Definitions
- the invention relates to a marking paintball and its method of manufacture.
- a ball of marking paint is understood to mean a capsule generally of spherical shape, which comprises an envelope and a marking paint composition contained in this envelope.
- the nature of the material constituting the envelope and its dimensional characteristics in particular the thickness must be such that the impact caused by a ball on a target causes the envelope to burst and the sprawl of the marking paint composition on the target, indicating that it has been reached.
- such a ball is made with a gelatin envelope according to a known method conventionally used for the manufacture of medicaments.
- This method comprises forming by thermoforming two hemispheres, which are assembled together, while the marking composition is introduced into the cavity delimited by the two hemispheres.
- gelatin since the gelatin is of animal origin, its preparation is delicate and it is difficult to obtain a constant and reproducible composition.
- manufacture of gelatin beads must be carried out under controlled atmospheric conditions because of the high sensitivity of the gelatin to moisture and temperature. This usually manifests itself as follows: from a certain moisture level, the gelatin softens, while at high temperature it tends to dry. Moreover, in case of frost, the water contained in the gelatin crystallizes, which has the consequence that the gelatin loses some of its mechanical properties.
- the manufacture of the gelatin beads generally comprises a hemisphere thermoforming step, generally followed by a drying step for a relatively long time, typically between one and several days.
- the packaging must be made hermetically, for example in a bag which is welded (sometimes under vacuum), in particular because of the high sensitivity of the gelatin to humidity and temperature conditions.
- ball having a controlled life is meant, within the meaning of the present invention, a ball having a life cycle determined from its manufacture up to its bio-assimilation, and whose mechanical properties are controlled.
- non-aqueous paint compositions based on solvents such as ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol.
- solvents such as ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol.
- biodegradable substance or product means a product which is biologically degradable in nature by the combined actions of an abiotic oxidative degradation followed by a bio-assimilation by the action of microorganisms. organizations.
- fragmentable substance is meant, in the sense of the present invention, a substance which fragments molecules by molecules, but which does not change chemically.
- polystyrene polystyrene molecules are still obtained after degradation of the substance.
- a product or substance that is environmentally friendly is understood to mean a biologically degradable product or substance without generating toxic residues.
- an oxo-biodegradable and non-water-soluble polymeric material can be used to make paintball bins, because this material has the same mechanical properties as gelatin.
- the term "oxo-biodegradable polymeric material” means a polymeric material which can degrade biologically in nature, having previously undergone abiotic oxidative degradation under the combined effects of heat and UV, by oxidation of the carbon-hydrogen bonds which causes a drop in the molecular weight of the material. The oxidized material in the presence of microorganisms is then converted to CO 2 , water and non-sterile biomass, without generating toxic residues.
- the oxo-biodegradable polymeric material also makes it possible to use aqueous paints which are much more environmentally friendly than the solvent-based marking paints conventionally used in marking paintballs.
- the present invention therefore relates to a marking paintball comprising:
- an envelope made of a non-water-soluble polymer material of substantially spherical shape, and a marking paint composition contained in said envelope.
- the envelope is made of an oxo-biodegradable polymeric material.
- the envelope thanks to the oxo-biodegradable nature of the envelope, it makes the beads compatible with a use in nature where, if they are abandoned, they degrade after a predetermined time, without generating hazardous components.
- the oxo-biodegradable polymeric material constituting the envelope is an oxo-biodegradable thermoplastic polymer, which is preferably chosen from oxo-biodegradable polyolefins.
- oxo-biodegradable polyolefins examples include those described in the scientific publications "Acquired biodegradability of polyethylenes containing pro-oxidant additives", in Polymer Degradation and Stability 91 (2006) 1495-1503, M. Koutny, M. Sancelme, C. Dabin, N. Pichon, AM Delort, and J. Lemaire (high density and low density polyethylenes) and "Biodegradation of thermally-oxidized, fragmented low-density polyethylenes ", in Polymer Degradation and Stability 81 (2003) 341-351, by E. Chiellini, A. Corti and G. Swift (low density polyethylenes (LDPE) only).
- LDPE low density polyethylenes
- the oxo-biodegradable polymeric material constituting the envelope advantageously comprises a synthetic polymer and at least one transition metal salt.
- the synthetic polymer of the oxo-biodegradable polymeric material used in the beads according to the invention is advantageously a thermoplastic polymer, and preferably a polyolefin.
- low density polyethylenes LDPE
- high density polyethylenes HDPE
- polypropylenes may especially be mentioned.
- transition metals used in the transition metal salts contained in the oxo-biodegradable polymeric materials of the invention mention may notably be made of iron, manganese and cobalt.
- the casing of the balls according to the invention has a thickness of between 80 and 300 ⁇ m, preferably between 80 and 120 ⁇ m. Such dimensional characteristics lead to optimize the bursting of the ball only during its impact on a target.
- the marking paint composition contained in the ball according to the invention is aqueous.
- the marking paint composition contained in the ball according to the invention contains 40 to 60% water, 0 to 5% dyestuffs and 20 to 40% binder.
- the marking paint composition further contains up to 5% sodium chloride, in order to avoid that the paint composition does not freeze when the temperature becomes negative.
- the ball according to the invention also lends itself well to thermoforming as is the case for beads whose envelope is made of gelatin, but with a considerably simplified process that does not require a drying step.
- the present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a marking paintball comprising an envelope containing a marking paint composition, comprising the steps of: providing two films of similar material; the arrangement of these films in an encapsulation unit comprising two molding drums, each of which comprises a cylinder in which a plurality of hemispherical cavities are formed, these drums being arranged in such a way that their axes are parallel and their cylinders contiguous; and the films continuously moving in the encapsulation unit so as to arrive tangentially on the rolls of the drums; transforming the films into capsule portions of substantially hemispherical shape by counter-rotating the rolls of the molding drums, and simultaneously introducing the marking paint composition into said capsule portions;
- the films are of water-insoluble and oxo-biodegradable polymeric material, and that prior to the arrival of the films on the drums rolls, the films are heated to a temperature of between 90 and 140 ° C. vs.
- the process of the invention is simplified compared to existing methods conventionally used for the manufacture of gelatin beads by suppressing the drying step.
- This step is rendered unnecessary by the fact that the oxo-biodegradable polyolefin has, upon cooling after thermoforming, the mechanical properties required for use of the ball in "paint-ball" type applications.
- the films are made of oxo-biodegradable polyolefin, and the heating temperature of these films, prior to their arrival on the rolls of the drums, is between 100 and 120 ° C.
- leaves are used as films. in oriented polyolefin, mono-axially or bi-axially, which make it possible to obtain a tendency to shrink the envelope during its cooling, which may lead to prestressing in ball pressure. This prestressing may cause a fragile rupture of the ball during its impact.
- the film of oxo-biodegradable polymeric material is a multilayer film comprising a superposition of several monolayers obtained by coextrusion or rolling.
- - Figure 1 is a sectional view of a ball according to the invention
- - Figure 2 is a sectional view of a device used for the implementation of the ball manufacturing method according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a ball 1 with a marking paint according to the invention, which comprises a casing 10 of spherical shape and containing a marking paint composition 11.
- a device 100 consisting of an encapsulation unit adapted to the implementation of the process of the invention, which is represented in FIG. 2, is used.
- this device 100 two films 2, 3 of oxo-biodegradable polyolefin are placed in rolls on the device 100.
- Each film 2, 3 is unwound, then passes into a furnace 101, 102 to be heated to a temperature between 100 and 120 0 C.
- each film 2, 3 arrives tangentially on a molding drum 111, 112 which comprises a cylinder 1110, 1120 and hemispherical cavities 1111, 1112, each connected to a vacuum source (not shown in Figure 2).
- the two drums 111, 112 are arranged one beside the other with axes 1112, 1122 parallel to each other, and the drums 111, 112 are joined.
- a prism 4 filled with marking paint composition 11 is disposed just above the drums 111, 112, so as to cover about a quarter of their respective surface.
- the premium 4 is provided, at its lower part, with a plurality of orifices capable of injecting the striking paint composition 11 between the two films 2 and 3 when placed on their respective drums 111, 112.
- the films 23 join the drums 111, 112 at the cylinders 1110, 1120, they are sucked into each cavity 1111, 1121 and take their hemispherical form. Then, by the counter-rotating rotation of the rolls 1110, 1120, the two films 2, 3 are joined together and the marking paint composition 11 is injected simultaneously. The hemispherical portions, then filled with the marking paint composition 11, are welded two by two to form the balls 1 according to the invention.
