SINGLE-SIDED BAND WITH FOLIENT CARRIER

The invention relates to an at least one-sided tacky tape with a film carrier and its use as a sliding adhesive tape.

In vehicle construction panels are used for aesthetic or practical reasons in many places, which are fixed on the underlying body part. This concerns, for example, the B-pillars in an automobile. Depending on the type of car, the panels can be found both on the fixed pillar and on the door pillar which hits and / or hinges there.

Such a panel can be fixed by a curing adhesive, a permanent adhesive adhesive or by a positive connection. The present invention is concerned only with the latter possibility; For example, there are folds on the panel, which engage in a correspondingly shaped recess in the metal sheet or in a counterfold and hook it with this or this. Unfortunately, paneled body panels often produce creaking noises which are perceived as disturbing by the sought-after prospect for a new car. Because the B-pillar of a body of the courtesy customer on a test drive particularly close to one of his ears, the sensitivity to noise generated there is particularly high.

The use of a coefficient of friction between the panel and door spar on the B-pillar-lowering film is known to reduce the problem. It is also known to apply a strip of self-adhesive for mounting such a friction-reducing film. Although this construction has already made progress, but not yet to the desired extent. In an effort to shift these sounds into the inaudible realm of adult human beings, the inventors first analyzed the generation of noise with particular care.

They have recognized as problematic that the materials of the panel and body

different stiff,

burdened differently,

exposed in different ways a warming sunlight and different coefficients of expansion

are.

For example, after leaving a cool garage in the morning and entering the vehicle in glaring sunlight on the driver's side, much faster heating and accompanying expansion of the initially irradiated diaphragm occurs than the body panel underneath. This inevitably leads to small sliding movements between the two parts, which cause creaking sounds in the manner known from wood constructions at the beginning of breaking. Because of this deeply subconscious association between noise character and noise-causing event, these sounds cause the end customer a significant reduction in the sensation of soundness of the purchased product and lead to a reduced appreciation, which affects the achievable price. But even without temperature gradient between the panel and body arises such a tension between the panel and body at each load change of the B-pillar, because any change in load must lead to a change in shape of the B-pillar because of their inevitably limited rigidity. But because the bezel is usually not burdened with, so synonymous with their load changes nothing, this shape just does not change, so again small glides between the panel and body arise with the same noise and effects on the quality feel as in the previous paragraph described.

Although earlier inventors had recognized that the plastic part rubs against the metallic substrate, especially in the area of the fold located in the recess, and This causes the disturbing and unpleasant creaking noises - at least the local inventors accept this because of the previously known solution attempt with a friction-reducing film - but a complete solution has not yet been achieved.

Even pasty or liquid lubricants are prohibited because they are usually based on water and volatilize after prolonged use on the vehicle through rain and washing operations. The creaking sounds occur only with a time delay. The effect of water during use is unavoidable, as it is an external accessory. Due to the surface quality of the system, the lubricant layer thins by the constant rubbing of the two surfaces, wears off and thus continuously reduces the protection against creaking noises.

The inventors have first theoretically penetrated the problem and have thus come to the conclusion that the shear difference produced by a diaphragm and sheet - regardless of whether triggered by temperature or voltage fluctuation - shear stress is not degraded by a continuous sliding but a discontinuous, namely divided into a large number of individual quanta. The energy released by the sliding of such a quantity depends not only on the height of the "coefficient of friction" as previously believed, but also depends on the difference between the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of sliding friction, because the inventors have recognized that a sliding quantum only when the shear stress exceeds the static friction, the sliding does not go as far as complete relaxation but only until the sliding friction can keep the balance of the remaining shear stress in equilibrium the process, so it releases more energy quantum almost abruptly, and these repetitions occur so often, until finally the remaining shear stress is below the sliding friction.

This periodic alternation between sliding friction and static friction influences the amplitude of the generated noise, because the inventors have found that the higher the difference between the squares of the two friction coefficients, the higher it is. Thus, the inventors have created an excellent criterion to select the most suitable from the large variety of possible film types. Incidentally, the film to be selected as optimum according to this criterion does not have the lowest possible frictional resistance, as was previously assumed to be optimal, and could have been achieved by a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Rather, according to the findings of the inventors, a somewhat higher coefficient for both the sliding friction and the static friction is to be accepted in the optimum found so far, but the difference between the squares of the two friction coefficients is particularly small.

The knowledge gained by the inventors has also been made more difficult by the fact that it is reported in the literature for PTFE that there would be virtually no difference between coefficient of static friction and sliding friction coefficient; However, this is true only for the friction pair PTFE compared to PTFE and not for the relevant pairing of PTFE compared to (naturally cured) car paint.

The invention thus teaches the departure from the usual expert opinion that among the polymeric sliding materials PTFE is the best and therefore also for the creaking noise suppression is best suited. A systematic series of experiments according to this new criterion has rather proven an extremely high molecular weight polyethylene as optimum. In its most extreme form, this material can no longer be produced by blowing (least suitable), calendering or extruding but only by scraping off the surface of a solid cylindrical rod similar to the veneer extraction from a tree trunk. Surprisingly, the never entirely avoidable scoring scores do not increase the difference between the two coefficient of friction squares. Planing even seems to have a favorable effect on the friction properties.

An even further penetration of the problem led the inventors to suppose that the found criterion for material selection not only lowers the amplitude of the basically inevitable creaking noises but also increases their frequency. The released energy quanta of the principle intermittent slipping are not only smaller but also follow each other faster. Part of the considerable progress made may also lie in the fact that the not entirely avoidable release of acoustic energy in a frequency range - preferably above 3 kHz - in which the sensitivity of the human ear decreases.

The following table summarizes the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of sliding friction between a few film materials to be considered as lubricants and painted car plate:

 Film material UHaft UGIeit Quadratsjeweils Differenz car paint

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) soft 1, 1 0,7 0,72 Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) hard 0,4 0,3 0,07

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) 0.25 0.2 0.0225

Polypropylene (PPHD) high molecular weight 0.6 0.4 0.2

Polyethylene (PEHD) high molecular weight 0.6 0.5 0.1 1

Polyethylene (PEUHMW)

ultra-high molecular weight 0.17 0.16 0.0033

The material PE-UHMW, selected as the most suitable with the new criterion, is an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (> 3 ^* 10 ⁶ g / mol). PE-UHMW is prepared from ethene with Ziegler-Natta catalysts, usually as powders with particle diameters of 100 to 200 μm. Due to its high molecular weight PE-UHMW has a very high viscosity and is therefore not conventional Modifiable and formable for ordinary thermoplastics. Although it can be extruded through a very wide nozzle, but never to the thinness required for film production. Because of their large thickness, annular extrudates can not be brought to the necessary thinness by a subsequent, expanding blowing in cross-section.

This material can be made only from the gel state by molding to a shape that suits as a semi-finished product. Film production from this material is only possible by planing a straight semifinished product or peeling off the lateral surface of a cylindrical semifinished product.

In particular, in the production of films by peeling arise not compensated residual stresses in the films, especially in the longitudinal direction. If you let the film their freedom, they want to roll up and that with the last lifted page inward, ie with the side from which was lifted off to the outside.

The preferred - and per se known - application of a continuous or discontinuous strip of self-adhesive (= permanently sticky mass) in the film longitudinal direction together with the then appropriate liner to protect it until the time of installation in the panel or the body part obstructs the film in their im Paragraph previously described curling tendency. It then gives at least partial relaxation by showing a tendency to curl in the transverse direction. So long as they are not forced into any shape, such foils coated with a strip of self-adhesive are not completely flat; Rather, their edges, which extend in the machine direction (also called longitudinal direction), ie the longitudinal edges, tend to curl due to internal stresses in the film. The film thus forms in a sectional area transversely to the longitudinal direction of the resulting sliding adhesive tape - which coincides with the circumferential direction of the shelled cylindrical semi-finished - at least partially the lateral surface of a circular cylinder, wherein the extent to which this lateral surface is closed depends on the height of the voltages , At low voltages results in only a small section, at high voltages, the lateral surface can be almost closed. This effect is undesirable in previously known films. As can be seen for example from DE 32 30 341 A1, complex measures are taken to prevent the curling of the film; There, the film is embossed in a predetermined manner. The present inventors, however - instead of avoiding the use of planed strips or foils - make use of this curling effect for the development of their invention by applying the self-adhesive strip just on the side to which the tape will roll up. Although this is more difficult to apply and also difficult to wrap afterwards, but brings for the user in the automotive equipment a particularly simple installation, because firstly, the non-self-adhesive coated flag of the sliding band particularly willingly adapts the aperture and second, the space for the import of the body counterparts stay safe and permanently free. Furthermore, this results in the flag end a relative maximum pressure and thus a well-defined end of the support surface on the inside of the panel, which prevents the formation of otherwise threatening rattling in the long term.

The self-adhesive is preferably based on polyacrylates or polyurethanes or rubbers such as natural rubber. Acrylate-based products of BASF, which are available under the name acResin UV or Acronal®, in particular Acronal® DS 3458, have proved particularly suitable as pressure-sensitive adhesive for this sliding strip. These low-molecular-weight PSAs of low K value obtain their application-oriented properties by means of a final radiation-induced crosslinking. The thickness of the adhesive strip is preferably between 20 and 400 μm, more preferably 100 μm.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to some figures. It shows in each case in cross section (whereby the hatches are saved)

Fig. 5 in a state occurring at the car manufacturer between its assembly start shown in Figure 4 and the completion of its assembly shown in Figure 2, the most preferred variant.

Notwithstanding a full scale representation of the subject invention, the at least one-sided tacky tape with particularly Knarzdämpfendem film carrier, shown in exaggerated thickness in all figures.

Figure 1 shows in its center fragmentary the B-pillar 3 of a car body, namely a raised elongate portion 31, which is also referred to as Gegenfalz. This Gegenfalz 31 U-shaped embracing a fold 21 of a panel 2 is shown, which is to disguise the B-pillar 3. In order to further suppress the formation of creaking noises in the contact between rabbet 21 and counterfold 31, a permanently tacky band 1 with a carrier 11 and a self-adhesive mass 12 applied over the entire area is arranged between fold 19 and counterfold 31. Because of this its function, the permanently sticky tape 1 is addressed in the context of this application as a "sliding belt".

Because car manufacturers like to delegate as much work to suppliers, the permanently sticky tape 1 is already mounted by the panel manufacturer, to which the permanently sticky side 12 of the tape 1 is turned to the panel 2. Consequently, the carrier 1 1 of the permanently tacky tape 1 is turned to the body-side Gegenfalz 31 so that it arrives at the friction pairing between it and the carrier 1 1. Of course, it is technically possible as well - as not shown here - to have the permanently sticky tape 1 from the manufacturer of the B-pillar 3 - so the Autohersteiler - mount, including the permanently sticky side 12 of the band 1 of the B-pillar 3 would have to be facing. Inevitably, then the carrier 1 1 of the permanently tacky tape 1 would be associated with the corresponding aperture 2 fold 21, so that it would affect the sliding properties between the carrier 1 1 and the fold 21 of the diaphragm 2, which often consists of polymethymethacrylate (PMMA). Of course, the embracing of the fold 21 to the Gegenfalz 31 can also be performed on the Umschlingungswinkel shown by 180 °, so as to allow, dispensing with further fasteners mounting only by clipping. Figure 2 shows a pertinent modification of the embodiment of Figure 1, that the self-adhesive composition 12 of the permanent adhesive tape 1 is not applied over the entire surface but only as a comparatively narrow strip, as seen in the figure below right. In this point, this variant corresponds to the application WO 2010/046292 A1. The non-self-adhesive 12 coated part of the tape 1 is also called flag 13 in this application. The adhesive freedom of the flag 13 facilitates their wrinkle-free insertion even in angled geometries.

One possibility for producing such a strip-shaped application of self-adhesive composition is first to produce a transfer adhesive tape on a process liner, apply this with the not covered by the process liner page on the support 1 1 at the desired location and then remove the process liner. According to a slightly different embodiment, the adhesive strip consists of a double-sided adhesive tape, which is laminated to the carrier 1 1. Furthermore, the application of self-adhesive composition is also possible by processes known from the printing industry, in particular by screen printing. The latter is to be considered in particular for larger parts and for final assemblies executed only by robots, because the surface areas which remain free between the densely spaced but not mutually extending adhesive points prevent the formation of gas bubbles. Furthermore, a method according to DE 103 09 447 A1 is possible, according to which a carrier web is guided past a dipping roller which is in contact with the carrier web, the roll is rotated in a bath with an adhesive, whereby the adhesive is transferred to the roll surface, and the roll is formed by grooves or a corresponding dehäsive coating such that after the roller passes through the bath on the roll surface at least an adhesive tape is present, which is transferred to the carrier material.

When mounting the panel 2 in the strip 12 permanently sticky tape 1 has been pressed around the provided on the body 3 Gegenfalz 31 around in the fold 21. Although the band 1 is free of self-adhesive over most of its extension on both sides, the determination by the strip 12 of self-adhesive means that slipping practically takes place only between band 1 and body 3 and not between band 1 and diaphragm 2.

The end 14 of the flag 13 comes - as shown here - preferably as a line contact with the adjacent component, here the inside of Blendenfalzes 21. Such a defined contact pressure of the end of the film prevents namely the formation of rattling noises. The description of Figure 3, in the introduction, was confronted with the fact that ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene has proved to be the material with which the smallest difference between the squares of the two coefficients of friction - ie static friction - and sliding friction coefficient - is achievable, a material that is not processable into films with the customary for film production process such as extrusion and / or blowing or calendering. With this material, this is only possible with a method that corresponds to peeling a veneer from a tree trunk.

However, the foils produced in this way are not exactly present in a constraint-free environment, but wind up along their longitudinal direction. If they are prevented at the longitudinal rewind - for example, by an application of self-adhesive and even more by the application of a liner on it - they roll up in the transverse direction. This effect - which invites any person skilled in the application of just such a film as a carrier of a usually flat adhesive tape - is shown in FIG. To quantify this effect, the angle α can be used. Its size depends on the bandwidth, the diameter of the "trunk" from which was planed, the Strip thickness, the cutting angle of the blade used for peeling, the peeling speed and any subsequent temperature treatments. In particular, when the angle α is greater than 180 °, this can be a problem for the worker in the automobile manufacturing plant, who wants to assemble the aperture 3 already equipped with the self-adhesive sliding tape 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) (see ibid.). This becomes even more acute when the angle of curling, a, becomes even greater, for example 400 °. There are even applications where it reaches 720 °.

Because of their knowledge of the correct selection criteria, namely Haft ² - cieit ² should be minimal, and the further realization that now just this otherwise so uncomfortable behaving foil best meets the above criterion, the inventors have not but by the Einroll difficulty to dissuade her project. As a clever solution to this detail problem was found to stick the sliding belt 1 so around in the U-shaped recess or fold 21 that the curvature that wants to take the tape 1 is reversed oriented to the curvature of the fold 21. To even as a tape manufacturer the worker On the assembly line of the panel manufacturer only to allow this installation method, which in turn facilitates the worker on the assembly line of the car manufacturer, the self-adhesive composition is applied according to the preferred embodiment just on the side of the curl tendency film, which is the inner side when unrolled rolling. Although this page selection, which is illustrated in FIG. 3, complicates the application of the self-adhesive composition, it could be achieved by selecting suitable web tension and web paths in front of the coating unit.

After the manufacturing difficulties were mastered, this way of dealing with the tendency to curl even showed an advantage of the originally unplanned film in connection with a limitation of the self-adhesive to a relatively narrow strip: In addition to the place of their attachment by self-adhesive, this film is after mounting the Aperture in the car factory well-defined in linear contact and with slight preload alone with the end edge of its flag on the panel. So there are no preload surface contact, which in turn can be the source of rattling noises. Figure 4 shows the invention, in a strip 12 permanently sticky sliding band 1 after its mounting on the panel 2 but before the assembly of the panel 2 to a body part such as a B-spar. The flag 13, that is, the adhesive-free part of the carrier 1 1, bridges the insertion opening in the fold 21st

Figure 5 shows the two same parts 1 and 2 as Figure 4, but during the slipping over the Blendenfalzes 21 on the body Gegenfalz 31 approximately halfway through the Einführweges. The end portion 14 of the flag 13 slides during insertion on the free end 22 of the Blendenfalzes 21. The thereby to be overcome slight sliding resistance between the flag end 14 and the end 22 of the fold 21 - wherein said sliding resistance is formed by a contact pressure, which in turn by the forcing of the carrier 1 1 in a curvature inversely to the inherent transverse curvature arises - causes a tightening of the Gleitbandes during the insertion operation, thus avoiding the emergence of wrinkles that would counteract the desired noise-reducing effect. All this is achieved without the end mechanic in the automotive plant would require special precision engineering skill. Therefore, a particularly fast mountability is expected at a particularly low rate of complaints.

If one were to continue the illustration of the assembly method made possible by the invention and its further development, then the figure 6, which has already been shown as FIG. 2, would now have the exact same figure. Because the coefficient of sliding friction on both sides of the film produced by planing or peeling is not too different from each other, ie on the side that is forced to the outside of the buckle in the automotive final assembly, not too high, the pressing force of the flag end does not need too much to be low. In fact - so a further development of the invention - the contact pressure of the flag end 14 should be at least so high to the opposite surface of the panel 2 that even with the toughest vibration stress - usually idle speed of the cold engine - is still ensured in every phase of the vibration in that the flag rests without clearance on the intended mating surface, because otherwise rattling noises can occur. For this purpose, the Einrolltendenz the carrier film 1 1, which was originally perceived only as somehow acceptable evil has deliberately been set quite large, which is achieved by producing a significantly larger inherent roll-in angle than the smallest possible one, namely as shown in the corresponding subclaims. This is particularly possible by choosing a smallest possible blade angle and a low temperature during peeling and a large film thickness.

Namely, preferably the opening angle α of the curvature is greater than 20 °, more preferably the opening angle α of the curvature is between 70 ° and 720 °, more preferably 80 ° and 360 °, especially between 90 ° and 180 °.

The film carrier and / or the adhesive are preferably transparent. A completely transparent product obtained in this way does not appear unaesthetic, even if it has not been glued to the right place, leaving areas uncovered. The same happens sometimes - due to application errors - in the area of the visible edge between rebate and Gegenfalz.

Compared to car paint, the surface of a sliding belt made from the extremely high-molecular-weight PE has not only more favorable friction coefficients than PTFE, but also a higher abrasion resistance, which keeps the creaking noise suppression functional over the years.

The adhesive tape equipped on one side with an adhesive is constructed as follows and has the specified technical values:

The acrylate self-adhesive is covered with release paper. Test Methods

The measurements are carried out at a test climate of 23 ± 1 ° C and 50 ± 5% rel. Humidity carried out.

The tensile elongation behavior of the adhesive tape is tested on type 2 test specimens (rectangular, 150 mm long and, if possible, 15 mm wide test strips) according to DIN EN ISO 527-3 / 3/300 with a test speed of 300 mm / min, a clamping length of 100 mm and a pre-load of 0.3 N / cm, with patterns being cut to determine the data with sharp blades.

The tensile elongation behavior is tested in the machine direction (MD, direction of travel) unless otherwise specified. The force is expressed in N / stripe width and the elongation at break in%. The test results, in particular the elongation at break (elongation at break), must be statistically verified by a sufficient number of measurements.

Adhesive forces are determined at a deduction angle of 180 ° according to AFERA 4001 on (if possible) 15 mm wide test strips. In this case, steel plates according to the AFERA standard are used as the test substrate, as far as no other primer is mentioned.

The thickness of the film of the adhesive tape is determined according to DIN 53370 (the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not taken into account). To determine the convex curvature of the film, a rectangular test piece with the edge dimensions 20 × 150 mm is cut from a carrier web so that the 20 mm are transverse to the machine direction of the film. This specimen is then stored for one hour at 50 ° C in a drying oven. Thereafter, the strip is allowed to condition for two hours at room temperature. The opening angle can then be read off with a commercially available protractor.
