Technisches GebietTechnical area
Fenster und Türen werden in großem Umfang aus extrudierten Kunststoffprofilen hergestellt, insbesondere aus Hart-PVC (PVC- U) . Hierzu werden für die Blendrahmen und Flügel auf Gehrung geschnittene Profilabschnitte im Gehrungsbereich miteinander verschweißt.Windows and doors are made to a large extent of extruded plastic profiles, in particular of rigid PVC (PVC-U). For this purpose, profile sections cut in the miter area are welded together for the frame and wing mitred sections.
Oberflächenbeschichtungen mit Selbstreinigungs- oder "Easy-to- clean"-Effekt sind insbesondere für Verglasungen bekannt (z. B. EP 0 850 203 Bl) . Sie beruhen in der Regel auf dem Einsatz nanoskaliger Tiθ2~Partikel mit photokatalytischen und hydrophi- lierenden Eigenschaften. In neuerer Zeit werden aber auch Anstrengungen unternommen, das Rahmenmaterial selbstreinigend auszurüsten .Surface coatings with a self-cleaning or "easy-to-clean" effect are known in particular for glazing (eg EP 0 850 203 B1). As a rule, they are based on the use of nanoscale TiO 2 particles with photocatalytic and hydrophilic properties. In recent years, however, efforts are being made to equip the frame material self-cleaning.
Die photokatalytischen Eigenschaften von TiC^-Partikeln sind in der Literatur seit Langem bekannt und intensiv untersucht worden. Der photokatalytische Effekt beruht auf einer Halbleitereigenschaft des TiC>2, wobei durch ein Lichtquant ein Loch-Elektron-Paar gebildet wird, das eine relativ lange Rekombinationszeit aufweist. Durch Diffusion von Löchern und Elektronen an die Oberfläche werden Prozesse in Gang gesetzt, die unmittelbar oder mittelbar über Wasser mit anschließender Wasserstoffperoxidbildung eine stark oxidative Wirkung entwickeln. Dabei ist das Oxidationspotenzial mit über 3 eV so hoch, dass praktisch alle organischen Substanzen, die in Berührung mit solchen Tiθ2~Partikeln kommen, oxidiert werden. Für photokatalytische Anwendungen wird Tiθ2 vorwiegend in der
Anatas-Konfiguration und in Primärpartikel-Größen im nano- skaligen Bereich, d. h. mit Primärpartikel-Größen unter 100 nm eingesetzt .The photocatalytic properties of TiC ^ particles have long been known and studied extensively in the literature. The photocatalytic effect is based on a semiconductor property of the TiC> 2, wherein a hole-electron pair is formed by a quantum of light, which has a relatively long recombination time. By diffusion of holes and electrons to the surface processes are set in motion, which develop directly or indirectly via water with subsequent hydrogen peroxide formation a strong oxidative effect. The oxidation potential of more than 3 eV is so high that practically all organic substances that come into contact with such TiO 2 particles are oxidized. For photocatalytic applications, TiO 2 is predominantly used in the Anatase configuration and primary particle sizes in the nanoscale range, ie with primary particle sizes below 100 nm used.
Es hat sich allerdings gezeigt, dass es schwierig ist, auf Substraten oder Oberflächenschichten, die selbst oxidierbar sind, wie z. B. bei Substraten oder Schichten aus organischen Polymeren, eine Oxidation durch eine darauf aufgebrachte photokatalytische Schicht und damit die Schädigung des Substrates oder der Schicht zu verhindern.However, it has been found that it is difficult to on substrates or surface layers that are themselves oxidizable, such. As in substrates or layers of organic polymers, oxidation by a photocatalytic layer applied thereto and thus to prevent damage to the substrate or the layer.
Tiθ2 wird in großem Umfang zur Pigmentierung von PVC-U eingesetzt. Die Tiθ2-Pigmente weisen dabei nahezu ausschließlich die Rutil-Kristallitform des Tiθ2 auf. Rutil weist zwar gegenüber der Anatas-Konfiguration eine geringere photokatalytische Wirksamkeit auf, dennoch müssen TiC^-Pigmente für PVC zum einen bezüglich ihres Teilchendurchmessers optimiert werden - üblicherweise liegt der mittlere Durchmesser bei ca. 0,3 bis 0,4 μm -, zum anderen werden TiC^-Pigmente üblicherweise durch eine dünne Umhüllung aus AI2O3- und Siθ2~Verbindungen oder anderen Metalloxiden inertisiert, um einen unerwünschten Abbau des PVC-Polymers durch photokatalytische Effekte zu vermeiden.TiO 2 is widely used for the pigmentation of PVC-U. The TiO 2 pigments have almost exclusively the rutile crystallite form of the TiO 2. Although rutile has a lower photocatalytic activity compared to the anatase configuration, TiCi pigments for PVC must firstly be optimized with regard to their particle diameter-usually the average diameter is about 0.3 to 0.4 μm-and secondly For example, TiCi pigments are usually rendered inert by a thin coating of Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 compounds or other metal oxides in order to avoid undesirable degradation of the PVC polymer by photocatalytic effects.

Aus der DE 102 248 95 Al ist ein selbstreinigender Kunststoffkörper bekannt, mit einem Kunststoff-Substrat, das zunächst eine Siloxanbeschichtung und auf dieser eine anorganisch ge- bundene photokatalytisch aktive Schicht mit Tiθ2~Partikeln aufweist. Das Kunststoff-Substrat kann auch aus PMMA (PoIy- methylmethacrylat) bestehen.DE 102 248 95 A1 discloses a self-cleaning plastic body with a plastic substrate which initially has a siloxane coating and an inorganic bonded photocatalytically active layer with TiO 2 particles. The plastic substrate can also consist of PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate).
Die auf diese Weise aufgebrachten anorganischen Beschichtungen weisen zwar eine relativ hohe Kratzfestigkeit auf, jedoch ist zum einen das Aufbringen der beiden anorganischen Schichten aufwendig, zum anderen ist deren Haltbarkeit begrenzt.Although the inorganic coatings applied in this way have a relatively high scratch resistance, on the one hand the application of the two inorganic layers is complicated, on the other hand their durability is limited.
Die 103 04 953 Al betrifft kratzfeste und selbstreinigende Kunststoffkörper, die dadurch erhältlich sind, dass man auf ein
KunststoffSubstrat eine Siloxan-Beschichtung aufbringt und aushärtet, den polaren Anteil der Oberflächenenergie der ausgehärteten Siloxan-Beschichtung auf einen Wert von mindestens 10 mN/m erhöht und anschließend eine photokatalytische aktive TiC^-Partikel enthaltende Beschichtung aufbringt und aushärtet .The 103 04 953 Al concerns scratch-resistant and self-cleaning plastic body, which are obtainable by one on one Plastic substrate applied and cured a siloxane coating, the polar portion of the surface energy of the cured siloxane coating to a value of at least 10 mN / m increases and then applying a photocatalytic active TiC ^ particle-containing coating and cured.
Aus der WO 2005/007286 Al und der EP 1 498 176 Al ist ein gattungsgemäßes, beispielsweise auch für Fensterprofile einsetzbares PVC-Substrat bekannt mit einer photokatalytisch aktiven Beschichtung aus mindestens zwei nasschemisch hergestellten anorganischen Schichten mit mindestens einer ersten, auf das Substrat aufgebrachten, aus einem anorganischen Polymer bestehenden Unterschicht und mindestens einer zweiten, aus Tiθ2-Partikeln bestehenden zweiten Oberschicht, wobei die Unterschicht weniger als 0,5 Gew.-% Tiθ2~Partikel enthält, porenfrei ist und mindestens 5 Gew.-% Zrθ2 aufweist. Zwischen der PVC-Schicht und den anorganischen Polymer-Schichten kann auch eine Schicht aus PMMA angeordnet sein.WO 2005/007286 A1 and EP 1 498 176 A1 disclose a generic PVC substrate which can also be used, for example, for window profiles with a photocatalytically active coating consisting of at least two wet-chemically produced inorganic layers with at least one first substrate applied to the substrate an underlayer comprising inorganic polymer and at least one second second top layer consisting of TiO 2 particles, wherein the underlayer contains less than 0.5% by weight of TiO 2 particles, is free of pores and has at least 5% by weight of ZrO 2. A layer of PMMA may also be arranged between the PVC layer and the inorganic polymer layers.
Die photokatalytisch aktive Beschichtung dieser PVC-Substrate mit Selbstreinigungs- oder "Easy-to-clean"-Effekt weist allerdings eine im Vergleich zu entsprechend beschichteten Verglasungen geringere Wirksamkeit und eine nur begrenzte Haltbarkeit auf. Zudem ist das Aufbringen der Beschichtung sehr aufwendig. Ein zusätzliches, bislang ungelöstes Problem besteht bei dem Verschweißen der Fensterprofile im Gehrungsbereich, da die anorganische Beschichtung beim Verschweißen im Eckbereich zerstört wird. Als Folge hiervon kann sich besonders im Eckbereich der Fensterrahmen Schmutz ansammeln.The photocatalytically active coating of these PVC substrates with a self-cleaning or "easy-to-clean" effect, however, has a lower efficiency and only a limited shelf life compared with correspondingly coated glazings. In addition, the application of the coating is very expensive. An additional, as yet unsolved problem exists in the welding of the window profiles in the miter area, since the inorganic coating is destroyed during welding in the corner. As a result, dirt can accumulate especially in the corner of the window frame.
Aufgabe Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Kunststoffprofil auf der Basis von PVC-U mit einer photokatalytisch wirksamen Oberfläche mit Selbstreinigungs- oder "Easy-to-clean"-Effekt zu versehen, die eine hohe Wirksamkeit bei guter Langzeitstabilität aufweist.
Darstellung der ErfindungIt is an object of the present invention to provide a plastic profile based on PVC-U with a photocatalytically active surface with a self-cleaning or "easy-to-clean" effect, which has high efficacy with good long-term stability. Presentation of the invention
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch ein Kunststoffprofil mit einem extrudierten Grundkörper auf der Basis von PVC-U, wobei der extrudierte Grundkörper eine mit dem Grundkörper direkt oder indirekt verbundene Deckschicht auf der Basis eines organischen Polymers aufweist, in dem ein photokatalytisch wirksames Metalloxid homogen verteilt vorliegt. Bei dem organischen Polymer der Deckschicht handelt es sich bevorzugt um einen thermoplastischen Kunststoff.The invention solves this problem by a plastic profile with an extruded base body based on PVC-U, wherein the extruded base body has a directly or indirectly connected to the base layer cover layer based on an organic polymer in which a photocatalytically active metal oxide is present homogeneously distributed , The organic polymer of the cover layer is preferably a thermoplastic.
Die vorliegende Erfindung wendet sich damit von dem bisher grundsätzlich eingeschlagenen Weg ab, photokatalytisch wirksames Tiθ2 in anorganische, sehr dünne Beschichtungen einzusetzen und diese mit einer zusätzlichen anorganischen Zwischenschicht von dem organischen Polymer des Substrates zu trennen. Die Erfindung nimmt dabei billigend in Kauf, dass das organische Polymer der Deckschicht an der Oberfläche langsam abgebaut wird.The present invention thus turns away from the hitherto fundamentally adopted method of using photocatalytically active TiO 2 in inorganic, very thin coatings and separating them with an additional inorganic intermediate layer from the organic polymer of the substrate. The invention takes into account the fact that the organic polymer of the top layer is slowly degraded at the surface.
Die Dicke der Deckschicht auf der Basis des organischen Polymers beträgt bevorzugt 0,1 bis 3 mm, insbesondere 0,15 bis 0,6 mm. Sie ist damit im Vergleich zu bisher eingesetzten anorganischen Beschichtungen relativ dick, so dass die Haltbarkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Beschichtungen ausreichend für den praktischen Einsatz auch bei hoher UV-Bestrahlung und üblichen Witterungseinflüssen ist.The thickness of the cover layer based on the organic polymer is preferably 0.1 to 3 mm, in particular 0.15 to 0.6 mm. It is thus relatively thick in comparison to heretofore used inorganic coatings, so that the durability of the coatings according to the invention is sufficient for practical use even under high UV irradiation and usual atmospheric influences.
Das photokatalytisch wirksame Metalloxid kann nicht direkt in PVC eingearbeitet werden, da dieses dabei sofort abgebaut und dunkel verfärbt wird. Es wird für das organische Polymer der Deckschicht bevorzugt ein halogenfreies Polymer eingesetzt.The photocatalytically active metal oxide can not be incorporated directly into PVC, since this is immediately degraded and darkened. It is preferred for the organic polymer of the cover layer, a halogen-free polymer used.
Es hat sich dabei überraschend herausgestellt, dass sich ins- besondere PMMA für das homogene Einarbeiten von photokatalytisch wirksamen TiC^-Nanopartikeln hervorragend eignet. Es wird daher bevorzugt, dass das organische Polymer der Deckschicht wenigstens überwiegend aus PMMA besteht. PMMA (PoIy- methylmethacrylat) ist ein amorphes (nichtkristallines) PoIy- mer, hergestellt durch Polymerisation von Methacrylsäuremethyl-
ester. Zur Erzielung spezieller Eigenschaften wie höherer Härte, Schlagzähigkeit etc. können dem Methylmethacrylat vor der Polymerisation andere Acrylate, z. B. Acrylsäurebutylester, zugemischt werden, wobei dann die entsprechenden Copolymere des Methylmethacrylats entstehen. Soweit in dieser Anmeldung der Begriff PMMA verwendet wird, umfasst dieser neben Polymethyl- methacrylat auch die entsprechenden Copolymere des Methylmethacrylats bzw. Mischungen von Polymethylmethacrylat mit diesen Copolymeren.It has surprisingly been found that, in particular, PMMA is outstandingly suitable for the homogeneous incorporation of photocatalytically active TiC.sub.2 nanoparticles. It is therefore preferred that the organic polymer of the cover layer consists at least predominantly of PMMA. PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is an amorphous (noncrystalline) polymer prepared by polymerization of methyl methacrylate. ester. To achieve special properties such as higher hardness, impact resistance, etc., the methyl methacrylate before the polymerization other acrylates, eg. For example, butyl acrylate, are added, in which case the corresponding copolymers of methyl methacrylate arise. Insofar as the term PMMA is used in this application, this includes in addition to polymethyl methacrylate also the corresponding copolymers of methyl methacrylate or mixtures of polymethyl methacrylate with these copolymers.
Als photokatalytisch wirksame Metalloxide eignen sich die nach dem Stand der Technik bekannten Metalloxide, insbesondere Tiθ2 in der Anatas-Konfiguration . Die Primärteilchen dieser Tiθ2 Tiθ2~Nanopartikel besitzen dabei insbesondere mittlere Abmessungen < 50 nm, können aber auch als Agglomerate solcher kleinen Primärteilchen eingesetzt werden. Grundsätzlich sind alle photokatalytisch wirksamen Metalloxide bzw. deren Mischungen einsetzbar. Die bevorzugten TiC^-Nanopartikel sind als Handelsprodukte beispielsweise unter der Bezeichnung Kronos uvlp 7500 und vlp 7000 der Kronos International, Inc. erhält- lieh. Die Type vlp 7000 ist dabei auch bei Bestrahlung mit sichtbarem Licht photokatalytisch wirksam.Suitable photocatalytically active metal oxides are the metal oxides known from the prior art, in particular TiO 2 in the anatase configuration. The primary particles of these TiO 2 TiO 2 nanoparticles in particular have average dimensions <50 nm, but can also be used as agglomerates of such small primary particles. In principle, all photocatalytically active metal oxides or mixtures thereof can be used. The preferred TiC 2 nanoparticles are available commercially as Kronos uvlp 7500 and vlp 7000 from Kronos International, Inc., for example. The vlp 7000 type is photocatalytically active even when exposed to visible light.
Es hat sich bei Versuchen herausgestellt, dass die jeweilige Oberfläche der PMMA-Deckschicht der erfindungsgemäßen Kunststoffprofile langsam abgebaut wird, während in tieferen Schichten der PMMA-Deckschicht ein Abbau nicht messbar ist. Der Abbau an der Oberfläche erfolgt dabei umso schneller, je höher die Konzentration an photokatalytisch wirksamem Metalloxid in der PMMA-Deckschicht ist. Es werden daher möglichst geringe, aber noch ausreichend wirksame Mengen an photokatalytisch wirksamem Metalloxid in der PMMA-Deckschicht eingesetzt.It has been found in tests that the respective surface of the PMMA cover layer of the plastic profiles according to the invention is slowly degraded, while in deeper layers of the PMMA cover layer degradation is not measurable. The degradation at the surface takes place the faster, the higher the concentration of photocatalytically active metal oxide in the PMMA cover layer. Therefore, as small as possible but still sufficiently effective amounts of photocatalytically active metal oxide are used in the PMMA cover layer.
Die photokatalytisch wirksamen Metalloxide werden bevorzugt in Mengen von 0,05 bis 10 Gew.-%, insbesondere 0,1 bis 5 Gew.-%, besonders bevorzugt bis Gew.-% 1,5 jeweils bezogen auf den Polymeranteil der Deckschicht, eingesetzt. Die coextrudierte PMMA-Deckschicht weist bevorzugt eine mittlere Dicke von 0,1
bis 3 mm, insbesondere 0,15 bis 0,6 mm auf, in der das photokatalytisch wirksame Metalloxid homogen verteilt vorliegt.The photocatalytically active metal oxides are preferably used in amounts of from 0.05 to 10% by weight, in particular from 0.1 to 5% by weight, particularly preferably up to 1.5% by weight, based in each case on the polymer content of the top layer. The coextruded PMMA cover layer preferably has an average thickness of 0.1 to 3 mm, in particular 0.15 to 0.6 mm, in which the photocatalytically active metal oxide is homogeneously distributed.
Da bei steigender Konzentration an photokatalytisch wirksamem Metalloxid in der PMMA-Deckschicht der oberflächliche Abbau der PMMA-Schicht beschleunigt wird, sollte bei höheren Konzentrationen an photokatalytisch wirksamem Metalloxid in der Deckschicht die Dicke dieser Deckschicht eher höher gewählt werden, während bei geringeren Konzentrationen an photokatalytisch wirksamem Metalloxid in der Deckschicht die Dicke dieser Deckschicht dünner gewählt werden kann. Bevorzugt ist das Verhältnis aus der Konzentration an photokatalytisch wirksamem Metalloxid in der Deckschicht zur Dicke dieser Deckschicht kleiner 4 %/mm, bevorzugt ≤ 2 %/mm, besonders bevorzugt ≤ 1 %/mm.Since the surface degradation of the PMMA layer is accelerated with increasing concentration of photocatalytically active metal oxide in the PMMA cover layer, the thickness of this cover layer should be rather higher at higher concentrations of photocatalytically active metal oxide in the cover layer, while at lower concentrations of photocatalytically active Metal oxide in the cover layer, the thickness of this cover layer can be selected thinner. The ratio of the concentration of photocatalytically active metal oxide in the cover layer to the thickness of this cover layer is preferably less than 4% / mm, preferably ≦ 2% / mm, particularly preferably ≦ 1% / mm.
Die erfindungsgemäße Deckschicht kann grundsätzlich - soweit keine Pigmente eingesetzt werden - transparent oder transluzent sein, da die eingesetzten Nanopartikel aufgrund ihrer kleinen Abmessungen das einfallende sichtbare Licht wenig oder gar nicht brechen oder reflektieren. Bevorzugt wird die erfindungs- gemäße Deckschicht jedoch mit zusätzlichen Farb-Pigmenten und/oder UV-Absorbern versehen. Bevorzugt enthält die Deckschicht 1 bis 6 Gew.-% an Farb-Pigmenten, wobei anorganische Farb-Pigmente bevorzugt werden, da organische Farb-Pigmente ggf. von den photokatalytisch wirksamen Metalloxiden abgebaut werden.The cover layer according to the invention can in principle - if no pigments are used - be transparent or translucent, since the nanoparticles used due to their small dimensions, the incident visible light little or no break or reflect. However, the cover layer according to the invention is preferably provided with additional color pigments and / or UV absorbers. Preferably, the topcoat contains 1 to 6 wt .-% of color pigments, with inorganic color pigments are preferred because organic color pigments are degraded, if necessary, of the photocatalytically active metal oxides.
Besonders bevorzugt enthält die organische Deckschicht als nicht photokatalytisch wirksamen UV-Absorber bzw. weißes Pigment Tiθ2 als Rutil in inertisierter Form mit einer mittleren Primärteilchengröße > 0,1 μm, insbesondere mit einer mittleren Primärteilchengröße von 0,2 bis 0,4 μm. Als Tiθ2~Pigmente können beispielsweise die Handelsprodukte Kro- nos 2220 und Kronos 2222 der Kronos International, Inc. eingesetzt werden.The organic top layer particularly preferably contains TiO 2 as non-photocatalytically active UV absorber or white pigment as rutile in an inertized form having an average primary particle size> 0.1 μm, in particular with an average primary particle size of 0.2 to 0.4 μm. Examples of suitable TiO 2 pigments are the commercial products Kroonos 2220 and Kronos 2222 from Kronos International, Inc.
Der bevorzugte Einsatz von Pigmenten bzw. UV-Absorbern in der polymeren Deckschicht verhindert, dass größere Mengen an UV-
Strahlung in tiefere Schichten der Deckschicht eindringen, dort die photokatalytisch wirksamen Metalloxide anregen und dadurch einen Abbau des Polymers beschleunigen.The preferred use of pigments or UV absorbers in the polymeric topcoat prevents larger amounts of UV Radiation penetrate into deeper layers of the cover layer, where they stimulate the photocatalytically active metal oxides and thereby accelerate degradation of the polymer.
Die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Profile erfolgt bevorzugt durch ein dem Fachmann grundsätzlich bekanntes Coextrusionsver- fahren, bei dem mit einem Hauptextruder der PVC-Ansatz - üblicherweise in Form eines Dryblends - aufgeschmolzen und einem Extrusionswerkzeug zugeführt wird. Parallel hierzu wird in einem zweiten Extruder ein PMMA-Granulat aufgeschmolzen und über getrennte Verteilerkanäle in bestimmte Bereiche desselben Werkzeugs geleitet. Unmittelbar im Anschluss an die Extrusion des Profils erfolgt bei Hohlkammerprofilen die dem Fachmann geläufige Kalibrierung. Bezüglich der Coextrusion von PMMA und PVC wird auf die DE 22 46 497 B2 verwiesen, auf die hiermit vollinhaltlich Bezug genommen wird.The production of the profiles according to the invention is preferably carried out by a coextrusion method which is fundamentally known to the person skilled in the art, in which the PVC batch, usually in the form of a dry blend, is melted with a main extruder and fed to an extrusion tool. Parallel to this, a PMMA granulate is melted in a second extruder and passed through separate distribution channels in certain areas of the same tool. Immediately following the extrusion of the profile takes place in hollow chamber profiles familiar to the expert calibration. With regard to the coextrusion of PMMA and PVC, reference is made to DE 22 46 497 B2, to which reference is hereby incorporated by reference.
Das zur Extrusion eingesetzte PMMA-Granulat enthält bevorzugt bereits den erfindungsgemäßen Anteil an photokatalytisch wirksamem Metalloxid und Pigmenten. Die Herstellung dieser PMMA- Granulate kann beispielsweise in handelsüblichen gleich- laufenden Doppelschneckenextrudern (Compoundierextrudern) erfolgen. Vor der Granuliereinheit werden dem PMMA noch diverse Additive zugemischt. Die Additive können dem PMMA im Compoun- dierextruder als Pulver, als Agglomerat oder Granulat oder in flüssiger Form zudosiert werden, wobei man wegen der not- wendigen Genauigkeit oft gravimetrische Dosiersysteme benutzt.The PMMA granules used for extrusion preferably already contains the fraction according to the invention of photocatalytically active metal oxide and pigments. The preparation of these PMMA granules can be carried out, for example, in commercially available co-running twin-screw extruders (compounding extruders). Before the granulating unit, various additives are added to the PMMA. The additives can be added to the PMMA in the compounder extruder as powder, as agglomerate or granules or in liquid form, whereby gravimetric metering systems are often used because of the required accuracy.
Es ist aber auch möglich, PMMA-Pulver oder -Mahlgut mit den gewünschten Zusatzstoffen homogen zu mischen und das Gemisch danach zu granulieren. Dies ist insbesondere dann vorteilhaft, wenn der Zusatzstoff eine mangelnde Rieselfähigkeit aufweist, was bei vielen pulverförmigen Materialien, insbesondere bei mineralischen Zuschlagstoffen wie beispielsweise Titandioxid, Kreide etc. der Fall ist.However, it is also possible to homogeneously mix PMMA powder or meal with the desired additives and then to granulate the mixture. This is particularly advantageous if the additive has a lack of flowability, which is the case with many powdery materials, especially mineral aggregates such as titanium dioxide, chalk, etc.
Die Oberfläche der erfindungsgemäßen Kunststoffprofile wird bei üblicher Verwendung sowohl einer UV-Bestrahlung - insbesondere durch Sonnenlicht - als auch dem Einfluss von Feuchtigkeit
- insbesondere durch Regen - ausgesetzt. Beide Faktoren sind für den „selbstreinigenden" und hydrophilierenden Charakter der Oberfläche wichtig.The surface of the plastic profiles according to the invention is in common use of both a UV irradiation - in particular by sunlight - and the influence of moisture - especially by rain - suspended. Both factors are important for the "self-cleaning" and hydrophilizing character of the surface.
Die coextrudierten Profile weisen allerdings zunächst noch eine geringe Selbstreinigungs-Wirkung der Oberfläche auf. Es hat sich überraschend herausgestellt, dass durch spanende Bearbeitung der Oberfläche, insbesondere durch Schleifen, die selbstreinigende und hydrophilierende Wirkung der photokata- lytisch wirksamen Metalloxide erheblich gesteigert werden kann. Es wird vermutet, dass die photokatalytisch wirksamen Metalloxide zunächst noch an der Oberfläche von PMMA-Polymer umhüllt und damit quasi inertisiert sind. Durch das Schleifen werden die photokatalytisch wirksamen Metalloxide offenbar in ausreichenden Mengen freigelegt.However, the coextruded profiles initially still have a low self-cleaning effect of the surface. It has surprisingly been found that by machining the surface, in particular by grinding, the self-cleaning and hydrophilizing action of the photocatalytically active metal oxides can be considerably increased. It is assumed that the photocatalytically active metal oxides are initially enveloped on the surface of PMMA polymer and thus virtually inerted. By grinding the photocatalytically active metal oxides are apparently exposed in sufficient quantities.
Die katalytische Wirksamkeit kann in der Form nachgewiesen werden, dass eine wässrige Lösung von Methylenblau in Kontakt zu der zu messenden Oberfläche gebracht, die Lösung im Kontakt mit der zu messenden Oberfläche dem UV-Licht ausgesetzt und die Abnahme der Färbung der Lösung über der Zeit gemessen wird.The catalytic activity can be demonstrated by bringing an aqueous solution of methylene blue into contact with the surface to be measured, exposing the solution in contact with the surface to be measured to UV light, and measuring the decrease in color of the solution over time becomes.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung wird die Deckschicht nach der Profilextrusion bzw. nach dem Schleifen der Deckschicht-Oberfläche durch UV-Belichtung aktiviert. Hierbei kann ggf. eine leichte Verfärbung der Deckschicht beobachtet werden, die aber nur bei der ersten intensiven UV-Belichtung auftritt.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cover layer is activated after the profile extrusion or after the surface layer has been sanded by UV exposure. Here, if necessary, a slight discoloration of the top layer can be observed, which occurs only in the first intensive UV exposure.
Bevorzugtes Einsatzgebiet der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Extrusion von selbstreinigenden Profilen zur Herstellung von Fenstern und Türen, insbesondere in Form von Hohlkammerprofilen. Die erfindungsgemäße Deckschicht auf der Basis eines organischen Polymers, insbesondere aus PMMA, bedeckt dabei bevorzugt nur Teilbereiche der Profiloberfläche, insbesondere die der Witterung ausgesetzten Außenseiten der Profile. Es hat sich als besonderer Vorteil herausgestellt, dass solche coextrudierten Fenster- bzw. Türprofile ohne Weiteres auf Gehrung geschnitten und im Gehrungsbereich miteinander verschweißt
werden können, wobei auch im Gehrungsbereich die PMMA- Deckschicht nahezu nahtlos verläuft und dadurch der selbstreinigende Effekt bis in den Gehrungsbereich vorhanden ist.Preferred field of application of the present invention is the extrusion of self-cleaning profiles for the production of windows and doors, in particular in the form of hollow chamber profiles. The cover layer according to the invention based on an organic polymer, in particular of PMMA, preferably covers only partial areas of the profile surface, in particular the outside of the profiles exposed to the weather. It has turned out to be a particular advantage that such coextruded window or door profiles are readily mitred and welded together in the miter area can also be in the miter area, the PMMA cover layer is almost seamless and thus the self-cleaning effect is present in the miter area.
Kurze Beschreibung der Zeichnung Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels sowie der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt dabei: Fig. 1 einen Querschnitt durch ein erfindungsgemäßes Fensterprofil (Blendrahmen und Flügelrahmen) .BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment and the drawing. 1 shows a cross section through an inventive window profile (frame and casement).
Bester Weg zur Ausführung der ErfindungBest way to carry out the invention
In Fig. 1 sind ein erfindungsgemäßes Blendrahmenprofil 1 sowie ein entsprechendes Flügelrahmenprofil 2 im Querschnitt dargestellt. Von den Konturen her gesehen handelt es sich dabei um handelsübliche Kunststoffprofile zur Herstellung von Fenstern, wie sie unter der Handelsbezeichnung Trocal, System Innonova M5, von der Anmelderin vertrieben werden. Die Profile sind in dem Fachmann an sich bekannter Weise im Coextrusionsverfahren mit weiß eingefärbter PMMA-Schicht hergestellt.In Fig. 1, an inventive frame profile 1 and a corresponding sash profile 2 are shown in cross section. Seen from the contours, these are commercially available plastic profiles for the production of windows, as sold under the trade name Trocal, System Innonova M5, by the applicant. The profiles are produced in a manner known per se in the art by coextrusion with a white-colored PMMA layer.
Der Ansatz für das Grundprofil auf Basis von PVC-U enthält neben dem thermoplastischen Polymer PVC noch übliche Mengen an Kreide, inertisiertem Tiθ2 als Weißpigment, Typ Kronos 2220, sowie eine bleifreie Stabilisierung auf Basis Calzium-Zink.The approach for the basic profile based on PVC-U contains in addition to the thermoplastic polymer PVC still conventional amounts of chalk, inertized TiO 2 as white pigment, type Kronos 2220, and a lead-free stabilization based on calcium-zinc.
Die mit den PVC-Grundprofilen 3, 4 aus PVC-U coextrudierten PMMA-Beschichtungen 5, 6 haben jeweils eine Stärke von 0,5 mm und wurden aus folgender Rezeptur gefertigt:The PMMA coatings 5, 6 coextruded with the PVC base profiles 3, 4 each have a thickness of 0.5 mm and were produced from the following formulation:
Tabelle 1:Table 1:
Dieser Ansatz für die PMMA-Beschichtungen 5, 6 wurde zunächst in einem gleichlaufenden Doppelschnecken-Compoundierextruder bei einer Temperatur von 240 0C gemischt, homogenisiert und zu einem Granulat verarbeitet. Das Granulat besitzt eine weiße Farbe. This approach for the PMMA coatings 5, 6 was first mixed in a concurrent twin-screw compounding extruder at a temperature of 240 0 C, homogenized and processed into granules. The granules have a white color.
Im Anschluss an die Extrusion mit nachfolgender, dem Fachmann an sich bekannter Kalibrierung und Abkühlung der Oberfläche auf ca. 30 0C wird die PMMA-Oberflache mittels Schleifbürsten angeschliffen .Following the extrusion with subsequent calibration and cooling of the surface known per se to about 30 ° C., the PMMA surface is sanded by means of abrasive brushes.
Nach einmaliger Aktivierung der photokatalytisch wirksamen Tiθ2"Partikel in der Oberfläche der PMMA-Schicht mit einer UV- Bestrahlung (100 h mit einer VITALUX-Lampe) weisen die Oberflächen der PMMA-Schichten 5, 6 eine ausgesprochen hydrophile Oberfläche auf. Die quantitative Wirkung der photokatalytischen Aktivität kann über die Aufhellung einer wässrigen Lösung von Methynelblau über der Zeit unter UV-Bestrahlung abgeschätzt werden. Im Vergleich zu handelsüblichen photokatalytisch beschichteten Verglasungen (Typ Aktiv-Glas, Fa. Pilkington) ergibt sich eine noch höhere photokatalytische Wirkung der PMMA-beschichteten erfindungsgemäßen Profile.After a single activation of the photocatalytically active TiO 2 particles in the surface of the PMMA layer with UV irradiation (100 h with a VITALUX lamp), the surfaces of the PMMA layers 5, 6 have a markedly hydrophilic surface photocatalytic activity can be estimated over the lightening of an aqueous solution of methylene blue over time under UV irradiation.This results in an even higher photocatalytic effect of the PMMA-coated invention compared to commercially available photocatalytically coated glazings (type active glass, Pilkington) profiles.
