Definitions
- the present invention is in the extrusion field, particularly, in the extrusion of polymer melts.
- the present invention relates to a novel co-extruded multilayer structure as well as to a method for obtaining the co-extruded multilayer structure.
- the present invention further relates to the co-extruded multilayer structure for use as a coating.
- the coating can be a diaper back sheet or a flexible packaging coating.
- Polymer extrusion processes like film cast extrusion, extrusion-coating, blown film, profile extrusion or filament spinning are subjected to serious limitations either in speed and in down-gauging film thickness or filament diameter because of process instabilities related to extrusion speed and draw-down.
- Extrusion speed limitations are related to shear flow instabilities.
- Critical shear stress leads to well-known drawbacks melt shark skin or stick-lip, and finally melt breakage.
- shear flow condition limitation in extrusion speed is caused by shear stress at the die gap; besides, the polymer rheology itself, the presence of lubricants and the process conditions, the shear stress depends strongly on die gap section area and melt speed at the die exit or the spinneret capillary.
- Draw-down limitations are related to extensional flow instabilities. These instabilities are well-known drawbacks melt draw resonance and gross melt fracture. The extensional flow behaviour of a polymer melt depends on its extensional viscosity.
- draw-down ratio as the dimensionless ratio between the extruder die gap section area and the final film section area, divided by the blow up rate in case of blown film or the spinneret capillary section area and the final filament section ratio is case of filament spinning.
- Draw down ratio can also be defined as the ratio of the final take-off position speed to the die exit speed.
- extensional viscosity measurements Due to experimental and physical limitations, it is difficult to achieve steady state conditions in extensional viscosity measurements; instead we usually have a plot of transient data showing the evolution of extensional viscosity over time for different strain rates.
- extensional rheometers either based on constant or variable speed of a melt polymer are available in the art. Fixtures for extensional measurements using shear rheometers are also very common. See for example “ Polymer Melt Rheology and the Rheotens Test ” von Anka Bernnat, Institut für Kunststofftechnologie, (2015) Stuttgart, 2001.
- the Rheotens experiment is a quasi-isothermal fibre spinning experiment. A polymer melt presheared in a capillary die is stretched under the action of a constant drawdown force until rupture of the filament. The experiment results in an extension diagram which describes the elongational behaviour of a polymer melt and therefore is relevant for many polymer processes like blow moulding, film blowing, and fibre spinning.
- the rupture stress of a polymer melt can be calculated, which is of importance for these industrial applications.
- melt strength and drawability depend on the material properties of the melt and on the processing conditions of the experiment.
- the existence of Rheotens mastercurves allows to separate the polymer melt properties from the processing conditions and thus simplifies the description of elongational behaviour under constant force deformation.
- the Rheotens mastercurve reflects structural differences of polymer melts.
- Troutonian materials that is, the extensional viscosity is more or less independent of flow rate.
- This includes polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PETE), polycarbonate (PC) and polysulfone (PES), and all the Newtonian fluids.
- PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
- PS polystyrene
- PETE polyethylene terephthalate
- PC polycarbonate
- PES polysulfone
- Extensional thickening has been observed for substantially long branched polymer structures like low density polyethylene (LDPE), high melt strength polypropylene (HMSPP), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- HMSPP high melt strength polypropylene
- EVA ethylene vinyl acetate
- Linear or substantially short branched polymers such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP), exhibit extensional thinning when exposed to extensional flow
- Polymers substantially linear or short chain branched show extensional thinning behaviour.
- Some common examples are linear low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene homo and co-polymers, thermoplastic polyurethanes, polyether-ester copolymers, linear polyamides, polyamide-ether copolymers or polylactic acid polymers.
- Critical draw-down ratios for common commercial extensional thinning polymers are situated between 20 and 40.
- extensional thickening and Troutonian polymer melts show sudden gross melt fracture at their critical draw down ratio.
- Gross melt fracture occurs at a specific critical draw down ratio for each polymer and strongly depends on local stress, flaws distribution, crack size and crack growth.
- the force attracting and individual molecule to its neighbours is very large because of the enormous length of the molecules.
- polymer molecules are oriented and often stretched depending of the deformation field. The induced anisotropy gives large differences in normal stresses and then material inhomogeneities dependent of this stress differences.
- Polymers having structure substantially long branched chains tend to show an extensional thickening behaviour.
- Examples can be low density polyethylene and its co-polymers like ethylene vinyl acetate or acrylate or polystyrene; polyolefin elastomers and plastomers; high melt strength polypropylene; partially cross-linked with peroxides linear low density polyethylene; ionomers; acrylic or methacrylic acid copolymers; or chain extended branched polyesters, polylactic acid polymers and polyamides.
- Polymers showing extensional thickening behaviour under extensional flow conditions usually have a critical draw down ratio between 30 and 80.
- flaws or material inhomogeneities as nucleation sites for cavities and cracks are essential for the fracture mechanics.
- the index ranges from 0 (polymers with no long chain branching) to 30.
- the draw-down instability is also affecting productivity in extrusion-coating processes where the substrate is covering the required mechanical performance of the product, in this case, high speed and low coating weight is needed.
- the extremely narrow die gaps needed to obtain the targeted low coating weights substantially increase the polymer shear stress obliging to work the extrusion line at low speed unless it is able to work at higher draw down ratios.
- Joo Sung Lee in “Stabilization of film casting by an encapsulation method”, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Applied rheology center, Korea University, February 2003, teaches some draw down and neck-in improvements by encapsulating the edges of a melt of HDPE by LDPE in a film extrusion-coating machine.
- the present invention was made in view of the prior art described above, and the object of the present invention is to provide a co-extruded multilayer structure having an improved critical draw-down ratio compared with the critical draw-down ratio of each one of the layer's polymers present in the multilayer, individually extruded. Therefore, the present invention provides a co-extruded multilayer structure that under extensional flow condition is capable of higher elongation or extension without elongation flow instabilities emerge.
- the present invention provides a co-extruded multi-layer structure, the structure comprising a first composite layer disposed over a second composite layer, and further comprising an inter-layer disposed between the first and the second composite layer,
- first composite layer contains a first polymer
- second composite layer contains a second polymer
- inter-layer chemically or physically interacts with the first polymer and the second polymer, adhering both layers either in molten and after polymers solidification.
- first polymer and the second polymer differ from each other in at least its extensional viscosity, one polymer maintaining or increasing its extensional viscosity at its critical draw down ratio under tensile stress, and the other polymer decreasing its extensional viscosity at its critical draw down ratio under tensile stress, and wherein the inter-layer is obtainable by a co-extrusion method that uses one common die, the method comprising the following steps:
- the co-extruded multilayer structure can have a flat, tubular or profile shape depending on if a flat die, a tubular die or a selected profile die is used as one common die in a conventional extrusion technique.
- the present inventors found that the selection of a first and of a second polymers with different extensional viscosity behavior, subject to the proviso that at their individual critical draw down ratios one polymer decreases its extensional viscosity and the other polymer increases its extensional viscosity, results in a molten co-extruded multilayer structure with a higher extension/elongation value under tensile stress.
- the first and/or the second polymer can be independently a polymer blend.
- the first and/or the second polymer blend has the same behavior as the first and/or the second polymer, respectively.
- the resulted coextruded multilayer structure has a critical draw-down ratio of 10%, 20%, 50%, 90%, 100% 150%, 200%, 250%, 275% or 300% superior to the critical draw-down ratio of each one of the first and of the second polymers, extruded individually.
- the resulted coextruded multilayer structure has an improved critical draw-down ratio is based on a different behaviour of the selected layers present in the coextruded multilayer structure thus formed.
- the extensional thinning layer is supported by the extensional thickening layer at its resonance critical drawn-down ratio by means of its melt strength and, the extensional thickening layer is supported by the extensional thinning layer at its critical draw-down ratio due to the fact that the small cracks forming at the beginning of the melt rupture do not grow because of the support of the extensional thinning layer resulting in relaxing the extensional thickening layer tensions instead of producing the rupture propagation across the layer and the full breakage of this melt.
- the critical draw-down for gross melt fracture is substantially improved by the presence of the extensional thinning layer in the set of selected behaviour of layers.
- the first aspect of the present invention provides a co-extruded multilayer structure with lower thicknesses or lower diameters as well as lower weights, which makes the co-extruded multilayer structure suitable as a thinner coating and, therefore, of lower weight.
- Polymers decreasing its extensional viscosity at their critical draw down ratio under tensile stress are polymers those structure is substantially linear or contains short branched chain that when they are subjected to tensile stress their molecule chains became more or less oriented in the shear direction, thereafter the molecule chain disentangle to a certain extent, which lower their flow resistance.
- Extensional thinning behaviour polymers can be selected without to be a limited list from: Linear low density polyethylene; polyethylene and polybutylene terephthalate; Polyether-ester block copolymers; Polyether-amide block co-polymers; thermoplastic polyurethanes; polypropylene homo and co-polymers; High density polyethylene; medium density polyethylene linear polyamides; polylactic acid polymers, and their co-polymers or blends and their blends with mineral fillers.
- Polymers increasing its extensional viscosity at their critical draw down ratio under tensile stress are polymers those structure is substantially long branched chain that when they are subjected to tensile stress their molecule chains tangle and therefore prevent relative motion between the molecule chains, which higher their flow resistance.
- Troutonian polymer melts show sudden gross melt fracture at its critical draw down ratio under tensile stress, so in the present invention a Troutonian polymer can used as an extensional thickening polymer.
- Extensional thickening behaviour polymers or Troutonian polymers can be selected without to be a limited list from: Low density polyethylene; Ethylene vinyl acetate and acrylate copolymers; polystyrene; polyolef in plastomers and elastomers; high melt strength polypropylene; cross-linked polypropylene with peroxide or zinc catalyser (like dymalink 9200 from Cray Valley); partially cross-linked linear low density polyethylene and its co-polymers; polyolefin-acid co-polymer; ionomers; branched polyamides, polylactic acid polymers and polyesters with chain extenders; and their co-polymers or blends and their blends with mineral fillers.

- the present invention provides a method for obtaining a co-extruded multi-layer structure, the structure comprising a first composite layer disposed over a second composite layer, and further comprising an inter-layer disposed between the first and the second composite layer by using a conventional co-extrusion technique with one common die, the method comprising the steps of:
- the method defined in the second aspect of the present invention saves costs in raw materials, saves weight both in handling raw materials which can be of lower size as well as in the finished materials usually rolled, and moreover produce less waste materials due to the fact that in more or less degree extensional flow instabilities are prevented so less amount of rejected extrudate polymers are generated.
- the critical draw-down ratio of the molten co-extruded layers can be defined as the maximum extension/elongation value under tensile stress without elongation flow instabilities emerge.
- the invention provides a co-extruded multilayer structure as defined in the first and/or the second aspects of the invention for use as a coating on a substrate, wherein the substrate can be selected from the group consisting of a polymer, paper, textile material, non-woven material or metal film, and wherein the substrate is coated with the coextruded multilayer structure by using a conventional extrusion method selected from extrusion—coating, curtain-coating extrusion, extrusion-lamination, cast extrusion, blown film extrusion, profile extrusion, filament spinning and spun-melt nonwoven extrusion.

- D common die
- S substrate
- C-R cooling roller
- FIG. 4 depicts a schematic view of the conventional extrusion-coating equipment shown in FIG. 3 , further provided with a vacuum box (V).
- the vacuum box (V) isolates the molten co-extruded multilayer structure ( 1 ) from the ambient air for stability purposes.
- the molten co-extruded multilayer structure ( 1 ) is cooled in contact with a cooling roller (C-R).
- the co-extruded multilayer structure ( 1 ) is used as a coating of a substrate (S), then the coated substrate is rolled in a cooling roller (C-R).
- Interlayer adhesion strength should be, at least, at the level of melt strength of the strongest layer; insufficient adhesion level could only give moderate improvements in draw-down and quickly produces interfacial instabilities by partial or total layer delamination caused by a significant difference in rheological behaviour between layers.
- the interlayer can be obtained by three different ways:
- Preferable adhesive layer is a tie layer which is made of an adhesive material.
- a co-extruded multilayer film is extruded using an extrusion-coating, curtain coating or extrusion laminating equipment onto a substrate. It is preferable cool down the co-extruded multilayer film to room temperature before contacting the substrate in order to avoid excessive consumption of polymer in fulfilling the substrate roughness.
- the co-extruded multilayer film comprises three layers, one of an extensional thinning behaviour polymer, optionally containing an adhesive material dispersed therein, and another of an extensional thickening behaviour polymer, optionally containing an adhesive material dispersed therein.
- the same adhesive material can be also used for bonding the co-extruded multilayer film onto the substrate, thereby avoiding the usage of a second adhesive material for bonding the coating with the substrate.
- the co-extruded multilayer film comprises three layers, one of an extensional thinning behaviour polymer, another of an extensional thickening behaviour polymer, and the third layer of an adhesive material.
- the same adhesive material can be also used for bonding the co-extruded multilayer film onto the substrate, thereby avoiding the usage of a second adhesive material as a layer for bonding the coating with the substrate.
- the combination of polymers and layers can results in a critical draw down ratio of 260 in the extrusion process, thereby allowing a film total thickness below 3 ⁇ m at equipment take-off speed of more than 500 m/min.
- Coating thickness of coated samples cross-sections can be measured with optical microscope equipped with lens scale.
- extensional thickening layer do not be situated in a position between the adhesive layer and the equipment rolls to prevent direct contact of the adhesive layer with this roll that may cause wrapping around it and equipment stops.
- curtain coating method is employed for coating a substrate (S) with and simultaneously as the co-extruded multilayer structure ( 1 ) is formed ( FIG. 3 ).
- the melt curtain thickness is lower than 2 ⁇ m it becomes to be disturbed by the air flows generated around the cooling roll (C-R).
- a vacuum box (V) can be used to support the melt curtain onto the cooling roll (C-R) surface ( FIG. 4 ).
- compositions for preparing the co-extruded multilayer structure can be:
- Extensional thinning layer linear low density polyethylene MFI preferably from 2 to 30; layer thickness from 0.5 to 6 ⁇ m.
- Extensional thickening layer low density polyethylene MFI 2 to 30 blended with a hydrocarbon Tackifier, which is fully compatible with the blended polymer.
- the hydrocarbon tackifier is preferably selected from the group of an average molecular weight from 600 to 3,000 in an amount of 15% to 60% by weight, preferably from 20 to 40% by weight of the total weight of the extensional thickening layer; layer thickness from 0.1 to 6 ⁇ m.
- Extensional thinning layer PP homo-polymer or co-polymer MFI 2 to 30; layer thickness from 0.5 to 6 ⁇ m.
- Extensional thickening layer long branched High melt strength polypropylene or in situ long branched polypropylene via crosslinking, MFI 2 to 30; blended with a hydrocarbon tackifier, which is fully compatible with the base polymer.
- the hydrocarbon tackifier is preferably selected from the group of an average molecular weight from 1,000 to 3,000 in a proportion of 15% to 60% by weight, preferably from 20% to 40% by weight of the total weight of the extensional thickening layer; thickness from 0.1 to 6 ⁇ m.
- This second composition is especially suitable for coated substrates for the production of non-breathable diaper back-sheets when the substrate is a non-woven or complex packaging coatings.
- Substrate can be a cellulose paper, a metal layer, especially aluminium, or a polymeric layer, and packaging material for bags when the substrate is a textile and especially woven raffia.
- compositions for preparing a water vapour breathable coated polypropylene non-woven extruding a co-extruded multilayer film in extrusion-coating, curtain coating or extrusion-laminating equipment onto a polypropylene non-woven substrate can be:
- This combination of polymers and layers can reach critical drawdown ratios higher than 150 and Mocon ASTM 1249 water vapour breathability between 3.000 and 20.000 g/m 2 day.
- polyolef in filaments are extruded in a bi-component core-sheath filament extrusion equipment or spun-melt nonwoven equipment with the following compositions:
- a similar embodiment is performed by using a simple filament extrusion (instead the bi-component one) and a higher viscosity polymer at lower volume percent in the core than the polymer viscosity and volume percent in the sheath.
- Extensional thinning polyolefin Polypropylene homo or co-polymer or Linear low density polyethylene, MFI 10 to 30; 60% to 85% of the total weight; compatible Tackifier from 5% to 10% by weight.
- three layers were extruded simultaneously to obtain a blown co-extruded multilayer film with improved bubble stability at high draw-down.
- the layer composition comprises:
- Example 1 See Cross Section in FIG. 1
- Example 2 See Cross Section in FIG. 2 . Same Product and Composition than Example 1 but Using a Vacuum Box and Cooling on Cast Roll Surface (FIG. 4 )
