Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-chamber foil pouch with a curable multicomponent composition and to the use of the multichamber foil pouch for packaging and / or processing of the multicomponent mass. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the multi-chamber foil bag in a process for producing a multicomponent composition, in particular a topical foam and in particular an inorganic fire protection foam.
  • a reactive material of two components is mixed on site and placed in the opening.
  • the reactive material should be stable until hardened and should not flow out of the opening again.
  • the stability is achieved by a corresponding adjustment of the viscosity of the material.
  • the reactive components are presented separately in two-component cartridges with a static mixer and mixed at the application site by pressing out of the cartridge in the static mixer.
  • Bulk and liquid masses are mechanically mixed together in an open vessel using a stir bar or other mixing aids.
  • the mixed mass can then be manually introduced into the opening to be filled and / or be brought into the desired shape, or filled in other application aids such as a dough press and introduced into the opening.
  • Multicomponent systems for producing gypsum foams and / or cement foams by mixing in open vessels are known, for example, from US Pat EP 2 045 227 A known.
  • the hydraulically setting composition described therein serves for the production of inorganic fire-resistant or insulating local foams and comprises a pH-neutral or alkaline hydraulic binder and a foaming component as well as a foam stabilizer, the foaming component releasing oxygen or carbon dioxide.
  • the known inorganic fire protection systems are difficult to introduce into openings and are often applicable only as a potting compound with elaborate formwork devices.
  • a powder is to be mixed with liquid in a closed container, further aids such as balls are needed in a partially air-filled space. To empty the container, a substantially liquid consistency of the mixture is required.
  • liquid two-component casting resins are known, which are introduced into a two-chamber foil bag with clamp closure.
  • the liquid potting resin is mixed manually after removing the clamp closure and then poured, for example, in cable lugs.
  • Two-component cartridges or two-component film containers with static mixers have a certain dead volume in the mixer. Furthermore, the mixing quality at the beginning of the mixture is insufficient, so that a flow has to be removed, which is to be discarded. Furthermore, a residual amount remains in the static mixer. In commercial systems, this residual amount is about 30 g of the two-component mass, and the amount taken as a preliminary amount is about 15 g. Per application is therefore expected to be about 45 g loss of curable material. If the user only needs to make a small number of four to five attachment points that require about 10 to 15 grams of mass per attachment point, the percent loss amount is about 50% or more. In addition, a new static mixer is required if additional applications are to be carried out with the same container. When using small amounts of the two-component mass must therefore be expected with high losses and correspondingly high material costs.
  • the DE 3830630 A1 describes a multi-chamber bag system with a flexible, sealed to the environment foil bag and with a clamping element for clamping a portion of the bag for dividing the bag interior in at least two chambers.
  • Clamp bags are sufficient for liquid casting resins because the mass can flow out of the bags. Stable pasty masses are worse to work with conventional clamping bags, since the masses must be manually pressed out of the bag with pressure. The emptying of the sack is generally unsatisfactory and users attempt to empty the remainder by crumpling or twisting the sack.
  • Reels are usually only available separately and do not fit different systems and sizes of tubes or plastic bags. Threading the bag seam into the reel is not always simple, the reel can slip off and during the first turns hardly enough force to produce the pressure necessary to squeeze out the contents of the bag. Only when the foil layers press against each other, larger forces can be applied.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a simple, user-friendly and cost-effective application form and packaging for good mixing and application of curable multicomponent compositions in a closed container, especially for chemical anchor or for an inorganic foam based on gypsum or cement mortar for insulation or fire protection applications with solid, powdery and liquid components.
  • the application form should allow the mixing of components without expensive tools and allow the introduction of the mass in tight and / or difficult to access openings. In this case, even small quantities without flow losses and / or residual quantity losses should be processed.
  • the invention further relates to the use of the multi-chamber film bag according to claim 13 for packaging and / or processing a curable multi-component composition, and a method for producing and processing a curable multi-component material using the inventive multi-chamber foil bag having the features of claim 14.
  • the invention provides a multi-chamber foil pouch having a curable multicomponent mass, with at least two chambers separated from one another in a liquid-tight manner, one of the chambers being filled with a first component and at least one other chamber being filled with a hardener component for the first component.
  • the multi-chamber foil bag comprises a separator which liquid-tightly separates the chambers in a stored condition and, in a use condition, provides flow communication between the chambers for mixing the first component and the hardener component.
  • the bag has an opening portion that can be opened to discharge the mixed multicomponent mass.
  • the Separating element comprises a provided with a longitudinal groove clamping rail and a clamping strip.
  • Either the clamping rail or the clamping strip is firmly connected to an edge of the film bag opposite the opening section.
  • the fixedly connected to the foil bag edge portion of the separating element has an engaging portion which allows a rotational movement of the fixed part for rolling up the foil bag on the firmly connected part.
  • the separator thus combines the function of mutual sealing of the chambers with the function of a retractor. This ensures that the reel for squeezing the bag contents does not have to be provided separately. In addition, eliminates the time-consuming threading of the bag seam in the reel. Since the mixing of the components takes place after the removal of the clamping strip in the closed bag, the mixed mass can be fully utilized. There is no flow, which would have to be disposed of because of insufficient mixing of the components. The reel also allows almost complete emptying even when using foil bags made of plastic, which can not be guaranteed by manual squeezing the bag contents. The use of special Auspresstechnikn can thus be dispensed with.
  • the multi-chamber foil pouch according to the invention also makes it possible to provide foil packs with fixed quantities of the reactive components for the curable multicomponent mass predetermined by the pack. Thus, a misdosing by the user can be safely avoided and the mixture is ready for immediate use.

  • the separating element of the multi-chamber foil bag can be easily opened without tools. By simply kneading the components, good mixing results can be achieved.
  • the firmly connected to the film bag part of the separating element allows easy operation with one hand, so that the opening portion out with the other hand and the mixed multicomponent compound from the opening portion can be selectively applied in an on-site opening.
  • the opening portion may be further formed as a nozzle tip and thus allow a targeted application of the mass in narrow and difficult to access openings.
  • the mass after mixing the Components in the film bag are already in a stable consistency to prevent the flow out of the mass from the openings to be filled.
  • the invention further provides a cost-effective and space-saving film packaging.
  • During mixing contact between the user and the reactive components is excluded, so that a health hazard is avoided.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Mehrkammer-Folienbeutel mit einer härtbaren Mehrkomponentenmasse und die Verwendung des Mehrkammer-Folienbeutels zur Verpackung und/oder Verarbeitung der Mehrkomponentenmasse. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung die Verwendung des Mehrkammerfolienbeutels in einem Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Mehrkomponentenmasse, insbesondere eines Ortsschaums und insbesondere eines anorganischen Brandschutzschaums.The invention relates to a multi-chamber foil pouch with a curable multicomponent composition and to the use of the multichamber foil pouch for packaging and / or processing of the multicomponent mass. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the multi-chamber foil bag in a process for producing a multicomponent composition, in particular a topical foam and in particular an inorganic fire protection foam.

Zum schnellen Schließen von Öffnungen, wie beispielsweise Brandschutzdurchführungen im Baubereich, oder zum Verankern von Bauteilen in Bohrlöchern wird ein reaktives Material aus zwei Komponenten vor Ort gemischt und in die Öffnung eingebracht. Das reaktive Material soll bis zur Aushärtung standfest sein und nicht wieder aus der Öffnung herausfließen.For fast closing of openings, such as building fire protection ducts, or for anchoring components in wellbores, a reactive material of two components is mixed on site and placed in the opening. The reactive material should be stable until hardened and should not flow out of the opening again.

Bei Zweikomponentenmassen aus Flüssigharzen wie Polyurethan oder Epoxidharzen wird die Standfestigkeit durch eine entsprechende Einstellung der Viskosität des Materials erreicht. Die reaktiven Komponenten werden getrennt in Zweikomponenten-Kartuschen mit einem Statikmischer vorgelegt und am Applikationsort durch Auspressen aus der Kartusche im Statikmischer gemischt.In the case of two-component masses of liquid resins such as polyurethane or epoxy resins, the stability is achieved by a corresponding adjustment of the viscosity of the material. The reactive components are presented separately in two-component cartridges with a static mixer and mixed at the application site by pressing out of the cartridge in the static mixer.

Aus Pulver und Flüssigkeiten bestehende Massen werden in einem offenen Gefäß unter Verwendung eines Rührstabs oder von anderen Mischhilfsmitteln mechanisch miteinander vermengt. Die gemischte Masse kann dann manuell in die zu füllende Öffnung eingebracht und/oder in die gewünschte Form gebracht werden, oder in weitere Applikationshilfsmittel wie beispielsweise eine Teigpresse gefüllt und in die Öffnung eingebracht werden.Bulk and liquid masses are mechanically mixed together in an open vessel using a stir bar or other mixing aids. The mixed mass can then be manually introduced into the opening to be filled and / or be brought into the desired shape, or filled in other application aids such as a dough press and introduced into the opening.

Mehrkomponenten-Systeme zur Herstellung von Gipsschäumen und/oder Zementschäumen durch Mischen in offenen Gefäßen sind beispielsweise aus der EP 2 045 227 A bekannt. Die dort beschriebene hydraulisch abbindende Zusammensetzung dient zur Herstellung von anorganischen Brandschutz- oder Isolier-Ortsschäumen und umfasst ein pH-neutrales oder alkalisches hydraulisches Bindemittel und eine Schäumungskomponente sowie einen Schaumstabilisator, wobei die Schäumungskomponente Sauerstoff oder Kohlendioxid freisetzt. Die bekannten anorganischen Brandschutzsysteme können jedoch nur schwer in Öffnungen eingebracht werden und sind häufig nur als Vergussmasse mit aufwendigen Schalungsvorrichtungen anwendbar.Multicomponent systems for producing gypsum foams and / or cement foams by mixing in open vessels are known, for example, from US Pat EP 2 045 227 A known. The hydraulically setting composition described therein serves for the production of inorganic fire-resistant or insulating local foams and comprises a pH-neutral or alkaline hydraulic binder and a foaming component as well as a foam stabilizer, the foaming component releasing oxygen or carbon dioxide. The known inorganic fire protection systems, however, are difficult to introduce into openings and are often applicable only as a potting compound with elaborate formwork devices.

Falls ein Pulver mit Flüssigkeit in einem geschlossenen Behältnis gemischt werden soll, werden weitere Hilfsmittel wie beispielsweise Kugeln in einem zum Teil mit Luft gefüllten Raum benötigt. Zum Entleeren des Behälters ist eine im Wesentlichen flüssige Konsistenz der Mischung erforderlich.If a powder is to be mixed with liquid in a closed container, further aids such as balls are needed in a partially air-filled space. To empty the container, a substantially liquid consistency of the mixture is required.

Ferner sind flüssige Zweikomponenten-Vergussharze bekannt, die in einen Zweikammer-Folienbeutel mit Klemmverschluss eingebracht sind. Hier wird das flüssige Vergussharz nach dem Entfernen des Klemmverschlusses manuell vermischt und anschließend beispielsweise in Kabelschuhe gegossen.Furthermore, liquid two-component casting resins are known, which are introduced into a two-chamber foil bag with clamp closure. Here, the liquid potting resin is mixed manually after removing the clamp closure and then poured, for example, in cable lugs.

Zum Auspressen von pastösen Massen aus Tuben oder Folienbeuteln sind darüber hinaus verschiedene Aufroller und Ausstreifvorrichtungen auch in Kombination miteinander bekannt. Diese Hilfsmittel weisen einen zwischen zwei Leisten gebildeten Längsschlitz auf, in den der Tubenfalz eingeführt wird, wobei der Tubeninhalt dann entweder durch Aufrollen der Tube vom Tubenende her oder durch Aufstreifen der Leisten und Zusammendrücken der Tube ausgepresst wird.For pressing pasty masses of tubes or foil bags, moreover, various retractors and stripping devices are also known in combination with each other. These aids have a longitudinal slot formed between two strips, in which the tube rebate is introduced, the tube contents is then pressed either by rolling the tube from the end of the tube ago or by brushing the strips and squeezing the tube.

Eine einfache und kostengünstige Verpackung zum guten Vermischen und Ausbringen von härtbaren Mehrkomponentenmassen in einem geschlossenen Behälter ist bisher nicht bekannt.A simple and inexpensive packaging for good mixing and application of curable multi-component compositions in a closed container is not known.

Zweikomponenten-Kartuschen oder Zweikomponenten-Foliengebinde mit Statikmischer weisen im Mischer ein gewisses Totvolumen auf. Ferner ist die Mischgüte zu Beginn der Mischung unzureichend, so dass ein Vorlauf abgenommen werden muss, der zu verwerfen ist. Weiterhin bleibt eine Restmenge im Statikmischer zurück. Bei handelsüblichen Systemen beträgt diese Restmenge etwa 30 g der Zweikomponentenmasse, und die als Vorlauf abgenommene Menge beträgt etwa 15 g. Pro Anwendung ist also mit etwa 45 g Verlust an härtbarer Masse zu rechnen. Wenn der Anwender nur eine geringe Anzahl von vier bis fünf Befestigungspunkten herzustellen hat, für die etwa 10 bis 15 g Masse pro Befestigungspunkt benötigt werden, liegt die prozentuale Verlustmenge bei etwa 50 % oder mehr. Zusätzlich wird ein neuer Statikmischer benötigt, wenn weitere Anwendungen mit demselben Gebinde durchgeführt werden sollen. Bei Anwendung von Kleinmengen der Zweikomponentenmasse muss also mit hohen Verlusten und entsprechend hohen Materialkosten gerechnet werden.Two-component cartridges or two-component film containers with static mixers have a certain dead volume in the mixer. Furthermore, the mixing quality at the beginning of the mixture is insufficient, so that a flow has to be removed, which is to be discarded. Furthermore, a residual amount remains in the static mixer. In commercial systems, this residual amount is about 30 g of the two-component mass, and the amount taken as a preliminary amount is about 15 g. Per application is therefore expected to be about 45 g loss of curable material. If the user only needs to make a small number of four to five attachment points that require about 10 to 15 grams of mass per attachment point, the percent loss amount is about 50% or more. In addition, a new static mixer is required if additional applications are to be carried out with the same container. When using small amounts of the two-component mass must therefore be expected with high losses and correspondingly high material costs.

Die DE 3830630 A1 beschreibt ein Mehrkammerbeutelsystem mit einem flexiblen, zur Umgebung hin abgedichteten Folienbeutel und mit einem Klemmelement zum Abklemmen eines Bereiches des Beutels zur Unterteilung des Beutelinnenraumes in zumindest zwei Kammern.The DE 3830630 A1 describes a multi-chamber bag system with a flexible, sealed to the environment foil bag and with a clamping element for clamping a portion of the bag for dividing the bag interior in at least two chambers.

Klemmbeutel sind für flüssige Gießharze ausreichend, weil die Masse aus den Beuteln fließen kann. Standfeste pastöse Massen sind mit üblichen Klemmbeuteln schlechter zu verarbeiten, da die Massen manuell mit Druck aus dem Beutel herausgepresst werden müssen. Die Restentleerung der Klemmbeutel ist im Allgemeinen nicht zufriedenstellend, und die Anwender versuchen, die Restmengen durch Zusammenknüllen oder Verdrehen der Beutel zu entleeren.Clamp bags are sufficient for liquid casting resins because the mass can flow out of the bags. Stable pasty masses are worse to work with conventional clamping bags, since the masses must be manually pressed out of the bag with pressure. The emptying of the sack is generally unsatisfactory and users attempt to empty the remainder by crumpling or twisting the sack.

Ausstreifvorrichtungen haben den Nachteil, dass die Tube oder der Beutel am hinteren Ende gehalten werden muss, um den Beutel durch den Ausstreifer zu ziehen und die Masse aus dem Beutel auszupressen. Dabei hat der Anwender nicht die Möglichkeit, die aus der Beutelöffnung austretende Masse gezielt zu applizieren. Auch die Entleerung von Restmengen ist in diesem Fall nicht optimal, weil die Masse auch durch den Ausstreifspalt in den hinteren Bereich des Beutels dringen kann. Eine Verengung des Ausstreifspaltes bewirkt jedoch, dass die zum Auspressen des Beutelinhalts benötigte Kraft sehr hoch wird.Scaler devices have the disadvantage that the tube or bag must be held at the trailing end to pull the bag through the scraper and squeeze the mass out of the bag. In this case, the user does not have the opportunity to apply the emerging from the bag opening mass targeted. The emptying of residual amounts is not optimal in this case, because the mass can penetrate through the Ausstreifspalt in the rear of the bag. However, a narrowing of the Ausstreifspaltes causes the force required to squeeze the bag contents is very high.

Aufroller sind meist nur separat erhältlich und passen nicht auf verschiedene Systeme und Größen von Tuben oder Folienbeuteln. Das Einfädeln der Beutelnaht in den Aufroller ist nicht immer einfach, der Aufroller kann abrutschen und bringt während der ersten Umdrehungen kaum genügend Kraft auf, um den zum Auspressen des Beutelinhalts notwendigen Druck zu erzeugen. Erst wenn die Folienlagen gegeneinander drücken, können größere Kräfte aufgebracht werden.Reels are usually only available separately and do not fit different systems and sizes of tubes or plastic bags. Threading the bag seam into the reel is not always simple, the reel can slip off and during the first turns hardly enough force to produce the pressure necessary to squeeze out the contents of the bag. Only when the foil layers press against each other, larger forces can be applied.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfache, anwenderfreundliche und kostengünstige Anwendungsform und Verpackung zum guten Mischen und Ausbringen von härtbaren Mehrkomponentenmassen in einem geschlossenen Behälter bereitzustellen, insbesondere für chemische Anker oder für einen anorganischen Schaum auf Basis von Gips oder Zementmörtel für Isolier- oder Brandschutzanwendungen mit festen, pulverförmigen und flüssigen Komponenten. Die Anwendungsform soll das Mischen der Komponenten ohne aufwendige Werkzeuge gestatten und das Einbringen der Masse auch in enge und/oder schwer zugängliche Öffnungen ermöglichen. Dabei sollen auch kleine Mengen ohne Vorlaufverluste und/oder Restmengenverluste verarbeitet werden können.The invention has for its object to provide a simple, user-friendly and cost-effective application form and packaging for good mixing and application of curable multicomponent compositions in a closed container, especially for chemical anchor or for an inorganic foam based on gypsum or cement mortar for insulation or fire protection applications with solid, powdery and liquid components. The application form should allow the mixing of components without expensive tools and allow the introduction of the mass in tight and / or difficult to access openings. In this case, even small quantities without flow losses and / or residual quantity losses should be processed.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch einen Mehrkammer-Folienbeutel gemäß Anspruch 1. Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ferner die Verwendung des Mehrkammer-Folienbeutels gemäß Anspruch 13 zur Verpackung und/oder Verarbeitung einer härtbaren Mehrkomponentenmasse, sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung und Verarbeitung einer härtbaren Mehrkomponentenmasse unter Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Mehrkammer-Folienbeutels mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 14.This object is achieved by a multi-chamber film bag according to claim 1. The invention further relates to the use of the multi-chamber film bag according to claim 13 for packaging and / or processing a curable multi-component composition, and a method for producing and processing a curable multi-component material using the inventive multi-chamber foil bag having the features of claim 14.

Vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens und des erfindungsgemäßen Folienbeutels sind in den zugehörigen Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous and expedient embodiments of the method according to the invention and of the film bag according to the invention are specified in the associated subclaims.

Die Erfindung stellt einen Mehrkammer-Folienbeutel mit einer härtbaren Mehrkomponentenmasse bereit, mit wenigstens zwei flüssigkeitsdicht voneinander getrennten Kammern, wobei eine der Kammern mit einer ersten Komponente und wenigstens eine andere Kammer mit einer Härterkomponente für die erste Komponente gefüllt ist. Ferner umfasst der Mehrkammer-Folienbeutel ein Trennelement, das die Kammern in einem Lagerzustand flüssigkeitsdicht voneinander trennt und in einem Gebrauchszustand eine Strömungsverbindung zwischen den Kammern zum Mischen der ersten Komponente und der Härterkomponente bereitstellt. Der Beutel weist einen Öffnungsabschnitt auf, der zum Austragen der gemischten Mehrkomponentenmasse geöffnet werden kann. Das Trennelement umfasst eine mit einer Längsnut versehene Klemmschiene und einen Klemmstreifen. Entweder die Klemmschiene oder der Klemmstreifen ist mit einem dem Öffnungsabschnitt gegenüberliegenden Rand des Folienbeutels fest verbunden. Der fest mit dem Folienbeutelrand verbundene Teil des Trennelements weist einen Angriffsabschnitt auf, der eine Rotationsbewegung des fest verbundenen Teils zum Aufrollen des Folienbeutels auf den fest verbundenen Teil gestattet.The invention provides a multi-chamber foil pouch having a curable multicomponent mass, with at least two chambers separated from one another in a liquid-tight manner, one of the chambers being filled with a first component and at least one other chamber being filled with a hardener component for the first component. Further, the multi-chamber foil bag comprises a separator which liquid-tightly separates the chambers in a stored condition and, in a use condition, provides flow communication between the chambers for mixing the first component and the hardener component. The bag has an opening portion that can be opened to discharge the mixed multicomponent mass. The Separating element comprises a provided with a longitudinal groove clamping rail and a clamping strip. Either the clamping rail or the clamping strip is firmly connected to an edge of the film bag opposite the opening section. The fixedly connected to the foil bag edge portion of the separating element has an engaging portion which allows a rotational movement of the fixed part for rolling up the foil bag on the firmly connected part.

Das Trennelement kombiniert somit die Funktion einer gegenseitigen Abdichtung der Kammern mit der Funktion eines Aufrollers. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der Aufroller zum Auspressen des Beutelinhalts nicht separat bereitgestellt werden muss. Außerdem entfällt das zeitaufwändige Einfädeln der Beutelnaht in den Aufroller. Da die Mischung der Komponenten nach dem Entfernen des Klemmstreifens im geschlossenen Beutel erfolgt, kann die gemischte Masse vollständig verwertet werden. Es fällt kein Vorlauf an, der wegen unzureichender Vermischung der Komponenten entsorgt werden müsste. Der Aufroller ermöglicht ferner eine fast vollständige Restentleerung auch bei Verwendung von Folienbeuteln aus Kunststoff, die durch manuelles Auspressen des Beutelinhalts nicht zu gewährleisten ist. Auf die Verwendung von speziellen Auspressgeräten kann somit verzichtet werden.The separator thus combines the function of mutual sealing of the chambers with the function of a retractor. This ensures that the reel for squeezing the bag contents does not have to be provided separately. In addition, eliminates the time-consuming threading of the bag seam in the reel. Since the mixing of the components takes place after the removal of the clamping strip in the closed bag, the mixed mass can be fully utilized. There is no flow, which would have to be disposed of because of insufficient mixing of the components. The reel also allows almost complete emptying even when using foil bags made of plastic, which can not be guaranteed by manual squeezing the bag contents. The use of special Auspressgeräten can thus be dispensed with.

Der erfindungsgemäße Mehrkammer-Folienbeutel ermöglicht es weiter, Foliengebinde mit festen, durch die Verpackung vorgegebenen Mengen der reaktiven Komponenten für die härtbare Mehrkomponentenmasse bereitzustellen. Damit kann eine Fehldosierung durch den Anwender sicher vermieden werden und die Mischung steht zur sofortigen Anwendung bereit. Außerdem können auf diese Weise auch kleine Gebinde von etwa 30 bis 100 g einfach und kostensparend bereitgestellt werden. Das Trennelement des Mehrkammer-Folienbeutels kann ohne Werkzeug einfach geöffnet werden. Durch einfaches Kneten der Komponenten können gute Mischungsergebnisse erzielt werden.The multi-chamber foil pouch according to the invention also makes it possible to provide foil packs with fixed quantities of the reactive components for the curable multicomponent mass predetermined by the pack. Thus, a misdosing by the user can be safely avoided and the mixture is ready for immediate use. In addition, small containers of about 30 to 100 g can be provided in this way easy and cost-saving. The separating element of the multi-chamber foil bag can be easily opened without tools. By simply kneading the components, good mixing results can be achieved.

Der fest mit dem Folienbeutel verbundene Teil des Trennelements ermöglicht eine einfache Bedienung mit einer Hand, so dass der Öffnungsabschnitt mit der anderen Hand geführt und die gemischte Mehrkomponentenmasse aus dem Öffnungsabschnitt gezielt in eine bauseitige Öffnung appliziert werden kann. Der Öffnungsabschnitt kann weiter als Düsenspitze ausgebildet sein und somit eine gezielte Applikation der Masse auch in enge und schwer zugängliche Öffnungen ermöglichen. Weiterhin kann die Masse nach dem Vermischen der Komponenten im Folienbeutel bereits in standfester Konsistenz vorliegen, um das Herausfließen der Masse aus den zu füllenden Öffnungen zu verhindern.The firmly connected to the film bag part of the separating element allows easy operation with one hand, so that the opening portion out with the other hand and the mixed multicomponent compound from the opening portion can be selectively applied in an on-site opening. The opening portion may be further formed as a nozzle tip and thus allow a targeted application of the mass in narrow and difficult to access openings. Furthermore, the mass after mixing the Components in the film bag are already in a stable consistency to prevent the flow out of the mass from the openings to be filled.

Mit der Erfindung wird ferner eine kostengünstige und platzsparende Folienverpackung bereitgestellt. Während des Mischens ist ein Kontakt des Anwenders mit den reaktiven Komponenten ausgeschlossen, so dass eine Gesundheitsgefährdung vermieden wird. Schließlich sind auch keine zusätzlichen Mischelemente wie Statikmischer und auch keine Mischwerkzeuge und Mischbehälter nötig, da das Vermischen der Komponenten innerhalb der Folienverpackung erfolgt. Damit entfallen auch die sonst notwendigen Reinigungsarbeiten an den Werkzeugen.The invention further provides a cost-effective and space-saving film packaging. During mixing, contact between the user and the reactive components is excluded, so that a health hazard is avoided. Finally, no additional mixing elements such as static mixers and no mixing tools and mixing containers are necessary because the mixing of the components takes place within the film packaging. This eliminates the otherwise necessary cleaning work on the tools.

Obwohl die Erfindung im Folgenden anhand eines Zweikomponentensystems beschrieben wird, sind auch Mehrkomponenten-Systeme von der Erfindung umfasst und mit geringem Aufwand zu verwirklichen, die mehr als zwei reaktive Komponenten aufweisen, welche in dem Folienbeutel in mehr als zwei voneinander getrennten Kammern eingebracht sind.Although the invention is described below on the basis of a two-component system, multicomponent systems are also encompassed by the invention and can be realized with little effort, which have more than two reactive components, which are incorporated in the foil bag in more than two separate chambers.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die härtbare Mehrkomponentenmasse eine härtbare organische Masse, insbesondere auf Grundlage von Epoxiden, (Meth)acrylaten oder Polyurethan.According to a preferred embodiment, the curable multicomponent composition is a curable organic material, in particular based on epoxides, (meth) acrylates or polyurethane.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die Mehrkomponentenmasse eine anorganische Mehrkomponentenmasse, umfassend eine hydraulisch abbindende Komponente als reaktive Komponente, die auch pulverförmig sein kann, und eine Wasser enthaltende Komponente als Härterkomponente. Als hydraulisches Bindemittel können Zement, insbesondere Portlandzement, Trass, Puzzolane, hydraulische Kalke und Gips oder deren Mischungen verwendet werden. Als Härterkomponente können Wasser oder wässrige Lösungen verwendet werden.According to a further embodiment, the multicomponent composition is an inorganic multicomponent composition comprising a hydraulically setting component as a reactive component, which may also be pulverulent, and a water-containing component as a hardener component. Cement, in particular Portland cement, trass, pozzolans, hydraulic limestones and gypsum or mixtures thereof can be used as the hydraulic binder. As the hardener component, water or aqueous solutions can be used.

Bevorzugt ist die anorganische Mehrkomponentenmasse ein anorganischer Brandschutzschaum oder Isolierschaum mit wenigstens einem hydraulischen Bindemittel, einer Schäumungskomponente sowie einem Schaumstabilisator. Die Schäumungskomponente kann aus einem Alkali- oder Erdalkalicarbonat oder -hydrogencarbonat und einer Säure, und/oder aus einem Sauerstoffträger und einem Katalysator gebildet sein. Als Sauerstoffträger kann insbesondere Wasserstoffperoxid in wässriger Lösung dienen. Der Katalysator kann Braunstein MnO2 umfassen. Derartige Schaumsysteme sind aus der EP 2 045 227 A1 bekannt.The inorganic multicomponent composition is preferably an inorganic fire-protection foam or insulating foam with at least one hydraulic binder, a foaming component and a foam stabilizer. The foaming component may be formed from an alkali or alkaline earth carbonate or bicarbonate and an acid, and / or from an oxygen carrier and a catalyst. In particular, hydrogen peroxide can be used as the oxygen carrier serve aqueous solution. The catalyst may include manganese dioxide MnO 2 . Such foam systems are from the EP 2 045 227 A1 known.

Der Mehrkammerfolienbeutel kann als Flachbeutel oder auch als Schlauchbeutel gebildet sein. Die Herstellung dieser Systeme ist dem Fachmann grundsätzlich bekannt. Flachbeutel werden üblicherweise durch Aufeinanderlegen zweier Kunststofffolien und randumlaufendes Verschweißen der Folien gebildet. Für die vorliegende Erfindung zweckmäßige Schlauchbeutel entstehen durch Spritzen der Kunststofffolien aus Runddüsen unter Bildung eines Folienschlauchs und Verschweißen der Schlauchenden. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Mehrkammer-Folienbeutel um einen Flachbeutel aus Kunststoff mit fest verschweißten Seitenrändern.The multi-chamber foil bag can be formed as a flat bag or as a tubular bag. The production of these systems is known in principle to the person skilled in the art. Flat bags are usually formed by stacking two plastic films and randumlaufendes welding of the films. For the present invention expedient tubular bags are formed by spraying the plastic films from round dies to form a film tube and welding the hose ends. The multi-chamber foil bag according to the invention is preferably a flat plastic bag with firmly welded side edges.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform grenzen die mindestens zwei Kammern direkt aneinander an. Diese Ausführungsform bietet sich für alle Anwendungen an, bei denen die mindestens zwei Komponenten physikalisch gut vermischbar sind, wie beispielsweise niederviskose Komponenten oder eine niederviskose Komponente mit einer pulverförmigen Komponente.In a preferred embodiment, the at least two chambers directly adjoin one another. This embodiment is suitable for all applications in which the at least two components are physically well miscible, for example low-viscosity components or a low-viscosity component with a pulverulent component.

Ferner weist der Mehrkammer-Folienbeutel einen Öffnungsabschnitt auf, der zum Austragen der gemischten Mehrkomponentenmasse geöffnet werden kann. In dieser Ausführungsform ist der Öffnungsabschnitt vorzugsweise von einer der zwei Kammern umfasst.Furthermore, the multi-chamber foil bag has an opening portion which can be opened to discharge the mixed multicomponent mass. In this embodiment, the opening portion is preferably comprised by one of the two chambers.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform sind die mindestens zwei Kammern in einen Abstand voneinander angeordnet und zwischen den Kammern ist ein Beutelabschnitt mit verringertem Querschnitt angeordnet. Hierdurch wird ein besseres Durchmischen erreicht, da die Masse wechselseitig durch eine Verengung gedrückt werden kann. Diese Ausführungsform ermöglicht somit das Mischen sehr viskoser Komponenten. In dieser Ausführungsform kann die Komponente derjenigen Kammer, welche nicht von dem Trennelement begrenzt wird, durch ein weiteres Trennelement, beispielsweise eine Klemm- oder Peelnaht, von dem Beutelabschnitt mit verringertem Querschnitt abgetrennt sein. Schließlich ist auch vorgesehen, den Beutelabschnitt mit verringertem Querschnitt mit einer weiteren reaktiven Komponente zu füllen. Der Beutelabschnitt bildet dann selbst eine flüssigkeitsdicht von den anderen Kammern abgetrennte Kammer.In an alternative embodiment, the at least two chambers are arranged at a distance from each other and between the chambers, a bag section is arranged with a reduced cross-section. As a result, a better mixing is achieved because the mass can be mutually pressed by a constriction. This embodiment thus enables the mixing of very viscous components. In this embodiment, the component of that chamber, which is not delimited by the separating element, can be separated from the reduced-section bag section by a further separating element, for example a clamping or peeling seam. Finally, it is also provided to fill the bag section of reduced cross section with another reactive component. The bag section then forms itself a liquid-tight separated from the other chambers chamber.

Der Öffnungsabschnitt ist in dieser Ausführungsform vorzugsweise von dem Beutelabschnitt mit verringertem Querschnitt umfasst.The opening portion in this embodiment is preferably comprised of the reduced cross section bag portion.

In einer Ausführungsform des Mehrkammer-Folienbeutels ist der Öffnungsabschnitt mit einem in den Folienbeutel eingeschweißten Schraubverschluss versehen. Ein Schraubverschluss erlaubt das Anbringen handelsüblicher Kartuschendüsen oder Düsenspitzen, mit denen die Mehrkomponentenmasse je nach dem gewünschten Anwendungszweck am Applikationsort aus dem Folienbeutel ausgetragen werden kann.In one embodiment of the multi-chamber foil bag, the opening section is provided with a screw-in closure welded into the foil bag. A screw cap allows the attachment of commercially available cartridge nozzles or nozzle tips with which the multicomponent mass can be discharged from the foil bag depending on the desired application at the application site.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann der Öffnungsabschnitt zum Austragen der Mehrkomponentenmasse durch eine in den Folienbeutel eingeschweißte, vorzugsweise spitz oder konisch zulaufende Düsenspitze oder Kunststofftülle gebildet sein. Vorzugsweise ist die Düsenspitze oder Kunststofftülle an ihrem freien Ende verschlossen und wird am Applikationsort je nach der gewünschten Größe der Düsenöffnung aufgeschnitten oder an einer vorgesehenen Schwächungszone, wie einer ringförmigen Sollbruchstelle, abgebrochen. Sind die Düsenspitzen mit Schwächungszonen versehen, so wird zum Öffnen der Auspressspitzen keine Schere oder kein Messer benötigt. Bei Bedarf kann die Düsenspitze auch durch Aufstecken einer weiteren Kunststoffspitze verlängert werden. Die Verwendung von Düsenspitzen mit einer konisch oder spitz zulaufenden Auspressöffnung und einem vorgegebenen Öffnungsquerschnitt ermöglicht ein gezieltes Einbringen des Schaumsystems auch in enge Spalte mit schlechter Zugänglichkeit. Somit können bauseitige Öffnungen schnell, einfach und kostengünstig mit der härtbaren Mehrkomponentenmasse ausgefüllt werden.According to a further embodiment, the opening section for discharging the multicomponent mass may be formed by a nozzle tip or plastic nozzle which is welded into the film bag and preferably has a pointed or conical taper. Preferably, the nozzle tip or plastic nozzle is closed at its free end and is cut at the application site depending on the desired size of the nozzle opening or at an intended weakening zone, such as an annular predetermined breaking point, stopped. If the nozzle tips are provided with weakening zones, no scissors or knife is required to open the extrusion tips. If necessary, the nozzle tip can also be extended by attaching another plastic tip. The use of nozzle tips with a conical or tapered extrusion opening and a predetermined opening cross-section allows targeted introduction of the foam system in narrow gaps with poor accessibility. Thus, on-site openings can be filled quickly, easily and inexpensively with the curable multi-component compound.

Besonders bevorzugt ist der Abschnitt zum Austragen des Schaumsystems durch eine einstückig an den Folienbeutel angeformte Tülle gebildet. Die Tülle kann rohrförmig sein oder zu ihrem der Kammer entgegengesetzten freien Ende hin konisch oder spitz zulaufen. Besonders bevorzugt ist die Tülle an ihrem freien Ende mit einer Schwächungszone, wie beispielsweise einer Reißnaht, versehen, die ein Aufreißen der Tülle ohne Werkzeug ermöglicht. Auf diese Weise können auch schwer zugängliche Öffnungen schnell, einfach und kostengünstig mit der Mehrkomponentenmasse verfüllt werden.Particularly preferably, the portion for discharging the foam system is formed by an integrally formed on the film bag spout. The spout may be tubular or conical or tapered toward its free end opposite the chamber. Particularly preferably, the spout is provided at its free end with a weakening zone, such as a tear seam, which allows tearing of the spout without tools. In this way, even inaccessible openings can be quickly, easily and inexpensively filled with the multi-component mass.

Erfindungsgemäß umfasst das Trennelement eine mit einer Längsnut versehene Klemmschiene und einen Klemmstreifen. Vorzugsweise weist die Klemmschiene ein U-Profil auf.According to the invention, the separating element comprises a clamping rail provided with a longitudinal groove and a clamping strip. Preferably, the clamping rail has a U-profile.

Entweder die Klemmschiene oder der Klemmstreifen ist mit einem dem Öffnungsabschnitt entgegengesetzten Rand des Folienbeutels fest verbunden und weist einen Angriffsabschnitt auf, der eine Drehbewegung des verbundenen Teils zum Aufrollen des Folienbeutels auf den verbundenen Teil ermöglicht. Die Verbindung erfolgt vorzugsweise durch Verkleben oder Verschweißen. Der Angriffsabschnitt ist so ausgebildet, dass die Drehbewegung für den Anwender erleichtert wird. Vorzugsweise weist der Angriffsabschnitt die Form einer Kugel, eines Rads, eines Kreuzes, eines Flügels oder eines Streifens auf.Either the clamping rail or the clamping strip is firmly connected to an opening of the opposite edge portion of the film bag and has an engaging portion which allows a rotational movement of the connected part for rolling up the film bag on the connected part. The connection is preferably by gluing or welding. The engaging portion is formed so as to facilitate the rotational movement for the user. Preferably, the engaging portion is in the form of a ball, a wheel, a cross, a wing or a strip.

Der andere, zur Klemmschiene oder dem Klemmstreifen korrespondierende Teil des Trennelements kann als loses Teil vorliegen oder ebenfalls außen an einer der Flachseiten des Folienbeutels befestigt sein, beispielsweise durch Verkleben oder Verschweißen mit der Folienwand.The other, corresponding to the clamping rail or the clamping strip part of the separating element may be present as a loose part or also be attached to the outside of one of the flat sides of the film bag, for example by gluing or welding to the film wall.

Zur flüssigkeitsdichten Abtrennung einer Kammer vom restlichen Beutelinhalt wird der Folienbeutel mit einer Flachseite auf die Längsnut der Klemmschiene aufgelegt und der Klemmstreifen nach Umschlagen des Folienbeutels von der anderen Flachseite des Folienbeutels aus in die Längsnut eingedrückt. Dadurch werden die einander gegenüberliegenden Folienwände des Folienbeutels zusammengepresst und es entsteht eine flüssigkeitsdichte Trennung der an den Klemmverschluss angrenzenden Kammern im Folienbeutel.For liquid-tight separation of a chamber from the remaining bag contents of the film bag is placed with a flat side on the longitudinal groove of the clamping rail and pressed the clamping strip after turning over the foil bag from the other flat side of the foil bag in the longitudinal groove. As a result, the opposing film walls of the film bag are pressed together and there is a liquid-tight separation of adjacent to the clamp closures in the film bag.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform können Zwangsmischverbindungen im Bereich des Trennelements vorgesehen sein, die eine schnellere und homogenere Vermischung der Komponenten ermöglichen. Insbesondere können im Bereich des Trennelements feste Stege zwischen den einander gegenüberliegenden Folienwänden des Folienbeutels vorgesehen sein, oder es können Schweißnähte vorgesehen sein, die beim Druck auf eine der Kammern bestehen bleiben und nicht aufreißen.According to a further embodiment, compulsory mixing compounds may be provided in the region of the separating element, which allow a faster and more homogeneous mixing of the components. In particular, solid webs may be provided between the opposing film walls of the film bag in the region of the separating element, or weld seams may be provided which remain when pressure is applied to one of the chambers and do not tear open.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist somit auch eine Verwendung des Mehrkammer-Folienbeutels zur Verpackung und/oder Verarbeitung einer härtbaren Mehrkomponentenmasse und insbesondere eines anorganischen Mehrkomponenten-Schaumsystems.The invention thus also provides a use of the multi-chamber foil bag for packaging and / or processing a curable multi-component material and in particular an inorganic multi-component foam system.

Unter Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Mehrkammer-Folienbeutels kann eine härtbare Mehrkomponentenmasse hergestellt und verarbeitet werden, wobei eine der Kammern des Mehrkammer-Folienbeutels mit einer reaktiven Komponente und eine andere Kammer mit einer Härterkomponente für die reaktive Komponente gefüllt wird, wobei die Kammern in einem ersten Lagerzustand durch wenigstens ein Trennelement flüssigkeitsdicht voneinander getrennt werden, und wobei in einem zweiten Gebrauchszustand durch Öffnen des Trennelements eine Strömungsverbindung zwischen den Kammern bereitgestellt und die reaktive Komponente im Folienbeutel mit der Härterkomponente gemischt wird. Nach dem Mischen der Komponenten wird der Öffnungsabschnitt geöffnet und der Folienbeutel in Richtung auf den Öffnungsabschnitt auf die Klemmschiene oder den Klemmstreifen aufgerollt, so dass die gemischtem Komponenten aus dem Öffnungsabschnitt ausgepresst werden.Using the multichamber foil pouch of the invention, a curable multicomponent mass can be prepared and processed, wherein one of the chambers of the multichamber foil pouch is filled with a reactive component and another chamber is filled with a reactive component hardener component, the chambers undergoing a first storage condition at least one separating element are liquid-tightly separated from one another, and wherein in a second state of use by opening the separating element provides a flow connection between the chambers and the reactive component is mixed in the film bag with the hardener component. After mixing the components, the opening portion is opened and the film bag is rolled toward the opening portion on the clamping rail or the clamping strip, so that the mixed components are squeezed out of the opening portion.

Die härtbare Mehrkomponentenmasse ist vorzugsweise ein chemischer Anker oder ein anorganisches Mehrkomponenten-Schaumsystem, weiter bevorzugt ein anorganisches Zweikomponenten-Schaumsystem und insbesondere ein anorganischer Brandschutzschaum.The curable multicomponent composition is preferably a chemical anchor or a multi-component inorganic foam system, more preferably an inorganic two-component foam system and in particular an inorganic fire-resistant foam.

Die Verwendung von Düsenspitzen mit einer spitz oder konisch zulaufenden Auspressöffnung und einem vorgegebenen Öffnungsquerschnitt ermöglicht ein gezieltes Einbringen des Schaumsystems auch in enge Spalte mit schlechter Zugänglichkeit. Die Düsenspitzen können mit Schwächungszonen versehen sein, so dass zum Öffnen der Auspressspitzen keine Schere oder kein Messer benötigt wird. Somit können beispielsweise Öffnungen schnell, einfach und kostengünstig mit der härtbaren Mehrkomponentenmasse ausgefüllt werden.The use of nozzle tips with a pointed or tapered discharge opening and a predetermined opening cross-section allows targeted introduction of the foam system in narrow gaps with poor accessibility. The nozzle tips can be provided with weakening zones, so that no scissors or knife is needed to open the extrusion tips. Thus, for example, openings can be filled quickly, easily and inexpensively with the curable multi-component compound.

Bevorzugt erfolgt das Vermischen der Komponenten im Gebrauchszustand durch manuelles Kneten der Masse im verschlossenen Folienbeutel.The mixing of the components in the use state preferably takes place by manual kneading of the mass in the closed foil bag.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Mehrkammer-Folienbeutel 10 weist zwei Kammern 12, 14 auf, wobei die Kammer 12 mit einer reaktiven Komponente 16 und die Kammer 14 mit einer Härterkomponente 18 für die erste Komponente gefüllt ist.The in FIG. 1 shown multi-chamber foil pouch 10 has two chambers 12, 14, wherein the chamber 12 is filled with a reactive component 16 and the chamber 14 with a hardener component 18 for the first component.

Der Mehrkammer-Folienbeutel 10 ist hier als Flachbeutel aus Kunststoff mit fest verschweißtem Seitenrand 20 dargestellt. Alternativ kann auch ein Schlauchbeutel verwendet werden, der dann keinen verschweißten Seitenrand 20 aufweist, sondern nur an den Enden des Schlauchs verschlossen, vorzugsweise verschweißt, ist.The multi-chamber foil bag 10 is shown here as a plastic flat bag with firmly welded side edge 20. Alternatively, a tubular bag can be used, which then has no welded side edge 20, but closed only at the ends of the tube, preferably welded, is.

In der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform grenzen die zwei Kammern 12, 14 direkt aneinander an. Diese Ausführungsform bietet sich für alle Anwendungen mit physikalisch gut vermischbaren Komponenten an, wie beispielsweise niederviskose Komponenten oder eine niederviskose Komponente und eine pastöse oder pulverförmige Komponente.In the in FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment, the two chambers 12, 14 directly adjacent to each other. This embodiment is suitable for all applications with physically well miscible components, such as low-viscosity components or a low-viscosity component and a pasty or powdery component.

Der Beutel 10 ist in Figur 1 im Gebrauchszustand mit geöffnetem Trennelement 22 dargestellt. Das Trennelement 22 umfasst eine Klemmschiene 24 mit Längsnut 26 und einen Klemmstreifen 28. In der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der Klemmstreifen 28 fest mit einem dem Öffnungsabschnitt 30 entgegengesetzten Rand 32 des Folienbeutels 10 verbunden und weist einen Angriffsabschnitt 34 auf. Die Klemmschiene 24 kann als separates, loses Teil bereitgestellt werden oder mit dem Folienbeutel 10 verbunden sein, beispielsweise durch Aufkleben auf eine äußere Folienwand des Folienbeutels. Alternativ kann auch die Klemmschiene 24 fest mit dem Rand 32 verbunden sein und den Angriffsabschnitt 34 aufweisen. In diesem Fall kann der Klemmstreifen 28 als loses Teil vorliegen oder mit dem Folienbeutel verbunden sein. Gezeigt ist die zum vereinfachten Öffnen des Beutels am Öffnungsabschnitt 30 ausgebildete Reißnaht 38. Diese kann vorteilhafterweise durch eine Einkerbung ergänzt oder ersetzt werden.The bag 10 is in FIG. 1 shown in use with open partition 22. The separating element 22 comprises a clamping rail 24 with longitudinal groove 26 and a clamping strip 28. In the embodiment shown here, the clamping strip 28 is fixedly connected to an opening portion 30 opposite edge 32 of the film bag 10 and has an engaging portion 34. The clamping rail 24 may be provided as a separate, loose part or be connected to the foil bag 10, for example by sticking to an outer foil wall of the foil bag. Alternatively, the clamping rail 24 may be fixedly connected to the edge 32 and have the engaging portion 34. In this case, the clamping strip 28 may be present as a loose part or connected to the foil bag. Shown is the simplified opening of the bag at the opening portion 30 trained tear seam 38. This can be advantageously supplemented or replaced by a notch.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Seitenansicht des in Figur 1 beschriebenen Beutels 10 im Lagerzustand mit geschlossenem Trennelement 22. Der Beutel 10 ist im Bereich der Kammer 12 eingeschlagen, und die Kammern 12, 14 sind durch das geschlossene Trennelement 22 flüssigkeitsdicht voneinander getrennt. Eine Flachseite des Folienbeutels 10 liegt auf der Längsnut 26 der Klemmschiene 24 auf. Der mit dem Rand 32 verbundene Klemmstreifen 28 ist von der entgegengesetzten Flachseite des Folienbeutels 10 in die Längsnut 26 eingesetzt und presst die zwischen dem Klemmstreifen 28 und der Klemmschiene 24 liegenden Folienwände des Folienbeutels 10 in der Längsnut 26 zusammen. Das Trennelement 22 trennt somit die Kammern 12, 14 flüssigkeitsdicht voneinander ab. FIG. 2 shows a side view of the in FIG. 1 The bag 10 is hammered in the region of the chamber 12, and the chambers 12, 14 are liquid-tight separated from each other by the closed partition member 22. A flat side of the film bag 10 rests on the longitudinal groove 26 of the clamping rail 24. The clamping strip 28 connected to the edge 32 is inserted from the opposite flat side of the film bag 10 into the longitudinal groove 26 and presses the film walls of the film bag 10 lying in the longitudinal groove 26 between the clamping strip 28 and the clamping rail 24. The separating element 22 thus separates the chambers 12, 14 from each other in a liquid-tight manner.

Im Bereich des Trennelements 22 können weiter Zwangsmischverbindungen (nicht gezeigt) in Form von unterbrochenen Schweißnähten vorgesehen sein, die nach dem Öffnen des Trennelements 22 im Gebrauchszustand des Folienbeutels 10 für eine Zwangsmischung der Komponenten in den Kammern 12, 14 sorgen.In the region of the separating element 22 further compulsory mixing connections (not shown) in the form of interrupted welds can be provided which, after the opening of the separating element 22 in the use state of the foil bag 10, provide for a compulsory mixing of the components in the chambers 12, 14.

In Figur 3 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform des Folienbeutels 10 mit geöffnetem Trennelement 22 gezeigt. In dieser Ausführungsform sind die Kammern 12, 14 in einem Abstand voneinander angeordnet. Zwischen den Kammern 12, 14 befindet sich ein Beutelabschnitt 40 mit verringertem Querschnitt. Hierdurch wird ein besseres Durchmischen erreicht, da die Masse wechselseitig durch eine Verengung gedrückt werden kann. Diese Ausführungsform ermöglicht somit das Mischen sehr viskoser Komponenten.In FIG. 3 a further embodiment of the film bag 10 is shown with the separating element 22 open. In this embodiment, the chambers 12, 14 are arranged at a distance from each other. Between the chambers 12, 14 is a bag section 40 of reduced cross-section. As a result, a better mixing is achieved because the mass can be mutually pressed by a constriction. This embodiment thus enables the mixing of very viscous components.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist die Härterkomponente 18 in der Kammer 14 durch ein weiteres Trennelement 36, hier durch eine heißgesiegelte Peelnaht, begrenzt und flüssigkeitsdicht von dem Beutelabschnitt 40 mit verringertem Querschnitt getrennt. Alternativ kann hier auch eine Klemmnaht wie ein Lippenverschluss oder ein Zipperverschluss vorgesehen sein. Es ist auch möglich das weitere Trennelement 36 durch eine Klemmschiene auszubilden, in die ein Klemmstreifen eingesetzt ist, wodurch die Kammer 14 vom restlichen Beutelinhalt abgetrennt wird. Die Klemmschiene und/oder der Klemmstreifen können als lose Teile vorliegen oder am Folienbeutel befestigt sein. Bei Zweikomponentensystemen kann das weitere Trennelement 36 auch entfallen.In the embodiment shown, the hardener component 18 in the chamber 14 is bounded by a further separating element 36, here by a heat-sealed peel seam, and is liquid-tightly separated from the bag section 40 of reduced cross-section. Alternatively, a clamping seam such as a lip closure or a zipper closure can also be provided here. It is also possible to form the further separating element 36 by a clamping rail, in which a clamping strip is inserted, whereby the chamber 14 is separated from the rest of the bag contents. The clamping rail and / or the clamping strip may be present as loose parts or attached to the foil bag. In two-component systems, the further separating element 36 can also be omitted.

Zur Herstellung und Verarbeitung der härtbaren Mehrkomponentenmasse wird eine der Kammern 12, 14 des Mehrkammer-Folienbeutels 10 mit einer reaktiven Komponente 16 und die andere Kammer 12, 14 mit einer Härterkomponente 18 für die reaktive Komponente 16 gefüllt. Im Lagerzustand sind die Kammern 12, 14 durch das Trennelement 22 flüssigkeitsdicht voneinander getrennt. Dazu wird die Klemmschiene 24 auf eine Flachseite des Folienbeutels 10 aufgelegt und der Folienbeutel 10 von der entgegengesetzten Flachseite des Folienbeutels 10 aus durch Eindrücken des Klemmstreifens 28 in die Längsnut 26 der Klemmschiene 24 gehalten (Fig.2). Es entstehen so zwei getrennte Kammern 12, 14, die durch das Zusammenpressen der Folienwände des Folienbeutels 10 in der Längsnut 26 der Klemmschiene 24 flüssigkeitsdicht voneinander getrennt sind.For the preparation and processing of the curable multicomponent composition is one of the chambers 12, 14 of the multi-chamber foil bag 10 with a reactive component 16 and the other chamber 12, 14 filled with a hardener component 18 for the reactive component 16. In the storage state, the chambers 12, 14 separated by the separating element 22 liquid-tight from each other. For this purpose, the clamping rail 24 is placed on a flat side of the film bag 10 and the film bag 10 held by the opposite flat side of the film bag 10 by pressing the clamping strip 28 in the longitudinal groove 26 of the clamping rail 24 ( Fig.2 ). This results in two separate chambers 12, 14 which are liquid-tightly separated from each other by the compression of the film walls of the film bag 10 in the longitudinal groove 26 of the clamping rail 24.

Zur Überführung des in Fig. 1 gezeigten Folienbeutels in den Gebrauchszustand, wenn die härtbare Masse verarbeitet und in bauseitige Öffnungen eingefüllt werden soll, wird das Trennelements 22 durch Entfernen des Klemmstreifens 28 aus der Längsnut 26 der Klemmschiene 24 geöffnet und so eine Strömungsverbindung zwischen den Kammern 12, 14 bereitgestellt. Die reaktive Komponente 16 wird mit der Härterkomponente 18 bei geschlossenem Folienbeutel 10 durch manuelles Kneten gemischt. Nach dem Mischen der Komponenten 16, 18 wird der Öffnungsabschnitt 30 durch Aufreißen an der Reißnaht 38 geöffnet und der Folienbeutel 10 vom Rand 32 aus in Richtung auf den Öffnungsabschnitt 30 auf die Klemmschiene 24 oder den Klemmstreifen 28 aufgerollt. Das Aufrollen kann über den Angriffsabschnitt 34 mit einer Hand erfolgen, während der Öffnungsabschnitt mit der anderen Hand an beziehungsweise in der zu füllenden Öffnung geführt wird. Durch das Auffrollen des Folienbeutels auf den Klemmstreifen 28 oder die Klemmschiene 24 wird so die gemischte härtbare Masse aus dem Öffnungsabschnitt 30 ausgepresst und in die bauseitige Öffnung eingebracht. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Folienbeutel ist eine nahezu vollständige Restentleerung möglich. Es fällt somit weniger Abfall an und die Herstellungskosten pro zu verfüllender Öffnung können deutlich reduziert werden.To transfer the in Fig. 1 shown film bag in the use state, when the curable composition to be processed and filled in on-site openings, the separating element 22 is opened by removing the clamping strip 28 from the longitudinal groove 26 of the clamping rail 24 and so a flow connection between the chambers 12, 14 is provided. The reactive component 16 is mixed with the hardener component 18 with closed film bag 10 by manual kneading. After mixing the components 16, 18 of the opening portion 30 is opened by tearing at the tear seam 38 and the film bag 10 from the edge 32 in the direction of the opening portion 30 on the clamping rail 24 or the clamping strip 28 rolled up. The rolling can take place via the engagement section 34 with one hand while the opening section is guided with the other hand on or in the opening to be filled.
