Definitions

  • THIS invention relates to purge compositions for use in plastic extrusion and to a method of purging a plastic extruder or injection moulder.
  • plastics exist today with differing properties. These plastics can be further tailored to meet specific requirements by alloying or addition of additives. These materials are called thermoplastics, on account of the fact that they can be moulded or shaped by heating, generally in an extruder or moulder.
  • plastic materials are fed in powder or granular form to an extruder, where they are typically heated to between 150 and 300 °C in order to soften or melt the plastic.
  • the plastic can then be moulded or formed into the desired article.
  • the extruder is cooled and cleaned. Depending on the circumstances this can take place daily, weekly or at longer intervals. It is normal practice to purge the extruder of any heat sensitive materials before cleaning.
  • Purge compounds used for this purpose, contain a plastic and other additives (abrasives, detergents) designed to remove any residual materials which may have built up on the walls of the extruder, along with heat stabilizers to prevent or minimise burning of the purge composition itself.
  • PVC polyvinyl urethane
  • PVC polyvinyl urethane
  • a purge composition based on a different plastic which is less heat sensitive. This resulted in further problems such as extended purging times, inefficient purging, plateing out etc., due to the incompatibility of the other plastic with PVC.
  • PVC has been stabilised by the addition of various metallic compositions based on for example, tin, lead, barium, zinc etc. These compositions are designed to scavenge the evolved hydrogen chloride. Depending on the addition level they will protect the PVC for a period, but ultimately fail, leading to decomposition of the PVC in the extruder in the normal manner. Thus, PVC compositions stabilised with metallic compositions are not suitable for purging purposes.
  • a polymer purge composition typically based on PVC, wherein the purge composition is stabilized with an organic based stabilizer (OBS).
  • OBS organic based stabilizer
  • the OBS may include a compound of the Formula 1 :
  • Y is O or S, preferably O;
  • R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are monovalent substituents selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, acyl, amino, aminoalkyl, aminoaryl, and hydrazino.
  • the organic based stabiliser is preferably a combination of A) at least one compound of Formula I:
  • R 1 and R 2 are each independently of the other C 1 -C 12 alkyl, C 3 -C 6 alkenyl, C 5 -C 8 cycloalkyl that is unsubstituted or substituted by from 1 to 3 C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, C 5 -C 8 cycloalkyl or by hydroxy groups or by chlorine atoms, or C 7 -C 9 phenylalkyl that is unsubstituted or substituted at the phenyl ring from 1 to 3 C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, C 5 -C 8 cycloalkyl or by hydroxy groups or chlorine atoms, and R ⁇ and R* 2 may additionally be hydrogen and C 1 -C 12 alkyl, and Y is S or O;

  • sterically hindered amines tetraa lky
  • the purge composition preferably includes an abrasive filler/s and detergent/s or lubricant/s.
  • the purge composition contains 5 to 15%, preferably 6 to 10% by mass of the OBS.

  • the concentrate composition contains 50 to 80% by mass abrasive filler, 15 to 40%, typically 15 to 35%, by mass OBS and 2 to 10 % by mass detergent/lubricant.
  • a method of purging an extruder in a polymer typically a PVC, extrusion process, wherein a polymer purge composition that is stabilized with OBS is used.
  • a polymer purge composition containing an OBS is fed into the extruder and is expelled from the die.
  • the die may then removed and allowed to cool for storage until next required.
  • the heaters on the barrel may be switched off; and the extruder allowed to cool with the polymer purge composition remaining in the barrel.
  • extrusion may continue until such time as the extruder temperature is low enough that the polymer purge composition exits the end of the barrel as a powder, thus facilitating easier removal and cleaning.
