Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for producing expanded foam particles from one or more polyesters based on aliphatic or aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic diols, comprising the steps;
- (C) discharging the granules from the granulating chamber in a 5 to 90 ° C warm water flow whose pressure is 0.1 bar to 20 bar above the ambient pressure.
- WO 2015/052020 discloses a process for producing expanded foam particles from a biodegradable polyester based on aliphatic or aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic dioxides. This so-called autoclave process places high demands on the apparatus technology and compliance with the process parameters.
- An object of the present invention was to find a simple and processable process, such as the initially mentioned extrusion process, which produces as it were expanded foam particles with low bulk densities of preferably less than 150 g / l.
- the use of an extrusion process for the production of expanded granules enables a continuous production and thus a rapid processing of different degrees of hardness and the rapid change of other properties, such as the color of the produced expanded particles.
- the object of the present invention was to find an extrusion process for the production of expanded foam particles which does not have the abovementioned disadvantages.
- the inventive method solves the problem, in particular by the significant reduction in the temperature in the extruder and the perforated plate below or equal to 185 ° C and preferably below 180 ° C.
- a preferred process comprises the following steps: (a) melting the polyester and adding the polyester at from 1 to 3.5% by weight, based on the polyester, of a blowing agent mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen in a ratio of 10: 1 to 2: 1 and 0.1 to 2 wt .-% of a nucleating agent and pressing the propellant-containing and nucleated polyester melt by tempered to a temperature between 150 ° C and 185 ° C perforated plate in a granulating chamber,
- (C) discharging the granules from the granulating chamber in a 5 to 90 ° C warm water stream whose pressure is 4 bar to 20 bar and particularly preferably 10 to 15 bar above the ambient pressure.
- Another preferred method comprises the following steps:
- blowing agent used depends on the thermoplastic elastomer used and the composition of the blowing agent, but is always in the range between 1 and 3.5 wt .-%.
- step (a) of the process a polymer melt mixed with a blowing agent and optionally further additives is forced through the perforated plate.
- the preparation of the blowing agent and optionally other additives containing polymer melt is generally carried out with the aid of an extruder and / or a melt pump. These apparatuses are also used to generate the necessary pressure with which the polymer melt is forced through the perforated plate.
- an extruder for example a twin-screw extruder
- the polymer is first plasticized and optionally mixed with auxiliaries. During mixing, the material contained in the extruder is transported in the direction of the tempered perforated plate.
- the blowing agent has not already been introduced into the extruder with the polymer at the beginning, this can be added to the material after passing through a section in the extruder.
- the blowing agent and the polymer are mixed while passing through the remaining extruder section.
- the melt is brought to the temperature required for the subsequent granulation of 150 to 185 ° C and preferably 160 to 180 ° C.
- the pressure required for pressing the melt through the perforated plate can be applied, for example, with a melt pump. Alternatively, the required pressure is generated by the corresponding geometry of the extruder and in particular the extruder screw. Due to the tempered perforated plate, the polymer melt enters the granulation chamber.
- the granulation chamber flows a tempered liquid whose pressure is 0.1 bar to 20 bar above the ambient pressure.
- the water pressure in the granulating chamber is preferably 4 to 20 bar and particularly preferably 5 to 15 bar above the ambient pressure.
- this procedure provides expanded foam particles with ideal spherical or slightly elliptical shape and a homogeneous density distribution over the entire foam particles.
- carbon dioxide as To use propellant, in such a procedure, the water pressure is preferably 0.5 to 5 bar.
- the polymer pressed by the tempered perforated plate is formed into strands, which are comminuted with a cutting device into individual expanding granules.
- the cutting device can be designed for example as a fast rotating knife.
- the shape of the resulting granules depends, on the one hand, on the shape and size of the openings in the perforated plate, and on the other hand, the shape is dependent on the pressure with which the melt is forced through the holes of the perforated plate and the speed of the cutting device.
- the press-in pressure, the speed of the cutter and the size of the openings in the perforated plate are selected so that the shape of the granules is substantially spherical or elliptical.
- the granules are discharged from the granulation chamber by means of the tempered water flowing through the granulation chamber.
- the water pressure and the water temperature are chosen so that the polymer strands / granules are controlled by the propellant contained expanded and a closed and uniform skin is produced on the surface of the granules.
- the granulate flows into a dryer, where it is separated from the water.
- the finished expanded granules are collected in a container while the water is filtered and passed through a pressure pump back into the granulation chamber.
- the underwater granulation is as mentioned above usually at 5 to 90 ° C and preferably 30 to 80 ° C and a pressure of 0.1 to 20 bar above the ambient pressure.
- the preferred embodiments described above have proved to be advantageous.
- the controlled water temperature and the specific water pressure prevent the propellant-containing polymer melt from expanding uncontrollably without the formation of a closed skin. Although such particles would initially have a low bulk density, but quickly collapse. The result would be inhomogeneous particles of high bulk density and low elasticity.
- the expansion of the granules is controlled slowed down, so that structured grains arise, which have a closed skin and have a cellular structure in its interior, the cell size at the surface is low and increases towards the center.
- the size of the cells in the center is preferably less than 450 pm.
- the bulk density of the expanded granules is preferably at most 250 g / l and more preferably at a maximum of 150 g / l.
- the maximum extent of the individual expanded granules is preferably in the range of 2 to 15 mm, in particular in the range of 5 to 12 mm, wherein the mass of a single granule between 2 and 40 mg, in particular between 5 and 35 mg.
- the expansion of the granules is controlled by adjusting the pressure and temperature of the water in the granulation chamber, as well as by adjusting the temperature of the perforated plate.
- the water pressure in the granulating chamber is increased and / or the water temperature in the granulating chamber is lowered.
- the increased pressure of the temperate water surrounding the granules counteracts the expansion effect of the propellant and slows the expansion of the granules.
- the reduction of the water temperature in the granulation chamber causes a thicker skin of the particles and thus provides the expansion more resistance.
- expansion of the granules can be hindered or even completely prevented so that granules with excessive bulk density are formed.
- the water pressure in the granulation chamber is lowered and / or the water temperature is raised.
- the expansion of the Granulatgromer can be influenced in particular on the temperature of the perforated plate.
- the polymer melt cools too quickly and solidifies before sufficient expansion can commence.
- the expansion of the granule by the containing propellant is so difficult that granules with too high a bulk density is formed. Therefore, the water temperature in the granulation chamber and / or the temperature of the tempered orifice plate are increased in such a case.
- the water emperature in the Granuiierhunt according to the invention is between 5 ° C and 90 ° C, and preferably at 30 to 80 ° C.
- the temperature of the temperature-controlled perforated plate according to the invention is between 150 ° C and 185 ° C, preferably a temperature of the perforated plate between 160 ° C and see 180 ° C.
- Too high a plate temperature leads to a thin skin on the surface of the particles and a later collapse of the surface. Too low plate temperatures reduce the degree of expansion and result in thick, unfoamed particle surfaces.
- a further preferred method is without the intermediate isolation of the aliphatic or aliphatic-aromatic polyester.
- foam particles of expanded thermoplastic elastomer are produced, reactive extrusion in the first step is described in WO 2015/055811.
- the polyester which has been prepared batchwise, semicontinuously or continuously in a first stage (x), introduced directly as a melt via a heated pipe in the step (a). This can save energy and also costs for the granulation and the subsequent melting of the polyester.
- this alternative method is as follows:
- the polymer processing machine is designed differently.
- reaction vessels or a boiler cascade are suitable.
- stage (x) In the continuous process, in particular a reaction structure as described in WO 2009/127556 is preferred for stage (x).
- this mixture is continuously esterified or transesterified together with the total amount or a partial amount of the catalyst;
- the transesterification or esterification product obtained according to 1. - preferably in a tower reactor, the product stream being passed in cocurrent over a falling film cascade is and the reaction vapors are removed in situ from the reaction mixture - precondensed to a viscosity number according to DIN 53728 from 20 to 60 mL / g;
- the product obtainable from 2. preferably in a cage reactor, is subjected to polycondensation up to a viscosity number according to DIN 53728 of 70 to 130 ml / g and polycondensed
- the product obtainable from 3.) is continuously converted to a viscosity number according to DIN 53728 of 160 to 250 mUg in a polyaddition reaction with a chain extender in an extruder, lump reactor or static mixer.
- a viscosity number according to DIN 53728 of 160 to 250 mUg
- a chain extender in an extruder, lump reactor or static mixer.
- aliphatic-aromatic or aliphatic polyesters having low acid numbers measured according to DIN EN 12634 of less than 1, 0 mg KOH / g and a MVR according to ISO 1133 of 0.5 to 10 cm 3 / 10 min, preferably 0.5 to 6 cm 3/10 min accessible (190 ° C, 2.16 kg weight), which are ideal for directly introducing a melt into the inventive stage (a) are suitable. Further purification or reprocessing of the polyesters is not necessary.
- the method described in WO 2009/127556 is also therefore very well suited as precursor (x), because the preferred melt volume rate (MVR) according to ISO 1133 of 0.5 to 10 cm 3/10 min (190 ° C, 2 , 16 kg) can be set very easily by adding a chain extender.
- the chain extender used here is preferably hexamethylene diisocyanate.
- the chain extender can be used not only as in WO
- step (x) 2009/127556 in step (x), but may be added in step (a) before addition or simultaneously with the addition of the propellant and nucleating agent.
- the step (a) is preferably carried out in an extruder such as a twin-screw extruder, List reactor or static mixer.
- an extruder such as a twin-screw extruder, List reactor or static mixer.
- the blowing agent, the nucleating agent and optionally the chain extender can be homogeneously dispersed in the polyester melt.
- the first stage (x) of the polymer processing machine is followed by a melt channel with the physical blowing agent addition site and nucleating agent as step (a).
- the step (a) additionally includes one
- the melt channel is for example a heatable tube through which the polymer melt flows and into which the physical
- Propellant and the nucleating agent can be introduced.
- an injection valve can likewise be provided and a gas metering unit can be used for propellant metering.
- the melt pump is used to build up the pressure required to squeeze the polymer melt through the static mixer and granulation tool after adding the physical blowing agent.
- the melt pump may be located either between the melt channel and the static mixer or alternatively between the first stage and the melt channel. If the melt pump is positioned between the melt channel and the static mixer, it is necessary to design the first stage (x) so that in the first stage (x) in the reaction of the monomers and / or oligomers to the polymer pressure is built up and further that the pressure is sufficient, the polymer melt also through the melt channel promote. For this purpose, it is further necessary to connect the melt channel either directly or via a pipeline to the first stage (x).
- Biodegradable polyesters based on aliphatic or aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic dihydroxy compounds suitable for the process according to the invention for producing expanded granules are described below.
- the latter are also known as partially aromatic polyesters.
