Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for increasing the rate of heat transfer by thermal convection in a hot-melt polymer.
- the heating of polymers constitutes a preliminary preparatory phase for the treatment of polymers by thermoforming or by blowing. It is usually done by exposing the polymers to an external source of thermal radiation. The temperature rise of the polymer mass takes place gradually by convection according to a downward inclined slope. When the polymer is exposed to the source of thermal radiation, the temperature in the area near the source is higher than that in the remote area. Gradually, the temperature difference between the near area and the far area becomes less. The heat is transmitted by convection for a more or less long time which depends in particular on the temperature of the source and the thickness of the material.
- the duration of temperature rise of the polymer over its entire thickness conditions the process of shaping the material. A reduction in this duration improves the profitability of production.
- the present invention therefore proposes to reduce this heating time by convection of a mass of hot-melt polymer.
- This object is achieved by the process as defined in the preamble and characterized in exposing said polymer simultaneously to at least one source of thermal radiation and to ultrasonic vibrations, and transmitting said ultrasonic vibrations to said hot-melt polymer by applying directly to a surface of said polymer at least one energized sonotrode by an ultrasonic generator.
- the application of ultrasonic vibrations and the simultaneous exposure to a source of thermal radiation results in a reorganization of the polymer molecules by promoting their orientation in a determined direction.
- a surface of said polymer is exposed to a first source of thermal radiation and the opposite surface of said polymer to a second source of thermal radiation.
- said ultrasonic vibrations are transmitted to said hot-melt polymer by putting at least one sonotrode in contact with an intermediate liquid which is in contact with a surface of said polymer.
- said sources of thermal radiation have a temperature between 100 ° and 500 ° C and the frequency of ultrasonic vibrations is between 15 and 60 kHz.
- the time of exposure to the radiation source thermal is between 1 and 10 seconds and preferably approximately equal to 3 seconds.
- the ultrasonic vibrations are applied intermittently.
- This variant also makes it possible to modulate the rate of heat transmission in the polymer.
- the hot-melt polymer is exposed simultaneously to at least one source of thermal radiation and to ultrasonic vibrations.
- a sonotrode powered by a ultrasonic generator.
- One of its variants consists in exposing a surface of the polymer to a first source of thermal radiation, the surface opposite to a second source of thermal radiation and to simultaneously apply ultrasonic vibrations.
- the radiation sources have a temperature between 100 ° and 500 ° C and the frequency of the ultrasonic vibrations transmitted is between 15 and 60 kHz.
- thermoforming For products made of a hot-melt polymer such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) having a thickness of a few millimeters, the time of exposure to a source of thermal radiation, necessary to make them sufficiently suitable for treatment of thermoforming, is between 1 and 10 seconds and preferably around 3 seconds.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- this polyethylene terephthalate does not undergo any crystallization at a temperature equal to or higher than the glass transition temperature which is generally higher than 70 ° C.
- the structure becomes anisotropic and that the molecular chains of the hot-melt polymers are oriented in a preferential direction parallel to the axis of propagation of the ultrasonic vibrations.
- the direction of the axis of propagation of the ultrasonic vibrations is chosen according to the geometry of the objects to be thermoformed.
- the ultrasound is preferably applied in a direction which corresponds to the longest length of these objects.
- the molecular chains are aligned in this direction and promotes the propagation of ultrasonic vibrations.
