Abstract

PCT No. PCT/AT95/00113 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 26, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 26, 1996 PCT Filed Jun. 1, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/32771 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 7, 1995A continuous process is disclosed for producing a strip of decorated ski coating material from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. A 0.5 to 1.5 mm thick strip of ski coating material produced in a screw-type or piston-type extruding machine or by sintering followed by peeling and printed with thermodiffusion dyes continuously runs through a heating zone in which it is uniformly heated up to a temperature above 140 DEG C., so that the crystalline structure of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is partially decomposed and the thermodiffusion dye diffuses into the molten ski coating material without the need for an intermediate carrier. The ski coating material provided with the thermodiffusion dye then runs through a cooling zone in which it is uniformly cooled down to a temperature equal to or lower than ambient temperature, so that 25% to 60% of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene crystallizes and the thermodiffusion dye is fixed on the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene during cooling.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein kontinuierliches Verfahren zur Herstellung eines mit einem Dekor versehenen bandförmigen Skibelagsmaterials aus ultrahochmolekularem Polyethylen, wobei das Skibelagsmaterial durch Schneckenextrusion, Kolbenstrangpressen oder Sintern mit anschließendem Schälvorgang in einem Dickenbereich von 0,5 bis 1,5 mm hergestellt und anschließend mit Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffen bedruckt wird.The invention relates to a continuous process for Production of a band-shaped ski covering material with a decoration made of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, the Ski base material through screw extrusion, piston extrusion or sintering with subsequent peeling in a thickness range manufactured from 0.5 to 1.5 mm and then with Thermal diffusion dyes are printed.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Es ist bekannt, Skibauteile u.a. auch Skibelagsmaterialien aus Polyethylen nach dem Siebdruckverfahren mit einem Dekor zu versehen. Dabei wird die Siebdruckfarbe durch ein schabloniertes Gewebe, welches farbdurchlässige sowie farbundurchlässige Stellen je nach gewünschtem Dekor aufweist, auf das bandförmige Skibelagsmaterial aufgedrückt. Anschließend werden die überschüssigen Farbstoffanteile mit einer Rakel abgezogen.It is known that ski components, etc. also ski base materials Polyethylene after the screen printing process with a decor too Mistake. The screen printing ink is stenciled Fabric that has translucent and opaque areas depending on the desired decor, on the ribbon-shaped Ski covering material pressed on. Then the excess Dye portions with a doctor blade.

An einem nach dem Siebdruckverfahren mit einem Dekor versehenen Skibelag wird nun die Anforderung gestellt, daß die Siebdruckfarben auch auf der Rückseite des Belagsmaterials, welches der Schneeoberfläche und damit auch dem Betrachter zugewandt ist, gut sichtbar erscheinen, da an der bedruckten Seite die weitere Verklebung mit den übrigen Skibauteilen erfolgt. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß die Farbintensität des Dekors negativ durch das milchig-weiße Aussehen des Polyethylens beeinflußt wird, sodaß das Dekor für den Betrachter schlecht sichtbar ist.On a decor with a screen printing process Ski covering is now the requirement that the screen printing inks also on the back of the covering material, which the Snow surface and thus facing the viewer, appear well visible because the other side is printed Glued to the other ski components. It has however, showed that the color intensity of the decor is negatively affected by the milky-white appearance of the polyethylene is influenced, so that the decor is difficult for the viewer to see.

Aus der AT-PS 362 691 ist es bekannt, eine Skioberflächenschicht aus Kunststoff nach dem Transferdruckverfahren mit einem Dekor zu versehen. Dabei werden die Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffe auf einem Zwischenträger wie Papier aufgebracht und mit dem Kunststoff heiß verpreßt, wobei diese in die Gasphase oder Schmelze übergehen und in den Kunststoff eindringen. Dieses Verfahren wäre auch zur Dekorierung von Skibelägen denkbar.From AT-PS 362 691 it is known to have a ski surface layer made of plastic using the transfer printing process with a Decor. Thereby the thermal diffusion dyes applied on an intermediate support like paper and with the Plastic hot pressed, this in the gas phase or Pass over the melt and penetrate the plastic. This Processes would also be conceivable for decorating ski toppings.

Ferner ist aus der DE-OS 30 04 518 ein Verfahren zum Bedrucken von thermoplastischen Kunststoffen wie Skibelägen mit Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffen durch Transferdruck geoffenbart. Furthermore, DE-OS 30 04 518 describes a method for printing of thermoplastic materials such as ski coverings Thermal diffusion dyes revealed by transfer printing.

Dabei erfolgt die Übertragung der Transferdruckfarben von dem Druckträger auf die thermoplastische Folie durch "In-Anlage-Bringen" der Folie an den Druckträger innerhalb eines Zweistufenprozesses. Die Druckbildübertragung erfolgt gemäß Fig. 1 in einem Kalanderwalzenspalt, durch welchen die zu bedruckende Folie in Form einer Schmelzfahne geführt und mit dem Hilfsdruckträger 3 in Kontakt gebracht wird. Durch den aufgebrachten Druck und die erhöhte Temperatur im Kalanderwalzenspalt erfolgt die Übertragung des Druckmotives solange, bis der Hilfsdruckträger druckbilderschöpft ist.The transfer printing inks are transferred from the Print carrier on the thermoplastic film by "bringing it into contact" the film to the print medium within a Two-step process. The print image is transferred according to Fig. 1 in a calender nip through which the to be printed Guided foil in the form of a melting plume and with the Auxiliary printing medium 3 is brought into contact. By the applied pressure and the increased temperature in the calender nip the print motif is transferred until the auxiliary print carrier is exhausted.

Diese Verfahren sind jedoch insoferne aufwendig, da an den Zwischenträger, das heißt an die mit den Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffen bedruckten Papiere hohe Anforderungen wie hohe Dimensionsstabilität, gute Bedruckbarkeitseigenschaften sowie Oberflächeneigenschaften, welche das Eindringen der Druckfarbe weitgehend verhindern, sodaß eine hohe Ausbeute an Farbstoff auf den zu bedruckenden Kunststoff gewährleistet ist, gestellt werden. Ferner müssen die Zwischenträger in zusätzlichen Verfahrensschritten auf den zu bedruckenden Kunststoff wie den Skibelag aufgebracht und nach dem Bedrucken wieder abgelöst werden. Nach ihrer Verwendung müssen die Zwischenträger entsorgt werden, da sie in keinem weiteren Verfahrensschritt eingesetzt werden können.However, these processes are expensive because of the Intermediate carrier, that is to say those with the thermal diffusion dyes printed papers high requirements such as high Dimensional stability, good printability properties as well Surface properties that prevent the ink from penetrating largely prevent, so that a high yield of dye the plastic to be printed is guaranteed will. Furthermore, the intermediate carrier in additional Process steps on the plastic to be printed such as the Ski covering applied and detached again after printing will. After their use, the intermediate supports must be disposed of be used since they are not used in any further process step can be.

Aus der WO-A1 81/03462 ist ein Verfahren zum Bedrucken von thermoplastischen Kunststoffen wie beispielsweise Skibelagsmaterialien nach dem Thermodiffusionsdruckverfahren mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 vorbekannt, in welchem keinerlei Druckhilfsträger eingesetzt werden. Dabei wird der thermoplastische Kunststoff durch einen Kalanderwalzenspalt, welcher durch eine Farbträgerwalze und eine Gegenwalze ausgebildet ist, geführt, und in diesem durch Übertragung des Druckmotives von der Farbträgerwalze bedruckt. Anschließend passiert der bedruckte thermoplastische Kunststoff eine Tempereinrichtung, um eine gesteuerte Abnahme der Temperatur gewährleisten zu können. Dieses Verfahren ist nun hinsichtlich der Variation der Farbstoffzusammensetzung limitiert, da bei der Ausbildung von mehrfärbigen Dekoren eine relativ aufwendige Verfahrensführung durch Maßnahme mehrerer Farbwalzen notwendig wird.WO-A1 81/03462 describes a method for printing on thermoplastic materials such as ski base materials according to the thermal diffusion printing process with the features of the preamble of claim 1 previously known in which no auxiliary printing media are used. Doing so the thermoplastic through a calender nip, which by an ink roller and a counter roller is trained, performed, and in this by transferring the Print motifs printed by the ink roller. Subsequently the printed thermoplastic plastic passes one Tempering device to control the decrease in temperature to be able to guarantee. This procedure is now regarding the variation of the dye composition is limited, since the Training of multi-colored decors a relatively complex Process management necessary by measuring several ink rollers becomes.

Neben den Anforderungen an das Dekor sowie dessen Herstellung auf dem Skibelag muß dieser die notwendigen physikalischen Eigenschaften wie eine hohe Abriebfestigkeit sowie eine gute Wachsaufnahme aufweisen.In addition to the requirements for the decor and its manufacture on the ski base this must have the necessary physical Properties such as high abrasion resistance as well as good Have wax absorption.

Aus der WO-A1-93/05853 ist es bekannt, die Abriebfestigkeit des Skibelagsmaterials durch die Molmasse des Polyethylens zu bestimmen, sodaß zwangsläufig ultrahochmolekulares Polyethylen zum Einsatz kommt.From WO-A1-93 / 05853 it is known that the abrasion resistance of the Ski base material due to the molecular weight of the polyethylene determine, so that inevitably ultra high molecular weight polyethylene is used.

Ebenso wird gemäß der EP-A1-319435 ultrahochmolekulares Polyethylen eingesetzt, welches vor der Schmelzextrusion zusätzlich in einem Mischer vorbehandelt wird, sodaß das Gleitverhalten des endgefertigten Skibelags verbessert wird.Likewise, according to EP-A1-319435 ultra high molecular weight polyethylene used, which additionally before melt extrusion is pretreated in a mixer so that the sliding behavior of the finished ski base is improved.

Da nunmehr die Wachsaufnahme von der Dichte des UHWPE und damit vom kristallinen Anteil im ultrahochmolekularen Polyethylen abhängt, wird dieser durch gezielte Umkristallisation auf die größtmögliche Wachsaufnahme gemäß dem Verfahren der WO-A1-93/05853 eingestellt.Since now the wax absorption from the density of the UHWPE and thus depends on the crystalline content in the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, is this through targeted recrystallization on the maximum possible wax absorption according to the method of WO-A1-93 / 05853 set.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Skibelagsmaterial aus ultrahochmolekularem Polyethylen in einem leicht durchführbaren Verfahren mit einem farbintensiven Dekor zu versehen, wobei das mit dem Dekor versehene Skibelagsmaterial zusätzlich eine hohe Wachsaufnahme sowie Abriebfestigkeit aufweisen soll.The object of the invention is therefore to make a ski base material ultra high molecular weight polyethylene in an easy to carry out Process to provide a color-intensive decor, the with the decor provided ski covering material also a high Wax absorption and abrasion resistance should have.

Erfindungsgemäß wir ein kontinuierliches Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art vorgeschlagen, welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß das mit Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffen bedruckte, bandförmige Skibelagsmaterial kontinuierlich eine Heizzone durchläuft, in der es gleichmäßig auf eine Temperatur von mehr als 140° erhitzt wird, sodaß das Kristallgefüge des ultrahochmolekularen Polyethylens teilweise zerfällt und der Thermodiffusionsfarbstoff ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Zwischenträgers in das geschmolzene Skibelagsmaterial eindringt und daß das mit dem Thermodiffusionsfarbstoff versehene Skibelagsmaterial anschließend eine Kühlzone, in der es gleichmäßig auf eine Temperatur gleich oder niedriger als Raumtemperatur abgekühlt wird, durchläuft, sodaß während des Kühlens das ultrahochmolekulare Polyethylen in einen kristallinen Anteil von 25% bis 60% übergeführt und der Thermodiffusionsfarbstoff an dem ultrahochmolekularen Polyethylen fixiert wird.According to the invention we have a continuous process of the beginning proposed type, which is characterized in that that the band-shaped printed with thermal diffusion dyes Ski covering material continuously one Passes through the heating zone, in which it is even at a temperature is heated by more than 140 °, so that the crystal structure of the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene partially disintegrates and Thermal diffusion dye without the aid of an intermediate carrier penetrates into the melted ski base material and that the ski base material provided with the thermal diffusion dye then a cooling zone in which it is evenly at a temperature is cooled to or below room temperature, passes through, so that the ultra high molecular weight during cooling Polyethylene converted into a crystalline fraction of 25% to 60% and the thermal diffusion dye on the ultra high molecular weight Polyethylene is fixed.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung bestehen darin, daß das mit Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffen bedruckte, bandförmige Skibelagsmaterial ein nach einem Siebdruckverfahren, Flexodruckverfahren oder Tiefdruckverfahren bedrucktes Skibelagsmaterial ist.Further advantages of the invention are that with thermal diffusion dyes printed, band-shaped ski covering material one after a screen printing process, flexographic printing process or Rotogravure is printed ski base material.

Ferner ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das mit Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffen bedruckte, bandförmige Skibelagsmaterial in der Heizzone mittels Infrarotbestrahlung zwischen 10 und 25 sec, bevorzugt zwischen 13 und 20 sec, beheizt wird und danach in einer Kühlzone, welche zumindest zum Teil durch eine gekühlte Kalibriervorrichtung gebildet wird, auf eine Temperatur von 10 bis 20°C gekühlt wird und die Verweilzeit des mit Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffen bedruckten, bandförmigen Skibelagsmaterials in der Kühlzone 8 bis 30 sec, bevorzugt 10 bis 25 sec, beträgt.Furthermore, the method according to the invention is characterized in that that the band-shaped printed with thermal diffusion dyes Ski covering material in the heating zone by means of infrared radiation between 10 and 25 sec, preferably between 13 and 20 sec, is heated and then in a cooling zone, which at least is partly formed by a cooled calibration device, is cooled to a temperature of 10 to 20 ° C and the Residence time of the printed with thermal diffusion dyes tape-shaped ski covering material in the cooling zone 8 to 30 sec, preferably 10 to 25 sec.

Das gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren mit Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffen bedruckte hergestellte bandförmige Skibelagmaterial wird zur Herstellung von Alpinskiern, Langlaufskiern und Snowboards verwendet.That according to the inventive method with thermal diffusion dyes printed manufactured band-shaped ski covering material is used to manufacture alpine skis, cross-country skis and snowboards used.

Kurze Beschreibung der Zeichnung und einige Beispiele zur Ausführung der ErfindungBrief description of the drawing and some examples Implementation of the invention

Die Erfindung wird anhand einer Figur und von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention is based on a figure and exemplary embodiments explained in more detail.

Die Figur zeigt eine Skizze einer Anlage in Seitenansicht für die Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens bestehend aus einer Heizzone (1) und der Kühlzone mit den Kalibrierplatten (2,2').The figure shows a sketch of a plant in side view for the implementation of the method according to the invention consisting of a heating zone (1) and the cooling zone with the calibration plates (2,2 ').

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird anhand folgender allgemeiner Arbeitsvorschrift erläutert:The method according to the invention is more general on the basis of the following Working instructions explained:

Von einer Vorratsrolle 3 wird das mit Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffen versehene Skibelagsmaterial 4, das gegebenenfalls durch an sich bekannte Verfahren wie Schneckenextrusion, Kolbenstrangpressen oder Preßsintern hergestellt und anschließend nach dem Sieb- oder Flexo- oder Tiefdruckverfahren mit den Thermodiffusionsfarben bedruckt wurde, abgezogen, über die Umlenkrolle 5 umgelenkt und mit der Geschwindigkeit v [m/min] der Heizzone (1), die beispielsweise mit IR-Heizelementen ausgestattet sein kann, zugeführt. In der Heizzone mit der Länge l(H) schmilzt das ultrahochmolekulare Polyethylen bei einer Temperatur von über 140°C. Von der Verweilzeit des Skibelagsmaterials, die proportional zur Länge l(H) ist, hängt es nun ab, inwieweit das Kristallgefüge zerfällt. Von der Verweilzeit l(H) hängt es auch ab, inwieweit die Farbpigmente der Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffe sublimieren und/oder schmelzen und in der Folge in das geschmolzene Skibelagsmaterial diffundieren. Dieser Vorgang erfolgt ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Zwischenträgers für die Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffe wie es beispielsweise aus der AT-PS 362 691 vorbekannt ist. Anschließend passiert dieses geschmolzene Skibelagsmaterial die Kühlzone, die aus zwei Kalibrierplatten (2, 2') besteht. Diese haben die Aufgabe, dem geschmolzenen Skibelagsmaterial eine Form zu geben und diese gleichzeitig zu kühlen sowie die Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffe im Skibelagsmaterial zu fixieren. Während des Kühlens kristallisiert das ultrahochmolekulare Polyethylen aus; auch dieser Vorgang hängt von der Verweilzeit des Skibelagsmaterials ab, die proportional zur Länge der Kühlzone l(K) ist. Anschließend passiert das abgekühlte Skibelagsmaterial das Abzugsrollenpaar 6 und wird danach auf die Depotrolle 7 aufgerollt.From a supply roll 3 that is with thermal diffusion dyes provided ski covering material 4, which if necessary by methods known per se, such as screw extrusion, piston extrusion or press sintering and then after the screen or flexo or gravure process with the thermal diffusion inks printed, peeled off, over the guide roller 5 deflected and at the speed v [m / min] of the heating zone (1), which can be equipped with IR heating elements, for example can, fed. This melts in the heating zone with length l (H) ultra high molecular weight polyethylene at a temperature above 140 ° C. From the dwell time of the ski base material, which is proportional to length l (H), it now depends on the extent to which that Crystal structure disintegrates. It also depends on the dwell time l (H) to what extent the color pigments of the thermal diffusion dyes sublimate and / or melt and subsequently into the melted Diffuse ski base material. This is done without the use of an intermediate carrier for the thermal diffusion dyes as for example from AT-PS 362 691 is known. Then this melted ski base material passes the cooling zone consisting of two calibration plates (2, 2 ') consists. These have the task of the melted ski base material give a shape and cool it at the same time as well as the thermal diffusion dyes in the ski base material fix. The ultra-high molecular weight crystallizes during cooling Polyethylene from; this process also depends on the Dwell time of the ski covering material, which is proportional to the The length of the cooling zone is l (K). Then the cooled happens Ski covering material the puller roller pair 6 and then on the depot roll 7 rolled up.

Somit kann mit Hilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens einerseits der Kristallisationsgrad des ultrahochmolekularen Polyethylens in auf bekannte Art hergestellten Skibelagsmaterialien gesteuert werden, wodurch ein Skibelag mit optimaler Abriebfestigkeit und Wachsaufnahme sowie optimalem Gleitverhalten auf dem Schnee ermöglicht wird, und andererseits durch die Maßgabe der Thermodiffusionsfarbstoffe das Skibelagsmaterial mit einem farbintensiven Dekor versehen werden.Thus, on the one hand, with the aid of the method according to the invention the degree of crystallization of the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene controlled in ski covering materials produced in a known manner be, making a ski surface with optimal abrasion resistance and Wax absorption and optimal gliding behavior on the snow is made possible, and on the other hand by the requirement of thermal diffusion dyes the ski base material with a color-intensive Decor.
