耐高温聚酯瓶的制造方法及其产品 技术领域 Manufacturing method of heat-resistant polyester bottle and product thereof
本发明涉及一种塑料成型加工方法及其产品, 特别是双向拉伸聚酯瓶 的制造方法及其产品。 背景技术 The invention relates to a plastic molding processing method and a product thereof, in particular to a manufacturing method of a biaxially stretched polyester bottle and a product thereof. Background technique
双向拉伸方法吹制热灌装用的聚酯瓶是以 PET、 PEN或其共混物为原料, 由注塑机注塑成瓶坯, 瓶还经加热软化后放入模具中进行双向拉伸吹塑, 再 把吹塑成型后的瓶子保持在加热的模具中进行热结晶。 PET bottle for hot filling is blown by biaxial stretching method. PET, PEN or blends are used as raw materials. The preform is injection molded by an injection molding machine. The bottle is also heated and softened and placed in a mold for biaxial stretching. Mold, and then keep the blow-molded bottle in a heated mold for thermal crystallization.
现有方法中, 对瓶子进行热结晶是将模具加热到 130 - 160Ό, 瓶子贴 紧模具升温而获得一定的结晶度。 该方法存在这样的缺陷: 使用高于 130°C 的模具,会使某些低分子物质及分解物析出并粘附于模具,模具需经常清洗, 当模温达到 150~160°C, 每隔 2~ 3小时需要清洗模具一次。 更高的模温将 使瓶子的热量难以被带走, 开模后难以避免瓶子变形, 所以最高模温一般只 能 160°C左右, 吹成的瓶子耐热性一般最高只能达到 96°C。 发明内容 In the existing method, the bottle is thermally crystallized by heating the mold to 130-160 ° F, and the bottle is heated close to the mold to obtain a certain degree of crystallinity. This method has such defects: using a mold higher than 130 ° C will cause some low molecular substances and decomposition products to precipitate and adhere to the mold. The mold must be cleaned frequently. When the mold temperature reaches 150 ~ 160 ° C, The mold needs to be cleaned once every 2-3 hours. Higher mold temperature will make it difficult to remove the heat from the bottle, and it is difficult to avoid bottle deformation after the mold is opened. Therefore, the maximum mold temperature is generally only about 160 ° C, and the heat resistance of the blown bottle is generally only up to 96 ° C. . Summary of the Invention
本发明的目的在于克服上述缺陷, 提供一种高结晶度的聚酯瓶生产方 法, 利用该方法可使聚酯瓶的耐热性提高到 115°C。 The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks and provide a method for producing a polyester bottle with high crystallinity, which can improve the heat resistance of the polyester bottle to 115 ° C.
本发明方法是先制作瓶还, 加热瓶坯, 在模具中双向拉伸瓶坯, 将双 向拉伸后的瓶子保持在模具中, 往瓶子内腔吹入 160~ 240°C的热气加热 0.5~5秒后, 吹入低于 100°C冷气, 瓶子冷却至 100°C以下时开模取瓶。 The method of the present invention is to first make a bottle, heat the preform, stretch the preform bidirectionally in the mold, hold the biaxially stretched bottle in the mold, and blow hot air at 160 ~ 240 ° C into the inner cavity of the bottle to heat it for 0.5 ~ After 5 seconds, blow in cold air below 100 ° C. When the bottle cools below 100 ° C, open the mold and take the bottle.
本方法中, 模具最好适当加热, 以减少瓶子与模具之间的温度梯度, 模具温度最好保持 60~ 1Q(TC, 优选是 80~90°C。 In this method, the mold is preferably heated appropriately to reduce the temperature gradient between the bottle and the mold, and the mold temperature is preferably maintained at 60 ~ 1Q (TC, preferably 80 ~ 90 ° C).
吹入瓶子内腔的热气温度最好不超过瓶坯所用聚酯材料的熔点 243 ~ 260 , 便于生产过程的操作及控制, 最好低于所用聚酯加料的熔点 20°C以 下, 釆用温度较低的热气, 加热时间应稍长, 为有利于生产效率, 热气温度 最好为 170~ 230°C, 更优选是 200 ~ 220°C。
本发明中, 热气可以釆用加热的压缩空气或惰性气体。 The temperature of the hot gas blown into the inner cavity of the bottle should not exceed the melting point of the polyester material used for the preform. 243 ~ 260, which is convenient for the operation and control of the production process, and it is preferably lower than the melting point of the polyester additive used below 20 ° C. For lower hot gas, the heating time should be slightly longer. In order to facilitate production efficiency, the hot gas temperature is preferably 170 ~ 230 ° C, more preferably 200 ~ 220 ° C. In the present invention, heated compressed air or inert gas may be used as the hot gas.
热气应保持有 0. 5 - 4. OMpa 的压力, 较好是 2. 5 - 3. 0 Mpa。 热气加热 时间最好是 1 ~ 3秒。 The hot gas should be maintained at a pressure of 0.5-4. OMpa, preferably 2.5-3. 0 Mpa. The hot gas heating time is preferably 1 to 3 seconds.
本方法中, 冷却用的冷气可使用常温或制冷的压缩空气。 在向瓶子通 入冷气降温阶段, 瓶于温度降至 100°C之前, 冷气压力最好保持 2. 5 - 3. 0 MPa, 以免瓶子收缩变形。 In this method, normal temperature or refrigerated compressed air can be used as the cold air for cooling. Before cooling the bottle with cold air, the temperature of the cold air should be kept at 2. 5-3. 0 MPa before the temperature of the bottle drops to 100 ° C, so as not to shrink and deform the bottle.
本方法适用的材料可以是吹瓶级均聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯, 或对苯二 甲酸、 间苯二甲酸和乙二醇共聚物, 或者是加入改性助剂的 PET、 PEN材料 或其共混物。 Suitable materials for this method can be blow-moulded homopolyethylene terephthalate, or terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and ethylene glycol copolymers, or PET and PEN materials with modified additives Or a blend thereof.

本发明中, 在对瓶坯进行拉伸吹塑之前, 最好先对瓶口部位作热结晶 处理, 以免在吹热气过程发生变形。 应作结晶处理的瓶口部位包括螺紋口、 受力环及其以下 3 ~ 6 亳米在吹瓶过程中尺寸没有改变的部分, 其结晶度最 好达到 50 ~ 52 %。 In the present invention, before stretch-blow molding the preform, it is preferable to perform thermal crystallization treatment on the mouth of the bottle to avoid deformation during the process of blowing hot gas. The parts of the bottle mouth that should be crystallized include the threaded mouth, the force ring and the 3 to 6 mm below it. The part that has not changed in size during the blowing process has a crystallinity of preferably 50 to 52%.

For example, using the existing method, the weight of a 500 ml bottle is not less than 32 grams, and with this method, the weight can be reduced to 26 G.
具体实施方式 detailed description
后面列出的表格是应用本发明方法吹制聚酯瓶的实施例的工艺参数和 相应制得聚酯瓶的理化参数。 The tables listed below are the process parameters of the examples of the polyester bottles blown by the method of the present invention and the corresponding physical and chemical parameters of polyester bottles.
实施例中, 吹制方法可概括为: 注塑成型瓶坯一瓶口热结晶处理一红

模具保持在 85 °C左右。 加工过程模具可能吸热升温, 需要适当降温。 经过红外线加热变软的瓶坯先进行预吹: 将瓶坯放入模具中, 由机械 方式开始纵向拉伸瓶坯后, 通入预吹气横向拉伸。 预吹气的温度约 80 Ό , 压力约 1. 0Mpa。 The mold is kept at about 85 ° C. During processing, the mold may heat up and need to be cooled appropriately. The preform that has been softened by infrared heating is pre-blown: the preform is placed in a mold, and the preform is stretched longitudinally by mechanical means, and then pre-blown and stretched laterally. The pre-blowing temperature is about 80 Ό, and the pressure is about 1.0Mpa.
实施例中, 瓶坯为圆简形, 重量 32克, 吹制后成为容量为 500ml 的圆 瓶。 拉伸时, 瓶口及受力环以下约 4亳米的部分拉伸时尺寸没有改变。 瓶颈 下方约 4亳米以下被拉伸的部分,其直径拉伸比为 2. 4倍,高度拉伸比为 2. 3 倍。 In the embodiment, the bottle blank is round and simple, weighs 32 grams, and is blown into a round bottle with a capacity of 500 ml. When stretched, the size of the bottle mouth and the force ring about 4 mm below the stretched ring did not change. The portion stretched below about 4mm below the bottleneck has a diameter stretch ratio of 2.4 times and a height stretch ratio of 2.3 times.

OMpa, and the compressed air is in a flowing state. After cooling for 2 seconds, the temperature of the bottle will generally drop below 10 ° C. At this time, the mold can be opened and the formed bottle can be removed.
本方法连续生产 5天后, 模具仍保持清洁, 不出现粘模现象。 After 5 days of continuous production by this method, the mold is still kept clean and no mold sticking occurs.
将各工艺参数制得的瓶于灌装表中所列温度的石蜡油, 然后测定其体 积缩小情况。 从表 1 中可以看到, 115 °C下热灌装时瓶于的收缩率小于标准 使用要求 3 %的水准, 因此, 由本方法制得的聚酯瓶可适用于 115 °C下的热 灌装。
表 1 The bottles prepared by each process parameter were filled with paraffin oil at the temperature listed in the filling table, and then the volume reduction was measured. It can be seen from Table 1 that the shrinkage of the bottle during hot filling at 115 ° C is less than the standard requirement of 3%. Therefore, the polyester bottle produced by this method can be suitable for hot filling at 115 ° C. Installed. Table 1
