Abstract

The invention relates to the special use of a polymer foam inside a hermetic container filled by the forced vacuum technique in order to hold, as micro-bubbles, the gas released by a liquid during its possible degradation. Among the most advantageous applications may be mentioned the use of a container made of thin transparent plastic material containing a liquid emitting luminescence and releasing a gas during its luminescence phase. This container may be used as a communication surface by the affixing of silk-screening or of a negative film on a transparent face.

Description

La présente utilité concerne l'utilisation particulière d'une mousse polymère, de structure alvéolaire, dont Ie volume des alvéoles par rapport au volume du polymère, est compris entre 50 % et 90 %. (Ce rapport est exprimé couramment en densité, c'est à dire, dans le cas qui nous intéresse, une densité comprise entre 10 % et 50 %) dans un récipient hermétiquement clos et contenant un liquide qui, sous l'effet du vieillissement, de l'agitation ou d'une réaction chimique entrainant sa dégradation, engendre un dégagement gazeux. The present utility relates to the particular use of a polymer foam, of cellular structure, the volume of the cells of which relative to the volume of the polymer is between 50% and 90%. (This ratio is commonly expressed in density, that is to say, in the case which interests us, a density between 10% and 50%) in a hermetically closed container and containing a liquid which, under the effect of aging, agitation or a chemical reaction leading to its degradation, generates a gaseous evolution.

- Jusqu'à présent, l'utilisation de telles mousses s'applique couramment dans l'industrie, comme matériaux d'isolation ou de calage, pour l'emballage, de rembourrage pour l'industrie du meuble, etc... L'utilisation de ces mousses l'intérieur d'un récipient genre réservoir par exemple, se limite à pallier le brusque déséquilibre des masses liquides contenues dans un récipient lors de mouvements brusques du dit récipient : par exemple, en sports mécaniques, les fédérations sportives préconisent l'emploi de ces polymères a l'intérieur des réservoirs de carburant, de manière à freiner le brusque changement de répartition des masses lors d'une modification d'assiette brutale,
D'autre part, en cas de perforation du récipient, la présence de ces polymères permet de ralentir considérablement l'écoulement du liquidSontenu, qui peut être dangereux.
- Up to now, the use of such foams is commonly applied in industry, as insulation or cushioning materials, for packaging, upholstery for the furniture industry, etc. use of these foams inside a container like a tank for example, is limited to compensating for the sudden imbalance of the liquid masses contained in a container during sudden movements of said container: for example, in mechanical sports, the sports federations recommend the use of these polymers inside the fuel tanks, so as to slow down the sudden change in distribution of the masses during a sudden change in attitude,
On the other hand, in case of perforation of the container, the presence of these polymers makes it possible to considerably slow down the flow of liquidSontenu, which can be dangerous.

- On constate que, dans le cas d'un récipient hermétique pouvant se déformer si la pression intérieure est supérieure sa résistance de déformation, récipient rempli au maximum d'un liquide qui, soit par dégradation inhérente son instabilité chimique, soit dégradation provoquée par l'adjonction d'un autre composé chimique, engendre un gaz, il se crée une déformation du récipient impliquant d'une part, visuellement, la baisse du niveau du liquide et, d'autre part, la formation d'une poche gazeuse au-dessus du liquide,
Dans certains cas de réactions chimiques, le volume de gaz engendré peut être tel qu'il est nécessaire d'utiliser pour la structure du récipient un matériau suffisamment déformable pour que la pression interne engendrée par le dégagement gazeux ne fasse pas éclater le récipient qui, pour des raisons diverses, doit comporter des parois minces en matière plastique.
- It can be seen that, in the case of an airtight container which can deform if the internal pressure is higher, its deformation resistance, a container filled to the maximum with a liquid which, either by inherent degradation its chemical instability, or degradation caused by l addition of another chemical compound, generates a gas, a deformation of the container is created implying on the one hand, visually, the drop in the level of the liquid and, on the other hand, the formation of a gas pocket at the above the liquid,
In certain cases of chemical reactions, the volume of gas generated may be such that it is necessary to use for the structure of the container a material sufficiently deformable so that the internal pressure generated by the evolution of gas does not cause the container to burst, which for various reasons, must have thin plastic walls.

Les nécessités commerciales et techniques de certains produits finis ne peuvent supporter ces inconvénients.The commercial and technical requirements of certain finished products cannot withstand these drawbacks.

Le problème rencontré est triple
d'une part, la baisse visible du niveau du liquide dans un récipient dont au moins une partie est transparente,
d'autre part, la création d'une poche gazeuse au dessus du liquide,
et, encore, la déformation importante dans certains cas pouvant gêner l'esthétique du produit.
The problem encountered is threefold
on the one hand, the visible drop in the level of the liquid in a container, at least part of which is transparent,
on the other hand, the creation of a gas pocket above the liquid,
and, again, the significant deformation in certain cases which can hinder the aesthetics of the product.

La solution apportée à ces problèmes est la suivante
On incorpore dans le récipient une mousse polymère de structure alvéolaire dont la densité est comprise entre 10 et 50 %, que l'on associe à un remplissage par le vide poussé du liquide dans ledit récipient.
The solution to these problems is as follows
A polymer foam with a honeycomb structure is incorporated into the container, the density of which is between 10 and 50%, which is associated with filling by the high vacuum of the liquid in said container.

L mousse polymere occupe tout le volume intérieur du récipient. The polymer foam occupies the entire interior volume of the container.

Les constatations obtenues sont les suivantes - Lors du remplissage et uniquement sous un vide poussé (-1 bar)
les alvéoles de la mousse se vident complètement de l'air
qu'elles contiennent ; ces cavités sont parfaitement
comblées par le liquide utilisé, - Lors de la dégradation naturelle ou provoquée du liquide, le
dégagement gazeux se répartit en minuscules bulles de gaz
emprisonnées dans les multiples alvéoles de la mousse, qui,
de plus, en se compressant , empêche dans une certaine
limite la déformation des parois du récipient.
The observations obtained are as follows - During filling and only under a high vacuum (-1 bar)
the foam cells completely empty of air
they contain; these cavities are perfectly
filled with the liquid used, - During natural or induced degradation of the liquid, the
gas evolution is divided into tiny gas bubbles
trapped in the multiple cells of the foam, which,
moreover, by compressing, prevents in a certain
limits the deformation of the walls of the container.

Le résultat qui en découle est le suivant -Il n'y a pas de baisse visible du niveau du liquide -il n'y a pas formation d'une poche gazeuse, mais d'une
multitude de micro-bulles réparties uniformément
dans la mousse, qui sont-pratiquement invisibles à l'oeil
nu , surtout si une partie transparente du récipient à
un aspect mat.
The resulting result is as follows - There is no visible drop in the level of the liquid - there is no formation of a gas pocket, but a
multitude of uniformly distributed micro-bubbles
in the foam, which are almost invisible to the eye
naked, especially if a transparent part of the container
a matt appearance.

-D'autre part, le récipient qui, pour des raisons diverses,
doit comporter des parois minces, ne se déforme presque pas.
-On the other hand, the container which, for various reasons,
must have thin walls, almost does not deform.

- Cette utilité est particulièrement intéressante dans le
cas ot ce liquide emet une luminescence, car le rapport
Quantité de lumière / Surface d'émission, se trouve
préservé durant toute la phase de réaction luminescente.
- This utility is particularly interesting in the
if this liquid emits luminescence, because the ratio
Amount of light / Emission area, is
preserved throughout the luminescent reaction phase.
