Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the pressurized filling of spray cans or pressure containers. More in particular, the invention relates to injecting liquids into spray cans, before closing the can by means of a valve, in which, eventually, a composition for forming a polyurethane (PU) foam will be packaged.
  • PU polyurethane
  • Polyurethane foam has many applications, especially in the construction industry. It is frequently used as a mounting material and as an insulation material, and often also for filling up and/or sealing holes and cracks. It is easily applicable from a pressurized spray can, easily adheres to most surfaces, and in many cases is even paintable. Shortly after application, a solid foam is formed that may be cut, so that excess volume may easily be removed.
  • the polyol mixture In order to eventually obtain a foaming product, three components are required: the polyol mixture, the isocyanate, and the propellant gas.
  • the polyol mixture and the isocyanate are the necessary ingredients for obtaining a polyurethane plastic. These two components are liquid under ambient conditions.
  • the propellant gas ensures that the polyurethane foams and is driven out of the spray can. It does not take part in the reaction but does contribute to influencing the physical properties of the liquid in the spray can, such as its viscosity.
  • the 2k PU systems comprise 2 pressurized containers, one containing the polyol mixture and the other containing the isocyanate, and, using pressure from propellant gas in each of the containers, these components are first combined and mixed before the mixture is expelled immediately afterwards.
  • a smaller container is arranged inside the spray can, which contains a reagent, usually a fast-reacting polyol.
  • the small container Before using the spray can. the small container first needs to be opened or“activated” by the user, for instance by moving a rotary knob at the bottom of the spray can, releasing the contents of the smaller container. By shaking the whole, the contents of the small container may be mixed with the contents in the spray can around the small container, and the contents of the small container is allowed to react with the latter.
  • Such an activating system is for instance described in WO 2016/120336 A1 .
  • the polyol mixture and the isocyanate react in the spray can immediately after filling, thereby forming the pre-polymer.
  • the ratio in which these components are mixed usually with an excess of isocyanate component, and the nature of the components themselves, are responsible for the eventual properties of the final product.
  • the pre-polymer will foam, and the foamed pre-polymer will react with moisture from the ambient air and possibly also from the substrate with which it is put into contact. This final reaction with moisture is what causes the fresh foam to set and to foam even further due to the formation of CO2.
  • the final setting is much less, or even barely, dependent on a reaction with moisture from the environment.
  • 1 k PU foam especially, is nowadays used by both professionals and DIYers alike, and has become a toolbox staple, in addition to silicone sealant and contact adhesive.
  • the packaging, and in particular the development of the valve, have played a major role in this breakthrough and the acceptance of 1 k PU foam as a“practical and effortless” product.
  • a dosing gun or spray-gun or another device that handles well and usually also allows precise dosage and application, so that even narrow seams can easily be filled without too much waste.
  • Cans or containers for such use are therefore provided with a specially adapted gun coupling piece or ring, which is placed around the valve onto the spray can, and is intended to enable a coupling with the spray-gun or other device, which is usually intended for applying the contents of the can where needed.
  • the gun coupling piece usually also comprises a protective cover that, as a seal over the valve of the container, protects the valve, and should be removed before use in order to liberate the valve.
  • the spray-gun may then be screwed onto the ring or onto the gun coupling piece, which is placed onto the can, threadedly or by means of a snap fit system, causing the valve to be simultaneously pressed into its open position, thus immediately readying the spray-gun for use.
  • a suitable and very easy-to-use“Click & Fix” system of a ring and matching spray-gun is described in WO 98/43894 and WO 201 1/151296 A2.
  • a threaded system is for instance described in US 5,271 ,537 and in EP 2576080.
  • Containers with polyurethane foam intended for the DIY are usually not provided with a ring for screwing or snap-fitting a spray- gun onto them.
  • the valve is usually freely accessible, and may itself be internally or externally threaded, allowing an applicator tube, sold separately or supplied together with the container, to be twisted or screwed onto it, or attached to it in any other suitable way, which is provided with a lever which when pressed tilts the valve and thus allows the valve to be manually opened, and, when released, to be closed again.
  • the valve should therefore be freely accessible, and it is common for the container for the DIY market segment to be provided with a protective cap which is removably attached to the container, and which thus protects the valve until the time of use.
  • a suitable protective cap is for instance described in EP 2371738 A1 .
  • the pressure containers or spray cans themselves are usually made of metal, and are usually cylindrical in shape.
  • the bottom is usually formed by a plate, arranged by means of a flange onto the cylinder, and is usually inwardly concave, to be better able to resist the internal pressures while maintaining the ability for the container to be placed upright onto a flat surface.
  • the top is usually provided with a container head, which is also arranged onto the cylinder by means of a flange, and which is usually convex, for the same reasons of a higher resistance to pressure.
  • a filling opening is provided, usually in a central position in the cylinder head.
  • Filling containers with liquids is a technique used in many industries, such as in the distribution of milk and juices, usually in containers that are not pressurized, or in cosmetics, perfumes or other personal care products. These cases often concern highly fluid and non-viscous liquids, which may readily be introduced through the valve into the already closed spray can.
  • US 2010/0024910 A1 describes a filling nozzle for a filling station of beverages into containers, whereby the filling nozzle is provided with a very precisely implemented flow straightening plate, allowing the prevention of dripping after the filling, and allowing the liquid streams to always and reliably converge again downstream so as to obtain one stable outflow, without any air being entrained.
  • the outlet openings of the fine holes in the flow straightening plate are specifically aligned and are further provided with a chamfered end so as to achieve the converging of the liquid streams after leaving the nozzle, within a large range of flow rates and with different foodstuffs such as water, tomato juice and corn potage.
  • the flow straightening plate is provided with very special and precise features as to its upper and lower surfaces and the number, positioning and orientation of the fine holes through it, and is therefore manufactured separately from the much less precise filling nozzle into which the plate is mounted. Potential blocking issues are prevented by a suitable selection of the dimensions of the fine holes through the flow straightening plate. The document is not concerned with the replacement of the nozzle in case of problems.
  • US 2012/0291898 A1 describes an apparatus for quickly filling into containers a precisely measured amount of liquids such as milk and juices, whereby foaming, in particular, is to be avoided, but dripping should also be avoided if possible.
  • the apparatus is provided with a sealing element characterized by two positions. In the first position, only the central part of the nozzle is opened so that, initially, a small amount of liquid enters the container and covers the bottom.
  • the sealing element opens further into its second position with full opening of the nozzle, whereby the filling continues at a higher rate without foaming or splashing.
  • the first position is again temporarily employed, so that foaming and splashing are avoided at the end of the filling step as well.
  • This document like the one described above, is not concerned with the replacement of the nozzle in case of problems.
  • US 9909290 B2 and the corresponding WO 2015/043854 A1 describe an apparatus for filling free-flowing products, in particular foodstuffs such as milk, fruit juices, sauces and yogurt, without splashing or dripping into cardboard or plastic containers that are non- rotationally symmetrical, but, for instance, comprise rectangular surfaces, and that are closed afterwards by means of a welding operation.
  • the document teaches to adjust, by means of carefully selected number, shape and orientation of the small channels in the nozzle, which is preferably made of stainless steel, the shape of the liquid flow to the surfaces of the packaging. The document is not concerned with replacing the nozzle in case of problems.
  • the empty container is usually filled through this central filling opening in the head, and this opening is subsequently closed off by securing or“crimping” the valve onto the edge or rim of the filling opening.
  • Many of the components are liquids under atmospheric conditions, and may therefore be filled into the container through the large filling opening, usually an opening of 1 inch in diameter, before closing the can by means of the valve.
  • the propellant gasses intended to provide the higher pressure may then subsequently be introduced into the container after this has been closed off with the valve, through the valve. This often-used method is called“filling under pressure”.
  • the pressure in the can is then further increased after closing the container and injecting the propellant gasses, because an exothermic chemical reaction takes place between the components, in particular after the shaking of the container.
  • the filling of the liquids into the spray can through the central filling opening in the head is usually carried out in a filling station, whereby the empty spray can is put into place into a carousel, and by rotating the carousel in a step-by-step manner, with each step assumes the next place in the filling station. Above several of those places in the carousel, a filling head is mounted, which is lowered onto the spray can.
  • the filling head is raised again.
  • the edge of the filling head with the outer head is pressed by a spring downward again relative to the rest of the filling head which moves further upward, and the obturator in the filling head closes again.
  • the spray can then is detached and released from the filling head, and becomes once again available for being brought to its next position in the carousel.
  • the liquid Due to the high velocity at which it flows through the obturator in the filling head, the liquid receives a strong turbulence the moment that it enters the space of the filling head downstream from the obturator. If the liquid would still flow turbulently at the moment of its release into the spray can, this would lead to uncontrolled splashing and spraying. The liquid therefore risks to partially end up where it does not belong, which would lead to a loss of liquid and to a soiling of the spray can and of the filling station, which, due to the reactive nature of the liquid, is highly undesirable.
  • this nozzle In order to break the turbulence before the liquid is released into the spray can, the liquid, upon leaving the space in the outer head downstream from the obturator, is forced to flow through an integrated part of the outer head forming a nozzle.
  • this nozzle In order to obtain the desired laminar flow when entering the spray can, this nozzle is characterized by a plurality of elongated and narrow channels, usually a series of holes having small diameters, drilled through the bottom wall of the outer head, whereby that wall is given substantial thickness to ensure a high L/D ratio of the liquid channels through the nozzle, so that, owing to the surface tension of the liquid, a capillary action is generated that keeps the liquid inside the small channels and lowers the risk of leaking.
  • the small channels through the nozzle at the edge of the nozzle are preferably drilled at an angle, so as to keep the liquid flows apart during filling and to spray part of the liquid against the inner wall of the spray can, further lowering the risk of leaking and/or splashing.
  • This limits the number of holes that may be drilled, and thus has a limiting and therefore detrimental effect on the achievable dosing speed and the pressure buildup in the filling head.
  • Manufacturing an outer head with an integrated nozzle as described herein is therefore a complex affair.
  • a large number of holes having a small diameter but great depth need to be drilled through the bottom wall of the outer head, which places high demands on the choice of material of the bottom wall of the outer head and of the drill, especially in view of a rapid dissipation of the heat that is unavoidably released during said drilling.
  • Manufacturing such an outer head is therefore a time-consuming and painstaking matter.
  • the fine channels in the nozzle also give raise to various operational issues during packaging of PU foam compositions.
  • the liquids to be filled are susceptible to strong erosion due to the rather high speeds with which the liquid are made to flow through them.
  • the walls between two adjacent channels are very thin in places, and when they are eliminated or damaged by erosion, a larger channel is created, which is more susceptible to cause unwanted turbulent flow and dripping of liquid from the filling head after closing the obturator in the filling head.
  • Those drops will then end up outside of the spray can, or on the carousel of the filling station. Due to the reactive nature of the liquids for PU foam, such soiling renders the spray can unusable or hinders the proper functioning of the filling station.
  • the fine channels in the nozzle easily become blocked, or may become constricted, when small solid dust particles are present in the liquid, or when crystals and/or solid dust particles are formed, as may occur in the case of an isocyanate liquid.
  • an isocyanate liquid is susceptible to polymerization and even to crosslinking and to the formation of a tacky solid substance upon contact with a compound with which it can react. And there are many such compounds, even including water or moisture. When some of the channels become blocked, the liquid velocities in the other channels will further increase, subjecting them to higher erosion.
  • the present invention aims to avoid or at least alleviate the problems described above and/or to provide improvements in general.
  • the present invention provides for a filling station for filling liquids for a polyurethane (PU) foam composition into a spray can, through the filling opening before closing the can by means of a valve, whereby at least one filling head of the filling station is provided with an unscrewable outer head containing a removable nozzle therein.
  • PU polyurethane
  • the present invention provides for a method for filling, using a filling station according to the present invention, of at least one liquid for a polyurethane (PU) foam composition into a spray can through the filling opening before closing the can by means of a valve, whereby at least one liquid filling is introduced into the spray can through the filling head, which is provided with the unscrewable outer head with the removable nozzle.
  • PU polyurethane
  • the screwed-on outer head has only two parts, i.e. only the outer head itself with its threaded connection onto the filling head, and preferably made of metal, and the removable nozzle, which is attached in the outer head but which is easily removable therefrom, preferably by simply pushing it out.
  • This offers the advantage that the replacement of the nozzle may be carried out in a very simple and quick manner, so that the filling station only needs to be out of service for a very short time to allow this intervention, and may be started up again very quickly.
  • a further advantage is that no additional parts are involved in this intervention, which could become damaged or be lost in or during the intervention.
  • the removable nozzle is much easier to manufacture, using a much simpler method, than similar arrangements known from the current state of the art. We have found that this allows the cost of the nozzle to be lowered significantly, preferably to the point that the cost of a new specimen becomes so low that the expenses saved by the cleaning and reuse of an already used specimen are insufficient to justify the risk of a possible malfunction of a reused specimen, after a shorter time of reuse than after the first use, or possibly even immediately upon reuse, for instance as a consequence of excess erosion or damage during cleaning.

  • spray can and pressure container are used interchangeably and are considered synonyms of each other.
  • spray can and pressure container may in the context of the present invention not necessarily always be meant a spray can or a pressure container, but these terms should indeed include spray cans and pressure containers.
  • the pressure containers or spray cans themselves are usually made of metal, and are usually cylindrical in shape.
  • the bottom is usually formed by a plate, arranged onto the cylinder by means of a flange, and is usually concave, the better to be able to resist the internal pressures while maintaining the ability of the container to be placed upright onto a flat surface.
  • the top is usually provided with a container head, which is also arranged onto the cylinder by means of a flange, and which is usually convex, for the same reasons of a higher resistance to pressure.
  • a filling opening is provided, usually in a central position in the cylinder head.
  • the empty container is usually filled through this central filling opening in the head, and this opening is subsequently closed off by securing or“crimping” the valve onto the edge of the filling opening.
  • Many of the components may be filled into the container under atmospheric pressure, and the components intended to provide the higher pressure may then subsequently be introduced into the container after it has been closed off with the valve. This method is called“filling under pressure”.
  • the pressure in the can is then further increased after closing the container and injecting the propellant gasses, because an exothermic chemical reaction takes place between the components, in particular after shaking the container.
  • the propellant gasses could also be introduced at the time of filling of the container, as a sufficiently cold liquid, which may subsequently evaporate after the container is closed. This latter method is however used less and less often, because it usually leads to higher emissions of propellant gasses, with adverse economic and ecological consequences.
  • valve for spray cans containing PU foam is characterized, as described above, by a much wider passage than the one on spray cans having a less viscous content, to allow a sufficiently rapid discharge. This wider passage also brings advantages when introducing the propellant gas.
  • Spray cans containing PU foam are usually much larger than those containing the less viscous compositions listed hereinabove.
  • a spray can containing PU foam often has a content of 1000 ml, while spray cans for other applications are often much smaller, at most 400 ml and often no more than 200 or as little as 150 ml.
  • the pressure in the spray can containing PU foam is significantly higher than in the other spray cans, mainly because of the higher viscosity of the composition in the can.
  • the amount of propellant gas to be introduced is therefore significantly higher in spray cans containing PU foam than in most other spray cans containing a less viscous contents.
  • the wider passage through the stem of the valve for PU foam offers the advantage that it allows this larger amount of propellant gas to still be introduced quickly, even only through the valve stem, so that the filling step of propellant gas does not, or only rarely, limit the throughput speed of the filling machine.
  • the pressure in a filled and ready-to-use spray can or container containing 1 k PU foam is typically about 5 bar gauge.
  • the containers are usually capable of not deforming permanently up to a pressure of 18 bar gauge, and are designed not to burst up to a pressure of below 21 ,6 bar gauge.
  • the valve is usually designed to withstand a pressure of at least 22 bar gauge.
  • Other containers exist which are merely capable of remaining intact up to a pressure of 12 or 15 bar gauge.
  • the outlet side of the outer head is provided with a constriction and the nozzle is provided with a laterally flared widening that is adapted to be blocked by the constriction in the outer head.
  • the nozzle is provided with a pattern of small channels for guiding the liquid through the nozzle.
  • These channels offer the advantage that the flow of liquid upon leaving the outer head with the nozzle is mainly laminar, and leaves the nozzle with some force. This lowers the risk for a part of the liquid to remain hanging from the nozzle and then, by dripping off later, ending up in places where it is unwanted. This lowers the risk of unwanted soiling of the spray can and/or of the filling station and/or the conveyor belt.
  • An additional advantage is that these channels bring about a higher liquid pressure upstream of the nozzle, so that the latter is better held in place.
  • the small channels through the nozzle are implemented in parallel. This offers the advantage that more channels may be provided than if at least part of the small channels have to be provided at an angle.
  • This nozzle design offers a larger flow-through area, which allows a higher dosing speed, so that the production rate may be higher, especially in the case of more viscous liquids.
  • the small channels have a length/diameter (L/D) ratio of at least 5, preferably at least 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 1 1 . This is even better for ensuring a laminar flow of liquid through the nozzle, and thus for lowering the risk even further of soiling of the spray can and/or the filling station and/or the conveyor belt.
  • the nozzle is manufactured by additive manufacturing, preferably using 3D printing.
  • additive manufacturing is a highly suitable method for manufacturing the removable nozzle, a.o. because of the complexity of the nozzle.
  • the applicants provide in the nozzle as many channels as possible.
  • the walls between adjacent channels are preferably very thin. If the nozzle would be manufactured using more conventional techniques, and the small channels would be drilled, these thin walls would be the most vulnerable element, because the high localized generation of heat during the drilling could raise the temperature of the material in that thin wall to above its yield point, and the wall could break down.
  • additive manufacturing there is much less local generation of heat.
  • the removable nozzle may be manufactured much more quickly and with higher precision by means of additive manufacturing, so that both the quality and the cost are more favorable.
  • the nozzle is manufactured from a material selected from metal and plastic, preferably plastic, for instance a thermoplastic plastic, more preferably a photopolymer.
  • plastic as a material for the removable nozzle offers the advantage that it is more elastic than metal, making it easier to place the nozzle into the space provided thereto in the outer head, simply using manual force, without requiring additional power, while still allowing a proper sealing to be obtained between the contact surfaces of the nozzle and the outer head.
  • plastic offers the advantage that the forces required to remove the used nozzle again from the outer head remain limited, so that also this operation may easily be carried out, usually using only manual force.
  • the filling head upstream of the nozzle, comprises an obturator for opening and closing the liquid supply.
  • This offers the advantage of a lower risk of liquid still exiting the filling head after the filling head is removed from the spray can, and thus of unwanted soiling of the spray can, the filling station and/or the conveyor belt for the spray cans.
  • the filling head comprises an obturator upstream of the nozzle
  • the filling head further comprises an outlet chamber in between the obturator and the nozzle.
  • the empty spray can is placed into a carousel, and by rotating the carousel in a step-by-step manner, that spray can will each time assume the next place in the filling station.
  • a filling head is mounted, which is lowered onto the spray can.
  • the outside of the filling head With the bottom of the outer head resting on the edge of the filling opening, is pushed upward relative to the central part of the filling head, which is moving further downwards, so that the obturator in the filling head is opened and the liquid may pass through the central part of the outer head and through the nozzle into the spray can.
  • the filling head is raised again.
  • the outside of the filling head is then pressed downward again, preferably by a spring, relative to the rest of the filling head, and the obturator in the filling head closes again.
  • the spray can is detached from the filling head, and is then once again available for being brought to its next position in the carousel.
  • the liquid flowing through the obturator in the filling head locally reaches high speeds, causing turbulence.
  • the applicants prefer to provide an outlet chamber in the filling head.
  • the liquid picks up a strong turbulence when it enters the space of the outer head downstream from the obturator. If the liquid would still flow turbulently at the moment of its release into the spray can, this would lead to uncontrolled splashing and spraying. The liquid therefore risks to partially end up where it does not belong, which would lead to a loss of liquid and to soiling of the spray can and of the filling station, which, due to the reactive nature of the liquid, is highly undesirable.
  • this nozzle In order to break the turbulence before the liquid is released into the spray can, the liquid, upon leaving the space in the outer head downstream from the obturator, is forced to flow through the nozzle. In order to obtain the desired laminar flow, this nozzle is usually characterized by a plurality of elongated and narrow channels.
  • the volume of the outlet chamber is larger with the obturator closed than with the obturator open.
  • the small channels through the nozzle have the diameter that yields the maximum total flow area through the nozzle without leading to drops of liquid leaking at the bottom of the nozzle.
  • this maximum diameter may readily be determined empirically and that it is also dependent on the properties of the liquid to be filled through the nozzle.
  • the retracted liquid column in the channel in the nozzle then forms a meniscus.
  • This meniscus as a result of the surface tension of the liquid and the adhesion forces between the liquid and the material of the nozzle, remains firmly in place, so that no liquid leaks from the nozzle.
  • the applicants have found that it is very easy to determine empirically, given the properties of the liquid and of the material of the nozzle, what is the best diameter for the small channels through the nozzle, which is provided for that specific liquid, to limit the risk of unwanted leaking yet at the same time offer the largest possible flow area so that the highest possible amount of liquid may be pushed through the nozzle in the shortest possible time, but with laminar flow.
  • the filling station In an embodiment of the filling station according to the present invention, at least two and preferably all of the filling heads for filling the polyol composition for the PU foam composition are provided with the outer head with the removable nozzle.
  • This offers the advantage that the desired technical effects of the present invention are obtained in several places in the filling station, and are preferably achieved at all of the filling heads for the polyol composition of the specific filling station.
  • the applicants usually provide three filling heads for polyol composition per filling station, so that the total amount of polyol composition required for one spray can, may be particioned over multiple filling heads, so that the filling takes place more rapidly and more spray cans may be filled per unit of time.
  • At least one of the filling heads for filling the isocyanate composition for the PU foam composition is provided with the outer head with the removable nozzle, and preferably all of the filling heads for filling the isocyanate composition are provided with the outer head having the removable nozzle.
  • the filling head comprises an obturator upstream of the nozzle and the obturator closes off the liquid supply after filling at least one liquid filling, and the obturator reopens before filling the next specimen of the at least one liquid filling.
  • the obturator closes during the removal of the filling head of the spray can after filling the at least one liquid filling and the obturator opens again during the positioning of the filling head onto the next spray can before filling the next specimen of the at least one liquid filling.
  • the filling head further comprises an outlet chamber between the obturator and the nozzle, and the volume of the outlet chamber increases when closing the obturator.
  • the nozzle in case of wear and/or narrowing and/or obstruction of openings in the nozzle, the nozzle is removed from the filling head and replaced by a clean specimen of the nozzle.
  • the clean specimen of the nozzle is a newly manufactured specimen of the nozzle.
  • the applicants have found that the costs of a new specimen of the nozzle may be kept so low that cleaning and/or repairing the used nozzle may no longer be justified, and replacement with a new specimen would be preferred.
  • the clean specimen of the nozzle is arranged in the outlet of the outer head by positioning the nozzle into the outlet of the outer head, preferably by lightly pressing it into that position.
  • the nozzle may be manufactured with suitable precision so that it may be secured by simply placing it, preferably lightly pressing it into the outlet of the outer head, and a proper sealing may thereby be achieved between the surfaces of the nozzle and of the outer head that come into contact with each other.
  • the nozzle is removed from the outer head by unscrewing the outer head from the filling head in the filling station and by subsequently pressing the nozzle up from out of the outer head in the direction opposite to the flow direction of the liquid through the nozzle.
  • This method works best when the outer head and the nozzle are provided with the constriction and the laterally flared widening described elsewhere in this document. The applicants prefer this method and arrangement because in this way, the liquid pressure during the filling helps to keep the nozzle in its place in the outer head.
  • the removable nozzle is removed after use and is not re-used for the same function.
  • the applicants have found that the advantage of reuse after cleaning and/or repair usually does not make up for the risk of problems during the filling process that may occur in the case of reuse due to a faulty nozzle.
  • two or more filling heads are provided for filling the polyol composition and at least part of the polyol composition to be filled into a same spray can is filled through the filling head provided with the outer head having the removable nozzle, and preferably the entire amount of polyol composition is filled through a filling head provided with the outer head with the removable nozzle.
  • the advantages of the present invention are achieved at the multiple filling heads, preferably three filling heads, used in a same filling station for introducing the amount of polyol composition into the spray can.
  • two or more filling heads are provided for filling the isocyanate composition, preferably three filling heads, and at least part of the filling of the isocyanate composition is filled through a filling head provided with the outer head with removable nozzle, and preferably the entire amount of isocyanate composition is filled through a filling head provided with the outer head with removable nozzle.
  • the method further comprises the step of closing the filled spray can by securing a valve with a valve collar onto the filling opening of the spray can.
  • the spray can is thereby closed so that nothing may enter the can unwantedly anymore, such as moisture from the air, with which the isocyanate groups in the spray can could react.
  • the container valve or“valve” usually consists of a valve bowl or “valve cup”, i.e., a round metal cup, which is secured or “crimped” along its perimeter onto the central filling opening of the container or spray can, usually icomplemented by means of a rubber seal, usually an O-ring, to prevent leakage of spray can contents via this crimped valve collar.
  • a valve bowl or “valve cup” i.e., a round metal cup, which is secured or “crimped” along its perimeter onto the central filling opening of the container or spray can, usually icomplemented by means of a rubber seal, usually an O-ring, to prevent leakage of spray can contents via this crimped valve collar.
  • the valve cup supports a central rubber seal, known as“grommet” or“valve rubber”, through which a hollow and usually plastic stem of a valve is inserted.
  • the stem is usually stiff and has a central duct that, just before the stem at its lower end terminates in a blind flange, transitions laterally into one or more, usually four, lateral openings.
  • the rubber gasket pulls the blind flange against the bottom of the gasket, thereby sealing the openings.
  • the valve is designed to be opened by pushing the stem down relative to the gasket or cup, whereby the gasket is usually elastically deformed and whereby at least one of the lateral openings in the stem of the valve becomes available for passing the container contents.
  • the conventional valve because the rubber of the gasket of the conventional valve, in particular when powdered carbon is used as filler in the rubber, allows the diffusion of water, which may then react with the still available isocyanate groups in het prepolymer in the container to form a tacky solid substance, the conventional valve has the disadvantage that the blind flange of the valve may over time adhere to the rubber, especially if the container is for some time in a horizontal position. This may already occur when the container is left lying on its side for a period of only 3 to 6 weeks. Due to this adherence, it may become impossible to open the can and extrude the substance.
  • valve seal also allows the diffusion of propellant gasses to outside the container, so that the container may after a while have lost part, or sometimes even all of its pressure.
  • other types of valves were developed that are not allowed to comprise a rubber gasket as described for the conventional valve.
  • Such container valves may also be referred to as "feststof" valves, and suitable variants thereof are for instance described in WO 2009/004097, US 5,014,887, WO 03/062092, or US 5215225, US 5549226 and US 6058960.
  • These valves have no rubber seal, or only a rubber seal at the outside of the valve, that does not contact the contents of the container.
  • These“feststof” valves may therefore be characterized in that the materials of the valve parts that come into contact with the contents of the spray can are virtually impermeable to water and/or propellant gasses, usually materials that are more solid than rubber (“feststof”).
  • the valves may for instance be provided with one or even more than one metal spring, being a coiled spring or a leaf spring or a combination thereof.
  • the spring or springs may be arranged and adjusted in such a way that the valve may be opened more easily than a conventional valve, and therefore offers further improved ergonomics to the user, as well as an improved capacity for aiming and dosing.
  • the springs may also lead to a quicker closure of the valve when compared to the conventional valve.
  • a valve with an internal coiled spring is for instance described in WO 2015/032963 A1 and in US 5,014,887.
  • Valves with external coiled springs may be found as part of the family of the valves MIKAVent PU- RF, available from Mikropakk. Valves with a leaf spring may be found in US 6058960, WO 03/062092 and WO 2009/004097.
  • these “feststof” valves usually also have a valve cup and a stem.
  • the valve cup of such valves may still be susceptible to deformation.
  • These valves are usually provided with at least one surface for sealing at the outside of the stem of the valve, suitable for forming a seal when contacted with a gun adapter, a dosing gun, or a handheld applicator.
  • These sealing surfaces may consist of strips for improving the sealing action, and these strips may be provided in suitable locations at the outside of the valve. Examples of such strips are described in US 5014887, US 6058960 and in WO 2009/004097.
  • containers that are ready for the market are therefore always provided with a protective cap, which is to shield the container valve, and more specifically the valve stem, against damage, tearing or contact, and against shifting relative to the valve plate, and thus for safety reasons and to protect against accidental spilling.
  • the containers for handheld use are typically provided without a gun coupling piece, i.e. with the valve fully accessible.
  • a separate protective cap that is usually snapped onto the flange around the container head.
  • Containers for professional use i.e., for use combined with, for instance, a gun, are provided with a gun coupling piece, which is typically snapped onto the flange around the valve plate. Access to the valve stem through this first coupling piece is then typically blocked by means of a separate protective cover, which may for instance snap onto the upper edge of the gun coupling piece, which may suitably be adapted for snapping the cover on, such as by providing a small collar.
  • the method further comprises the step of injecting at least one propellant gas into the spray can, preferably through the opened valve.
  • the applicants prefer this method of “filling under pressure” because it limits the possibility of the contents of the can coming into contact with a large amount of moisture from the air, and also because this method is ecologically and economically more acceptable is because less propellant gas is lost to the environment.
  • a highly suitable method for injecting propellant gas into a spray can for PU foam is described in the patent application with reference BE 2018/5924.
  • the method further comprises the step of shaking the spray can. In this way, the reaction between the polyol composition and the isocyanate composition to form a prepolymer is promoted.

  • the spray can may be suitable for use with a dosing gun, but also, with adequate selection of the tool, for handheld use, i.e. with an applicator for handheld operation, as described below.
  • the method further comprises the step of attaching an applicator for handheld operation suitable for a spray can with gun foam.
  • An applicator for handheld operation suitable for a spray can with a valve for gun foam is for instance described in WO 2012/052449 A2 and US 10106309 B2. This offers the advantage that in the production line of PU spray cans, only a single supply line needs to be provided, whereby a valve for gun foam may be arranged onto each spray can, but whereby a part of this production may be equipped for handheld use, i.e. aiming more at DIYers or the more occasional users.
