Definitions
- the present invention relates to dry polymeric materials, especially to dry materials useful as barrier or adhesive materials in dry-application onto a surface, such as polymer film, aluminium foil or the like and especially onto a moving web.
- the invention particularly relates to dry-application of barrier polymers and/or lamination adherents onto a web.
- Barrier polymers are widely used in packaging materials to avoid or decrease the penetration of water vapour, fat, odours, microbes, etc. through packages. As very few materials stop the penetration of all these media, multilayer structures are often needed.
- the manufacture of barrier layers is usually performed by extrusion of thermoplastic materials, such as variations of polyethylene and polypropylene, but also by dispersion coating.
- the required polymers are molten and applied onto the web through a slit as a thin film.
- the hot film adheres to the web mechanically, or in some cases, by means of an adherent material earlier applied to the web.
- One major disadvantage of this method is that the polymer material has to be heated until it is completely molten and then it is forced through the slit. Both the heat and the mechanical force (shear stress) lead to the breakdown of the polymer structure, causing decrease in mechanical properties, and sometimes decomposition.
- solvents or other liquid media are used, which require drying steps and consume energy.
- An object of the invention is a method for the dry-application of barrier and/or adhesive material(s) onto a surface or a web.
- a further object of the invention is a method for the manufacture of materials, especially packaging materials and laminates, comprising one or several layers of barrier polymers.
- a further object of the invention is the use of a dry-application method based on ionic blasting for the application of barrier and/or adhesive material(s) onto a surface or a web.
- paper, board, polymer film, metal foil or other surface or web optionally a moving web may be coated by using a dry-application method with barrier and/or adhesive materials applicable in dry form.
- small particles are applied onto a web or a surface without contacting it, by means of ionic blasting provided by high voltage, wherein the particles are charged by the ions formed by corona discharge. Thereafter, an electric field transfers the charged particles onto the web or the surface.
- Suitable barrier and adhesive materials are polymeric materials, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethyl vinylacetate, polyvinyl alcohols, polyamides, ionomeres, copolymers of vinylidene chloride and methyl acrylate and the like, which are frequently used in extrusion applications, and thermoplastic biodegradable polymers, such as polylactides, polyglycolides and their copolymers.
- polystyrene polystyrene
- polyacrylate polymethacrylate
- poly(styrene-acrylate)copolymers plastic pigments based on melamin-formaldehyde and urea-formaldehyde or combinations thereof. If the polymeric materials are supplied as aqueous dispersions they must be dried before the dry-application. This procedure is described in patent applications FI-991438 and FI-991742.
- the essential features of the polymers in the dry-application method are particle size, glass transition temperature (T g ) and electrostatic properties.
- the typical diameter size of the particles, or particle agglomerates is between 0.01 and 500 ⁇ m, preferable between 1 and 50 ⁇ m.
- the glass transition temperature (T g ) is preferably more than 40°, depending on the surface or web material used and on characteristics of the polymer.
- the polymer shall either be grindable or dryable and often a grinder is used in connection with application.
- the barrier and/or adhesive material i.e. the polymer powder is applied onto the web or the surface, which can optionally be a moving web, by using the dry- application method based on ionic blasting.
- the web or surface is selected from paper, board, polymeric film, metal foils such as aluminium foil, or the like. If the applied layer is to be the surface of a product and it is intended to be left uncovered, the powder layer may be covered with a film (polyethylene terephthalate or other non-sticking material) to avoid potential sticking of the polymer material to the surface of the calender rolls during fixing.
- the fixing is performed at temperatures suitable for the powder material, depending on nip pressure and calender speed.
- the method according to the invention has several advantages over the state of the art.
- the degrading effect of thermo-mechanical treatment on the polymeric material is decreased.
- Such materials are for example thermoplastic biodegradable polymers, such as polylactides, polyglycolides and their copolymers.
- the dry-application methods allows the introduction of the adhesive layer in the lamination process without solvents or other liquid media, thus avoiding drying steps and saving energy.
- the dry-application method allows one or more layers of one or different polymers to be applied before fixation. Also the thickness of the applied dry layer can be varied starting from very thin ( ⁇ 1 g/m 2 ) layers.
- the fixing parameters such as characteristics of the powder material, temperature, nip pressure and calender speed will define the upper limit for each product.
- PET-film (17.0 g/m 2 ) and aluminium foil, but depending on the intended use any kind of web material can be used.
- the dry-application barrier and/or adhesive materials where chosen among materials used in paper coating and lamination, especially in extrusion applications. These materials are usually provided in the form of pellets with a diameter of 1-2 mm, and the material must thus be grounded to a powder before application.
- the tests were made with powders produced with a laboratory grinder. To avoid sticking the pellets were fed into the grinder together with dry ice. This grinder had a 0.25 mm screen, resulting in that the biggest fraction of the polymer powder was 0.25 mm.
- the powders were applicated to the webs by a laboratory dry coating device. The feeding was kept constant in all trials (24 g/m 2 ).
- the produced structures were tested for grammage, thickness and pinholes. For some samples the water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) was measured, too. Additionally the lamination structures were tested for delamination. For all materials the applicability of the material upon the web and the appearance of the produced structure were visually assessed.
- WVTR water vapour transmission rate
- Polyethylene powder with a particle size (diameter) below 0.25 mm was applied onto a paper web by using dry-application technique.
- the application of the polyethylene powder onto the paper was satisfying, however the coating amount varied much, from 12.1 to 26.0 g/m2, the average being 18.2 g/m 2 .
- the thickness varied between 19.6 and 25.1 ⁇ m, average 22.6 ⁇ m.
- Table 2 The results are presented in Table 2.
- the water vapour transmission rate was best (lowest) for samples prepared at 190°C, approximately 145 g/m 2 /day. Table 1. Grammage and thickness of raw materials
- Saran MA 119 a copolymer of vinylidene chloride and methyl acrylate, was applied onto a paper web by using dry-application technique. The application of
- Saran was good and quite uniform as can be seen from Table 2. Due to the higher melting temperature of Saran a calender temperature of 190 °C was used at all three nip pressures. Adhesion to both paper and PET film was good, but there was no adhesion of Saran to aluminium foil. There were only a few pinholes in the paper/PET-laminate, at nip pressures 100 and 150 bar about 25 holes/m 2 , but at low nip pressure (50 bar) no pinholes could be found. The PET film itself showed no pinholes. The water vapour transmission rate was 1.4 - 4.7 g/m 2 /day, decreasing with higher nip pressure.
- Example 3 Example 3:
- the polylactide sample was a non-commercial sample of poly(L-lactide) with a molecular weight of about 90 000 g/mole.
- the material was applied to the paper web using the dry-application technique. Uneven ground powder polylactide led to an uneven application result. The adhesion to paper and PET film was, however, good.
- Superchlon HE-505 a chlorinated polyethylene, was applied onto a paper web by using dry-application technique. The application of Superchlon was good and uniform. The material has a higher melting point than the other polymers used, and needed a calander temperature of at least 210 °C for melting. All three nip pressures were tried. The adhesion to both paper and PET film was good.
