Description

MATIERE PLASTIQUE À HAUTE TENEUR EN PLA COMPRENANT UN ESTER DE  HIGH PLA CONTENT PLASTIC COMPRISING ESTER OF
CITRATE  CITRATE
DOMAINE DE L'INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention concerne une composition de matière plastique à base de polyesters biodégradables et biosourcés, en particulier pour la préparation de films de matière plastique.  The present invention relates to a plastic composition based on biodegradable and biobased polyesters, in particular for the preparation of plastic films.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE STATE OF THE ART
On connaît des films biosourcés et biodégradables, à base d’amidons ou de dérivés d’amidons et de polyesters, notamment des films monocouches ou multicouches, employés en particulier pour la fabrication de sacs de matière plastique. Ces sacs sont notamment employés pour l’emballage de produits alimentaires, en particulier les fruits et légumes.  Biobased and biodegradable films are known, based on starches or on derivatives of starches and polyesters, in particular monolayer or multilayer films, used in particular for the manufacture of plastic bags. These bags are used in particular for packaging food products, in particular fruit and vegetables.
On citera notamment les films décrits dans les brevets et demandes de brevets US 6,841 ,597, US 5,436,078, WO 2007/1 18828, WO 2002/059202, WO 2002/059199, WO 2002/059198, US 9,096,758, WO 2004/052646 et CN 106881929. Les matériaux biosourcés et/ou biodégradables employés pour conserver les propriétés mécaniques adaptées à leur utilisation restent onéreux.  Mention will in particular be made of the films described in the patents and patent applications US 6,841, 597, US 5,436,078, WO 2007/1 18828, WO 2002/059202, WO 2002/059199, WO 2002/059198, US 9,096,758, WO 2004/052646 and CN 106881929. The bio-based and / or biodegradable materials used to maintain the mechanical properties suitable for their use remain expensive.
L’augmentation de la teneur en PLA (acide polylactique) permet d’augmenter la teneur en matériaux biosourcés moins onéreux, comme par exemple dans des compositions de résines biodégradables (WO 2018/056539). Cette augmentation de la teneur en PLA nécessite généralement d’employer un agent compatibilisant pour permettre le mélange du PLA avec un autre polyester, comme le PBAT (polybutylène adipate téréphthalate). De tels compatibilisants sont connus pour cet usage, notamment les polyacrylates, comme les produits commercialisés sous les dénominations Joncryl® ADR (Dong & al., International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013, 14, 20189-20203 ; Ojijo & al., Polymer 2015, 80, 1 -17; EP 1 699 872; EP 2 258 775; EP 2 679 633; WO 2013/164743; WO 2015/057694 ; US 7 448 510 ; US 2012/232191 ; US 7 368 503)  The increase in the content of PLA (polylactic acid) makes it possible to increase the content of less expensive bio-based materials, such as, for example, in biodegradable resin compositions (WO 2018/056539). This increase in the PLA content generally requires the use of a compatibilizing agent to allow the PLA to be mixed with another polyester, such as PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate). Such compatibilizers are known for this use, in particular polyacrylates, such as the products marketed under the names Joncryl® ADR (Dong & al., International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013, 14, 20189-20203; Ojijo & al., Polymer 2015 , 80, 1 -17; EP 1 699 872; EP 2 258 775; EP 2 679 633; WO 2013/164743; WO 2015/057694; US 7 448 510; US 2012/232191; US 7 368 503)
Toutefois, l’augmentation de la teneur en PLA se fait au détriment des propriétés mécaniques des produits préparés avec ces compositions polymères. Ainsi, les films obtenus avec de telles compositions à forte teneur en PLA et malgré l’ajout d’agent compatibilisant ont des propriétés mécaniques diminuées par rapport à des films avec moins de PLA, notamment en termes d’allongement à la rupture et de résistance au déchirement. De fait, augmenter la teneur en PLA dans les compositions de l’état de la technique ne permet pas de répondre au cahier des charges de la sacherie. L’invention vient résoudre ce problème technique en ajoutant un plastifiant particulier au mélange de polyesters et de compatibilisant. However, the increase in the PLA content occurs at the expense of the mechanical properties of the products prepared with these polymer compositions. Thus, the films obtained with such compositions with a high PLA content and despite the addition of compatibilizing agent have reduced mechanical properties compared to films with less PLA, in particular in terms of elongation at break and of strength. tearing. In fact, increasing the PLA content in the compositions of the prior art does not make it possible to meet the specifications of the sacherie. The invention solves this technical problem by adding a particular plasticizer to the mixture of polyesters and compatibilizer.

La préparation de la composition se fait selon les méthodes usuelles de la technique, en particulier par extrusion. Le mélange fondu extrudé est ensuite refroidi pour former des granules puis est généralement transformé en un article final de forme particulière (films, pièces souples ou solides).  The preparation of the composition is carried out according to the usual methods of the technique, in particular by extrusion. The extruded molten mixture is then cooled to form granules and is generally transformed into a final article of particular shape (films, flexible or solid parts).
Lorsque les articles préparés avec la composition selon l’invention comprennent également des enzymes dégradant les polyesters telles que définis ci-dessus, ces dernières sont ajoutées soit au moment de la préparation de la composition, soit au moment de la préparation des articles finaux en mélangeant des granulés de composition selon l’invention, et les enzymes sous une forme appropriée à leur incorporation et selon les méthodes usuelles connues de l’homme du métier.  When the articles prepared with the composition according to the invention also comprise enzymes degrading the polyesters as defined above, the latter are added either at the time of the preparation of the composition, or at the time of the preparation of the final articles by mixing granules of composition according to the invention, and the enzymes in a form suitable for their incorporation and according to the usual methods known to those skilled in the art.
Pour faciliter l’incorporation des enzymes à la composition selon l’invention, on emploiera avantageusement ces dernières sous forme d’une composition adaptée, qui permet à la fois la conservation et le transport des enzymes, mais également favorise leur incorporation en prévenant leur dégradation au cours de cette étape d’incorporation. De telles compositions sont connues de l’homme du métier, et notamment décrites dans les demandes de brevet WO 2019/043145 et WO 2019/043134. To facilitate the incorporation of the enzymes into the composition according to the invention, the latter will advantageously be used in the form of a suitable composition, which allows both the preservation and the transport of the enzymes, but also promotes their incorporation by preventing their degradation during this incorporation step. Such compositions are known to those skilled in the art, and in particular described in patent applications WO 2019/043145 and WO 2019/043134.
En particulier, l’ajout d’enzymes à la composition selon l’invention peut se faire avantageusement comme suit : mélange entre 80% et 98% d’une composition selon l’invention, avec entre 2% et 20% d’une composition comprenant une enzyme dégradant le polyester et en particulier le PLA, les pourcentages étant donnés en poids par rapport au poids de la composition finale.  In particular, the addition of enzymes to the composition according to the invention can advantageously be carried out as follows: mixture between 80% and 98% of a composition according to the invention, with between 2% and 20% of a composition comprising an enzyme degrading the polyester and in particular the PLA, the percentages being given by weight relative to the weight of the final composition.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, la composition est sous forme de granulés préparés selon les techniques usuelles. Ces granulés pourront être stockés, transportés, comme granulés entrant dans la fabrication de produits en matière plastique, quelle que soit leur forme et leur utilisation, que l’on peut appeler « articles finaux ». Il peut s’agir de films, ou de pièces souples ou solides de formes et volumes adaptés à leurs usages.  According to a first embodiment, the composition is in the form of granules prepared according to the usual techniques. These granules may be stored, transported, as granules used in the manufacture of plastic products, whatever their form and use, which can be called "final articles". They can be films, or flexible or solid parts of shapes and volumes adapted to their uses.
Les méthodes de préparation de ces articles finaux sont bien connues de l’homme du métier, comprenant en particulier les techniques usuelles de la plasturgie telles que l’extrusion-gonflage, l’extrusion-soufflage, l’extrusion de film coulé, le calandrage et le thermoformage, le moulage par injection, le moulage par compression, le rotomoulage, le revêtement, la stratification, l’expansion, la pultrusion, la compression-granulation.

The films according to the invention can be produced according to the usual methods of the technique, in particular by extrusion-inflation. The films can be prepared directly at the outlet of the extrusion die used for the preparation of the composition according to the invention, or also from granules of composition according to the invention which are melted according to the usual techniques, in particular by extrusion.
L’invention concerne donc également un film de composition telle que définie précédemment, avec ou sans enzymes. Les films selon l’invention peuvent être des films monocouches ou multicouches. Dans le cas d’un film multicouche, au moins une des couches est de composition telle que définie précédemment.  The invention therefore also relates to a film of composition as defined above, with or without enzymes. The films according to the invention can be monolayer or multilayer films. In the case of a multilayer film, at least one of the layers has a composition as defined above.
La composition selon l’invention est particulièrement adaptée pour être associée avec des enzymes dégradant les polyesters pour la fabrication de films plastiques biodégradables. Les films plastiques, en particulier les films monocouches, de composition telle que définie précédemment, ont à la fois une forte teneur en PLA et conservent des propriétés mécaniques telles que recherchées pour la préparation de sacs biodégradables et biosourcés, notamment pour le conditionnement, les films de paillage, l’emballage de produits non alimentaires ou de produits alimentaires. The composition according to the invention is particularly suitable for being combined with enzymes degrading polyesters for the production of biodegradable plastic films. Plastic films, in particular monolayer films, of composition as defined above, have both a high PLA content and retain mechanical properties as sought for the preparation of biodegradable and bio-based bags, in particular for packaging, films mulching, packaging of non-food or food products.
A cet effet, les constituants de la composition selon l’invention seront préférentiellement choisis parmi les produits compatibles avec un usage alimentaire.  To this end, the constituents of the composition according to the invention will preferably be chosen from products compatible with food use.
Les films selon l’invention ont avantageusement une épaisseur inférieure à 100 pm, plus avantageusement inférieure à 50 pm, 40 pm ou 30 pm, préférentiellement inférieure à 20 pm, en particulier de 10 à 20 pm , plus préférentiellement de 6 à 20 pm.  The films according to the invention advantageously have a thickness of less than 100 μm, more advantageously less than 50 μm, 40 μm or 30 μm, preferably less than 20 μm, in particular from 10 to 20 μm, more preferably from 6 to 20 μm.

EXEMPLES  EXAMPLES
Exemple 1 :  Example 1:
A) Production des compositions  A) Production of the compositions
Les compositions ont été produites sur une extrudeuse bi-vis co-rotative Leistritz ZSE 18MAXX. Les matières solides telles que les polymères et le compatibilisant ont été introduits en utilisant un ou deux doseurs gravimétriques en fonction de la composition. En effet, pour les compositions comportant le compatibilisant Joncryl® ADR 4468 C, d’abord le mélange PLA et compatibilisant a été introduit en début d’extrudeuse via un premier doseur, ensuite le PBAT a été introduit de manière retardée via un deuxième doseur. Pour les compositions sans compatibilisant, le PLA (4043D) et le PBAT (Ecoflex® C1200) ont été mélangés puis introduits avec un doseur dès le début de l’extrusion. Le TBAC (Citrofol® BII) a été introduit avec une pompe pour liquide Brabender dès le début de l’extrusion. Le CaC03 a été introduit avec un doseur gravimétrique en zone 7/10. The compositions were produced on a Leistritz ZSE 18MAXX co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Solid materials such as polymers and compatibilizer were introduced using one or two gravimetric dosers depending on the composition. Indeed, for the compositions comprising the compatibilizer Joncryl® ADR 4468 C, first the PLA and compatibilizer mixture was introduced at the start of the extruder via a first dispenser, then the PBAT was introduced in a delayed manner via a second dispenser. For the compositions without compatibilizer, the PLA (4043D) and the PBAT (Ecoflex® C1200) were mixed and then introduced with a dispenser from the start of the extrusion. TBAC (Citrofol® BII) was introduced with a Brabender liquid pump from the start of extrusion. CaC03 was introduced with a gravimetric doser in zone 7/10.
Toutes les compositions ont été préparées dans les mêmes conditions de procédé avec une vitesse de vis de 70 tpm et à un débit de 2 à 4 kg/h.  All the compositions were prepared under the same process conditions with a screw speed of 70 rpm and at a flow rate of 2 to 4 kg / h.
Les paramètres utilisés pour l’extrusion des compositions sont présentés dans le tableau 1.  The parameters used for the extrusion of the compositions are presented in Table 1.

Le mélange des composants arrive à l’état fondu dans la dernière zone de la bivis qui comporte une filière avec un trou de diamètre 3,5 mm et est immédiatement immergé dans un bac à eau de 2 m et amené à un granulateur pour obtenir des granulés cylindriques de diamètre inférieur à 3 mm. The mixture of components arrives in the molten state in the last zone of the twin-screw which comprises a die with a hole with a diameter of 3.5 mm and is immediately immersed in a 2 m water tank and brought to a granulator to obtain cylindrical granules with a diameter of less than 3 mm.
Les granulés obtenus ont les compositions décrites dans le tableau 2 (% en poids par rapport au poids total de la composition)  The granules obtained have the compositions described in table 2 (% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition)

B) Production des films avec les compositions décrites dans A) B) Production of films with the compositions described in A)
Les compositions 1 à 6 préparées dans A) ont été utilisées pour la préparation de films. Pour l’extrusion gonflage, une ligne de laboratoire LabTech LF-250, laize 20 mm, vis de 30 L/D type LBE20-30/C a été utilisée. Avant l’extrusion gonflage les compositions ont été séchées au dessiccateur 4 h à 80 °C. La vitesse de vis était de 60 tpm. Le taux de gonflage était d’environ 5. Compositions 1 to 6 prepared in A) were used for the preparation of films. For the inflation extrusion, a LabTech LF-250 laboratory line, 20 mm wide, 30 L / D screw type LBE20-30 / C was used. Before the swelling extrusion, the compositions were dried in a desiccator for 4 hours at 80 ° C. The screw speed was 60 rpm. The inflation rate was around 5.
Les réglages des températures d’extrusion gonflage sont détaillés dans le tableau 3.  The inflation extrusion temperature settings are detailed in Table 3.

C) Caractérisation des propriétés mécaniques en traction simple et en déchirement C) Characterization of the mechanical properties in simple traction and in tearing
Les films ont ensuite été caractérisés mécaniquement en traction simple et en déchirure à l’aide d’une machine d’essai Zwick équipée d’un capteur de 50 N. Les conditions expérimentales par type d’essai sont résumées dans le tableau 5.  The films were then mechanically characterized in simple traction and in tearing using a Zwick test machine equipped with a 50 N sensor. The experimental conditions by type of test are summarized in Table 5.
Une éprouvette de type « pantalon » est utilisée pour le test de déchirure.  A “pants” type test piece is used for the tear test.
Deux critères importants du domaine applicatif de la sacherie sont l’allongement à la rupture et la résistance à la déchirure. La déchirure n’est caractérisée que dans le sens transversal du film.  Two important criteria in the field of bag making are elongation at break and resistance to tearing. The tear is only characterized in the transverse direction of the film.
Tableau 5  Table 5
Les résultats obtenus pour les Films 1 à 6 sont donnés dans le tableau 6 (MD = Sens Longitudinal ; TD = Sens Transversal) The results obtained for Films 1 to 6 are given in Table 6 (MD = Longitudinal Direction; TD = Transversal Direction)
Tableau 6  Table 6
Les inventeurs ont établi un cahier des charges à atteindre permettant la vente des films de l’invention dans le marché de la sacherie, à savoir qu’il est souhaitable que les films de l’invention atteignent les valeurs suivantes : The inventors established a specification to allow the films of the invention to be sold in the sack market, namely that it is desirable that the films of the invention reach the following values:
L’allongement à la rupture, qui mesure la capacité d'un matériau à s'allonger sous charge avant sa rupture : 130 % en sens longitudinal et 240 % en sens transversal mesuré selon la norme EN ISO 527-3.  Elongation at break, which measures the ability of a material to lie under load before it breaks: 130% in the longitudinal direction and 240% in the transverse direction measured according to EN ISO 527-3.
Résistance à la déchirure : 40 N/mm en Sens Transversal et mesuré selon les conditions de la norme DIN EN ISO 6383 à 200 mm/min ou dans les conditions telles que décrites dans cet exemple.  Tear resistance: 40 N / mm in the transverse direction and measured according to the conditions of standard DIN EN ISO 6383 at 200 mm / min or under the conditions as described in this example.
En comparant les propriétés des Films 1 , 2 et 3 on observe que la composition décrite dans l’invention permet d’atteindre les propriétés du cahier des charges. En effet, la présence du compatibilisant Joncryl® (Film 1 ) ou du plastifiant TBAC (Film 2) seul ne le permet pas.  By comparing the properties of Films 1, 2 and 3, it is observed that the composition described in the invention makes it possible to achieve the properties of the specifications. Indeed, the presence of the compatibilizer Joncryl® (Film 1) or the plasticizer TBAC (Film 2) alone does not allow it.
La comparaison du Film 4 (20% de PLA), avec le Film 5 (25% de PLA) et avec le Film 3 (30% de PLA) montre que la diminution du taux de PLA permet d’améliorer les propriétés discriminantes du film. D’où l’intérêt de l’invention pour augmenter le taux de PLA dans les films tout en conservant les propriétés du cahier des charges.  The comparison of Film 4 (20% PLA), with Film 5 (25% PLA) and with Film 3 (30% PLA) shows that the reduction in the PLA level makes it possible to improve the discriminating properties of the film. . Hence the interest of the invention in increasing the level of PLA in films while retaining the properties of the specifications.
En comparant les Films 6 et 7 avec les Films 4 et 5 respectivement, on montre que l’ajout des charges CaC03 entraine une légère diminution des propriétés d’allongement tout en restant dans le cahier des charges. Les films de l’invention doivent également respecter des critères de module élastique et de contrainte maximale. Les caractéristiques de module élastique et de contrainte maximale des films sont données dans le tableau 7. By comparing Films 6 and 7 with Films 4 and 5 respectively, it is shown that the addition of CaCO 3 fillers causes a slight reduction in elongation properties while remaining within the specifications. The films of the invention must also meet criteria of elastic modulus and maximum stress. The characteristics of elastic modulus and maximum stress of the films are given in table 7.
Tableau 7  Table 7
Le cahier des charges établi par les inventeurs et adapté au marché de la sacherie demande que les films atteignent les valeurs suivantes : The specifications drawn up by the inventors and adapted to the bag making market demand that the films reach the following values:
Module élastique : 200 MPa en sens longitudinal et 150 MPa en sens transversal Contrainte maximale : 15 MPa en sens longitudinal et 13 MPa en sens transversal Elastic modulus: 200 MPa in the longitudinal direction and 150 MPa in the transverse direction Maximum stress: 15 MPa in the longitudinal direction and 13 MPa in the transverse direction
Tous les films issus de l’invention présentent des propriétés de module élastique et de contrainte maximale non détériorées par rapport aux films de l’état de la technique, et correspondant aux valeurs demandées par le cahier des charges défini ci-dessus. All the films resulting from the invention have properties of elastic modulus and maximum stress not deteriorated compared to the films of the state of the art, and corresponding to the values requested by the specifications defined above.
