Definitions
- Pre-expanded polyolefin particles made by extrusion
- the invention relates to prefoamed polyolefin particles produced by extrusion and subsequent granulation.
- Pre-expanded polyolefin particles in particular based on a copolymer of propylene with small amounts of ethylene, are being used to an increasing extent for the production of foam molded parts in the automotive, packaging and leisure sectors.
- the foam particles are usually produced by suspending finely divided polyolefin granules in water, impregnating them with a volatile blowing agent under pressure at temperatures close to the softening temperature of the polyolefin, relaxing and thereby foaming (see EP-A 53333).
- the polyolefin has a special crystal structure, which is characterized in that it has a peak characteristic of the polyolefin and a high-temperature peak (so-called “double peak”) in a DSC curve.
- EP-A 588 321 describes a particularly elegant and simple method for producing prefoamed polypropylene particles.
- Polypropylene is melted in an extruder, a blowing agent is injected into this melt and mixed homogeneously at 125 to 250.degree. The homogeneous mass is pressed out through a round nozzle, foams up and is cut into foam particles.
- the polypropylene used should have a melt strength of 5 to 40 cN and a branched structure.
- the foam particles produced in this way have a very narrow processing range in the production of molded parts and do not weld sufficiently well to one another. For this reason, the molded parts have relatively poor mechanical properties; especially elongation at break and tensile strength leave something to be desired.
- the invention was therefore based on the object of providing pre-foamed polyolefin particles which had been produced from a conventional, ie not melt-strengthened, polyolefin by extrusion and subsequent granulation and which can be welded to molded parts with good mechanical properties without problems. It was found that this is the case if the polyolefin in the foam particles has a crystal structure with a double peak, the distance between the two tips being at least 5 ° C., preferably more than 8 ° C.
- polyolefins are crystalline olefin polymers whose X-ray crystallinity is above 25% at 25 ° C.
- Low, medium and high density polyethylenes between 0.88 to 0.965 g / cm 3 polypropylene and ethylene and propylene copolymers which contain at least 50 mol% of ethylene or propylene units are suitable for the process.
- Suitable comonomers are, for example, ⁇ -alkenes having up to 12 carbon atoms, such as ethylene, propylene, butene, pentene, hexene, octene, and also vinyl esters, such as vinyl acetate, esters of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid or fumaric acid with alcohols which have 1 to 8 Contain carbon atoms, copolymers of ethylene and acrylic acid or their derivatives, and ionomers. Mixtures of different olefin polymers can also be used.
- Ethylene-propylene copolymers and copolymers of ethylene and / or propylene with a C 4 - bis are preferably used
- propylene copolymers are copolymers of propylene with 0.5 to 6% by weight of ethylene or 0.5 to 15% by weight of butene (1).
- Particularly preferred ethylene copolymers are copolymers of ethylene with 1 to 18% by weight of butene (1), hexene (1) or octene (1).
- a C 4 - to C 8 - ⁇ -01e-fin such as butene-1, pentene-1, hexene-1, heptene-1 or octene-1.
- the copolymers should have a G modulus of 100 to 900, preferably 150 to 750 N / mm 2 .
- the copolymers are prepared in a known manner by copolymerizing the monomers using transition metal catalysts.
- the copolymers are generally linear, uncrosslinked and not melt-solidified.
- the crystallite point, determined by the DSC method is generally zwi ⁇ rule 95 and 170 C C.
- the heat of fusion is generally from 30 to 130 J / g, preferred wise between 35 and 120 J / g.
- Copolymers with a melt index MFI (230; 2.16) (according to DIN 53 735) of 0.1 to 50, in particular 0.5 to 20 [g / 10 min] are preferably used.
- the foam particles according to the invention are produced by impregnating polyolefin particles with a blowing agent in an extruder at a low temperature, homogenizing and dwelling the mass at higher temperatures and finally pressing out with foaming.
- the polyolefin particles are impregnated with a volatile blowing agent.
- Fine semolina with particle sizes of 0.01 to 10 mm, such as is obtained directly in the polymerization, or granules with particle sizes of 0.1 to 10 mm, as is obtained in the extrusion of the polyolefin, can be used.
- Suitable blowing agents are organic compounds with boiling points between 0 and 150 ° C., for example n-butane, isobutane, n-pentane, isopentane, neopentane, cyclopentane or cyclohexane, heptanes, octanes,
- Halogenated hydrocarbons and their mixtures The amount of blowing agent depends on the desired bulk density of the foam particles. It is preferably 5 to 40, in particular 8 to 30 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of polyolefin. At this point it is also possible to add conventional additives in effective amounts, such as dyes, pigments, nucleating agents, stabilizers, flame retardants, lubricants and antistatic agents.
- the polyolefin particles are impregnated with the blowing agent preferably in the only slightly sheared feed zone of an extruder. It is essential that the swelling takes place at a relatively low temperature, ie the temperature must be 50 to 180, preferably 100 to 150 ° C. below the crystalline melting point of the polyolefin and at least 10 ° C. below the boiling point of the blowing agent, so that the latter does not evaporate.
- the temperature By applying an excess pressure of maximum 10 bar, low-boiling blowing agents, such as butanes, can also be metered in at room temperature.
- the polyolefin particles are fed to zone A, for example via a cell-wheel lock.
- the temperature in the zone A is preferably zwi ⁇ 's 10 and 40 C C, especially at room temperature.
- the residence time in this zone is preferably 0.1 to 5 minutes.
- the polyolefin is soaked with the blowing agent to such an extent that its viscosity is greatly reduced.
- zone B The described lowering of the viscosity makes it possible to carry out the homogenization in zone B at temperatures which are 2 to 50 ° C., preferably 5 to 40 ° C. below the crystallite melting point of the pure polyolefin lie. This is a further advantage over the method according to EP-A 588 321, where extrusion takes place at considerably higher temperatures.
- This homogenization with simultaneous temperature increase is preferably carried out in a second zone (homogenization zone) of the extruder already used in stage A.
- zine B in order to regulate the cell diameter, small amounts (for example 0.1 to 5% by weight) of carbon dioxide or nitrogen can be metered in.
- the mass is then kept for a time, preferably 1 to 60 minutes, at a temperature which is 2 to 50 ° C. below the crystalline melting point of the polyolefin.
- This is expediently carried out in a residence time zone C downstream of zone B, for example a static mixer (Sulzer mixer) or a low-shear extruder (single-screw extruder).
- the resulting foam particles are ellipsoid to spherical.
- the average diameter is 2 to 20 mm.
- Their debris weight can be set within wide limits between 0.01 and 0.2 g ⁇ cm "-, preferably between 0.01 and 0.15 g • cm -1 .
- the number of cells is generally 0.1 to 1000 cells per mm 2 .
- Shaped parts with good mechanical properties can be produced in a conventional manner from the pre-expanded particles according to the invention by welding.
- a dwell time zone C consisting of 4 Sulzer mixers (DN * • »80 mm) was connected to the gear pump. These were kept at 130 ° C. After a dwell time of 45 min, the polymer containing blowing agent was pressed out of a round nozzle with a diameter of 2 mm and was blown by means of a granulator from
- the foam particles obtained had a diameter of 10 mm. Their bulk density was .22 g • L ⁇ -.
- the DSC curve shows two maxima at 146 ° C and 160 ° C.
