Description

A METHOD FOR INHIBITING HARMFUL CHEMICALS FORMED IN MANUFACTURED AND SEMI-MANUFACTURED MATERIALS
PRODUCED FROM PET
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting acetaldehyde, carboxyl end groups, and diethylene glycol chemicals in case Mg2B20s compound in ratio of 0.2% is added into PET during injection.
Background of the Invention
Polyethylene terephthalate is polyester which has various fields of use such as beverage, food and drink containers, synthetic fiber, and which can change its form with heat treatment. The most important advantage of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is that it is a recyclable plastic. In state of the art, two different production techniques of polyethylene terephthalate are known.
a) In the first method, dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol are used. In this method, production is performed in two different ways, namely continuous and discontinuous.
b) In the second method, pure terephthalic acid is reacted with ethylene glycol.
Here, again production is performed as continuous or discontinuous.
Formula 1. PET polymerization-condensation reaction
n C6H4(C02H)2 + n HOCH2CH2OH [(C0)C6H4(C02CH2CH20)]„ + 2n H20
In Figure 1, flowchart of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) production is shown. PET is produced by using ethylene glycol, dimethyl terephthalate and pure terephthalic acid with polymerization and condensation (stepwise reaction). Polyethylene Terephthalate Bottle Production Stages
In production of PET bottle, PET preform material specifically prepared, compatible with food laws and suitable for where it is to be used. Production process of PET bottle is quite complex. The process starts with PET wastes or raw materials.
Preparation of Preform
PET resins are comprised of small particles sold as pellet. First, these pellets are melted at a specific temperature, and then transferred to the injection machine in order to produce preform. Preforms generally have test tube appearance and are in different colors depending on the characteristics of the product to be manufactured. The weight of the preforms is generally 14-103 grams. PET production starts with preform.
1. Stage: Unused and reformed pellets are mixed in the dryer. The said resin is dried such that the humidity content will be below 50 ppm.
2. Stage: A couple of hours later, the mixed resin is injected into a preform mold in order to mold and fastening.
Injection is the process of melting molding the raw plastic material. Here, the plastic cools down and takes the form of the mold. The machines which heat the plastic material up to a specific temperature and inject into the mold, and support the mechanism enabling the cooling of the material after it is filled, and enable it to be removed from the mold after it hardens are known as injection machines.
The covering force applied in the injection machine and the amount of plastic which is pressed are two important parameters enabling the classification of the machine. While the covering force varies between 10 tons and 5000 tons, the amount of plastic which can be pressed varies between a couple of grams and 40 kilograms.
The injection machine is comprised of two main parts; its first part is the part which comprises the components that melt the plastic materials and can inject into the mold. Its other part comprises the mechanisms which carry the mold and which can cover and uncover the mold, provide the molding pressure after it is covered, actuate the drivers, provide water supply and discharge for the cooling channels of the mold thereon.
Blowing of the bottle (Inflating the bottle)
The stage after forming the preform is the last stage.
1. Stage:
The preform is heated with lamps called as "heating boxes”. The assembly of the said lamps is called as profile.
2. Stage:
The preform is sent into the mold. The hot preform is stretched in the system.
3. Stage:
The stretching rod enters into the preform and stretches the preform longitudinally.
4. Stage:
Low pressurized air is blown into the preform so that the bottle takes its actual form.
5. Stage:
The high pressurized air is blown into the bottle in order to create the specific features of the bottle such as logo. 6. Stage:
The bottle takes its final form and the air therein is discharged.
Several chemicals are added inside the PET granules produced in the present production method. Some of these are UV stabilizer, others are antioxidants, and the remaining are antistatic materials. However none of these materials provide chemical stability. Therefore, chemicals having harmful effects on human health, specifically reproductive cells, such as carboxylic acid, acetaldehyde, diethylene glycol and isopthalic acid are formed during production of resin and passing to the final product from the resin. The reason for these is that the molecules forming the PET polymer are often exposed to severe process conditions such as high temperature, high shear forces at the point of chemical stability. Under these conditions, molecules having a reversible bond structure begin to decompose and therefore transform into the first chemicals forming themselves. These chemicals have harmful effects on human health. The chemical material which is the subject of the present patent reverses the said processes, and eliminates the harmful chemicals that are formed.
-CQQH End Groups
Carboxyl end groups are one of the parameters affecting the reaction speed. In general, thermal and thermal oxidative degradation and the increase of carboxyl end groups cause degradation of PET and losses in molecular weight. The thermal degradation of PET chains generally originates from the carboxyl end groups and the presence of acetaldehyde. Yellowing in the PET material is observed with the increase of carboxyl end groups and acetaldehyde.
Sami Al-AbdulRazzak and Saleh A. Jabarin (2002) showed in their study that the increase in carboxyl end groups in PET increases the moisture holding capacity of the resin. The reason for this is the hydrogen bonds formed between the carboxyl end groups and the water, the said bonds hold onto the resin and then cause water to be there more. This case enables the resin to hold more moisture, and thus enabling a medium more suitable for the realization of hydrolysis reaction to be prepared. Accordingly, the increase in number of the carboxyl end groups in PET reduces the resistance of PET against the hydrolysis. The content of the carboxyl end groups also affects the thermal stability of the PET.
DEG (Diethylene Glycol)
Diethylene glycol causes the melting point of PET to drop. DEG, which is a byproduct of polymerization reaction, is a comonomer which decreases the melting temperature. However, it is not effective in crystallization rates.
DEG comonomer is added in ratio of 5% by mole into PET in order to prevent crystallization during preform injection molding and inflation. Diethylene glycol is toxic for human beings and animals. It is a material which damages kidney and liver among its other effects.
Acetaldehyde
There is normally less than 2.5 ppm of residual acetaldehyde (A) in bottle resins. AA values are typically seen either in blown-molded jars or in small bottles with small bottle-cap distance. Excessive AA levels affect the taste of the beverages.
Acetaldehyde has a characteristic smell and taste, and its perception threshold is really small. For this reason, acetaldehyde migration may cause taste and smell changes in foods put in PET bottles. They can cause smell and taste changes even in trace amounts.
It has been found that acetaldehyde is among the compounds which are likely to show carcinogenic effects on human health.
Many researchers and institutions have stated that the acetaldehyde in PET can negatively affect the organoleptic characteristics of the product inside the bottle. Summary of the Invention
The objective of the present invention is to prevent the formation of harmful chemicals such as acetaldehyde (AA), COOH end group content (COOH), diethylene glycol (DEG) which increase with chemical degradation of PET material in the period passing from raw material to final product.
