Definitions

  • the invention relates to glass strands coated with a sizing composition which are intended to reinforce organic materials of the polymer type, to the sizing compositions used to coat these strands and to the composites including these strands.
  • Glass strands used for reinforcing are generally produced industrially from streams of molten glass flowing from the multiple orifices of a spinneret. These streams are drawn mechanically in the form of continuous filaments and are then gathered together into base strands, which are subsequently collected, for example by winding off on a rotating support. Before they are gathered together, the filaments are coated with a sizing composition by passing over a suitable device, such as coating rolls.
  • the sizing composition proves to be essential in several respects. First of all, it is involved in the manufacture of the strands by protecting the glass filaments from the abrasion which occurs when the latter rub at high speed over the members which are used to guide them and to collect them. Next, the sizing composition makes it possible to give cohesion to the strand by creating bonds between its constituent filaments. The strand thus being rendered more integral is thereby easier to handle. Finally, the sizing composition promotes the wetting and the impregnation of the glass strands by the polymer to be reinforced, which, at this stage, has the appearance of a fluid resin. The mechanical properties of the final composite are for this reason markedly improved.
  • the materials to be reinforced can combine with the glass strands in various forms: continuous or cut strands, fabrics, mats of continuous or cut strands, and the like.
  • the composites incorporating cut glass strands can be obtained, inter alia, by the “contact moulding” technique, which consists in coating the inside of an open mould, without a countermould, with the resin to be reinforced and glass strands of variable length.
  • the resin and the cut glass strands are sprayed together onto the inside walls of the mould by means of a “spray gun” comprising a cutter capable of severing the strands drawn off from one or more wound packages, generally in the form of rovings, and a device for feeding with resin, for example a pneumatic pump.
  • This process which is simple and which can be adjusted both with regard to the size and the shape, is particularly suited to the manufacture of one-off or short-run components based on thermosetting polymer from the family of the polyesters or epoxides.
  • the quality of the composites obtained by this process depends largely on the properties introduced by the glass strands and thus on the sizing composition which coats them.
  • the target is in particular sizing compositions which can be easily wetted or impregnated at the surface by the resin, that is to say which are capable of providing close contact between the strands and the resin, so that the expected mechanical reinforcing properties can be obtained.
  • compositions to make fast processing possible, in particular for the strand/resin mixture which is sprayed onto the mould in the form of overlapping strips to be able to spread out uniformly, and for the subsequent rolling stage, intended to remove the air bubbles and to provide better distribution of the strands in the resin, to be of short duration.
  • the sizing composition it is necessary for the sizing composition to have a degree of “incompatibility” with the resin, that is to say not to be too soluble in the resin, in order to prevent the strand/resin mixture, after spraying onto a vertical wall, from “collapsing” by simple gravity.
  • An aim of the invention is to develop glass strands coated with a sizing composition which is particularly suited to the process for moulding by simultaneous spraying and which makes it possible to increase the lifetime of the blades of the cutter without, however, modifying the processing conditions and without affecting the other properties of the strands, namely their ability to be impregnated by the resin. As was indicated above, this is because it is essential for the strands to be able to be rapidly impregnated by the resin as there is, in this instance, no prior blending of the strands and the resin before the spraying stage.
  • a subject-matter of the present invention is therefore glass strands coated with an essentially aqueous sizing composition which is characterized in that it comprises the combination
  • R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 which are identical or different, represent a C 1 - C 6 , preferably C 1 -C 3 , alkyl radical
  • Z represents a C 1 -C 16 hydrocarbonaceous chain which can comprise one or more N, O and/or S heteroatoms
  • glass strands coated with a sizing composition is understood to mean glass strands “which have been coated with a sizing composition which comprises . . . ”, that is to say not only glass strands coated with the composition in question as they are obtained at the immediate outlet of the sizing member(s) but also these same strands after they have been subjected to one or more other treatments, for example a stage(s) of drying, for the purpose of removing the solvent from the composition, and/or of polymerization/crosslinking of some constituents of the said composition.
  • strands should be understood as meaning the base strands resulting from the gathering together under the spinneret of a multitude of filaments and the products derived from these strands, in particular the assemblages of these base strands into rovings.
  • Such assemblages can be obtained by simultaneously reeling off several wound base strand packages and by then gathering them together into slivers which are wound off onto a rotating support. It can also be “direct” rovings with a count (or mass per unit length) equivalent to that of the assembled rovings obtained by gathering together filaments directly under the spinneret and winding onto a rotating support.
  • essentially aqueous sizing composition is understood to mean a composition which comprises at least 90% by weight of water, preferably at least 93% and better still at least 94%, at least one adhesion agent and at least one lubricant.
  • the glass strands are coated with a sizing composition, the bissilane (A) of which corresponds to the formula
  • R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 have the meaning given above,
  • A, B and C which are identical or different, represent a C 1 -C 16 hydrocarbonaceous chain, the sum of the carbon atoms of A, B and C being less than or equal to 16,
  • n is equal to 0, 1,2or3,
  • R 7 and R 8 which are identical or different, represent H or a methyl or ethyl radical.
  • the sizing composition comprises the bissilane (A) of abovementioned formula in which:
  • R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 which are identical, represent a methyl or ethyl radical
  • a and C which are identical or different, represent a methylene, ethylene or propylene radical
  • B represents an ethylene radical
  • n is equal to 0 or 1
  • R 7 and R 8 represent a hydrogen atom.
  • the bissilane (A) corresponds to the preceding formula, in which:
  • R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 which are identical, represent a methyl radical
  • a and C represent a propylene radical
  • n is equal to 0,
  • R 7 and R 8 represent a hydrogen atom.
  • the glass strands are coated with a sizing composition, the unsaturated monosilane (B) of which is chosen from (meth)acrylosilanes.
  • the combination of the bissilane (A) and of the unsaturated monosilane (B) proves to be advantageous for forming glass strands exhibiting an improved ability to be cut. It has been found that the bissilane (A) is a very effective agent for embrittling glass: a very dilute aqueous solution of this bissilane, of the order of 0.01% by weight, is sufficient to produce the desired effect. It seems that the embrittling effect is related to the high affinity of the bissilane for glass: this is explained by the formation of relatively strong bonds between the silicon atoms carried by the bissilane and the oxygen of the free hydroxyl groups of the glass, which bonds lead to embrittlement of the glass at the surface.
  • vinylsilanes vinyltrialkoxysilanes, in particular vinyltriethoxysilane and vinyltri(methoxyethoxy)silane,
  • (meth)acrylosilanes [(meth)acryloxyalkyl]trialkoxysilanes, in particular (methacryloxypropyl)triethoxysilane, and (meth)acrylamidoalkyltrialkoxysilanes, in particular methacrylamidopropyltrialkoxysilane.
  • (Meth)acrylamidoalkyltrialkoxysilanes are particularly preferred.
  • the sizing composition coating the glass strands comprises at least one adhesion agent.
  • This adhesion agent is generally chosen from homopolymers or copolymers based on vinyl acetate, polyurethanes, epoxys and polyesters.
  • vinyl acetate homopolymers of poly(vinyl acetate)s having a low molecular mass, that is to say of less than or equal to 60 000, preferably of between 40 000 and 60 000, and better still of the order of 50 000.
  • copolymers based on vinyl acetate of copolymers of vinyl acetate and of at least one other monomer capable of copolymerizing with the latter, such as an unsaturated monomer, in particular ethylene and N-methylolacrylamide, or a monomer including an epoxide functional group.
  • polyurethanes of the compounds obtained by reaction of at least one polyisocyanate and of at least one polyol.
  • the polyurethanes resulting from polyols with aliphatic and/or cycloaliphatic chains are preferred.
  • epoxys of the compounds exhibiting an epoxide number of less than 450, preferably of greater than 180, resulting in particular from the reaction of bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin, in the form of an aqueous emulsion, or modified in order to render them soluble in water.
  • polyesters of saturated or slightly unsaturated polyesters. These polyesters are generally used in the form of an aqueous emulsion.
  • the composition advantageously comprises the combination of at least two adhesion agents, at least one of which is a poly(vinyl acetate) or a polyurethane.
  • the choice is made to combine a poly(vinyl acetate) or a polyurethane and a copolymer based on vinyl acetate, or a poly(vinyl acetate) and a polyurethane.
  • a poly(vinyl acetate) and a vinyl acetate/N-methylolacrylamide copolymer, a polyurethane and a vinyl acetate/epoxide or ethylene/vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer, and a polyurethane and a poly(vinyl acetate) are combined.
  • a plasticizing agent can be introduced into the sizing composition, the role of which plasticizing agent is to render more flexible the constituent polymer chains of the adhesion agent(s), in particular when they are homopolymers or the vinyl acetate/N-methylolacrylamide copolymer.
  • the plasticizing agent makes it possible to lower the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the adhesion agents, which improves the “conformability” of the blend of cut strands and resin, that is to say the ability to match the shape of the mould, and for this reason proves to be particularly advantageous when the shape is complex.
  • the plasticizing agent is generally chosen from glycol derivatives, such as alkylene glycol dibenzoates and preferably ethylene and/or propylene glycol dibenzoates.
  • the amount of plasticizing agent in the sizing composition very obviously depends on the degree of flexibility which it is desired to confer on the strand, it being understood that the strand must, however, be sufficiently stiff to allow it to be correctly distributed within the resin.
  • this amount is such that the ratio by weight of the plasticizing agent to the sum of the homopolymers and of the vinyl acetate/N-methylolacrylamide copolymer is between 0.05 and 0.2, preferably 0.10 and 0.15, expressed on a dry basis.
  • the composition can also comprise at least one lubricating and/or antistatic agent, the role of which is in particular to protect the strands from mechanical abrasion during their manufacture.
  • This agent is generally chosen from cationic compounds of the polyalkyleneimide type and nonionic compounds of the esters of fatty acids and of poly(alkylene glycol)s poly(oxyalkylene) type, such as poly(ethylene glycol) monolaurate, or of the poly(oxyalkylenated) fatty amides type, such as polyoxyethylenated hydrogenated tallow amides.
  • the glass strands coated with the sizing composition in accordance with the invention exhibit a loss on ignition of less than 1.5%, preferably of between 0.9 and 1.3%.
  • the glass strands in accordance with the invention exist in the form of wound base strand packages which are subjected to a heat treatment.
  • This treatment is intended essentially to remove the water introduced by the sizing composition and, if appropriate, to accelerate the crosslinking of the adhesion agents.
  • the conditions for the treatment of the wound packages can vary according to the mass of the wound package.
  • the drying is generally carried out at a temperature of the order of 110 to 140° C. for several hours, preferably 12 to 18 hours.
  • the base strands thus obtained are generally removed from the wound package and combined with several other base strands into a sliver which is subsequently wound off onto a rotating support to form a roving. It has unexpectedly been found that the application of a composition including a cationic antistatic agent of the quaternary ammonium salt type to the strands makes it possible to reinforce the ability of the strands to be cut. Thus, by depositing the abovementioned composition on the base strands, after removing from the wound package and gathering together to form the sliver, the lifetime of the blades is significantly improved.
  • the strands are preferably coated with an aqueous composition comprising 20 to 35% and preferably of the order of 25% by weight of cocotrimethylammonium chloride.
  • the strands coated with the sizing composition according to the invention can be composed of glass of any nature provided that it is suitable for fiberizing, for example made of E, C or AR glass and preferably of E glass.
  • These same strands are composed of filaments with a diameter which can vary within a wide range, for example from 9 to 24 ⁇ m, and preferably 10 to 15 ⁇ m, and better still 11 to 13 ⁇ m.
  • the strands advantageously have a count of between 40 and 70 tex and better still of the order of 57 tex. For this reason, even when filaments with a relatively large diameter are used, the strand retains an acceptable stiffness and remains capable of perfectly matching the shape of the mould.
  • the cut glass strands are evenly and homogeneously distributed within the resin during the simultaneous spraying, which makes it possible to have excellent reinforcement.
  • composition capable of coating the said glass strands, which composition is characterized in that it comprises:
  • At least one adhesion agent at least one adhesion agent
  • At least one lubricating agent at least one lubricating agent
  • the sizing composition comprises:
  • the sizing composition comprises at least 93% by weight of water and better still at least 94%.
  • the total content of silanes does not exceed 1% by weight of the composition, preferably 0.8%.
  • the solids content of the sizing composition is generally between 2 and 10%, preferably 4 and 8%, and advantageously of the order of 6%.
  • a subject-matter of the invention also relates to the composites comprising the glass strands coated with the sizing composition.
  • Such composites comprise at least one thermosetting polymer material, preferably a polyester and/or an epoxy, and glass strands, all or part of which is/are composed of glass strands in accordance with the invention.
  • the level of glass within the composite is generally between 20 and 40% by weight and preferably between 25 and 35%.
  • the glass strands according to the invention are noteworthy in that they allow the material which they reinforce to have better behaviour towards ageing. This is reflected in particular by a greater resistance to flexural stress and shear stress, as indicated subsequently in the following implementational examples, which are intended to illustrate the invention without, however, limiting it.

  • the aminosilane and then, 20 minutes later, the vinyltriethoxysilane are introduced into a first vessel containing a solution composed of 1 800 l of water and 1.5 kg of formic acid (80% by volume). If appropriate, the pH of the solution is adjusted to approximately 4.5 by addition of formic acid.
  • the two adhesion agents are successively introduced into a second vessel, the mixture is diluted with stirring to approximately 400 litres with water, and the plasticizer and the nonionic lubricant (6) are added. The mixture is left stirring for at least 15 minutes and is diluted with water to 1 000 litres.
  • this “plasticization” stage is short.
  • the lubricant (7) is introduced into a third vessel and is diluted to 10-20 times its weight with water.

  • the base strands are removed from the wound package and are gathered together into rovings composed of 42 base strands, constituting a first batch.
  • a second batch of rovings is obtained by removing the base strands from the wound package and application, to the assembled sliver, of an aqueous antistatic solution comprising 25% by weight of cocotrimethylammonium chloride (8) (pH adjusted to 4 by addition of formic acid; level deposited on a dry basis: 0.06 %).
  • the strand unwound from the roving is inserted into a cutting device comprising two blades, a blade made of hard steel and a blade made of rapidly wearing “soft” steel (heat treatment at 550° C.), and strength and temperature sensors.
