Definitions

  • the present invention relates to coated metallic strands or ligatures employed for packaging, such as metal wire or strapping, and to methods of preparing the same.
  • Thin metallic bands or strapping are employed in the packaging of materials to secure the packages.
  • such b ands or strapping are placed around the package to be secured and, by the use of suitable tools, drawn tight and the overlapping ends secured together by crimping or other suitable means.
  • the strapping may also be used to secure heavy objects in place, as, for example, in freight cars.
  • bands or strapping are provided with a protective coating which improves their appearance and protects them against abrasion and corrosion. While baked enamels have hitherto been employed in some cases as coatings for such strapping, such coating materials are unduly expensive, and by reason of the nature of the coating and baking operations involved, the speed of coating is much slower than that of manufacture of the strapping. Hence its use either greatly slows down the rate of production of finishing the strapping if the coating process is incorporated in the production line, or requires a separate finishing operation. A similar situation applies when wire is employed in packaging.
  • the strapping or other tying material hereinafter generally referred.
  • the coating must fulfill certain exacting requirements. It must be capable of application at high rates of speed and, in accordance with this invention the coating. material is a moderately high melting material and is applied in molten form, so that it can be rapidly cooled in the continuing movement of the strapping in connection with the manufacturing operation. It is also necessary that the coating provide adequate corrosion protection even when applied in very thin films and that it provide a hard and abrasion resistant film.
  • the coating must be flexible and adherent, to withstand bending, as at the corners of packages to which the strapping is applied.
  • the coating When used for tying packages, it is also important that the coating have a property known as slip, so that the coated strapping will slide over the surfaces of the packages to which the strapping is applied and so that overlapping surfaces of the strapping, evenwhen held together under pressures such as are employed in tensioning the strapping on a package, can slide over each other Without excessive tension and at the same time have sufiicient friction so that they are held together by the crimping or fastening operation. With bare or oxidecoated strapping and with baked enamel coatings, it has heretofore been necessary to apply a wax or waxlike film to secure the desired slip.
  • coated strands which meet the requirements set forth above may be readily and rapidly produced while the strands are in rapid movement in a production line, suitable coating material being employed under conditions which permit the rapid movement of the strand.
  • suitable coating material being employed under conditions which permit the rapid movement of the strand.
  • the numeral 10 designates the strand, for example, strapping which is produced by conventional preliminary operations, not shown, in which thin, cold rolled steel sheet is slit to form bands of a suitable width and the bands deburred on the edges.
  • the strapping, entering the finishing operations as illustrated in the drawing, is thus an edge-finished thin metal band of a width and thickness suitable for use in packaging.
  • the band may be 0.020 inch thick and inch wide, although other widths and thicknesses are used, depending upon the use to which the band is to be placed.
  • only one band is shown in the di agrammatic illustration in the drawing, it will be understood that a considerable number of such bands, as produced in the slitting and edge-finishing operation, may be processed simultaneously.
  • the strapping entering the processing operation is first subjected to a cleaning operation.
  • a cleaning operation may be guided over a suitable roller 11 and passed through a molten lead bath 12 maintained at a temperature of say 750 to 950 F.
  • a cleaning action takes place, surface adherent material being removed, and in the case of oil or other organic matter, burned away.
  • the temperature of this bath is not critical, and is suflicient to effect cleaning and if desired, to heat the strapping to a temperature at which bluing may be effected as hereinafter set forth.
  • a suitable bath may be 8 to 10 feet long.
  • the strapping is guided through the bath by guide rollers 13 and 14 or by other suitable means, and emerges through a vertical chute 15 having a funnel shape top 16, which is filled with charcoal.
  • the slow combustion of the charcoal maintains in this chute an atmosphere of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and the charcoal also serves to effectively wipe the molten lead from the strapping.
  • the strapping may be at a temperature of 750 to 800 F. as it emerges from the charcoal. Other cleaning methods may be employed.
  • the strapping may be passed through a heated conduit, pref erably in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, in which adherent oil or organic matter is burned oif.
  • the strapping After cleaning the strapping may be immediately cooled to a temperature suitable for the coating operation as hereinafter described. If desired, the strapping may be subjected to a bluing operation after leaving the lead bath or other cleaning device, in which case the cleaning device is maintained at a somewhat higher temperature of, say, 850 to 950 F. In such case the strapping after emerging from the cleaning operation has a temperature of at least 800 F. and may be subjected to a longer exposure to air to effect bluing, in the customary manner.
  • the strapping after leaving the charcoal chute, passes vertically through a duct 17 in which the surface of the strap becomes blued and is at the same time somewhat cooled.
  • the strap after emerging from the lead bath, and after bluing if desired, passes over guide roll 18 and through guide rolls 19, from which it passes into the container or tank 20, in which it is immersed in the molten coating material employed in accordance with the present invention.
  • the tank 20 In the tank 20 it is forced to pass below the surface of the molten coating material by the action of guide roll 21.
  • the tank 20 is provided with a heating jacket or other suitable heating means and is maintained at a temperature suitable for keeping the coating composition in mol ten condition and for effecting the coating of the straping.
  • the composition may suitably be maintained at a temperature of 350 to 560 F. and the strapping enters the bath preferably at a somewhat higher temperature, say 500 to 700 F. although it may enter the bath at a temperature approximately the same as the temperature of the molten coating composition.
  • the temperature of the strapping as it enters the coating tank be from about 50 to about 200 F. above that of the coating composition.
  • the strapping leaves the tank through wipers 23, which may suitably be tungsten carbide rods or plates, although other suitable wiping devices such as glass fiber wicks or the like may be employed.
  • the wipers are set to secure the desired thickness of coating on the strapping, suitable thicknesses of coating being, for example, in the range of 0.00005 to 0.00020 inch, although thicker coatings, say up to 0.001 inch may be applied if a greater degree of climatic or corrosion resistance is desired.
  • the thickness of the coating is likewise influenced by the speed and temperature of the strapping and the temperature of the bath.
  • the strapping After leaving the coating tank 20, the strapping is at once guided by suitable guide rolls 24, 25 and 26 through a cooling or quenching tank 27 containing Water, suitably at a temperature of 50 to 150 F. or at least below 200 F. The strapping then passes on to conventional reeling machinery, not shown.
  • the temperature of the lead bath is kept in the lower portion of the range hereinbefore set forth, so that the strapping emerges from the bath at a temperature not over 800 F., and the path through which the strapping travels before entering the coating bath is made as short as possible so as to reduce the contact of the hot strapping with the air to a minimum.
  • the strapping enters the coating bath which is maintained at a temperature in the order of 350 to 560 F.
  • the principal constituent of the coating composition is a nylon or polymeric amide (sometimes designated superpolyamide) derived from a polyalkylene diamine and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid.
  • the nylon employed be a polymer of the amide resulting from the reaction of hexamethylene diamine with adipic acid, the extent of polymerization being indicated by a melting point (in air) in the range from 160 to 250 C. (320 to 480 F.).
  • Such nylons may be designated as 6-6 nylons, since both the diamine and the dicarboxylic acid employed in forming the monomeric salt have six carbon atoms.
  • the number of carbon atoms in the diamine employed in forming the monomer of the nylon employed may be from 4 to 8 and the number of carbon atoms in the dicarboxylic acid may be from to 10.
  • nylons employed suitably may be polymers of the monomer derived from the reaction of hexamethylene diamine and sebacic acid; of hexamethylene diamine and suberic acid; of pentamethylene diamine and adipic acid; of pentamethylene diamine and suberic acid; of octamethylene diamine and adipic acid or of octamethylene diamine and sebacic acid.
  • the polymers employed are those having melting points in the range hereinbefore stated.
  • Suitable abietic acid derivatives are rosin.
  • the proportions of the softening material incorporated in the nylon mixture may be from 1 to 50% and preferably from 10 to 33%.
  • residual high melting point rosin known commercially as Vinsol and having a softening point by the A.S.T.M. ring and ball method of about 220 to 230 F., be incorporated in the nylon in proportions of from 10 to 33% of the mixture and preferably about 20%.
  • the glycerol esters of rosin (ester. gum) and of hydrogenated rosin are preferably employed in similar proportions.
  • the nylon mixtures employed in carrying out the present invention have a lower melting point and are less viscous when molten than the nylon constituent and are distinguished by the fact that they are capable of forming a thinner and more adherent protective coating than the nylon constituent alone.
  • the coatings formed by these mixtures are hard, smooth and substantially transparent and do not impart an objectionable color to the strapping. They are sufficiently flexible, resistant to abrasion, and prevent corrosion of the strapping. Furthermore, such coatings, in general, without waxing, have the desired slip in use and when superimposed portions of the strapping are held together under substantial pressure.
  • Two pieces of strapping of a size suitable for use in. packaging, for example, /4 inch wide and 0.020 inch thick are superimposed over a stainless steel bar 7 inch wide.
  • a weight of 45 pounds is then applied to the superimposed straps over the bar, this giving a pressure of approximately pounds per square inch over a contact area of sq. in.
  • the upper strap is clamped firmly in place and tension is applied to the lower strap through a spring scale until the lower strap is caused to slip.
  • the tension shown by the scale is an inverse indication of slip, the slip being greater the lower the tension indicated. Under these conditions, a waxed, blued steel strapping shows. a slip in the order of 11 to 13 pounds.
  • the results secured in this way give comparable indications of the force required to be exerted with the same strapping in the use of a tool such as isordinarily employed in stretching and crimping or binding the overlapping strapping in a packaging operation.
  • a tool such as isordinarily employed in stretching and crimping or binding the overlapping strapping in a packaging operation.
  • an indicated slip of from about 5 to about 20 pounds is satisfactory from the standpoint of use of the strapping in securing packages in the conventional manner.
  • the coated materials prepared in accordance with the present invention adequately meet the requirements hereinbefore set forth.
  • the coating mixtures employed in accordance with the present invention may be prepared by melting the nylon and incorporating the added constituents therein by any suitable method, for example, in a suitable melting pot or in conventional melters of the extruder type; or the materials may be compounded on a compounding mill such as is used for compounding rubber.
  • the coating container or pot is maintained at a temperature of 350 to 560 F., at which temperatures the coating mixture has a sufficiently low viscosity to permit of the formation of very thin coatings, in the order of a thickness of 0.00005 to 0.0006 inch and preferably in the range from 0.00006 to 0.00010 inch. Thicker coatings may be applied, if desired, say to 0.001 inch or thicker.
  • the thickness of the film is controlled in part by the action of the wipers employed in connection with the coating tank, such as the wipers 23.
  • the temperature at which the coating is applied and the speed of travel of the strapping may be varied to control the thickness of the coating.
  • the coated strapping After passing through the coating tank, the coated strapping is cooled or chilled as quickly as possible to solidify the coating, for example, by passing through a quenching water bath, as illustrated at 27, containing water at a temperature below the melting point of the coating composition and suitably at a temperature of 50 to 150 F.
  • Example 1 Blued strapping at an approximate temperature of 700 F. was passed through a bath containing 60% nylon and 40% ester gum derived from high melting point residual rosin (commercially known as Vinsol ester gum) and maintained at a temperature of about 470 F.
