Abstract

A process for the solid state upgrading of a polyester resin by polyaddition reaction in which the resin is upgraded in the presence of an upgrading additive which is a compound different from a dianhydride of an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid, containing two groups capable of addition reactions with the terminal groups of the polyester, selected for example in the group of the dianhydrides of aliphatic and cycloaliphatic tetracarboxylic acids.

Description

Process for the production of high molecular weight polyester resins
The present invention relates to a process for the produc¬ tion of high molecular weight polyester resins from resins having lower molecular weight using a new polyaddition process in the solid state.
Particularly, the invention relates to a process in which the polyester resin is blended in molten state with a new upgrading additive capable of addition reactions with the terminal groups of the polyester resin which is then granulated, and the granulate subjected to crystallization and upgrading reaction in the solid state.
In Applicant's previous pending European patent applica¬ tion EP No. 89119049.8 a solid state upgrading process is described in which the polyester resin is upgraded in the presence of a dianhydπde of an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid.
The solid state upgrading process according to the inven¬ tion comprises the steps of blending the resin with the new upgrading additive, pelletizmg the resin, subjecting the granules to crystallization and then to upgrading at temperatures in the range from 100° to 230°C.
The process is preferably carried out in continuous way using continuous crystal1lzers and reactors where the chips are fed counter currently with a stream of heated gas such as air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide.
The well known solid state polycondensation reactions mainly consist of post-transesterification and esteπfication reactions, the by-products of which are
SUBSTITUTE SHEET ethylene glycol and water.
The diffusion of these by-products of the granules is the factor controlling the kinetic of the upgrading process.
In the solid state polyaddition process of the invention in which the polymer chain extension is obtained by addition reactions of the particular additive used, there is no formation of by-products which adversely affect the upgrading process. The process therefore can be carried out at temperatures lower than those up to now used or, then the same upgrading temperature is used, the increase of IV can be obtained with much shorter residence times, for instance, residence time of only 2-5 hours can be used instead of the 15-38 hours needed with the known upgrading processes. The shorter residence times result in an increased productivity of the plant.
The possibility of using lower upgrading temperatures allows to upgrade polyester resins such as the copolyethylenterephthalates containing 10-20% of units deriving from isophthalic acid (COPETs) which have low melting points (lower than 220°C) and which cannot be upgraded in the solid state using the known solid state polycondensation processes, due to the sticking of the COPETs on the walls of the reactor.
In the case of COPETs the upgrading process ca be carried out at temperatures from about 100°C to 180°C.
The upgrading additive used in the process of the inven¬ tion is a compound different from a dianhydride of an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid, containing at least two groups capable of addition reactions with the terminal OH and COOH groups of the polyester resin. By addition reactions it is intended the addition reac¬ tions between the terminal groups of the polyester resin and the upgrading additive leading to a linear extension of the polymer chain length.
By upgrading process it is meant the process or the condi¬ tions which lead to an increase of the intrinsic viscosity of the polyester resin.
Groups capable of addition reaction under the upgrading conditions comprise the anhydride group, the isocyanate group, the lmmo group.
A criterion for determining the capability of a substance to give addition reactions with the terminal groups of the polyester resin is the increase of the viscous modulus of at least 20% with respect to the polyester without addi¬ tive, determined by rheometπc measurement at 270°C.
Representative upgrading additives are the dianhydrides of aliphatic and cycloallphatic tetracarboxylic acids, and of tetrahydrofuran acids. Aromatic or aliphatic diisocyanates or polyisocyanates are also suitable.
The preferred dianhydrides are selected from the group consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4 - cyclobutanetetracarboxylIC acid dianhudride;
3, 4 - dicarboxy - 1, 2, 3, 4 - tetrahydro-1-naphthalene- succinic acid dianhydride; bicyclo (2, 2, 2) oct-7-ene- 2, 3, 5, 6 - tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride; tetrahydrofuran 2, 3, 4, 5 tetracarboxylic dianhydride.
Particularly preferred is 1, 2, 3, 4 cyclobutanetetra- carboxylic acid dianhydride.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET As herebefore indicated, the crystallization and upgrading step are carried out in a range of temperatures from 100°C to 230°C.
Apparatus suitable for carrying out the steps can be those described in USP 4,064,112 and 4,161,578 the description of which is herewith enclosed for reference.
The inert gas steams used in these steps can be recycled according to European application, 86830340.5 the descrip¬ tion of which is also enclosed for reference.
With the term polyester resin is intended a resin compris¬ ing polycondensation products of C---,,. glycols e.g. ethylene glycol , 1,4 butylene glycol , with terephthalic acid or derivatives thereof e.g. dimethyl terephthlate , as well as polycondensation products containing besides units derived from terephthalic acid also units deriving from isophthalic acid, naphtalene dicarboxylic acid, orthophtalic acids and 5-tert-butyl-l , 3 benzenedicarboxyl ic acid in amounts from about 0.5 to 25 mole per cent of the total acid units. The process is particularly advantageous for alkylene terephthalate and copolyalkylene therephtalets utilized for injection molding, extrusion blow molding and extrusion applications such as tubing, films, sheets and foaming.
The blending of polyester resin with the upgrading addi¬ tive is preferably carried out in co-rotating "or counter rotating intermeshing or non-intermeshing twin screw extruders with or without venting, at a temperature between 200 and 350°C, depending on the melting point of the polyester and the residence time, sufficient to obtain a homogeneous blending of the additive. A counter rotating non-intermeshmg vented or not vented twin screw extruder is preferred. The use of such type of extruder allows to perform a good distribution ot the additive in the melt and to avoid problems of local high concentrations of the additive due to its high reactivity.
The effective blending section of this type of extruder allows to operate with residence time very short, general¬ ly less than 120 seconds, preferably comprised between 15 and 30 seconds.
The process may be performed continuously, that is without interruption from the melt polyester pol icondensation plant and the blending.
In this case, the extruder is fed directly with the molten low molecular weight polyester resin.
The extruder may also be fed with solid polyester granu¬ late produced in another plant.
The extruder is preferably connected with a high vacuum oil seal pump to maintain a vacuum higher than 2 torr for the devolatization of the reactive mixture and for obtain¬ ing a resin with a low content of acetaldehyde . However, the blending could also be performed without the use of vacuum.
The preferred concentration of the upgrading additive with respect to the polyester resin is 0.05-1% by weight, but higher concentra ion may also be used.
To avoid random local concentration of the additive in the melt, it is advisable to dilute the additive with crystallized PET powder (1 part of additive to 5 parts of
SUBSTITUTE SHEET PET powder). This procedure will ensure a homogeneous distribution of additive in the melt leading to a better reproducibility of the end product intrinsic viscosity and inhibiting the gel formation.
The additive can also be diluted by blending with crystallized PET-chips (1 part additive to 10 parts PET chips) .
The blending could be performed in the solid state in fanned blender .using about 0.1% weight of polythylenglycol or polycaprolactone and similar products, as adhesives, and using blending temperature of about 150°C.
The following examples are given to illustrate but not to limit the scope of the invention.
Example 1

220 g/h of a mixture of 20% weight of 1, 2, 3, 4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride in crystallized COPET powder (IV: 0.75 dl/g; 15% weight isophthalic acid) were fed to the extruder using a gravimetric feeder. The test conditions were as follows:
- cyclobutane tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride in the COPET melt = 0.15% by weight
- screw speed: 415 RPM
- ratio length-diameter (L/D): 24 - average residence time: 18-25 sec.
- barrel temperature: 235°C
- product melt temperature: 290°C
- vacuum: 1-5 torr.
A die with double holes was used as extruder die (diameter 7 mm) .
A strand pelletizer was used to obtain the COPET-chips, which had a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 5 mm, and with an intrinsic viscosity IV 0.865 ± 0.01 dl/g.
The COPET chips had an acetaldehyde content of 6-9 pp . During the test period, the IV of the product was constant over a period of 2 weeks.
The melting point of the product was 212°C.
The chips were then fed continuously into a solid state crystallization/polyaddition plant as described in Europe¬ an application EP 86830340.5 using the recycling of the inert gas therein described.
The crystallization temperature was 150°C and the resi¬ dence time in the crystallizer was 40 mm. The temperature in the solid state reactor was 150βC and the residence time was 10 h. The IV of the upgraded products was 0.965 dl/g. The product was free from gel, with an acetaldehyde content of 0.60 ppm.
In comparison, there was no upgrading of COPET not added with the dianhydride (starting IV = 0.75 dl/g) , using the same conditions for crystallization and upgrading as above indicated.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET Examp l e 2

The IV of the product was 0.86 ± 0.02 dl/g.
The same conditions were used as in example 1; only the average residence time was about 25 sec.
The solid state treatment conditions were 130-140°C in the cystallizer and 140°C in the reactor. The residence time in the reactor was 19 hours. The chips intrinsic viscosity was 0,94 ± 0,015 dl/g. The acetaldehyde content was 0.67 ppm.

30 kg/h of PET melt (IV = 0.75 dl/g) having a content of 100 ppm acetaldehyde were fed continuously from the finisher of a PET polycondensation melt plant into a counter rotating not inter eshing twin screw extruder without venting capabilities.
220 g/h of a mixture of 20% weight of cyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride in crystallized PET powder (IB of the PET powder = 0.75 dl/g) were fed into the extruder using a gravimetric feeder. The test conditions were as follows:
- cyclobutane tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride in the PET melt = 0.15% by weight - screw speed: 415 RPM
- ratio length-diameter (L/D): 24
- barrel temperature: 235°C
- product melt temperature: 288°C
- average residence time: 18-25 sec.
A die with a double hole was used as extruder die.
A strand pelletizer was used to obtain the PET-chips, which had a cylindrical shape with an intrinsic viscosity IV = 0.835 ± 0.02 dl/g.
The chips were fed into a solid state crystallization/polyaddition plant as described in Europe¬ an application EP 86830340.5.
The temperature in the crystallizer was 130-140°C and the residence time of 40 min.
The temperature in the upgrading reactor was 130-140°C and the residence time was 19 h.
The IV of the upgraded product was 0.94 ± 0.015 dl/g.
