Abstract

PURPOSE:To impart impermeability and flexibility to a barrier layer to be formed by coating and to obviate the generation of cracking by specifying the resin to form the barrier layer on the inside surface of a plastic tank. CONSTITUTION:Oxygen converted to plasma is introduced through holes 10 connected to the bottom ends of respective plasma generating furnace 8 facing the inside of a chamber 2. The gaseous pressure in the chamber 2 is evacuated to a vacuum and the inside surface of the tank W is subjected to a plasma treatment. Molten liquid nylon soluble in alcohol is coated on the inside surface of the tank W to form a nylon layer. The tank W is conducted to a drying furnace and is dried by heating to evaporate the alcohol in the nylon layer, by which the barrier layer made of the liquid impermeable nylon is formed. The resultant barrier layer is provided with both the impermeability and flexibility and does not crack even if exerted with impact.

(Prior art) Plastics are generally used in various industrial fields because they are lightweight and have a high degree of freedom in molding. However, on the other hand, they have the disadvantage of being easily permeable to liquids, so they cannot be used to store liquids. For example, when molding a Ganlin tank for a vehicle such as an automobile using Plus Deck, the inner surface of the tank is coated with, for example, epoxy resin to form a liquid-impermeable film or barrier layer to prevent gasoline from permeating. are doing. Gasoline tanks usually require strength and rigidity, so plastics with excellent mechanical strength, such as polyolefin resins such as high-density polyethylene and polypropylene, are used, but polyolefin resins are polar or small, so they cannot be bonded. I tend to lack sex. Therefore, in order to improve this drawback, for example, the inner surface of the tank is treated with fluorine to improve the adhesion of the barrier layer. On the other hand, there is also a method of creating a sandwich structure by interposing a resin with excellent impermeability such as nylon as an intermediate layer using a multilayer blow molding method.

Therefore, as a method different from the above-mentioned methods, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-81344, the inner surface of a plastic gasoline tank is treated with plasma to construct the tank. It is known to activate the polar groups of the plastic, thereby improving the adhesion of the epoxy resin to the tank and forming a barrier layer on the inner surface of the tank.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, since the barrier layer of the gasoline tank manufactured by the above-mentioned conventional method is formed of epoxy resin, it has poor flexibility, and if an external impact is applied, the barrier layer will break. There was a problem in that cracks formed in the fuel tank and gasoline seeped through the cracks and permeated into the gasoline tank.

As a result, even if the tank is subjected to an external impact, the barrier layer absorbs and alleviates the impact and does not cause cracks, thus maintaining stable liquid impermeability over a long period of time. The objective is to obtain a plastic tank that can be held in place.
