Definitions
- the present invention is generally directed to methods for improving the barrier of a substrate coated with a barrier coating comprising contacting the coated substrate with an acid.
- Plastics have found increasing use as replacements for glass and metal containers in packaging. Advantages of plastic packaging over glass packaging include lighter weight, decreased breakage and potentially lower costs. An advantage of plastic packaging over metal packaging is that plastic can more easily be designed as re-closable. Shortcomings in the gas barrier properties of common plastic packaging materials (e.g., polyesters, polyolefins and polycarbonates) can be a problem when such materials are used to package oxygen-sensitive items and/or carbonated beverages. For example, some oxygen- sensitive products may become discolored and/or spoiled upon even minute exposures to oxygen, and carbonated beverages can lose their carbonation or become "flat” if carbon dioxide is allowed to egress.
- common plastic packaging materials e.g., polyesters, polyolefins and polycarbonates
- oxygen permeability constant quantifies the amount of oxygen that can pass through a film or coating under a specific set of circumstances and is generally expressed in units of cm 3 -mil/100 inches 2 /atmosphere/day. This is a standard unit of permeation measured as cubic centimeters of oxygen permeating through 1 mil (25.4 micron) thickness of a sample, 100 square inches (645 square centimeters) in an area, over a 24-hour period, under a partial pressure differential of one atmosphere at specific temperature and relative humidity (R. H.) conditions.
- PET poly(ethylene terephthalate)
- P(O 2 ) ethylene terephthalate
- Other packaging materials such as polyesters, polyolefins, polycarbonates and the like are similarly gas permeable.
- the food and beverage packaging industry has sought ways to improve the P(O 2 ) value of such packaging materials.
- the present invention is directed to methods for improving the barrier of a substrate having a barrier coating on at least a portion of the substrate, comprising contacting the barrier coated substrate with an acid.
- the barrier coating does not contain inorganic oxide or silica. Substrates treated according to these methods are also within the scope of the present invention.
- the present invention is directed to methods for improving the barrier of a substrate having a barrier coating on at least a portion of the substrate comprising contacting the barrier coated substrate with an acid, wherein the barrier coating does not contain an inorganic oxide or silica.
- Any organic or inorganic acid can be used according to the present invention.
- the acid is a monoacid; examples include but are not limited to lactic acid, nitric acid and acetic acid.
- a multi-acid is used. "Multi-acid" refers to acids having two or more acid functional groups.
- Examples include but are not limited to citric acid, phosphoric acid, tartaric acid, itaconic acid, succinic acid, EDTA (ethylenediamine tetracetic acid), ascorbic acid, butanetetracarboxylic acid, tetrahydrofuran tetracarboxylic acid, cyclopentane tetracarboxylic acid, tetracarboxylic acid, and itaconic, citraconic, mesaconic, maleic, fumaric, acrylic, methacrylic, sorbic vinyl phosphonic, vinyl sulfonic and cinnamic acids.
- the acid is typically applied to the coated substrate from a water-based or solvent-based solution.
- the concentration of acid in the solution can be 0.1 weight percent or higher, such as 0.1 weight percent to 25 weight percent, 0.5 to 5 weight percent, or 1.0 weight percent, with weight percent based on the total weight of the solution.
- a suitable solution can be prepared, for example, by dissolving acid in water. Alternatively, some or all of the water can be replaced with one or more organic solvents. Suitable solvents include lower alcohols, ketones, glycol ethers and the like.
- a water-based solution will be understood as one having greater than 50 percent water as the solvent and a solvent-based solution as one having less than 50 percent water as the solvent.
- the acid solution used in the present methods specifically excludes silane; in other nonlimiting embodiments, the acid in the acid solution is from a nonpolymeric acid.
- barrier coating refers to any coating having a low permeability to gases such as oxygen and/or carbon dioxide; that is, the coating exhibits resistance to the passage of oxygen, carbon dioxide and/or other gases through the material. Any resistance to the permeation of any gas is sufficient to qualify the coating as a "barrier coating" according to the present invention; certain applications may need a relatively high resistance to either carbon dioxide or oxygen, but not both, and certain applications may need only a relatively low resistance to carbon dioxide and/or oxygen. [0009] Any suitable barrier coating can be used according to the present invention.
- suitable barrier coatings may be those intended primarily as oxygen barriers exhibiting an oxygen permeability of less than about 3.0, such as less than about 1.0, or less than about 0.5 cm 3 -mil/100 inches 2 /atmosphere/day.
- Barrier coatings according to the present invention that function primarily as carbon dioxide barriers can exhibit a carbon dioxide permeability of less than about 15.0, such as less than about 5.0, or less than 2.0 cm 3 -mil/100 inches 2 /atmosphere/day.
- Suitable barrier coatings can be organic or inorganic; specifically excluded are barrier coatings that contain inorganic oxide or silica. Particularly suitable organic coatings include epoxy amine coatings, such as those described in U.S. Patent Nos.
- Epoxy amine barrier coatings are commercially available from PPG Industries, Inc. in their BAIROCADE line of products.
- the barrier coating has amine functionality or residual amine functionality and/or epoxy functionality or residual epoxy functionality.
- Epoxy functionality and “residual epoxy functionality” refer to an epoxy group having a reactive oxygen or the compound formed upon the reaction between such a group and another functional group, respectively.
- “Amine functionality” and “residual amine functionality” refer to an amine nitrogen with at least one pair of free electrons, including but not limited to those contained in primary, secondary, or tertiary amines.
- the barrier coating has basic functionality or residual functionality other than amine functionality or residual amine functionality.
- “Basic functionality” and “residual basic functionality” refer to basic groups or atoms having at least one pair of free electrons.
- other coatings whose barrier can be improved according to the methods of the present invention can be used.
- the barrier coating can be applied to the substrate in any manner known in the art, such as dipping, spraying, rolling, brushing, and the like.
- the barrier coating will typically be at least partially cured prior to treatment according to the present methods. Cure can be effected by an appropriate manner, such as at ambient or elevated temperatures.
- the barrier coating can have any dry film thickness desired by the user, which will typically be 0.1 to 5.0 mils, such as 0.1 to 1.0 mils.
- the substrate coated with a barrier coating can then be treated according to the present methods by contacting the barrier coated substrate with an acid, such as any of the acid solutions described above.
- an acid such as any of the acid solutions described above.
- the contact time with the acid is less than the time at which the coating begins to swell and/or wrinkle. Typically, this time will be about 20 seconds or less, such as 15 seconds or less.
- Factors considered in determining contact time include the temperature of the acid, the type of acid and the concentration of the acid. It is surprising that the acid treatment of the present invention results in improved barrier, as it is believed that the acid may actually attack the existing barrier coating, although the inventors do not wish to be bound by this.
- the acid is at or near room temperature, such as
- the contact between the barrier coated substrate and the acid can be by any conventional means, such as by spraying, dipping, rolling, brushing, and the like. Typically, a dip in an acid solution will be suitable.
- the substrate is then dried, such as by air drying or forced air dry.
- the substrate can be rinsed slightly, such as with deionized water.
- the acid can further comprise a colorant.
- a colorant As used herein, the term
- colorant refers to a dye, tint or any other substance that can impart color to the acid layer.
- the acid layer can comprise one or more FDA-approved colorants that are water and/or acidified and/or soluble, which changes the color of the barrier coating, uniformly or nonuniformly.
- any substrate susceptible to gas permeation can be treated according to the present method.
- the term "treated” and like terms refers to contacting the barrier coated substrate with an acid, as described above.
- Particularly suitable substrates include those that have gas permeability, such as polymers including but not limited to polyesters, polyolefins, polyamides, celluloses, polystyrenes, polyacrylics, polycarbonates, PET, and poly(ethylenenaphthalate) ("PEN”) or any combinations thereof.
- the substrates will typically have a P( ⁇ 2) value or transmission rate lower than the P(U 2 ) value or transmission rate of the substrates without the treatment.
- the P( ⁇ 2) can be lowered by 50 percent, such as by 75 percent or even by 90 percent or greater.
- the transmission rate of a BAIROCADE coated PET bottle is typically
- a plastic bottle such as a PET bottle, could be coated with an epoxy- amine barrier coating, dipped in a room temperature acid solution for one minute, and an acid solution heated to 185 0 F for 15 seconds.
- the transmission of the room temperature acid treated bottles would be at least 10 percent better (that is, the transmission would be at least 10 percent lower) as compared to the bottle without an acid treatment, and the transmission of the heated acid treated bottles would be at least- 70 percent better (that is, the transmission would be least 70 percent lower) as compared to the bottle without an acid treatment.
