Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods of efficiently inco ⁇ orating UN absorbers into polyester composition and to polyester compositions made by said methods.
- Polyester is a polymeric resin widely used in a number of packaging and fiber based applications.
- Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (“PET”) or a modified PET is the polymer of choice for making beverage and food containers such as plastic bottles and jars used for carbonated beverages, water, juices, foods, detergents, cosmetics, and other products.
- PET poly(ethylene terephthalate)
- a diol such as ethylene glycol is reacted with a dicarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylic acid ester. The reaction is accelerated by the addition of a suitable reaction catalyst.
- the product of the polyester condensation reaction tends to be reversible and in order to increase the molecular weight of the polyesters, this reaction is often carried out in a multi-chamber polycondensation reaction system having several reaction chambers operating in series.
- the diol and the dicarboxylic acid component are introduced in the first reactor at a relatively high pressure. After polymerizing at an elevated temperature the resulting polymer is then transferred to the second reaction chamber which is operated at a lower pressure than the first chamber. The polymer continues to grow in this second chamber with volatile compounds being removed. This process is repeated successively for each reactor, each of which are operated at lower and lower pressures.
- the result of this step wise condensation is the formation of polyester with higher molecular weight and higher inherent viscosity.
- UV absorbers are a particularly important additive, both for imparting stability to the polyesters and to protect those products packaged in PET containers from degradation induced by exposure to UV light.
- U.S. Patent Number 4,617,374 discloses the use of certain UV- absorbing methine compounds that may be incorporated in a polyester or a polycarbonate during polycondensation. These compounds enhance ultraviolet or visible light absorption with a maximum absorbance within the range of from about 320 nm to about 380 nm. Functionally, these compounds contain an acid or ester group which condenses onto the polymer chain as a terminator.
- the UV absorbers of the '374 patent have been found to be useful in the preparation of polyesters such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) and copolymers of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(l,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate). It has been observed, however, that some UV absorbers are somewhat- /• ⁇ ,. volatile causing the yield of these UV absorbers in the formed polyester to be somewhat less than 100% (values of 80% to 85% are typical). Moreover, these compounds may plug the equipment by condensing in the process lines. The loss of UV absorber results in added costs for the polyester formation because of the down time needed to clean process lines and because of the relatively high cost of these compounds. Accordingly, there is a need for improved methods of inco ⁇ orating UV absorbers into polyester compositions made by the melt phase polycondensation method, and/or improved polyester compositions containing UV absorbers.
- a method comprises forming a reaction mixture substantially free of a titanium containing ester exchange catalyst compound and comprising combining a diol, a diacid component selected from the group consisting of dicarboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acid derivatives, and mixtures thereof, an antimony containing compound in an amount of less than 0.1% of the total weight of the reaction mixture, a phosphorus containing compound present in an amount of less than about 0.1% of the total weight of the reaction mixture, a metal containing compound selected from the group consisting of zinc containing compounds, manganese containing compounds, present in an amount from about 10 ppm to about 300 ppm, and a UV absorber with polyester reactive moieties.
- the antimony containing compound, the phosphorus containing compound, and the metal- containing compound comprise the catalyst system used to promote the condensation polymerization that occurs in the method of the invention.
- the reaction mixture is then polymerized in a polycondensation reaction system in the absence of the titanium ester exchange catalyst compound.
- the polycondensation reaction system is characterized by having a first reaction chamber, a last reaction chamber, and optionally one or more intermediate reaction chambers between the first reaction chamber and the last reaction chamber.
- the reaction system is operated in series such that the reaction mixture is progressively polymerized in the first reaction chamber, the one*or more intermediate reactions, and the last reaction chamber. Accordingly, as the reaction mixture proceeds through the series of reaction chambers, polymerization occurs and a polyester is formed; .
- a method of inco ⁇ orating a UV absorber in a polyester composition comprises.
- reaction mixture comprising combining: a diol, a diacid component selected from the group consisting of dicarboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acid derivatives, and mixtures thereof in a polycondensation reaction system comprising a series of reaction chambers designated as reaction chamber RC 1 having a first reaction chamber designated as reaction chamber RC 1 , a last reaction chamber designated as reaction chamber RC , and one or more intermediate reaction chambers b) successively polymerizing the reaction mixture in the multichamber polymerization system wherein the reaction system is operated in series such that a reaction product designated as product P 1 from reaction chamber RC 1 is transportable to reaction chamber RC 1+1 by a conduit designated as conduit C 1 connecting reaction chamber RC 1 to reaction chamber RC 1+1 ; and c) adding the UV absorber to reaction product P 1 as it is transported from reaction chamber RC 1 to reaction chamber RC 1+1 , wherein i and k are integers and k is the total number of reaction chambers.
- a titanium metal free polyester composition in another embodiment, comprises a diol residue, as diacid residue, a UN absorber residue, antimony atoms, phosphorus atoms, and metal atoms selected from the group consisting of zinc, manganese, and mixtures thereof.
- the antimony, phosphorus, and metal atoms represent the residue of the catalyst system used to promote the condensation polymerization that forms the polyester composition.
- an article made from the polyester is provided.
- the method of this embodiment comprises forming a reaction mixture substantially free of a titanium containing ester exchange catalyst compound and comprising a diol, a diacid component selected from the group consisting of dicarboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acid derivatives, and mixtures thereof, an antimony containing compound in an amount of less than 0.1% of the total weight of the reaction mixture, a phosphorus containing compound present in an amount of less than about 0.1% of the total weight of the reaction mixture, a metal containing compound selected from the group consisting of zinc containing compounds, manganese containing compounds, present in an amount from about 10 ppm to about 300 ppm, and a UV absorber.
- polyester compositions can be made from reaction mixtures substantially free of titanium containing ester exchange catalysts with high yields of UV absorbers. While the mechanism to explain this phenomena is not fully understood, it is believed that the presence of titanium containing ester exchange compounds have such high conversion activity that the catalyst may also contribute to reactions which degrade some UN absorbers, preventing the UN absorbers from absorbing, dissolving, or otherwise tying into the polyester polymer, or both.
- the process is conducted using compounds containing 2 ppm or less of titanium metal, and more preferably 0.0 ppm of titanium metal containing compounds are used in the process of the invention.
- the reaction mixture is then polymerized in a multi-chamber polymerization system.
- the polycondensation reaction system is characterized by having a first reaction chamber, a last reaction chamber, and one or more intermediate reaction chambers between the first reaction chamber and the last reaction chambers. The reaction system is operated in series such that the reaction mixture is progressively polymerized in the first reaction chamber, the one or more intermediate reactions, and the last reaction chamber.
- the UV absorber may be added at any point in the melt phase.
- the polyester removed from the last reaction chamber has an inherent viscosity from about 0.2 to about 0.75 dL/g.
