed edge moulding around the edge of the plate material.
• the edge-sealed plate can hereafter be withdrawn from the mould, part of the shrinkage possibly taking place by post-curing outside the mould. Although it is pre-, ferred to fill the mould under pressure, the filling operation may also take place by pouring or by means of vacuum.
• Examples of plate materials which may be edge- sealed according to the invention are: chipboard, straw- board, flaxboard, boards of different types of fibres such as mineral wool fibres, plastic foam boards, etc.
• the top and bottom surfaces of the plate materi ⁇ als may be made moisture-resistant for example by application, such as by glueing or welding, of moist ⁇ ure-resistant laminates, such as malamine laminate, plastic sheet, such as malamine sheet, possibly with decorative paper, application of lacquer film, f.ex. by stopping, filling or spraying or any other method known to those skilled in the art.
• the edge moulding of the cured resin material may have numerous different profiles.
• Figure 1 is a sectional view showing the edge portion of a plate element comprising a core material, such as for example chipboard, which on the two oppo ⁇ site surfaces is covered with moisture-resistant lami ⁇ nate sheets.
• the core material terminates a certain distance from the edges of the laminate sheets, and the resin moulding is moulded in the space defined by the core material and the laminate sheets.
• Figure 2 shows the above plate, partly from the top, and partly in sectional view.
• the space de ⁇ fined by the core material and the laminate sheets may for example be provided by removing the corresponding part of the core material by milling.
• a core material comprising a plast ⁇ ic foam material, f.ex. rigid polyurethane foam, may be moulded between possibly primed laminate sheets in a press, whereby strong solid steel profiles are in- serted between the marginal sections of the laminate sheets to a certain distance, for example 5 mm, from the border of the laminates.
• a certain distance for example 5 mm
• the desired gap or space which may then be sealed according to the invention. Nailing and screwing points may, if desired, be strengthened by inserting blocks of wood or similar bodies prior to the foaming operation.
• Resins useful for the resin composition or mould ⁇ ing compound used according to the invention are in particular polyesters, but also other resins which shrink during curing may be used, such as for example cellulose acetate, epoxy resins, silicone rubbers, and acrylic resins.
• polyester types may be mentioned un- saturated polyesters based on isophthalic acid, ortho- phthalic acid, bis-phenol and vinyl esters.
• the curing of the polyester resin is initiated by adding an accelerator and a catalyst.
• accelerator may for example be used an organic cobalt compound, such as cobaltoctoate, or an amine compound such as-dimethyl aniline
• catalyst may for example be used methylethylketone peroxide or other peroxide compounds, such as benzoyl peroxide or tert.-butylperoxyethylhexanoate.
• Polyesters useful in the moulding compound which is used for edge-sealing according to the invention typically shrink 5 to 8% by curing, and typically they have an elongation at rupture of 2.5 to 6%.
• the amount and type of catalyst and accelerator is typically so selected that there is obtained a gel time of 1.5 to 8 minutes at 80 - 90°C and a potlife at room tempera-
• the moulding compound may be dyed, in case of a polyester resin for example with a co ⁇ loured gel coat polyester and, furthermore, there may be added light filtering agents and fire-proofing agents.
• edge-moulding and for example the laminate sheet, with which the plate material is cover- ed obtain the same light sensitivity.
• light filtering agents may for example be used "TINUVIN 320" or "TINUVIN P" which are added in an amount of about 0.02 to about 0.05% based on the poly ⁇ ester resin.
• fire-proofing agents may for example be used chlorparaffin and antimony trioxide, and polyester moulding compounds to which has been added 4% chlor ⁇ paraffin and 4% antimony trioxide may be character ⁇ ised as being self-extinguishing according to the standard of ASTM D 635-68.
• the primer may be a poly ⁇ ester resin of the same type as used in the moulding compound whereto has been added styrene, and the primer may conveniently consist of two parts of polyester and one part of styrene whereto there is added about 2% of a commercial 10% dimethylaniline product as accelera ⁇ tor and about 1% of a commercial 50% benzoyl peroxide product as catalyst.
• the priming is appropriately per ⁇ formed 1 to 3 hours before moulding of the resin compo ⁇ sition.
• OMPI. /,, IPO -v, In the edge moulding may, if desired, be cast a layer of decorative paper by applying this ' to the mould with primer prior to the moulding operation.
• Jotun Group which is an isophthalic acid polyester, is mixed with 2 parts coboltoctoate (1%) as accelerator. Next there is added 15 parts "NORPOL GI” (distributed by the Jotun Group) , which is a dyed gel coat based on isophthalic acid polyester, as well as 1.2 parts methylethyIketone peroxide (50%) as catalyst.
• the resin composition thus obtained has a volume shrinkage on curing (ASTM D-2566) of 7 to 8% and a gel time at 20°C of 17-23 minutes. _
• Example 1 is repeated, with the exception that dimethylaniline (10%) 'is substituted for the accelera ⁇ tor and benzoyl peroxide (50%) is substituted for the catalyst, and there is obtained a resin composition having a volume shrinkage on curing (ASTM D-2566) of 7 to 8% and a gel time at 20°C of 23 - 30 min.
