Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an improvement to a rubber grommet for a tilting and/or gun aerosol valve grommet (hereafter called the aerosol valve grommet), more particularly regarding the protection against moisture diffusion and uptake through the rubber grommet.
  • the aerosol valve will be used for dispensing one or two component polyurethane (PU) foam systems contained in a pressurized can or vessel or any other polymer system curing or sensitive by/to moisture/water uptake.
  • PU polyurethane
  • the type of aerosol valves relevant for the present invention is used for more than 25 years in order to dispense the content of an aerosol can.
  • the valve By tilting or vertical activation of the stem, the valve opens and delivers the vessel's content.
  • Such a valve consists of a number of plastic and metal parts.
  • the inner gasket/seal, called the grommet, is made of rubber.
  • Other parts are a special metal cup with inlaid rubber gasket and a plastic stem.
  • the polyurethane and/or similar components formed due to moisture uptake (diffusion) inside the can or vessel sticks against the grommet and or the stem. Once the first layer of PU formed on the grommet on the face inside the can or vessel, the sealing properties of the valve diminished and makes the valve subject to blocking and/or leaking.
  • a standard tilting or gun valve get stucked after contact with the polyurethane prepolymer in the can at higher temperature and higher conditions of humidity. This contact is made possible by inappropriate storage of cans (horizontal or upside down) or excessive shaking during transport.
  • a hydrophobic thermoplastic or non thermoplastic elastomer could be used such as : styrene-butadiene, butylene-styrene, silicone rubbers, isopropyl ether (Kraton, Shell), chlorinated polyethylene (Tyrin, Dupont de Nemours), epichlorhydrin homopolymers or copolymer, ethylene propylene (Nordel, Dupont de Nemours), fluoroelastomers (Viton, Dupont de Nemours), alcryn MPR (chlorinated olefin interpolymer alloy), Santoprene etc.
  • a rubber grommet with a moisture barrier provided by chemical treatment of a rubber grommet that may be otherwise usual.
  • the rubber can be BUNA, EPDM or Neoprene, butyl etc...
  • the chemical treatment is a coating of at least part of the grommet surface in contact with the container's component, by a inert hydrophobic substance dispensed or brushed on said surface or by dipping or impregnation of the whole grommet into the substance.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an example of the tilting of a valve as is well-known, with the grommet 1, the stem 4 and the cup 5 to be coupled with the aerosol can or vessel (not illustrated).
  • the tilting action provides an open passageway for the content of the can.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a similar valve, the arrows indicating the diffusion of the propellant and prepolymer from the inside of the can on one side and, on the other side, of the moisture from the environment. It is to be noted that the moisture may access the grommet also through the hollow stem. There is shown an internal “front” in the grommet where a reaction between both components occurs and wherein consequently hardness is increased.
  • Fig. 3 represents schematically a transversal section of an isolated classical grommet 1 with a hole 2 for the stem and for which the bottom part 3 has been coated according to the invention, for example by spraying (arrows), brushing, dipping or impregnation of the whole grommet.
  • the chemicals used for this type of application are preferably silicon or fluoro-polymer based compositions.
  • the treatment may be conducted either by spraying or directly laying a coating by dipping or impregnation of the whole grommet.
  • a coating/reactive agent preferably just after demoulding the rubber, it can be sprayed by a coating/reactive agent.
  • the rubber can also be brushed, impregnated or plasma treated in order to obtain a coating on the whole surface of the grommet or only on the bottom part (ref. 3 in fig. 1).
  • the applied composition can be a solution of fluoro-polymer or a silicon based composition.
  • ACMOS 70-2406 ACMOS 70-2406
  • the Münch coating spray MKX 02-125 may also be used. It is postulated that some chemical (covalent) bonding is produced between the coating and the rubber.
  • the grommet is siliconized. This extra post siliconisation improves the snappiness of the rubber and the multi-use properties of the valve.
  • a typical silicone mixture used is Bayer M350.
