Definitions
- This invention relates to the field of glass containers. More particularly, this invention relates to the field of strength enhancement for glass containers.
- the present invention will be described with reference to bottles, but it will be understood that as used herein, the term "glass container” is intended to include all types of glass articles used for the storage and/or containment of various substances, including, for example, bottles, jars, tumblers, glasses, etc.
- Such blemishes may occur at any time during the life of the bottle, such as in the manufacturing process when the bottles are brought into contact with each other at various stages of manufacture, in the filling stage where contents are introduced into the bottle, in handling, inspection, packaging, or shipping, or in consumer use of the bottle.
- These blemishes reduce both the burst strength of the bottle, i.e., the resistance to internal pressure loading and the impact strength of the bottle, i.e., the resistance to external impact loading.
- the flaw sites on the surface of a bottle are stress concentration sites, and breakage tends to occur at such stress concentration sites. It is also known that water on the surface of a bottle contributes to strength degradation and bottle failure. Chemically absorbed water forms hydroxyl bonds with silica, and this tends to further weaken the bottle at the site of any flaw. Thus, the strength of a bottle degrades over time.
- bottles with carbonated liquids or other pressurized contents such as soda, beer, champagne, etc.
- Bottles with such contents are under substantial internal pressure, and surface flaws can lead to bursting of the bottle (either spontaneously or as the result of a small impact load that would not affect an unflawed, or less flawed, bottle) .
- bursting poses a threat of injury to anyone in the vicinity from glass fragments, and it also results in a substantial mess that has to be cleaned up.
- a coating is applied to glass container to enhance the burst and impact strength of the containers.
- the coating can be applied to new bottles during the manufacturing process, or the coating can be applied to used bottles in the course of bottle recycling. While use of the process of the first embodiment during the manufacture of new bottles should be of special interest to bottle manufacturers, the use of the process for treating recycled bottles should also be of considerable interest and importance in view of increased environmental concerns and the expansion of recycling practices, whether voluntary or mandatory.
- the material used for the coating in both the first and second embodiments of the present invention is a film forming acrylate monomer, a crosslinking acrylate monomer, a silane adhesion promoting agent reactive with glass and with additional functionality capable of reacting with acrylates, a curing agent, and additives (such as surface active agents, cure speed enhancers, flow agents) .
- Important aspects of the process of the first embodiment are that (1) the bottles be heated prior to application of the strength enhancing coating, with new bottles being heated to the annealing temperature of 550°C and recycled bottles being heated to at least 500°C and (2) that the strength enhancement coating be applied within six (6) hours after the bottles have been returned to room temperature (RT) .
- the coating is applied immediately after the bottles exit from the annealing lehr (where the bottle temperature may be anywhere between 50 C and 200 C) or within one hour after the bottles leave the annealing lehr.
- the strength enhancing coating of the first embodiment is applied before the cold and coating to bottles that have been heated to the annealing temperature of 550°C and cooled in a lehr; or the coating can be applied in lieu of the cold end coating if a sufficiently lubricious hot end coating is used whereby the cold end coating can be eliminated.
- the coating of the first embodiment is still to be applied prior to or in lieu of the cold end coating.
- the bottles For application of the coating to recycled bottles, the bottles must be heated to the range of 500°C - 520°C, preferably, to at least 510°C before the strength enhancing coating is applied. It is important to note that this temperature is below the annealing temperature of glass, thereby eliminating the need for a long controlled cool-down required when the annealing temperature is reached.
- the strength enhancement coating is applied after and over the conventional cold end coating in the manufacture of new bottles.
- the second embodiment involves the discovery that the strength enhancement coating can be applied over a cold end coating and still produce an effective strength enhancement. This is unexpected and surprising, and it is of particular interest in the manufacture of new bottles, but is also useful in bottle recycling.
- the material used for the coating in both the first and second embodiments is a film forming acrylate monomer, a crosslinking acrylate monomer, a silane adhesion promoting agent with additional functionality capable of reacting with acrylates, a curing agent and additives.
- the class of film forming monomers suitable for use in the invention includes the following examples: ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,6 hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, neopentyl glycol diacrylate, ethoxylated bisphenol A di(meth)acrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl (meth) acrylate, isobornyl acrylate, tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth)acrylate and many others known from the literature and commercial suppliers.
- the class of crosslinking agents suitable for use in the invention including the following representative examples: trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, ditrimethylolpropane tetraacrylate, triacrylate of tris (2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, pentaerythritol triacrylate.
- the class of silane adhesion promoters suitable for use in the invention includes the following representative examples: methacryloxypropyltrichlorosilane, methacryloxypropyl- methyldiethoxysilane, mercaptopropylmethyl dimethoxysilane, mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, mercaptomethylmethyldiethoxy- silane, acryloxypropylmethyl dichlorosilane, aminophenyl- trimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 4-aminobutyl- triethoxysilane.
- the class of photoinitiators suitable for use in the invention includes the following representative examples: benzil, benzophenone, camphorquinone, benzoin n-butyl ether, thioxanthone, isopropyl thioxanthone, 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenyl- acetophenone, 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, 2-benzyl-2-N-Dimethylamino 1- (4-morpholino ⁇ henyl-l-butanone)
- the coating is cured by UV irradiation.
- thermally activated free-radical initiators may also be used either in conjunction with photoinitiators or by themselves for curing. Examples of these compounds include: azobisisobutyronitrile, paramethane hydroperoxide, benzoyl hydroperoxide, pinane hydroperoxide, azobiscyanovaleric acid and dicumyl peroxide.
- FIGURE 1 shows a schematic of a glass container manufacturing line in accordance with the first embodiment.
- FIGURE 2 shows a schematic of a glass container manufacturing line in accordance with the second embodiment. Description of the Preferred Embodiment:
- FIGURE 1 shows a schematic of a glass container manufacturing line.
- the line shown in FIGURE 1 is conventional except for the addition of the strength enhancement coating station between the exit from the lehr and the cold end spray station.
- molten glass is delivered from a furnace 10 to molds in a forming machine 12 where the bottles are formed.
- the bottles then move in a single line on to a hot end coating hood 14 where a thin (typically a few Angstroms thick) coating of tin oxide (or titanium oxide) is formed on the bottle.
- tin oxide or titanium oxide
- the bottles are then formed into a multi-bottle row and are moved by a push bar 16 onto a conveyer belt which carries the rows of bottles through annealing lehr 18 where the bottles are heated to the annealing temperature of about 550 C and then cooled to a lehr exit temperature of from 50 C to 200°C (typically, about 100-120°C) .
- the bottles After exiting the lehr, the bottles, in conventional manufacture, pass through a cold end coating station 20 where a thin (typically 0.5 Angstroms thick) cold end coating is applied.
- the cold end coating is a lubricious coating to permit the bottles to slip or slide by each other to minimize impact damage between contacting bottles in subsequent manufacturing steps.
- a strength enhancement coating station 26 is added to the conventional manufacturing line at a location between the exit from lehr 18 and the cold end spray station 20. At strength enhancement coating station 26, the bottles are coated with the strength enhancement coating to achieve a significant enhancement of strength.
- the coating delivered at station 26 is a thin film of a film forming acrylate monomer, a crosslinking acrylate monomer, a silane adhesion promoting agent (to promote binding of the film to the bottle) with additional functionality capable of reacting with acrylates, a UV curing agent, and additives (such as, for example, surface active agents, cure speed enhancers, flow agents).
- the ingredients can be mixed together to form a neat formation to be applied to the bottles in a single application step, or the ingredients can be diluted with suitable solvents (such as, e.g., methyl ethyl ketone) .
- a two step process can be employed, with the silane adhesion promoting agent being applied first to the outer surface of the bottles, and the rest of the ingredients then being applied as a separate mixture in a second step.
- the coating is cured at station 26 by exposure to UV radiation until it is tack free (usually requiring about 1-5 seconds of UV exposure) .
- Any suitable bottle handling apparatus can be used at station 26 to dip or spray coat the bottles so that preferably the full exterior surface (including the bottom) of each bottle will be coated.
- the coating could be applied to only those portions of the bottles most susceptible to breakage.
- examples 1-6, 8, 10 and 11 the following neat mixture was prepared and applied by dip coating slides or bottles followed by an approximate hang time of 10 minutes.
- the film thicknesses after UV curing ranged from 0.75 micron up to 10 microns on some areas of the bottles.
- the neat mixture below was used to dip coat slides which were then hung for 10 minutes.
- the final thickness after UV curing of the film was approximately 1 micron.
- trimethlolpropane triacrylate 20 gm 1,3 butylene glycol diacrylate
- Example 9 was performed using the mixture listed here which produced an approximately 1 micron thick coating after dip coating, hanging for 10 minutes and UV curing.
- bottles were treated in accordance with the present invention and then burst tested; and the results were compared to similar untreated bottles.
- glass slides were treated in accordance with the present invention, and then broken on a tensile tester; and the results were compared to similar untreated glass slides (such testing of glass slides being an accepted test method for determining strength and other properties of glass) .
- Microscope slides (1" x 3" x 0.25") were visually selected to be free of gross defects, especially at the edges.
- the slides were purposely flawed, either by a Vickers indentation, or by grit blast abrasion.
- Standard Procedure 2 The standard procedure used for treating new glass bottles (Standard Procedure 2) was as follows: (1) Freshly formed containers (pressure ware; beer or soda bottles) on a production line were carefully picked off the line just after the molding operation using gloved personnel. The bottles selected were all formed in the same mold. These bottles were marked for identification, and placed back on the line upstream of the hot end coating (tin oxide) for application of the hot end coating before entering the lehr.
- the bottles were dip coated with the strength enhancing coating. Coating was performed by dipping the bottles individually in the formulation in a stainless steel container kept at 50 C. The bottles were allowed to sit for 10 minutes to drain. Reference or control bottles were not coated. (5) The bottles were then cured by exposure to UV irradiation. Curing was done by inverting the bottles on a turn-table pedestal and irradiated with three Fusion Co. mercury lamps until the coating surface was tack free. (6) Strength values were determined by bursting the containers on an American Glass Research (AGR) Co. pressure tester. Water was pumped into the containers until they burst and the pressure recorded. The bursting load is referred to as inert strength. (7) The bursting loads of the treated bottles were compared with the bursting loads of untreated bottles (which were broken as in step (6) to generate strength enhancement data and ratios.

- SE strength enhancement ratio
- bottles should be heated above the annealing temperature of 550 C. That is easily accomplished as part of the manufacturing process for new bottles which are heated to or above the annealing temperature and control cooled in the lehr. However, for used bottles being recycled it may not be practicable to heat the bottles to the annealing temperature and then go through the required controlled cool down.
- the bottles should be heated to a temperature of from about 500°C to about 520°C, preferably, from about 510°C to 520°C, which will be sufficient to relieve stresses in the glass but which should not be so high as to require annealing controlled cool-down.
- Groups of twelve newly formed commercial pressure ware bottles were selected and treated in accordance with Standard Procedure 2 set forth above, so as to be intentionally flawed and have a UV cured coating of strength enhancing Mixture 1 thereon.
- Groups of twelve bottles, newly formed at about the same time from the same mold but without the strength enhancing coating, were also selected for reference purposes. All of the bottles were heated to at least the annealing temperature of 550 C and subjected to controlled cool down in a lehr. Both the test and reference bottles were intentionally flawed by forming a one inch scratch on the center sidewall with a (silicon carbide) glazier's wheel. Water was then pumped into each of the bottles to load the bottles to bursting on an AGR pressure tester, and the burst pressure was recorded.
- Example 1 shows a significant strength enhancement for the coated bottles. It also shows that strength enhancement was greatest for those bottles coated immediately after RT was reached; that substantial strength enhancement was achieved when the bottles were coated 6 hours after reaching RT (the ratios of 1.80 and 1.93 being considered essentially the same); and that strength enhancement dropped off for the Group 4 bottles, which represent an extended aged condition of the bottles before coating.
- EXAMPLE 2 shows a significant strength enhancement for the coated bottles. It also shows that strength enhancement was greatest for those bottles coated immediately after RT was reached; that substantial strength enhancement was achieved when the bottles were coated 6 hours after reaching RT (the ratios of 1.80 and 1.93 being considered essentially the same); and that strength enhancement dropped off for the Group 4 bottles, which represent an extended aged condition of the bottles before coating.
- Example 2 confirm the results of Example 1 for recycled glass which is heated above the annealing temperature.
- Table 1 shows the SE ratio results for the various groups of bottles and slides of Examples 1 and 2 normalized to room temperature. This shows that the level of strength enhancement falls of with increased passage of time between reaching room temperature and the application of the strength enhancing coating (the water immersion and water boil being aging procedures) .
- Example 3 The results of Example 3 indicate that significant strength enhancement is achieved for both smaller and larger flaws, and that greater strength enhancement is achieved for more serious flaws.
- Example 3 The procedure of Example 3 was repeated for three groups of 10 slides each. The slides were all subjected to 3 kg Vickers loading and all slides were coated with Mixture 1. The variable in this test was the temperature at which the slides were coated after heat treatment to 600 C for 1 hour. One group was coated at RT, a second group was coated at 200°C, before reaching RT and a third group was coated at
- Example 4 The procedure of Example 4 was repeated for two groups of 10 slides, each group being coated at 400°C.
- the variable was that one group was cooled to RT and then heated to 400°C for coating; the other group was coated at 400 C before reaching RT.
- the results were as follows:
- Example 3 The procedure of Example 3 was repeated for three groups of 10 slides each, with the variables being water immersion (to simulate aging) and heat treatment. All of the slides were heated to 600°F for 1 hour. One group was coated at RT. A second group was cooled to RT, aged in water for 24 hours, and then coated at RT. A third group was cooled to RT, aged 24 hours (without water immersion), and then heated to 400°C and coated. The results were as follows:
- Standard Procedure 1 was followed for a plurality of groups of 10 slides each, some coated and some uncoated, except that the heat treatment was varied.
- the variations in heat treatment are indicated in the "Pretreatment” column below.
- An entry "NONE” means there was no heat treatment for either the coated or uncoated slides.
- the entries of 100°C, 300°C, etc. mean that the slides were heated to the indicated temperature, allowed to cool to RT, and then coated with the strength enhancing coating at the indicated times after the temperature was reached (e.g., RT + IM (immediate); RT + 1 Hr., RT + ID (day) etc.).
- the other header columns listed below are Group No. (self explanatory); T/B Hrs.
- results of this example indicate that the effects of aging on heat treated glass (as simulated by water immersion and/or boiling) can be somewhat offset by reheating to about 400°C before coating with the strength enhancing coating. That result may be due to the fact that heating to 400°C will drive off all physically adsorbed water.
- results of this example indicate that consistently significant strength enhancement is achieved by heat treating to 520°C and coating with the strength enhancement coating. Additional increases inert strength are noted when the heat treatment is increased to 600°C. However, that additional increase in inert strength is apparently attributable to stress relief occurring as the result of heating the glass to or beyond the annealing temperature, since no additional strength enhancement was noted.
- Groups of twelve newly formed commercial pressure ware bottles were selected and treated in accordance with Standard Procedure 2 set forth above, so as to be intentionally flawed and have a UV cured coating of strength enhancing Mixture 1 thereon.
- Groups of twelve bottles, newly formed at about the same time and from the same mold but without the strength enhancing coating, were also selected for reference purposes. All of the bottles were heated to at least the annealing temperature of 550 C and subjected to controlled cool down in a lehr.
- the reference bottles were also intentionally flawed by forming a scratch on the center sidewall with a (silicon carbide) glaziers wheel. Water was then pumped into each of the bottles to load the bottles to bursting on an AGR pressure tester, and the burst pressure was recorded. This test was performed for several groups of coated bottles and similarly treated uncoated bottles. The results are as follows:
- the bottles in Group 1 were manufactured in the morning of a given day; the bottles in group 2 were made in the afternoon of that same day; the bottles in Group 3 were made the next day.
- the data of the examples 1-10 indicate some surprising and unexpected results. It is known that water is physically absorbed on the surface of glass, and that water is a negative for strength enhancements because it interferes with the bonding of strength enhancing coatings to the glass. It is also known that this physically absorbed water begins to be driven off if the glass is heated to about 100°C, and substantially all of this physically absorbed water is driven off at about 400°C. It has also heretofore been thought that the efficacy of strength enhancement coatings could be improved by heating the glass to 400 C to drive off the physically absorbed water to thereby promote bonding of strength enhancing coatings to the glass. If that were the case, the data should have shown a marked improvement at 400 C; but that was not the case with this invention.
- the strength enhancing coating is applied downstream of and after the application of a conventional cold end coating, or perhaps a modified version thereof.
- FIGURE 2 illustrates the second embodiment where the strength enhancing station 26 is located downstream of the cold end spray station 20. Station 26 is shown at a location where the bottles are in multi-bottle rows. However, the strength enhancing station could be located downstream of the point where the rows of bottles converge to form a single line, because the lubricating effects of the cold end coating are available for the transition to the single line arrangement of bottles.
- the bottles were dip coated with the strength enhancing coating. Coating was performed by dipping the bottles individually in the formulation in a stainless steel container kept at 50°C. The bottles were allowed to sit for 10 minutes to drain. Reference or control bottles were not coated. (6) The bottles were then cured by exposure to UV irradiation. Curing was done by inverting the bottles on a turn-table pedestal and irradiated with three Fusion Co. mercury lamps until the coating surface was tack free.
- Strength values were determined by bursting the containers on an American Glass Research (AGR) Co. pressure tester. Water was pumped into the containers until they burst and the pressure of the water at burst was recorded. The bursting load is referred to as inert strength.
- Control or reference groups of 12 bottles each were also established by treating as above, but omitting the strength enhancement coating. Master control groups were formed by omitting the cold end coating. The results were as follows:
- the coating may be acting as a "getter” to prevent water from reaching the sites of flaws on the glass surface. It is known that water is involved in degradation and failure of glass.
- a theory of the present invention, but by which we do not wish or intend to be bound, may be that the coating is passivating the stress sites (i.e., the flaws) by absorbing water until the coating gets saturated and then no more water gets absorbed; and this prevents or reduces water getting to the flaw sites.
- the mechanism which is at work is not fully understood.
- the strength enhancing coating penetrates through the cold end coating and bonds to the glass to passivate the flaw sites to prevent degradation even if water gets to the flaw sites.
- the strength enhancing coating may be acting as a "getter” to absorb water until it becomes saturated, and then no more water gets absorbed.
- the strength enhancing coating may be sitting on top of the cold end coating and contributing to the strength enhancement to some degree by acting as a stress dissipation or stress transfer laminate.
- bottles which are coated as per the present invention during initial manufacture can be recycled and recoated as taught herein without the need for any special steps to remove the original coating.
- the original coating will be dissipated by the heat treatment for recoating.
