Definitions
- the present invention relates to formulations for cellular, foamed-polymer products based on polyvinyl chloride, to improved cellular, foamed-polymer products based on polyvinyl chloride and to a process for producing said improved cellular foamed-polymer products .
- Examples of the state of the art formulations for cellular, foamed-polymer products based on PVC consist of a mixture of polyvinyl chloride, of one or more isocyanates, such as toluene-diisocyanate and/or polymethylene-polyphenyl-isocyanate, one or more anhydrides, such as maleic anhydride and/or phthalic anhydride, one or more vinylidene compounds, such as styrene and acrylonitrile, a foaming agent, one or more heat stabilizer compounds, such as tribasic lead sulfate, dibasic lead phosphite, dibasic lead phthalate.
- isocyanates such as toluene-diisocyanate and/or polymethylene-polyphenyl-isocyanate
- anhydrides such as maleic anhydride and/or phthalic anhydride
- vinylidene compounds such as styrene and acrylonitrile
- heat stabilizer compounds are disclosed in EP0458404 and EP0513930. Said products are obtained through many processes as for example through the process disclosed in IT 1,224,390.
- Another example of formulation for a starting mixture for preparing cross-linked PVC rigid-foam body is disclosed in WO 2005/092958, concerning however a discontinuous process and a formulation requiring the presence of epoxidized compounds in an amount of from 3 to 15 % as stabilizers and plasticizers .
- the products obtainable starting from said formulations are characterised by certain ranges of mechanical properties and the foamed products require long times of gelation under pressure, long expansion time and long curing time .
- the cellular foamed-polymer products are produced through mixing of powders (PVC, anhydride, chemical blowing agents, PVC stabilizers and in some cases flame retardants and pigments) with liquids (isocyanates and sometimes plasticizers) into a fairly viscous mixture.
- powders PVC, anhydride, chemical blowing agents, PVC stabilizers and in some cases flame retardants and pigments
- liquids isocyanates and sometimes plasticizers
- Said mixture of thick consistency, after being compounded in a dissolver, is cast into a mould, and the temperature is then increased under pressure, until a temperature of from 15O 0 C to 200 0 C is reached, in order to cause the gelation of polyvinyl chloride to take place and the decomposition of the blowing agent.
- the molding cause a phase inversion of the viscous mixture that forms the polymer gel .
- the chemical blowing agents decompose to form gaseous nitrogen that is either dissolved into the gel to form tiny bubbles .
- the semi-foamed article obtained i.e., the "embryo" will complete its foaming by being heated in the presence of hot water or steam, where it expands to the desired density.
- the hot water or steam expansion is the result of the heated gel allowing growth from the dissolved nitrogen and additional gas formed through reaction with the isocyanate content of the gel with water that is diffusing into the gel.
- the chemical reactions occur during moulding, where the chemical blowing agents decompose with a gas emission of nitrogen and during expansion where a complex series of water, isocyanate and anhydride reactions occur.
- the semi-foamed products are put in hot water or steam, water diffuses into the material. In the material several possible reactions can happen. The most likely reaction is the following reaction (1) where isocyanates react with water to form amine .
- the general purpose of the present invention is that of providing a formulation for foamed-polymer products based on polyvinyl chloride, overcoming the state of the art drawbacks, giving a foamed-polymer product based on polyvinyl chloride, having definitely increased mechanical properties with respect to the existing products, the process of production presenting at the same time very short cycle pressure, low expansion and curing times.

- formulations according to the present invention allow to obtain foamed product with a very high "compatibility" with all prepregs based on polyesters, on polyvinylesters, on epoxy compounds, which are used in the industry all over the world. Further the process of production presents also a strong reduction of costs.

- Fracture toughness peel tests with polyester resin, vinyl ester resin or prepreg give the following results: product C has a peel strength of about 1000 J/m 2 , product D has a peel strength of about 1600 J/m 2 , while products, having similar densities, according to the state of the art present peel strength values of about 650-700 J/m 2 .
