Definitions
- the invention relates to thermoplastic compositions containing mixtures of polyoxymethylene homo- or copolymers, their preparation, their use for the production of metallic or ceramic moldings and the moldings obtainable in this way.
- Polyoxymethylene homopolymers or copolymers also referred to as polyacetal or polyformaldehyde or POM, are generally high molecular weight thermoplastics which exhibit high stiffness, low coefficients of friction and excellent dimensional stability and thermal stability. Therefore, they are used in particular for the production of precision parts.
- the high strength, hardness and stiffness in a wider temperature range make them advantageous for molding applications.
- the further processing takes place, for example, by injection molding at temperatures in the range of 180 to 230 ° C, as well as by extrusion.
- the preparation of polyoxymethylene is carried out, for example, by direct polymerization of formaldehyde or by cationic or transition metal-centered cationic polymerization of trioxane.
- the end groups are often protected by etherification or esterification.
- copolymers for example by copolymerization of trioxane with 1, 4-dioxane.
- the unstable end groups are degraded by hydrolysis to formaldehyde for stabilization.
- Typical copolymers ® for example, under the brand names Hostaform ® from Ticona / Celanese and Ultra form available from BASF SE.
- the homopolymer typically has a melting point of about 178 ° C, the copolymer of about 166 ° C.
- US 6,388,049 relates to low molecular weight polyoxymethylene polymers and compositions containing them.
- Preparation Examples 14 to 16 give trioxane-based and butanediol-formal copolymers in which methylal was used as regulator.
- the amount of comonomer added is 1.46 mol%, corresponding to about 4.4% by weight of butanediol formal. Number average molecular weights of 1100, 5500 and 35000 g / mol are obtained.
- Polyoxymethylene is also used as a binder for powder injection molding.
- POM molding compounds are processed by injection molding into moldings and subsequently debinded and sintered. Since the high loading of the POM with the inorganic powders impairs the flowability, it is necessary to use well-flowing POM materials in order to keep the pressures required during the injection molding to a reasonable level.
- the inorganic material powder particularly metal powders or ceramic powders contain. These powders are typically first coated with a thin layer of polyethylene and then compounded in a polyoxymethylene binder. This Catamold granulate is then processed by injection molding into a green body, transferred by debinding in a brown body and then sintered to a sintered shaped body. The process is known as Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and allows the production of metal or ceramic moldings with complex shapes.
- MIM Metal Injection Molding
- the Catamold granules have a content of inorganic fillers of about 90 wt .-%.
- the green bodies produced using polyoxymethylene homo- or copolymers have very good mechanical properties, in particular dimensional stability.
- the debinding is often carried out by the action of an acidic atmosphere, for example HN0 3 atmosphere at 1 10 to 140 ° C with degradation of the POM binder.
- an acidic atmosphere for example HN0 3 atmosphere at 1 10 to 140 ° C with degradation of the POM binder.
- the inorganic particles are connected to one another via their thin polyethylene coating. Due to the acidic depolymerization of the POM, the binder can be removed without residue.
- the sintering of the brown body preferably follows in a sintering furnace at temperatures in the range of about 1300 to 1500 ° C to obtain the desired metal or ceramic shaped body.
- suitable thermoplastic compositions for the production of metallic moldings are described for example in EP-A-0 446 708.
- Thermoplastic materials for the production of ceramic molded articles are described, for example, in EP-A-0 444 475.
- Metal-oxide-containing molding compositions are described, for example, in EP-A-0 853 995.
- a flow improver should have a very good miscibility with POM and show a rapid degradation under an acid-gas atmosphere in order to avoid defects in the desired moldings.
- the object of the present invention is to provide thermoplastic compositions based on polyoxymethylene homopolymers or copolymers having improved flowability, which exhibit a better flow behavior when filled with inorganic material powders in extrusion or injection molding than known molding compositions, and which at the same time are the good ones retained mechanical properties of the known molding compositions based on Polyoxymethylenhomo- or copolymers.
- the object is achieved by a thermoplastic composition containing
- thermoplastic compositions by separate preparation of the components B1 and B2 by each polymerization of trioxane and optionally comonomers in the presence of at least one cationic initiator and at least one di (Ci -6- alkyl) acetal as Controller and subsequent mixing of components B1 and B2.
- the object is further achieved by a process for the preparation of flowable polyoxymethylene homopolymers or copolymers by separately preparing the components B1 and B2, as defined above, by respectively polymerizing trioxane and (in component B1 optionally) comonomers in the presence of at least one cationic Starters and at least one di (Ci -6- alkyl) acetal as a regulator and subsequent mixing of components B1 and B2 at a temperature in the range of 150 to 220 ° C under a pressure in the range of 0.5 to 5 bar.
- the object is also achieved by flowable polyoxymethylene copolymers obtainable by the above process.
- the object is further achieved by a molding composition for the production of inorganic shaped bodies, containing, based on the total volume of the molding composition,
- a sinterable pulverulent inorganic material selected from metals, metal alloys, metal carbonyls, metal oxides, metal carbides, metal nitrides or mixtures thereof, as component A,
- component B - 30 to 80 vol .-% of a thermoplastic composition as defined above or obtainable by the above method, as component B, - 0 to 5 vol .-% of a lubricating and / or dispersing aid as component C, wherein the total volume of the components A to C 100% by volume.
- the object is also achieved by a method for producing such molding compositions by melting the component B at a temperature in the range of 150 to 220 ° C to obtain a melt stream and metered addition of the components A and optionally C to the melt stream of the component B.
- the object is further achieved by the use of the above molding compositions for the production of metallic or ceramic moldings.
- the object is further achieved by a process for the production of metallic or ceramic moldings by injection molding or extrusion of the molding composition into a green body, subsequent debindering of the green body to obtain a brown body and subsequent sintering of the brown body.

- the circles show the molecular weight distribution for a mixing time of 5 minutes.
- the molecular weight distribution remains the same at the three mixing times, which indicates a stability of the polymer blend. Furthermore, the bimodal molecular weight distribution resulting from the blend polymers is retained. It does not come to a molecular weight balance by transacetalization. As a result, it can be stated that in the case of the POM blends, the bimodal molecular weight distribution is retained even after thermal stress, and the shear viscosity decreases greatly, so that the processing properties improve markedly. Due to the improved flowability, especially in injection molding, long flow paths and thin wall thicknesses can be tolerated without the result deteriorating.
- the molding compositions are not brittle, but still have a high strength.
- the POM blends are suitable in an advantageous manner for the metal or ceramic powder-injection molding after the Catamold ® process.
- the POM molding materials are subjected to a threefold melting and shearing: when mixing the two polymer components, when the metal or ceramic powder is introduced, and finally during injection molding.
- a recycling and reuse of parts of the injection-molded body, such as the sprues there is a further thermal stress.
- the spirals in Figure 2 from left to right in the first row 100% POM from Example 3 (spiral length> 100 cm); 90% POM from example 3 + 10% Z2320-003 (spiral length about 70 cm); 80% POM from example 3 + 20% Z2320-003 (spiral length about 62 cm).
- the middle row shows from left to right 70% POM from example 3 + 30% Z2320- 003 (spiral length about 48 cm); 60% POM from example 3 + 40% Z2320-003 (spiral length about 42 cm); 50% POM from example 3 + 50% Z2320-003 (spiral length 34 cm).
- the last row shows from left to right exclusively Z2320-003 (spiral length about 19 cm); Z2320-003 + usual flow improver (spiral length 24 cm).
- the use of the low molecular weight POM allows the production of metal binders with very good flow behavior (high flow). In addition, it also allows the use of higher concentrations of metal powder. Different metal powder binder systems have been prepared and investigated. Table 5 shows the results obtained.
- the high molecular weight POM component B1 was again Z 2320-003 (100 or 60, 50, 40 wt .-%, based on the POM binder).
- PolyBUFO polybutanediol formal with a weight average molecular weight (M w ) of 18,000 to 35,000; Content based on the total POM binder.
