- Said oxygen-scavenging copolymer preferably includes oxygen-scavenging segments.
- Said oxygen-scavenging copolymer is suitably adapted to be compatible with packaging resins (eg of polyester) so that it can be mixed with standard packaging resins, thus minimizing cost. It is common practice to use copolymers, more specifically copolycondensates, as packaging and bottling materials. For example, even common polyethylene terephthalate (PET) used in bottles for soft drinks often comprises isophthalic linkages in the polymer and thus could be called a copolymer.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- oxygen scavenging copolymer will be used to designate those polymers which have oxygen scavenging moiety (OSM) segments, and unmodified PET is defined as a homopolymer or copolymer that is devoid of OSM segments.
- OSM oxygen scavenging moiety
- Said oxygen-scavenging copolymer preferably includes polycondensate segments (and preferably said copolymer predominantly comprises polycondensate segments) and OSM segments (and preferably said copolymer includes a lesser wt% of OSM segments compared to the wt% of polycondensate segments).
- the OSM segments need be present only in an amount necessary to impart the degree of oxygen scavenging capacity needed for a particular application.
- Said OSM segments are preferably comprised of polyolefin oligomer segments which have been incorporated into the oxygen-scavenging copolymer.
- other oxygen-scavenging moiety segments such as polypropylene oxide oligomers, methyl pendant aromatic compounds or others that one skilled in the art may readily determine, may be included in the oxygen-scavenging copolymer.
- Said oxygen-scavenging copolymer preferably includes at least 80 wt% of polyester segments (e.g. polyethylene terephthalate segments) based on the weight of said oxygen-scavenging copolymer.
- the formulation of the first aspect may be mixed with unmodified polyester (e.g. PET) to producing a packaging article. Since the oxygen-scavenging copolymer comprises mainly polyester segments, such as PET segments, the properties of the oxygen-scavenging copolymer formed may remain very similar to that of the unmodified polyester (e.g. PET) which is used to form the packaging article.
- the preferred oxygen-scavenging copolymer remains an integral part of the packaging article due to the compatibility of the oxygen-scavenging copolymer with polyester (eg PET).
- the oxygenscavenging copolymer may undergo transesterification with the unmodified PET during the packaging fabrication process. This creates a package in which the oxygen scavenging copolymer and the unmodified PET cannot be physically separated.
- packaging incorporating the two materials can readily be recycled with the general recycle stream.
- Said oxygen-scavenging copolymer may include 0.5 to 20 wt%, preferably 2 to 15 wt%, more preferably 5 to 10 wt% of OSM segments, based on the weight of the copolymer.
- the OSM segments of the oxygen-scavenging copolymer may be produced by reaction of an OSM segments precursor with a polyester.
- the OSM segments precursor may be at least singly functionally terminated with a group capable of entering into polycondensation polymerization and/or capable of reaction with previously formed polyester moieties to form new covalent bonds.
- the OSM segments precursor can react with polymer end groups to provide a copolymer structure.
- a functionally terminated OSM segments precursor may be represented by Formula 1 .
- Double functionality is shown in Formula 1 as one possibility, but the OSM segments precursor may be singly functionally terminated or functionalized to a degree greater than two. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the commercial availability of functionally terminated OSM segments precursors will obviate the need to add such functionalization.
- the OSM segments precursors of Formula 1 are suitably selected to be readily oxidizable at ambient temperature, such that its auto-oxidation does not result in the generation of significant volatile or extractable by-products.
- Preferred OSM segment precursors include polyolefin oligomers of molecular weight 100 to 10,000, polypropylene oxide oligomers, or methyl pendant aromatic compounds as defined in US 6346308.
- Said OSM segments precursor may include a polybutadiene moiety.
- a polybutadiene moiety when incorporated as segments in a said oxygen-scavenging copolymer, may advantageously provide suitable oxygen scavenging.
- X and Y are typically the same and may be any species capable of entering into polycondensation and/or transesterification, for example with a polyester.
- a non-limiting list of possible species represented by X or Y includes OH, COOH, NH2, epoxides, and substituted derivatives thereof capable of entering into step-growth, condensation and/or transesterification reactions, for example with a polyester.
- said oxygen-scavenging copolymer includes OSM segments derived from a polyolefin oligomer and/or which includes a polyolefin oligomeric chain.
- said oxygen-scavenging copolymer includes OSM segments derived from a polybutadiene oligomer and/or which includes a polybutadiene oligomeric chain.
- the aforementioned OSM segments are suitably covalently bonded to polyester, for example PET segments, of the oxygen-scavenging copolymer.
- Said oxygen-scavenging copolymer may include moieties derived from a chain extending or cross-linking agent.
- Said copolymer may include 0.1 to 3 wt%, for example 0.6 to 1.3 wt%, of such moieties based on the weight of the oxygen-scavenging copolymer.
- a preferred chain extending agent or cross-linking agent is pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA).
- the inclusion of chain extending or cross-linking agents preferably serves to prevent molecular weight degradation, thus increasing polymer melt viscosity, and maintaining the glass transition temperature of the oxygen-scavenging copolymer.
- oxygen-scavenging copolymer may exist as a solid below the glass transition temperature and can be formed into films and other packaging articles which retain their shape and mechanical integrity at near ambient temperatures (i.e. about -20 to 60°C).
- the oxygen-scavenging copolymers described are suitably able to scavenge oxygen at temperatures both above and below their glass transition temperature.
- Oxygen-scavenging copolymers as described may be prepared by known batch or continuous processes. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the terminal functionality of the OSM segments precursor need not be identical to the functionality of the replaced monomer so long as reactive incorporation proceeds. For example, in the production of PET, terephthalic acid is copolymerized with ethylene glycol. In such instance, substitution of the desired molar equivalent amount of the dihydroxy terminated species of Formula 1 (i.e. substitution for an equivalent molar amount of ethylene glycol) in the polycondensation reaction would result in a modified polyester having some OSM segments in the copolymer at the expense of fewer ethylene segments.
- Applicants' preferred method for preparation of the oxygen scavenging copolymers is by reactive extrusion since it allows for greater flexibility at later stages in the overall scheme of production of oxygen scavenging bottles and packaging articles.
- Preparation of the copolymers by reactive extrusion is disclosed in detail in US 6,083,585 which is hereby incorporated by reference.

- Standards of known activity and blank controls are assessed alongside test samples to verify the test method set-up. Note: If O2 depletion is observed in blank virgin PET bottles over a test period (eg over 14 days of testing) there could be algae/microorganisms in the water and sample testing will have to be repeated. This may occur if insufficient biocide is added.
- the method may then comprise the following steps:
- a bucket is filled with tap water and biocide (polyhexamethylene biguanide PHMB) ( ⁇ 1 ml biocide in 5 litres water) and covered with a lid. The water is left for about 24 hours in a temperature controlled room for temperature and dissolved oxygen content to equilibrate.
- biocide polyhexamethylene biguanide PHMB
- Bottles are stored in a temperature controlled room and measurements are taken every 2-3 days for 14 days.
- oxygen scavenging additives incorporated into bottle walls can be assessed by filling the bottles with deoxygenated water and monitoring the dissolved oxygen content of the water as it increases (ingress through bottle wall) over time.
- measurements may be taken at regular intervals every few days up to 14 days and every few weeks thereafter.
- the frequency of measurements is dependent on the expected shelf life extension the additive can impart.
- the test is complete when the dissolved oxygen reaches a level of 3 ppm.
- the method may then comprise the following steps:
- a glove box set-up is required that contains a tank/container for water, a nitrogen supply and a vacuum system. There should be a nitrogen supply to the tanks to bubble through the water.
- the glove box should also contain weighing scales, bottle lids, torque meter and a dissolved oxygen sensor (probe inserted into water tank).
- Stretch-blow moulded bottles, incorporating any oxygen scavenging additives, are made on the same day or day before putting on test.
- An appropriate oxygen measurement sensor (such as an OpTech Platinum sensor dot) is attached into the inside of the bottle samples using tweezers or other such tool.
- the bottles are stored in sealed aluminium bags purged with N2 before use.
- the tank/container in the glove box is filled with tap water and biocide fpolyhexamethylene biguanide PHMB) ( ⁇ 1 ml biocide in 5 litres water).
- Nitrogen is bubbled through the water up to the maximum safe pressure, followed by a vacuum up to the lowest maximum safe pressure. This process is repeated multiple times until the oxygen sensor inserted in the water tank reads a dissolved oxygen content below 300 ppb.
- EPBP European PET Bottle Platform
- a preform, the recyclability of which is to be assessed, is ground and the ground sample (referred to as “additive flake” since it generally includes oxygen scavenging additive) crystallised at 155°C for 60 minutes in a convection oven.
- the virgin flake is placed in a desiccant oven dryer for at least 4 hours and until the moisture of the sample is below 50ppm.
- the blended pellets are crystallised at 155°C for 60 minutes in a convection oven.
- the pellets are placed in a desiccant oven dryer for at least 4 hours and until the moisture of the sample is below 50ppm.
- 25g, 38mm neck diameter preforms were manufactured in a Husky GL160 injection moulder, with a two cavity mould installed.
- PET-X which had been pre-dried to less than 50ppm moisture was premixed manually with components to be tested and manually added into a hopper installed above the feed throat of the injection moulder machine.
- a standard PET injection moulding process was employed to produce preforms.
- Preforms made as described in Example 1 were stretch blow moulded using a Sidel SB01 blow moulding machine into a 1 litre cylindrical bottle. A standard blowing process was utilised. The overall power % of the heating ovens was adjusted to achieve a preform temperature of 115°- 120°C as the preform exits the oven and before it enters the blow mould. This is referred to as the blowing temperature.
- preforms were made having the following compositions (which were prepared by tumble blending the specified components):
- the preforms were made into bottles as described in Example 2.
- Example 7 Assessment of bottles of Examples 3 to 6.
- Example 3 bottle without any oxygen scavenger shows a substantially linear increase in dissolved oxygen and may be regarded as a benchmark against which to assess the other examples.
- Example 4 bottle shows significant scavenging compared to the Example 3 bottle as would be expected due to incorporation of the commercially available oxygen scavenger.
- Example 5 bottle shows a significant improvement in oxygen scavenging compared to the Example 4 bottle.
- Example 6 bottle including a higher level of olive oil compared to the Example 5 bottle, provides exceptional oxygen scavenging performance with surprisingly little dissolved oxygen being observed for the first 180 days and a low level of dissolved oxygen thereafter.
- Example 5 and Example 6 bottles may be exploited in a number of ways.
- a lower amount of relatively costly AMOSORB 4020G may be used in a bottle in favour of cheaper olive oil and a similar level of oxygen scavenging may be achieved as illustrated in Examples 8 to 10.
- the olive oil may be used to provide increased levels of oxygen scavenging (and therefore improved shelf life) compared to bottles which include the same amount of AMOSORB 4020G.
- the preforms were made into bottles as described in Example 2.
- Example 11 Assessment of bottles of Examples 8 to 10.
- the preforms were made into bottles as described in Example 2.
- Example 16 Assessment of bottles of Examples 12 to 15
- the preforms were made into bottles as described in Example 2.
- Example 20 Assessment of bottles of Examples 17 to 19 The bottles were assessed as described in Assessment 2 and results are provided in Figure 4 which shows:
- Example 17 bottle without any oxygen scavenger may be regarded as a benchmark.
- Example 18 bottle shows significant scavenging compared to Example 17 since it incorporates commercially available oxygen scavenger.
- Example 19 bottle shows a significant improvement in oxygen scavenging compared to the Example 18 bottle.
- plaques were produced as described in (vii) of Assessment 3 from preforms (the recyclability of which is to be assessed) having the compositions detailed in the table below with 75 wt% PET-X.
- plaques produced from Examples 21 and 22 will be referred to as Examples 21 (plaque) and 22 (plaque) to distinguish bottle flakes per se.
- the plaques were assessed for oxygen scavenging ability and recyclability. It was found that Examples 21 and 22 formulations had comparable oxygen scavenging ability.
- Example 21 (plaque) and Example 22 (plaque) as described in Assessment 3, are illustrated in Figure 5.
- the delta b* for Example 21 (plaque) fails the EPBP test and therefore the flakes of Example 21 would not be suitable to be recycled with virgin PET.
- the flakes of Example 22 pass all the EPBP tests and are therefore suitable to be recycled with virgin PET.
- Example 35 Assessment of bottles of Examples 28 to 35
- Example 28 bottle with oxygen scavenger alone may be regarded as a benchmark.
- Example 29 bottle containing monoolein in addition to the oxygen scavenger of Example 28, shows increased oxygen scavenging compared to Example 28.
- Example 30 bottle containing triolein in addition to the oxygen scavenger of Example 28, shows a large increased oxygen scavenging compared to Example 28.
- Example 33 bottle with oxygen scavenger alone may be regarded as a benchmark.
- Example 34 bottle containing monoolein in addition to the oxygen scavenger of Example 33, shows increased oxygen scavenging compared to Example 33.
- Example 35 bottle containing triolein in addition to the oxygen scavenger of Example 33 shows a large increased oxygen scavenging compared to Example 33.
- Figure 8 shows a similar improvement to oxygen scavenging as described for Figure 7 and in addition shows improved scavenging when the amount of monoolein or triolein is increased from 0.3wt% to 0.6 wt% (compare Example 31 with Example 29; and Example 32 with Example 30).
