Definitions
- the present invention relates to improved thermoplastic films. More particularly, this invention relates to flexible polyamide films.
- Thermoplastic polymers that possess a range of useful properties from stiffness and strength characteristics to abrasion and chemical resistances are well known to the art.
- these thermoplastic polymers are polyamides, and the class of polyamides which are generally referred to as nylons.
- nylons are semi-crystalline in structure, although chemically or thermally modified amorphous polyamides can be produced.
- Nylons providing useful physical properties have found utility in a broad range of applications, including the formation of molded articles, cast articles, blow molded articles, oriented and non-oriented films, sheet, rods, fibers, fabrics, and other.
- Thermoplastic compositions comprising nylons have found wide use in a film form for packaging in consumer and industrial applications due to their advantageous properties including chemical resistance, toughness, strength, low gas permeability (including oxygen) , and relatively high heat stability that can readily be further improved with an addition of traditional heat stabilizers, such as metal halides.
- a master batching process comprises preparing a well mixed additive composition by extruding not-readily- miscible additives, such as plasticizers, with a relatively small amount of the major constituent of the film forming composition utilizing a high shear mixing extruder or other mixing device. Subsequently, the resulting composition, which is called a "master batch” in the art, is mixed and extruded with the rest of the composition constituents to form the final homogeneous film composition.
- nylon film compositions with the above-mentioned good physical characteristics that form homogeneous compositions without having to utilize such extra processes as master batching process.
- polyamides are generally hygroscopic, that is, they have a tendency to absorb moisture from their environment. Moisture acts as a plasticizer in polyamides, reducing most mechanical and electrical properties while changing flexibility and elongation characteristics. It is widely believed that water molecules actually replace the amide-amide hydrogen bond in polyamides with an amide-water hydrogen bond.
- the hygroscopic nature of polyamides further complicates the task of selecting appropriate plasticizers since the flexibility of polyamide film varies significantly with the humidity level of the surrounding environment. Therefore, it is further desirous to provide a plasticizer that can reduce the moisture sensitivity of polyamide film.
- lactam monomers such as caprolactam and lauryl lactam
- lactam monomers are highly volatile at elevated temperatures, they may be volatilized during the film manufacturing process in the form of fumes and may accumulate at various cold spots in the manufacturing equipment or in the manufacturing facility. Therefore, it is additionally desirous to utilize a plasticizer that is not volatile.

- a common method is to melt-knead a previously dry-blended composition further in a heated extruder provided with a single-screw, or in the alternative, a plurality of screws, extrude the uniform composition into strands, and subsequently chop the extruded strands into pellets.
- the dry-blended composition is provided to a film forming apparatus which comprises a heated extruder having at least a single screw. The heated extruder melt-blends the film composition and forms a film therefrom. This method is generally to be preferred as it provides an overall reduction of process and handling steps necessary to form a useful film combination therefrom.
- the film compositions of the present invention may be formed into films by conventional methods using conventional film forming apparati.
- Conventional methods include the production of films by blown film techniques, by extruding the film through a film forming die and optionally casting the film, calendaring, and forming a film forming composition into a billet and subsequently skiving a film from the billet.

- the films formed by any of the above methods may be of any thickness desired and includes those which have thicknesses typically less than 20 mils (500 ⁇ m) .
- the films have a thickness in the range of about 0.1 mil (2.5 ⁇ m) and about 10 mils (250 ⁇ m) ; most preferably the films have a thickness of between about l mil (25 ⁇ m) and 5 mils (125 ⁇ m) . While such thicknesses are preferred as providing a readily flexible film, it is to be understood that other film thicknesses may be produced to satisfy a particular need and yet fall within the present invention's scope.
- the flexible and conforming properties of the film of the present ' invention may be characterized as having low tensile modulus, low yield strength, high yield elongation and high ultimate elongation. Particularly, low tensile modulus indicates flexibility of the film.
- the flexible film of the present invention preferably has tensile modulus below about 85,000 psi (580 MPa) at 50% relative humidity. Most preferably, the flexible film has tensile modulus below about 75,000 psi (510 MPa) at 50% relative humidity.
- the films of the present invention provide good retention of physical properties, such as flexibility, softness and conforming characteristics, and feature low embrittlement even when subjected to high heat for an extended duration.

- the film compositions of the present invention form non-phase separating homogeneous mixtures that do not require additional mixing steps or pre-blending processes, such as master batching, due to the high compatibility of the plasticizers of the present invention with polyamides.
- the flexible, soft and relatively heat-stable films of the present invention find particular utility in the formation of parts or articles, particularly composite parts and articles.
- the formation of the article requires that a "preform" of the article, which contains one or more layers of an organic or inorganic web that is impregnated with an at least partially uncured resin, is wrapped in a film, and the wrapped preform is then subjected to elevated temperatures for a period of time, usually in excess of one hour.
- the films of the present invention provide good flexibility which readily conforms to complicated or complex preform shapes, and further feature excellent retention of physical properties subsequent to the heat ageing conditions and pressure normally associated with vacuum bagging and vacuum forming operations.
- Examples 1-4 were formed from the constituents indicated in Table 1 by first dry-blending the constituents, and then supplying them to a single-screw extruder with a 24:1 length/diameter (L/D) ratio.
- This extruder comprised 4 heating zones which were maintained at 238°C for zone 1 and 260°C for zones 2 through 4.
- the pressure in the extruder was 800 psi (5.5 MPa).
- the extruder was operated to produce approximately 30 lbs/hour (13.6 kg/hour) of the composition; the screw rotational speed was approximately 25 rpm.
- the extrudate exiting the extruder was then force in to conventional film forming die head of the "coathanger" type, which had a die gap of 30 mils (750 ⁇ m) , and a width of 14 inches (35.6 cm) .
- the die head was maintained at a temperature of 260°C; the rate of film production was maintained at approximately 35 feet/min
- a control film was formed from 100% nylon 6 of about 70 FAV, as indicated in Table 1, following the film forming procedures and specifications of Example 1.
- An analytical analysis has shown that the product is comprised of about 68% ethylene, about 25% propylene, about 7% vinyl acetate and less than 1% maleic anhydride.
- a maleic anhydride graft modified ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer comprising about 18 % vinyl acetate, about 82% ethylene and less than 1% maleic anhydride, available from * Quantum Chemical Corp.
- a film composition comprising 85 weight % nylon 6 of about 125 FAV and 15 weight % Admer SF700 modified polyolefin was further modified by the addition of copper ion, in the form of a copper iodide, potassium chloride blend, to 120 ppm level for heat-stabilization.
- the composition was extruded as in Example 1 which was then formed into films by forming a bubble of film. The bubble was then drawn in the direction of extrusion while maintaining an internal bubble pressure sufficient to keep the bubble in a substantially cylindrical shape with the wall thickness of approximately 2 mils (50 ⁇ m) .
- Example 5 The pre ⁇ heat aged and heat aged physical properties of the resulting film (Example 5) were compared with the properties of a nylon 6 film containing a relatively high level of caprolactam monomer that is commercially available to the vacuum bagging industry (Comparative Example Cl) .
- Comparative Example Cl contains about 5 ⁇ aprolactam, compared to only about 0.6% of Example 5.
- he pre-heat aged films were conditioned in a 50% relative humidity chamber at room temperature for at least 24 hours, and the heat aged films were prepared and conditioned by placing the films in an air circulating oven maintained at a temperature of 350°F (177°C) and a relative humidity of 50% for 4 hours.
- the physical properties were evaluated in accordance with the ASTM D882-83 test protocols. The results are shown in Table 3.
- Example 5 and Comparative Example Cl pre-heat aged specimens of Example 5 and Comparative Example Cl were tested for their physical characteristics at different humidity environments.
- a number of samples were placed in a desiccator, in a 50% relative humidity chamber and in a water bath for at least 24 hours at room temperature to obtain 0%, 50% and 100% relative humidity samples, respectively.
- the samples were tested in accordance with the ASTM D882-83 test protocols. The results are shown in Table 4.
- the film produced from the composition of the present invention provides measurably decreased tensile modulus at all humidity levels, indicating " improved flexibility over the film of the prior art.
- the ultimate elongation and ultimate strength properties of the film of the present invention are not as sensitive to humidity as the films of the prior art, indicating that, unlike the films of the prior art, the films of the present invention provide much more consistent and predictable properties of flexibility and softness at all varying levels of humidity.
- the films and the film compositions of the present invention provide improved flexible, soft films that have relatively high heat stability and low moisture sensitivity.
- the film compositions of the present invention do not contain any significantly volatile constituents and can easily be processed to form uniform films due to their non- separating homogeneous blending characteristic.
