Definitions

• the invention relates to a sizing composition for glass strands that can be used to form granules with a high glass content. These granules are intended more particularly to manufacture molded parts made of thermoplastic material reinforced with glass threads known under the name
• TPA (abbreviation of "reinforced thermoplastic”).
• Such parts can be manufactured in different ways, in particular by the technique of "injection molding".
• the injection molding of TPA parts is carried out in an installation comprising an injection press associated with a mold.
• the injection press comprises an assembly formed of a heated sheath and an injection screw, generally of "single-screw" type, surmounted by a feed hopper made of thermoplastic material and glass threads.
• thermoplastic material and the glass threads are introduced separately into the hopper and then mixed into the sleeve-screw assembly where the thermoplastic material is melted and plasticized (i.e. transformed into a viscous injectable material) and the same time the glass son are impregnated with the thermoplastic material and dispersed therein.
• thermoplastic-glass mixture is then injected into the mold.
• the injection takes place in three phases:
• filling the mixture pushed by the injection screw serving as a piston fills the cavity of the mold. If necessary, a pressure can be applied on the mold at the end of filling,
• the polymer is frozen and the TPA piece is ejected when its rigidity is sufficient.
• the aforementioned molding technique does not allow the use of conventional cut glass yarns directly in the hopper; the yarns intermingle and form entanglements that quickly block the flow of granulated thermoplastic material and threads to the injection screw. To ensure a proper implementation, the glass son are therefore converted into granules.
• Granules are known in which the glass threads of variable length are associated with thermoplastic material.
• the "short" wire granules are formed from thermoplastic material and cut glass son in an extruder equipped with a "twin-screw” type screw, and cutting of the rod formed into granules of the desired length.
• the high shear induced by this type of extrusion screw makes it possible to separate the glass filaments and consequently to sufficiently impregnate them with the thermoplastic material and to disperse them correctly therein. Nevertheless, the level of reinforcement is not very high because of the short length of the glass strands.
• the "long" glass fiber granules are obtained by passing one or more continuous glass strands, for example in the form of a roving, in a die fed with the molten thermoplastic material and then cutting the cooled glass wire to the required length.
• This type of granulate known as
• the invention is particularly interested in the latter type of granules with a high glass content.
• the glass strands that make up these granules consist of a multitude of individual filaments (of the order of 1,000 to 100,000 filaments per basic thread), of 5 to 24 ⁇ m in diameter, for example from 10 ⁇ m to 17 ⁇ m. ⁇ m and length generally not exceeding 30 mm.
• the glass filaments are coated with a sizing: in addition to the protection against abrasion that it brings to the filaments during the elaboration of the son, it is important that the size also confers additional properties specific to the intended application.
• the size must be able to bind the filaments together to give a wire capable of being cut into elements of identical length with a quantity of "fines", that is to say of smaller particles, which is the weakest possible.
• the sizing must also provide the glass fiber granules with the capacity to withstand the major mechanical stresses resulting from the friction of the wires with each other and against the walls of the transport pipes which cause a bursting of the threads and the release of the filaments of glass that constitute them (we speak of "filamentisation”). The filaments then form "flock” which obstructs the pipes.
• the sizing must further contribute to bond the glass strands during granulation to form high density granules which can flow easily into the metering device and into the feed hopper of the injection screw. Indeed, most metering devices are gravimetric metering based on a constant flow that operate by opening traps releasing granules, the opening time being calculated and adjusted as and when metered dosages. It is therefore important that the granule shape factor defined by the ratio of the length to the diameter remains constant, that the glass threads remain sufficiently cohesive and that they can not be released and become entangled forming "bridges" which disturb or block the flow of materials to the injection screw.
