Definitions
- This invention relates to preforms and their containers made with poly(ethylene terephthalate)-based resin compositions that possess low levels diol and acid modification, such as naphthalenedicarboxylic acid and diethylene glycol. More particularly, this invention relates to low stretch ratio preforms and their containers, which exhibit enhanced mechanical properties relative to containers made using conventional poly(ethylene terephthalate)-based resin compositions.
- PET Poly(ethylene terephthalate)-based resins
- PET Poly(ethylene terephthalate)-based resins
- Source reduction is a preferred strategy for reducing the environmental impact of plastic containers. Source reduction saves resources and energy; however, with PET additional source reduction is difficult to achieve, because of the physical performance requirements necessary for the major applications for this polymer.
- the degree of material utilization is defined as the amount of unoriented polymer present in the sidewall of the container.
- the amount of material utilization is already high, and further increases offer limited opportunity for source reduction.
- the amount of material utilization is significantly lower, with degrees of material utilization typically ranging from 80 to 85 percent.
- Improving material utilization using conventional PET can be achieved by increasing the stretch ratio of the preform.
- Increasing the stretch ratio of the preform provides an added benefit by increasing the mechanical properties of the container, because the stiffness of PET is directly affected by the degree of orientation imposed by stretching the polymer.
- Increasing the preform stretch ratio necessarily means increasing the wall thickness of the preform, which adversely impacts injection molding and blow molding cycle times. This consequently consumes more energy and increases the capital and operating cost for making PET containers.
- U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,631,054 and 5,162,091 described methods to increase the mechanical properties of PET through use of specific low molecular weight additives. Those additives provided modest improvements to the tensile modulus of PET. However, the amount of additives required is high (1-5% by weight), and the additives claimed are relatively expensive compared to the cost of PET. In addition, because these additives were not part of the polymer chains, they are potentially extractable, which is detrimental to their use in food contact applications.
- the preform comprises a poly(ethylene terephthalate) copolymer (hereinafter “PET Copolymer”) comprising a diol component having repeat units from ethylene glycol and a non-ethylene glycol diol component and a diacid component having repeat units from terephthalic acid and a non-terephthalic acid diacid component.
- PET Copolymer poly(ethylene terephthalate) copolymer
- the total amount of non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid diacid component is present in the PET Copolymer in an amount from about 0.2 mole percent to less than about 2.2 mole percent.
- the mole percentages are based on 100 mole percent diacid component and 100 mole percent diol component. This definition is applicable to mole percentages throughout this specification.
- the preform, the container and corresponding methods of making each are additional embodiments of this invention.
- a preform for use in making a container comprises a PET Copolymer comprising a diol component having repeat units from ethylene glycol and a non-ethylene glycol diol component and a diacid component having repeat units from terephthalic acid and a non-terephthalic acid diacid component.
- the total amount of non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid diacid component is present in the PET Copolymer in an amount from about 0.2 mole percent to less than about 3.0 mole percent based on 100 mole percent of the diol component and 100 mole percent of the diacid component.
- the non-ethylene glycol diol component is present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 2.0 and the non-terephthalic acid diacid component is present in an about of about 0.1 to about 1.0.
- the preforms are designed to have a stretch ratio in the range from about 8 to about 12, enabling the preforms to have a reduced wall thickness.
- the cycle time for manufacture of the preforms is reduced. Because the material utilization is higher, less material needs to be used and the cost of goods is lowered, while the containers produced exhibit improved thermal stability and sidewall rigidity characteristics.
- a method for reducing the cycle time for making a container comprises the steps of:
- a PET Copolymer melt comprising a diol component having repeat units from ethylene glycol and a non-ethylene glycol diol component and a diacid component having repeat units from terephthalic acid and a non-terephthalic acid diacid component, wherein the total amount of non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid diacid component is present in the PET Copolymer in an amount from about 0.2 mole percent to less than about 2.2 mole percent,
- the cycle time for making the container is reduced as compared to a second cycle time for making a second container comprising a poly(ethylene terephthalate) resin having comonomer modification greater than about 2.2 mole percent of a combination of a non-ethylene glycol diol component and a non-terephthalic acid diacid component.
- embodiments of this invention provide two sets of improvements.
- the PET Copolymer is used with a conventional preform design to produce a container with enhanced mechanical properties, higher crystallinity and improved shelf life.
- the PET Copolymer is used with a redesigned preform that has a stretch ratio of from about 8 to about 12, a reduced preform wall thickness, and reduced cycle time to produce a container of similar or improved quality compared to a container produced using conventional PET resin and a conventional preform design.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional elevation view of an injection molded preform having an unconventional configuration in accordance with a preferred embodiment of this invention.
- a PET Copolymer is made into an injection molded preform which is then blow molded into a container.
- the preform comprises an open ended mouth forming portion, an intermediate body forming portion, and a closed base forming portion.
- the preform comprises a PET Copolymer comprising a diol component having repeat units from ethylene glycol and a non-ethylene glycol diol component and a diacid component having repeat units from terephthalic acid and a non-terephthalic acid diacid component, wherein the total amount of non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid diacid component is present in the PET Copolymer in an amount from about 0.2 mole percent to less than about 2.2 mole percent.
- the mole percentages of diol components and diacid components include all residual comonomers in the PET Copolymer composition such as those formed during or passing through the manufacturing process of the PET Copolymer.
- the PET Copolymer is based on a total of 200 mole percent including 100 mole percent of the diol component and 100 mole percent of the diacid component.
- the amount of each of the non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid diacid component in the PET Copolymer can vary to some extent within the total amount of both, which is from about 0.2 mole percent to less than about 2.2 mole percent.
- the total amount of non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid diacid component is present in the PET Copolymer in an amount from about 1.1 mole percent to about 2.1 mole percent, and even more preferably in an amount from about 1.2 mole percent to about 1.6 mole percent.
- the PET Copolymer preferably has an intrinsic viscosity (IV), measured according to ASTM D4603-96, from about 0.6 to about 1.1 dL/g, more preferably from about 0.7 to about 0.9, and even more preferably from about 0.8 to about 0.84.
- IV intrinsic viscosity
- the PET resin of this invention is a reaction grade resin, meaning that the PET resin is a direct product of a chemical reaction between comonomers and not a polymer blend.
- a preform for use in making a container comprises a PET Copolymer comprising a diol component having repeat units from ethylene glycol and a non-ethylene glycol diol component and a diacid component having repeat units from terephthalic acid and a non-terephthalic acid diacid component.
- the total amount of non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid diacid component present in the PET Copolymer is in an amount from about 0.2 mole percent to less than about 3.0 mole percent based on 100 mole percent of the diol component and 100 mole percent of the diacid component.
- the non-ethylene glycol diol component is present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 2.0 and the non-terephthalic acid diacid component is present in an about of about 0.1 to about 1.0.
- the total amount of non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid diacid component is present in an amount from about 0.2 mole percent to less than about 2.6 mole percent.
- the non-terephthalic acid diacid component can be any of a number of diacids, including adipic acid, succinic acid, isophthalic acid (IPA), phthalic acid, 4,4′-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and the like.
- the preferred non-terephthalate acid diacid component is 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (NDC).
- NDC 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid
- the non-ethylene glycol diols contemplated in this invention include cyclohexanedimethanol, propanediol, butanediol, and diethylene glycol. Of these, diethylene glycol (DEG) is preferred since it is already naturally present in the PET Copolymer.
- the non-terephthalic acid diacid component and the non-ethylene glycol diol component may also be mixtures of diacids and diols, respectively.
- the levels of DEG in PET Copolymers of the present invention range from about 0.1 to about 2.0 mole percent, which is below the typical residual levels of DEG present in the manufacture of conventional PET (hereinafter “Conventional PET”).
- Conventional PET typically contains from about 2.4 to about 2.9 mole percent DEG, which is equivalent to more commonly referenced weight percent values of about 1.3 to about 1.6.
- DEG a harmless by-product of the polymer manufacture; consequently, little effort has been directed toward reduction of DEG levels in PET intended for use in containers. Thus, modifications to the PET production process for containers must occur to achieve the lower DEG levels in the PET Copolymer of the present invention. Any method suitable for reducing DEG content of polyester can be employed.
- Suitable methods include reducing the mole ratio of diacid or diester relative to ethylene glycol in the esterification or transesterification reaction; reducing the temperature of the esterification or transesterification reaction, addition of DEG-suppressing additives, including tetra-alkyl ammonium salts and the like; and reduction of the DEG content of the ethylene glycol that is recycled back to the esterification or transesterification reaction.
- the preforms have a stretch ratio in the range from about 8 to about 12 when used to make containers, and more desirably from about 8 to about 10.
- the stretch ratio as used herein refers to the nomenclature that is well known in the art and is defined as following:
- Stretch ratio (maximum container diameter/internal preform diameter) ⁇ [(height of container below finish)/(height of preform below finish)]
- the natural stretch ratio is an inherent property of a polymer.
- the measurement of the free blow volume of a polymer relative to a preform provides a method to measure the natural stretch ratio of a polymer.
- the natural stretch ratio of a polymer influences the preform design by determining the stretch ratio limitations of a preform used in the blow molding process for making a container.
- a polymer with a lower natural stretch ratio allows a preform to be designed with a lower stretch ratio. Whenever the stretch ratio of a preform is lower, the sidewall thickness of the preform required to make a bottle of a target sidewall thickness can be reduced.
- An important factor in blow molding lightweight containers is also uniform wall thickness distribution, especially in the label panel area.
- preform dimensions such as height, inside diameter, and wall thickness can be selected so that the preform can be blow molded into a container having certain selected physical properties such as weight, height, maximum diameter, thermal stability, and sidewall rigidity.
- a method for reducing the cycle time for making a container comprises the steps of:
- a PET Copolymer melt comprising a diol component having repeat units from ethylene glycol and a non-ethylene glycol diol component and a diacid component having repeat units from terephthalic acid and a non-terephthalic acid diacid component, wherein the total amount of non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid diacid component is present in the PET Copolymer in an amount from about 0.2 mole percent to less than about 2.2 mole percent,
- the cycle time for making the container according to the steps above is reduced as compared to a second cycle time for making a second container comprising a poly(ethylene terephthalate) resin having comonomer modification greater than about 2.2 mole percent of a combination of a non-ethylene glycol diol component and a non-terephthalic acid diacid component.
- a method for making a container comprises blow molding an injection molded preform that has an open ended mouth forming portion, an intermediate body forming portion, and a closed base forming portion,
- the preform comprises a PET Copolymer comprising a diol component having repeat units from ethylene glycol and a non-ethylene glycol diol component and a diacid component having repeat units from terephthalic acid and a non-terephthalic acid diacid component.
- the total amount of non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid diacid component present in the PET Copolymer is in an amount from about 0.2 mole percent to less than about 2.2 mole percent.
- a method for making a preform for use in making containers comprises injection molding a PET Copolymer, which comprises a diol component having repeat units from ethylene glycol and a non-ethylene glycol diol component and a diacid component having repeat units from terephthalic acid and a non-terephthalic acid diacid component.
- the total amount of non-ethylene glycol diol component and non-terephthalic acid, diacid component present in the PET Copolymer is in an amount from about 0.2 mole percent to less than about 2.2 mole percent.
- the PET Copolymer preferably comprises 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid as the non-terephthalic acid diacid component present in an amount from about 0.1 to about 1.0 mole percent and diethylene glycol as the non-ethylene glycol diol component present in the PET Copolymer in an amount from about 0.1 to about 2.0 mole percent.
- the preform has a stretch ratio in the range from about 8 to about 12 and more preferably in the range from about 8 to about 10.
- PET pellets that are obtained from a conventional polyester esterification/polycondensation process are melted and subsequently formed into preforms through an injection molding process.
- the preforms are heated in an oven to a temperature above the polymer's glass transition temperature, and then formed into containers via a blow molding process.
- the desired end result is clear containers with sufficient mechanical and barrier properties to provide appropriate protection for the contained beverage or food product.
- An important consideration in producing clear or transparent containers is to first produce clear or transparent preforms.
- thermally induced crystallization can occur in the conversion of the polymer to a preform.
- Thermally induced crystallization tends to form large crystallites in the polymer, with a concomitant formation of haze.
- the rate of thermal crystallization needs to be slow enough so that preforms with little or no crystallinity can be produced.
- both a reduced rate of thermal crystallization and an increased rate of strain-induced crystallization is unexpectedly found to occur by the comonomer modification of non-terephthalic acid diacid component at about 0.1 to about 1.0 mole percent and of non-ethylene glycol diol component at about 0.1 to about 2.0 mole percent, respectively.
- the non-terephthalic acid diacid such as NDC is believed to reduce the thermal crystallization rate due to the rigidity of the NDC moiety hindering polymer chain flexibility, and thus makes formation of crystallites more difficult.
- the addition of NDC has also been discovered to enhance the stiffness of the PET chains and results in an unexpected increase in the sidewall rigidity of the containers made from PET Copolymer.
- reducing the DEG content to less than about 2.0 mole percent in the PET Copolymer results in an increase in the rate of strain-induced crystallization relative to Conventional PET containing between 2.4 and 2.9 mole percent DEG.
- a consequence of this unique combination of low amounts of DEG and NDC, at least in preferred embodiments, is a reduction in the natural stretch ratio of PET Copolymer as compared to that of Conventional PET.
- the physical dimensions of the preform can therefore be altered so as to make a thinner walled preform that produces a lighter weight container that has an acceptable level of strength and similar container sidewall thickness compared to containers made from Conventional PET using conventional preform designs, or to make similar weight containers having a higher level of strength and greater container sidewall thickness.
- the physical properties of the preform can also be selected to reduce the preform injection molding cycle time and the container blow molding cycle time without compromising the container strength or shelf life of the container contents.
- containers that have enhanced mechanical properties, higher crystallinity, thicker sidewalls, and improved shelf-life can be made utilizing preforms that have conventional stretch ratios of about 14.
- unconventional preforms can be designed to have a longer length and thinner walls and that have a stretch ratio of from about 8 to about 12.
- Containers made using the PET Copolymer of the present invention and such unconventional preforms exhibit improved material utilization, stiffness, and higher levels of strain induced crystallinity during the blow molding process as compared to conventional preforms made from Conventional PET even when the preforms have reduced sidewall thickness and lower stretch ratios than that of conventional preforms made with Conventional PET.
- the present invention can be more fully appreciated when comparing container properties relative to the preform stretch ratio.
- a preform designed to have a stretch ratio of about 14 and a sidewall thickness of about 3.2 mm using Conventional PET having DEG content above 2.0 mole percent will result in a blow molded container having a sidewall thickness of about 0.23 mm.
- the blow molded container will have a sidewall thickness of about 0.35 mm.
- the preform needs to be redesigned to be longer and have a sidewall thickness of 2.3 mm.
- This thinner sidewall preform exhibits improved cycle times and reduced energy usage as well as a reduced total weight as compared with preforms made of Conventional PET resins, while at the same time producing an equivalent or improved container.
- a preform made with Conventional PET using the redesigned preform having a sidewall thickness of 2.28 mm would result in a useless container because the sidewall thickness of the container would be only 0.16 mm, which would not provide enough structural integrity to the container, and would also exhibit reduced shelf-life for carbonated beverages.
- an important benefit of the reduced natural stretch ratio of the PET Copolymer of the present invention is the redesign of preforms so that a longer-length, thinner-walled preform can be designed to achieve the same or better final PET container properties as obtained from Conventional PET and conventional preform designs.
- the sidewall thickness of the preform correlates with the injection molding cooling time.
- the cooling time is proportional to the square of the wall thickness. Since injection molding cycle time is to a large degree determined by cooling time, the preform design of the present invention will substantially reduce the injection molding cycle time.
- a thinner-walled preform is also easier to reheat since it will take less time for heat to transfer throughout the preform sidewall. This potentially can reduce the blow molding reheat and heat saturation time, resulting in an improvement in productivity and a reduction in energy usage in the blow molding process.
- the light weighting potential for a container can be illustrated with two tests: thermal expansion and sidewall deflection as described in the following sections. Both tests demonstrate the mechanical properties of the bottles of thermal stability and sidewall rigidity, respectively. For the same resin composition, a lighter weight bottle has lower mechanical strength, poorer thermal stability (and concomitantly greater thermal expansion), and less sidewall rigidity (or greater sidewall deflection).
- the low DEG, low NDC PET Copolymer of the present invention displays enhanced performance in both thermal stability and sidewall rigidity tests. Such performance is possibly caused by the increased crystallinity of the PET Copolymer and the decreased moisture sorption therein. Both of these factors can substantially decrease creep, which is the dimensional change under stress of a container measured by the change in diameter and height. This is an important factor, because most containers undergo some stress during and after the filling process. Therefore, thermal expansion and sidewall deflection tests are used herein to compare the performance of containers, and especially the performance of pressurized containers.
- containers of this invention include bottles, drums, carafes, and coolers, and the like.
- containers can be made by blow molding an injection molded preform. Examples of suitable preform and container structures and methods for making the same are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,888,598, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Other preform and container structures, not disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,888,598, are described herein as well.
- FIGS. 1 - 3 a polyester preform 10 having a conventional configuration is illustrated in FIG. 1 and a polyester preform 11 having a configuration in accordance with an embodiment of this invention is illustrated in FIG. 2.
- These preforms 10 and 11 in FIGS. 1 and 2 each have the same components, and therefore, like reference numerals indicate like components throughout the FIGS., but the dimensions of the preforms are different. The dimensions in FIGS. 1 and 2 are not drawn to scale.
- the preforms 10 and 11 are made by injection molding the PET Copolymer of this invention and comprise a threaded neck finish 12 which terminates at its lower end in a capping flange 14 . Below the capping flange 14 , there is a generally cylindrical section 16 which terminates in a section 18 of gradually decreasing external diameter so as to provide for an increasing wall thickness. Below the section 18 there is an elongated body section 20 . The height of the preform is measured from the capping flange 14 to a closed end 21 of the elongated body section 20 .
- the preforms 10 and 11 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 can each be blow molded to form a container 22 illustrated in FIG. 3.
- the container 22 comprises a shell 24 comprising a threaded neck finish 26 defining a mouth 28 , a capping flange 30 below the threaded neck finish, a tapered section 32 extending from the capping flange, a body section 34 extending below the tapered section, and a base 36 at the bottom of the container.
- the height of the container is measured from the capping flange 30 to a closed end at the base 36 .
- the container 22 is suitably used to make a packaged beverage 38 , as illustrated in FIG. 3.
- the packaged beverage 38 includes a beverage such as a carbonated soda beverage disposed in the container 22 and a closure 40 sealing the mouth 28 of the container.
- the intermediate body forming portion of the preform has a wall thickness from 1.5 to 8 mm. Furthermore, according to preferred embodiments, the intermediate body forming portion of the preform has an inside diameter from 10 to 30 mm, and the height of the preform, which extends from the closed end of the preform opposite the finish to the finish, is from 50 to 150 mm.
- containers made in accordance with preferred embodiments of this invention have a volume within the range from 0.25 to 3 liters and a wall thickness of 0.25 to 0.65 mm.
- the height H of the preforms is the distance from the closed end 21 of the preform opposite the finish 12 to the capping flange 14 of the finish.
- the inside diameter ID of the preforms 10 and 11 is the distance between the interior walls of the elongated body section 20 of the preforms.
- the wall thickness T of the preforms 10 and 11 is measured at the elongated body section 20 of the preforms also.
- the height H′ of the containers 22 is the distance from the closed end of the base 36 of the container opposite the finish 26 to the capping flange 30 of the finish.
- the maximum container diameter MD is the diameter of the container at its widest point along the height of the container 22 .
- the hoop stretch ratio of the preforms equals the maximum container diameter divided by the internal preform diameter and the axial stretch ratio equals the height of container below the finish divided by the height of preform below the finish.
- the stretch ratio of the preforms equals the product of the hoop stretch ration and the axial stretch ratio.
- Example 3 containers made in Example 1 were tested for sidewall rigidity using a sidewall deflection test.
- the sidewall deflection test is designed to measure the amount of force required to deflect the label panel of PET bottles 12 mm (0.47′′) with an 8 mm (0.32′′) round tip probe at a cross-head speed of 508 mm/min. This measurement gives information about the rigidity of the container. The greater the force required to achieve a specific sidewall deflection, the greater the rigidity of the bottle sidewall.
- the data in Table 4 shows that the crystallinity of containers prepared from low DEG, low NDC PET Copolymer samples using a conventional preform design are higher than that of containers prepared from Conventional PET using the same preform design.
- the PET containers having the compositions shown in Table 4 above were made in the same manner as the containers in Example 1.
- the PET Copolymer made from 1.09 mole percent DEG and 0.5 mole percent of NDC has a significantly higher crystallinity than that of the other formulas.
- the containers made from the PET Copolymers, however, are clear and haze-free, which indicates that in spite of the increased crystallinity of these resins, the rate of thermal crystallization is still sufficiently slow that minimal crystallization occurs under the injection molding conditions employed.
- the higher container sidewall crystallinity is believed to contribute to the improved thermal stability and the improved sidewall rigidity.
- the data in Table 9 demonstrates that the injection molding cycle time can be reduced and the injection molding productivity can be increased by 24 to 26% at the same preform weight by using the PET Copolymer made in accordance with an embodiment of this invention when used in conjunction with a preform designed to take advantage of the lower natural stretch ratio of the PET Copolymer resin.
- Example 8 The following preforms whose physical properties are set forth in Table 10 illustrate additional embodiments of this invention.
- Each of Examples 8-15 are made with the PET Copolymer Resin identified in Table 8 and have configurations generally like that of preform 11 illustrated in FIG. 2.
