Definitions

  • the coating of metal pipes with polyethylene powder is known, the z. B. is applied by Aufriesetn, spin coating or starting on the preheated tube to 300 to 360 ° C.
  • the types of polyethylene used in this process have melt indexes (190 ° C / 2.16 kg) of 1.2 to 1.7 g / 1 min.
  • the melt index must be higher than in the first-mentioned process because easier melting is essential for coating with powder in order to anchor the applied particles on the surface.
  • the coating time for powder is generally about 5 minutes.
  • this method has the disadvantage that, although high preheating temperatures are used, adequate corrosion protection due to the application of only one layer is often not achieved.
  • Another publication describes a composite pipe made of a polyethylene powder layer welded onto a steel pipe and a polyethylene layer welded to it, which, for. B. in the form of a polyethylene film emerging from an extruder onto the hot sintered polyethylene powder layer.
  • the steel tube is z. B. preheated to 150 ° C. At this temperature, however, it is not possible to produce a smooth, coherent layer in a desired required minimum layer thickness of 1.5 to 4 mm.
  • a polyethylene layer is applied to a steel pipe, firstly a 0.05 mm thick first layer of an adhesion promoter at a tube temperature about 100 ° C. above the solidification temperature of the adhesion promoter and then the second layer of the adhesion promoter at 20 to Pipe temperature 50 ° C above the solidification temperature, e.g. B. at 140 ° C, is applied.
  • the adhesion promoter of the first layer can be applied in powder form or by wrapping it with a film.
  • the second layer can be applied by pre-extrusion in the form of a double tube or a double wrapping film.
  • the temperature of 140 ° C. is not sufficient for the purposes desired according to the present invention, that is to say for the required minimum layer thickness.
  • Another document also discloses coating a steel tube surface with a polyethylene having a higher melt index, e.g. 1 to 1.5 g / 10 min (ASTM-D 1238-53T) and with a lower melt index polyethylene, e.g. B. 0.2 to 0.5 g / 10 min, the second layer being applied to the first coating.
  • a polyethylene having a higher melt index e.g. 1 to 1.5 g / 10 min (ASTM-D 1238-53T) and with a lower melt index polyethylene, e.g. B. 0.2 to 0.5 g / 10 min
  • Polyethylene powder is used to form both layers. If two layers are applied in the form of powder on top of one another, the surface sometimes leaves something to be desired in terms of their homogeneity and smoothness.
  • the subject of the invention is the method defined in claim 1.
  • a further possible embodiment of the invention provides according to claims 3 to 5 that first of all a polyethylene powder with a melt index of 1.2 to 1.7 g / 10 min or a strip of polyethylene emerging directly from an extruder with a melt index of at most 1 , 7 g / 10 min (190 ° C / 2.16 kg) on a metal tube, which in the case of powder coating has a temperature of at least 300 ° C and in the case of the coating from the extruder a maximum of 250 ° C, then the coating is allowed to cool to a temperature of about 110 to 170, preferably 110 to 150 ° C and then in a third stage a self-supporting, light-stabilized, light-colored polyethylene film with a melt index of 0.4 to 1.1 g / 10 min at this temperature.
  • compounds of the benzotriazole type are suitable as light stabilizers for the light-colored polyethylene film.
  • a layer thickness of 1.5 to 4 mm is generally required for adequate corrosion protection. In some cases, the layer thickness can also be more than 4 mm. However, the layer thickness must be at least 1.5 mm, because otherwise there is an excessive cathodic protective current requirement.
  • the process according to the invention has the advantage that, in general, compared to known processes, it surprisingly results in energy savings and nevertheless a considerably higher working speed with at least equally good production properties.
  • the combination of powder application coating with the tape film coating - in this order mentioned - has succeeded in reducing the energy consumption through targeted temperature control, but at the same time improving the quality of the coating because any pores that occur from the powder coating the film cover is closed by welding.
  • the light-colored cover layer provides good protection for the pipes against excessive heating when stored outdoors for long periods under the influence of heat, for example due to sunshine or by laying in strongly heated floor layers.
  • the coating of the extruder is also very simple and time-saving without additional equipment.
  • the strip emerging from the extruder advantageously has a melt index of at least 0.4 g / 10 min.
  • the polyethylene in the powder coating expediently has a particle size of 1 to 600 ⁇ m, preferably 100 to 400 ⁇ m.
  • the self-supporting polyethylene film is advantageously in the form of a polyethylene tape, for. B. made of polyethylene with a melt index of 0.1 to 1.2 g / 10 min, applied. It can be applied to a rotating tube. This has the advantage that the tape can be wound automatically. The bandwidth can be varied as desired. It is z. B. at least 20 mm, expediently 10 to 1500 mm. A range of up to about 1 m is generally used.
  • the layer thickness of the tapes is usually 100 to 400 microns, preferably 100 to 200 microns.
  • the light colored bands are preferably white. However, another color can also be selected as desired, e.g. B. the warning color yellow, but also light orange, light blue, light green or the like. If necessary, the light-colored tapes can also be used to identify the pipes.
  • the speed of the coating can vary within wide limits. It depends on the desired layer thickness, the thickness of the tube wall, the length and the diameter of the tube, the outer tube diameter being 50 to 2000 mm, for example.
  • z. B about 15 to 45, usually about 30 minutes to cool to 60 ° C.
  • the coating of a pipe with a diameter of 400 mm and a layer thickness of 1.5 mm (this is the minimum thickness for adequate corrosion protection) generally requires about 8 to 20, usually about 15 minutes for a 12 m long coating.
  • an additional resin in the form of a polymer, e.g. B. polyvinyl acetate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid and / or acrylic ester copolymer, optionally with other comonomers, or other polymers, advantageously in a proportion of 5 to 15, preferably 5 to 10 wt .-%, based on the polyethylene powder.
  • a polymer e.g. B. polyvinyl acetate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid and / or acrylic ester copolymer, optionally with other comonomers, or other polymers, advantageously in a proportion of 5 to 15, preferably 5 to 10 wt .-%, based on the polyethylene powder.
  • this coating can be carried out by the usual coating methods, by spraying, but preferably by powder coating.
  • the same additional resins can also be contained in the polyethylene tape in a proportion of 2 to 5%
  • the tubes coated by the method according to the invention are used in a variety of ways. Because of their surface protection, they are especially for laid pipes, e.g. B. in pipelines for the extraction of petroleum, but also of other gaseous, liquid or highly viscous substances, for example natural gas, water, sewage sludge, concrete, waste water, slurries or the like.
  • Example 2 The same tube as in Example 1 is used, but with a preheating temperature of 310 ° C.
  • the tube is coated with polyethylene powder with a melt index of 1.2 to 1.7 g / 10 min with a layer thickness of 2 mm. After 10 minutes the coating melted smoothly and reached a temperature of 180 ° C. The cooling time to 60 ° C simply by leaving it lying there is 50 minutes.
  • Example 2 The same tube as in Example 2 is used, but with a preheating temperature of 360 ° C.
  • the tube is covered at this temperature with polyethylene powder having a melt index from 1.2 to 1.7 1 1/2 minutes with a layer thickness of 2 mm.
  • the coating melted in the course of 4 minutes and at the same time cooled to 310 ° C. However, reheating is still required for smooth melting. Therefore, after these 4 minutes, the pipe is reheated for one minute. The coating is smooth after this additional minute.
  • the cooling time to 60 ° C from the start of the powder coating and without additional cooling is 42 minutes.
