Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the production of amorphous molded articles from amorphous polyethylene terephthalate plates and to the amorphous molded articles themselves.
  • the molded articles can optionally be colored transparent, transparent or opaque.
  • the shaped articles are distinguished by good mechanical properties.
  • thermoplastics that are processed into sheets are, for example, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • PC polycarbonate
  • PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
  • the amorphous thermoplastics can be easily reshaped using smoothing units or other shaping tools due to the steadily increasing viscosity as the temperature decreases.
  • amorphous thermoplastics After molding, amorphous thermoplastics then have sufficient stability, ie a high viscosity, in order to "stand on their own” in the calibration tool. But they are still soft enough to be shaped by the tool.
  • the melt viscosity and inherent stiffness of amorphous thermoplastics is so high in the calibration tool that the semi-finished product does not collapse before cooling in the calibration plant.
  • special processing aids such as processing stabilizers against decomposition and lubricants against excessive internal friction and thus uncontrollable heating are necessary for extrusion. Outer lubricants are required for this Prevent getting caught on walls and rollers
  • PMMA sheets also have extremely poor impact strength and shatter when broken or subjected to mechanical stress.
  • PMMA panels are highly flammable, so that they must not be used, for example, for indoor applications or in exhibition stand construction.
  • PMMA and PC sheets are also not cold-formable. During cold forming, PMMA sheets break into dangerous fragments. When cold-forming PC sheets, hairline cracks and whitening occur.
  • PMMA and PC boards absorb moisture.
  • the moisture content increases during production, during transport and during storage.
  • the performance of the extruded sheet is not impaired, but during forming (thermoforming and vacuum forming) bubbles and other surface defects and loss of properties occur due to the increased moisture.
  • these plates Before mechanical forming, these plates must be dried in a forced air oven at temperatures above 1 20 ° C, depending on the plate thickness, between 1 hour and 48 hours (see technical information Handbook GE Plastics Structured Products, Solid Lexan ® sheets), which is energy and time consuming.
