Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a plug of foamed, thermoplastic material, which is provided with a cork fire.
  • foamed polyethylene is almost exclusively suitable for the slug; the production of the cork brandy is similar to that of the original cork brandy in a cork cork by heat, but the discoloration can not be achieved by partial charring of the cork material. but only by the discoloration of inorganic, food grade pigments that change their color when exposed to heat.
  • the pigment Iriodin® that is, pearlescent pigments based on mica and titanium oxide or iron (III) oxide, has prevailed, although this material is expressly not mentioned in the abovementioned EP 1 022 226 A. becomes.
  • EP 0 754 562 A deals with the labeling of mold plates, films and the like. From polyolefins using lasers and the mica pigments, explicitly that under the name Iriodin®, disclosed as thermally discolourable pigments.
  • the laser beam used is not focused on the surface of the prog, but is used defocused, whereby a larger area is hit with lower energy density than the focused beam.
  • the focal point lies in a plane, viewed in the direction of the laser beam, in front of the surface of the prog. This lower density makes it possible to use the laser with a lower sweep frequency than is usual in focused operation, whereby, viewed integrated over time, the sum of the energy supply obtained at each location of the total is at least approximately the same as in the conventional one.
  • the process according to the invention was used with a polyethylene graft (available from Borealis) mixed with paint, blowing agent and the discolourable pigment (laser patch) (all from Gabriel Chemie) and in one Injection molding machine after stepwise heating to 185 ° C (fluctuation ⁇ 3 ° C) is injected into the mold.
  • the injected amount, actually mass, depends on the desired plug volume, in fact on the desired plug length, values of 8.5 g are usual for medium-length plugs.
  • the cooling of the wall of the mold is significant, since at a cooling water temperature of about 12 ° C, an "outer skin" of the graft arises, in which the density of the graft is 5 to 10 times as high as in its interior.
  • outer skin This formation of a different outer region in terms of its properties from the properties in the core of the graft, hereinafter referred to as "outer skin", is essential both for the sealing properties of the graft and for its visual appearance, but this is already known and is well known in the art from the professional in the field of injection molding of foamed plastics, in particular of foamed polyethylene.
  • the cooling time of the prick depends on the type and amount of propellant gas used, it is essential that after ejection from the mold no abrading of the product takes place, as this would affect the dimensions and the quality of the outer skin.
  • a graft made in this way is now laser-engraved with a lamp-pumped 30 watt YAG laser with a 254 mm objective focusing the laser beam at a distance of 410 mm from the object.
  • the speed is set to 700 to 900 mm / sec. This speed is the superposition of the wobble motion and the forward motion.
  • a QS frequency frequency of how often one of the beam per minute or off
  • a lamp current 25 to 30 amps were, as the distance between the Surface of the plugs not kept the 410 mm to the focal point, but 420 mm, and kept the sweep frequency at 200 to 500 hertz.
  • Line widths in the typeface between 0.1 and 0.5 mm were lasered (wider lines are easily reached) and the resulting cork firing on the one hand was optically flawless and on the other hand without affecting the smooth surface.
  • the plug was guided in the focal distance of 410 mm and the sweep frequency was varied between 200 and 600 hertz. Depending on the frequency of sweeping, the resulting cork fire had either a rough to molten surface or was unsuitable for insufficient discoloration of the pigment.
  • an endless rod made of polyethylene with a polymer film (in the experiment polyethylene, but polyurethane is also possible, necessary is the food suitability or adapting to the application of the plug) is surrounded by coextrusion, the pigment iriodin only in this film area was contained along the mantle.
  • the laser energy was reduced to 15 watts and the sweep frequency to 280 hertz.
  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated examples, but may be modified variously. These modifications relate both to the composition of the graft and the manner of its preparation on the one hand and the laser devices used on the other hand. It is essential that, according to the finding that the foamed plastic behaves differently with respect to the laser irradiation, light is visible or invisible, than the same plastic in the unfoamed, potted state and therefore that according to the invention the laser is used defocused, that is the surface to be lasered is located before or, preferably, behind the point at which the laser beam is to be regarded as focused. In order to compensate for the reduction in the specific energy (based on the surface area) and to supply the pigments with sufficient energy for color change, the sweep frequency is correspondingly reduced so that ultimately the same energy is supplied as usual but in a "gentler" form.
  • the basic idea of the invention is that in order to avoid damage to the thin plastic pellicles, the energy required for color change of the pigments is applied in a lower density for a longer period of time.
  • the energy required for color change of the pigments is applied in a lower density for a longer period of time.
