Definitions
- the invention refers to a one- or multilayered film, in which the film comprises at least one coating that contains a possibly modified thermoplastic olefin homo or copolymer.
- Such films have been known for a long time.
- Products made of polyethylene (PE), for example, and especially those made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) are trash bags, shrink films and agricultural films.
- PE polyethylene
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- numerous multi-layered films are known that have three, five or seven layers, for example, from which one or several contain PE or PP (polypropylene).
- such an insertion tube typically has an inner and outer tube with a carrier material (such as glass fibers) inserted between them that has been impregnated with reactive plastic resin.
- a carrier material such as glass fibers
- reactive plastic resins are, for example, commercially available UP resins (polyester/unsaturated polyester resins), VE resins (vinyl ester resins) or EP resins (epoxy resins).
- UP or VE resins are hardened with the help of photoinitiators. but heat can also harden them.
- the insertion tube is inflated inside the pipe until it presses tightly against the inner wall of the pipe or the sliding film in order to subsequently harden the resin—with ultraviolet light from a UV light source being pulled slowly through the pipe, for example.
- the inner film of the insertion tube is peeled off and removed. The layer with the carrier material is then exposed to the substances guided through the pipe.
- a preliner (also known as preliner film) is often inserted into the pipe to be renovated—in particular in the case of the synthetic fiber-tube liner system with warm water or steam curing.
- a preliner typically made of high density polyethylene (HDPE)
- HDPE high density polyethylene
- the preliner is directly laid on the inner wall of the pipe.
- the tube liner is inserted into the pipe (insertion process) or inverted (inversion process).
- the preliner prevents, for example, the tube liner's plastic resin from adhering to the pipe wall and the still unhardened resin from making contact with dirt and water.
- the preliner film also prevents the resin from seeping out of the sewer pipe renovation system and contaminating the soil and ground water.
- the preliner film also protects the feeds from penetrating excess resin so no resin plugs and obstructions can form.
- a preliner takes over a function that reduces the sliding friction, similar to the one described for the sliding films described above, for the tube liner that will be inserted. In this case, the low coefficient of friction between the sliding film or preliner and the outer film of the tube liner is what matters.
- the insertion tube or tube liner is not damaged by the pipe's inner wall or objects inside the pipe when it is inserted into the pipe and, on the other hand, the friction between tube liner and gliding film or the preliner is very low, thus facilitating retraction of the tube liner. Therefore, the preliner can also be called a sliding tube.
- the disadvantage of the HDPE film used as sliding film or preliner mentioned above is, among other things, its required thickness of approx. 500 ⁇ m to 800 ⁇ m or more, which translates into a large quantity to maintain more or less its mechanical stability and strength. Otherwise, the sliding film or preliner would develop cracks owing to the mechanical stresses inside the pipe caused especially by sharp or rough uneven surface irregularities and would no longer be able to fulfill its purpose.
- the known HDPE film has a very large elongation capability that can even reach 200%.
- an “accordion effect” can occur when the tensile force is removed (i.e. the film contracts when this occurs).
- the sliding film or preliner can contract once again, in which case there is a risk that the sliding film or preliner and the insertion tube will create an obstruction in the sewer pipe to be renovated.
- HDPE reaches maximum strength already during sudden dynamic elongation. With further pulling (for example, with an even more forceful jerk), the film will start yielding irreversibly until it tears. Therefore, there is the danger of an uncontrollable retraction of the insertion tube, which therefore can get stuck in the pipe and may not be easily removed or properly inserted any longer.
- the materials currently used in the PE films in the state of the art are inadequate with respect to their mechanical properties such as (additional) tear strength, tensile strength, impact strength or puncture resistance.
- PE films used as preliner film in the state of the art have no barrier effect either against resin components such as styrene, for example.
- films according to the invention boast good mechanical properties such as sturdiness, resistance, puncture resistance, good inherent stability, low elongation capability and good sliding properties.
- the films according to the invention are ideally suitable for use as gliding film or preliner in trenchless sewer pipe renovation.
- the film is used, for example, as one such sliding film or preliner (sliding tube), then it is first of all highly resistant and secondly the insertion tube can be pulled through the pipe with only little friction.
- the coefficient of friction (COF) against another film having a PE outer coating is between 0.05 and 0.5, preferably between 0.1 and 0.3.
- the tear and additional tear resistance of films according to the invention are very high—in other words, the films can virtually not be torn and when they have been ripped, then the force used for ripping them further is very high. Additionally, they stretch very little or negligibly so in machine direction (md), i.e. in the moving direction during film manufacturing. In other words, a very strong force in machine direction is necessary to achieve some stretching at all and this prevents the “accordion effect” mentioned above.
- the film according to the invention can be advantageously used as packaging material for food products or in the so-called non-food sector, especially as deep-drawing film for bowls, cups, plates, troughs and trays.
- the food to be packaged can be, for example, fresh food or frozen products such as fresh meat, cooked, cured and processed meat, poultry, fruit and vegetables, fish and shellfish, bread, cakes & pastries, prepared foods, snacks, sweets and confectionary.
- animal feed, medical articles as well as consumer and industrial goods can be packaged with the film according to the invention: Electronics, household & cleaning products, office supplies, craft accessories as well as industrial components and spare parts, for example.
- the film according to the invention can also be used for external paneling, external coverings of building parts, and protective suits, signs as well as for any kind of scoreboard, display or as insulating material.
- olefin homo- or copolymers are thermoplastic polymers of ⁇ , ⁇ -unsaturated olefins with two to six carbon atoms, for example, such as polyethylene (PE, especially LDPE or HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polybutylene (PB), polyisobutylene (PI) or mixtures of at least two of the polymers mentioned above.
- PE polyethylene
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- HDPE indicates a high density polyethylene whose molecular chain is characterized by little branching and its density can lie within the range of 0.94 and 0.97 g/cm 3 .
- a preferred embodiment contains at least one coating with more than 50% by weight of thermoplastic olefin homo- or copolymer and 0.1 to 50% by weight of polyester.
- An alternative, especially preferred embodiment of the invention has at least one coating with more than 50% by weight of polyester and 0.1 to 50% by weight of thermoplastic olefin homo or copolymer.
- said embodiment contains at least one coating between 10% by weight and 35% by weight of thermoplastic olefin homo- or copolymer.
- polyester in amorphous form in at least one coating has proven especially suitable.
- amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (A-PET) has been particularly useful.
- A-PET is preferably used as material, and can also be regenerated or recycled. Likewise, own chaff made up of edge trims, etc. can be used.
- Commercially available A-PET is easily obtainable under the name Wellman PermaClear® made by the American firm DAK Americas, Novapet® made by Novapet S.A. of Spain, or Texpet R made by Texplast GmbH of Wolfen [Germany] or SABIC® PET.
- said coating contains at least one polyester, especially in form of A-PET, in more than 25% by weight, preferably in more than 40% by weight and especially preferable in more than 50% by weight, particularly in more than 65% by weight.
- thermoplastic olefin homo- and/or copolymer to A-PET or their presence leads to a considerable improvement of toughness, tensile strength and additional tear resistance.
- the olefin homo- or copolymer in said coating has also been determined as advantageous for the olefin homo- or copolymer in said coating to have a glass transition temperature Tg in the range from ⁇ 90° C. to +110° C., especially from ⁇ 80° C. to +40° C. This reduces the excessively high stiffness of the polyester, particularly of A-PET, and lowers the elastic modulus of the film.
- the olefin homo- or copolymer is preferably polyethylene (PE), used preferably in the form of high density polyethylene (HDPE). Additionally, LDPE and/or LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene) can be advantageously used, as well as polyolefins, especially polyethylene polymerized on the basis of metallocen catalysts (mPE), such as mLDPE (metallocen LDPE) and mLLDPE (metallocen LLDPE). Polyethylene is classified in different categories, mainly with regard to its density and branching. Its mechanical properties depend greatly on variables like length and type of branching, crystalline structure and molecular weight. The most frequently sold polyethylenes are HDPE, LLDPE and LDPE. Specifically, the polymer order looks like this:
- VLDPE very low density polyethylene
- VLDPE very low density polyethylene
- VLDPE is defined by its density range of 0.880 to 0.915 g/cm 3 . It is essentially a linear polymer with a high proportion of short side chains, typically manufactured by linear copolymerization of ethylene with short-chained alpha olefins (e.g. 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene). VLDPE is very frequently manufactured using metallocen catalysts because they allow more the insertion of more co-monomers.

- FIG. 8 shows a schematic cross section of a well-known form of a preferably deep-drawn shell 15 used for packaging food products (cheese, cold cuts, etc.) and a film structure according to the invention with regard to its bottom that has side walls.
- the shell 15 or trough can be sealed with an upper film 16 , in which case the known systems of permanent seal, easy peel or reclosure can be used. These sealing systems can be installed in the lower film and/or upper film.
- the film 11 lower film
- the film 11 from which the shell 15 consists of, has an inner layer 3 , which is executed according to claim 1 , i.e.
- FIG. 8 a shows schematically that layer 3 —with its mixture of olefin homo or copolymer and polyester—is not foamed, whereas layer 3 is foamed according to FIG. 8 b .
- the films shown in FIG. 8 can additionally be coextruded with one or several additional layers and/or laminated with one or several additional films, for example with those having a barrier function.
- the film according to example 1 had an three-layered A-B-A structure, a make-up of 50:410:50, an overall thickness of 510 ⁇ m and a basis weight of 661 g/m 2 and with this a medium density of 1.296 g/cm 3 ;
- the film according to example 4 was laminated with a 230- ⁇ m thick PE-HV-PA-HV-PE film (5-layer film).
- the (laminated) film from example 5 with a width of 500 mm was sealed on both external longitudinal edges with a likewise 500-mm wide, 230- ⁇ m thick PE-PA-PE film in such a way that the result was a closed tube (circumference approx. 1000 mm).
- the PE side of the combination film from example 5 was sealed with the PE side of the non-laminated 230- ⁇ m thick PE-PA-PE UV and light protection film.
- the PE-PA-PE-film was completely impenetrable to UV radiation and visible light radiation (UV-Vis transmission in the 200 nm to 800 nm wavelength range under 0.5%).
- antiblocking agents prevent the adhesion of the film according to the invention to another material.
- Antiblocking agents are, for example, solids that generate micro roughness on the plastic surface and as a result of that create an ultra thin air layer as separating layer when two films are placed on top of one another or when the films are moved with regard to one other.
- the external layer containing the antiblocking agent faces the insertion tube, in which case the insertion tube, when pulled over the sliding foil or preliner installed in the pipe will not adhere to this external film of the sliding film or preliner.
- Whitish cloudy commercially available HDPE film (mono film), already used as sliding film in the sewer pipe renovation field; manufacturing through cast extrusion; thickness 500 ⁇ m.
- Material Hostalen® GD 4755, density 0.953 g/cm 3 .
- Whitish cloudy commercially available HDPE film mono film
- samples were manually prepared (samples cut to the testing mass) and stored for 24 hours before testing under normal climate conditions of 23° C. and 50% relative humidity.
- the measurement of the tensile properties was done according to Part 3 of German Industrial Standard DIN EN ISO 527.
- the tensile strength ⁇ max of a plastic film is given in N/mm 2 .
- the elongation at break ⁇ B indicates in % to what extent the film can be stretched before it tears.
- the testing device for the tensile tests was a universal testing machine Zwick/Roell Z020 in the “Makro 50 mm” mode with a macro displacement transducer for measuring the elastic modulus.
- the test was performed on strips with a length of 140 mm and a width of 15 mm under a speed of 1 mm/min for the tensile modulus and a testing speed of 500 mm/min for the tensile strength.
- the preload was 1 N
- the maximum load of the load cell was 2500 N.
- the measurement of the additional tear resistance was performed according to German Industrial Standard DIN 53363—Trapezium.
- the force in the tear force F max expressed in N is understood to be the force necessary for tearing a piece of plastic film.
- the testing device for measuring the additional tear resistance was the universal testing machine Zwick/Roell Z020 mentioned above, in the “Traverse L 50 mm” mode with a traverse displacement transducer. The test was performed on strips having a length of 120 mm and a width of 50 with a 25-mm notch according to DIN 53363—Trapezium. The testing speed was 300 mm/min and the speed of the tensile modulus 300 mm/min as well. The preload was set at 1 N.
- the testing device used for measuring penetration resistance was the Instron/CEAST 9350 drop hammer testing device.
- the dimensions of the testing body were 60 ⁇ 60 mm 2 .
- In the contact surface there was a circular recess with a diameter of 40 mm for allowing the passing of the hammer, whose mass was 5 kg.
- the penetration speed was 4.4 m/s.
- the puncture that took place was measured at 50% (average from several measurements).
- Tab. 1 lists the measurement results of the tensile tests.
- the disadvantageous values are printed in italics in the lines for V1 and V2.
- Especially disadvantageous values are in bold italics.
- the particularly advantageous values in the lines for B1 and B2 are printed in bold.
- elongation at failure in example B1 lies merely at 3.5% and in example B2 merely at 3.6% in md.
- Stretching at the yield point (yielding elongation) lies in B1 only at 3.5% in md.
- Elongation at failure in machine direction (md) lies for B1 merely at 3.5% and for B2 merely at 3.6%.
- the two films B1 and B2 are additionally very little anisotropic in machine direction (md) and cross direction (cd).
- the films B1 and B2 according to the invention thus need, on the one hand, considerably more tensile stress for a stretch (of 1% and 2.5%) and therefore higher tensile strength than the comparative examples V1 and V2, something that is very advantageous for the use as sliding film for insertion tubes (tube liners) in trenchless sewer pipe renovation.
- the slide film remains unchanged in its place in the case of B1 and B2 and does not stretch when the insertion tube is pulled through the sewer pipe.
- the “accordion effect” is therefore almost fully or completely prevented when the insertion tube is no longer being pulled, so that the system can no longer be pulled back as soon as the tensile strength ceases.
- the sliding films according to the invention therefore serve for ideally “guiding” the insertion tube in the sewer pipe to be renovated.
- the tensile test thus shows that the films B1 and B2 according to the invention hardly stretch—neither in cross direction (cd) nor in the important machine direction (md). Stretching at the yield point epsilon Y ( ⁇ Y ; yielding elongation) for B1 is only approx. 1/10 of the stretching determined for film V1. The same applies to B1 and B2 for maximum stretching epsilon M ( ⁇ M ). The elongation at failure epsilon B ( ⁇ B ) is for the films B1 and B2 according to the invention lower by about a factor of 20 compared to V1 and by about a factor of 24 compared to V2.
- the shape and dimension of the films B1 and B2 according to the invention remain almost unchanged when the insertion tube that slides on the sliding film is pulled through the sewer pipe.
- the films resist large forces acting on them and are sturdy. Thus, they are ideal for use as sliding film or preliner.
- Tab. 2 lists the measurement results of the additional tear resistance tests.
- the disadvantageous values are printed in italics in the lines for V1 and V2.
- the especially disadvantageous values are given in bold italics, whereas the particularly advantageous values for B1 and B2 are printed in bold in the lines for B1 and B2.
- film V1 is clearly weak in machine direction (md), a clear indication of this film's anisotropy.
- machine direction (md) the tear force is only 56 N and the tear resistance only 2.2 N/mm 2 .
- the films B1 and B2 according to the invention with the mixtures of A-PET and LDPE in coating B have a significantly higher (248 and 197 N) and tear resistance (9.8 and 9.9 N/mm 2 ) in machine direction (md) compared to V1 and V2.
- the tear resistance of films B1 and B2 is higher by a factor of 4 to 5 compared to V1 in machine direction (md) and about twice as high compared to V2.
- the films according to the invention are ideally suitable for use as sliding film or preliner for introducing tube liners during trenchless sewer pipe renovation.
- Tab. 3 lists the measurement results of the puncture resistance tests. Once again, for easier orientation, the disadvantageous values are in italics in the lines for V1 and V2, whereas the particularly advantageous values are printed in bold in the lines for B1 and B2.
- the commercially available film V1 has a maximum puncture force F max of 419.9 N and a penetrating force F p of 209.2 N. These values are rather low for use as sliding film for sewer pipe renovation because the sliding film during the sewer pipe renovation protects the insertion tube to be introduced during sewer renovation from possible edges and corners present along the sewer pipe walls. In the case of the comparative film V1, the sliding film could only offer little protection, as it can be punctured with relatively little exertion of force. Higher values are obtained both in comparative example V2 (where the thickness is 600 ⁇ m) and in example B2 (where the thickness is 500 ⁇ m). These films are considerably more suitable for use as sliding film than the film from V1.
- Tab. 3 shows especially clearly the favorable influence of a higher quantity of polyethylene on the polyester-based film in example B1. While the film from example B2 contains 2% by weight of PE apart from 98% by weight of A-PET in the middle layer B and a maximum puncturing force of 520.54 N is reached, the addition of 20% by weight of polyethylene apart from 78% by weight of A-PET in middle layer B leads to a clear increase of the puncturing force to 601.22 N. This makes the film from B1 according to the invention not only especially puncture-resistant but sturdy as well (see Tab. 1 & 2).
