Abstract
Non-fibrillating thermo-weldable films are made from two layers of the same polyolefinic material, following a sequence of operations essentially comprising the extrusion of a base film, cooling and longitudinally stretching it under defined conditions, extruding a relatively thin coating of the same polyolefinic material onto the base film and then transversely stretching the composite film under defined conditions. Typically, an extruded film of isotactic polypropylene is cooled to 40 DEG C., stretched 1:5. coated at a base/ coat ratio of 8:1 and stretched transversely 1:8. The polyolefinic material should be a crystalline alpha-olefine polymer or copolymer or a mixture of such. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Process for the preparation of thermoweldable polyolefinic films
The present invention concerns a method for the preparation of thermoweldable, non-fibrilling polyolefine films obtained from a single type of olefinic polymer or copolymer or from mixtures thereof, by the combination of a plurality of successive extrusions and suitable drawing operations.
It is an object of the invention to provide, in a convenient manner, films suitable for the manufacture of containers, covers, small bags, vessels and in general manufactured articles intended for the packaging industry.
As is known, materials intended for packaging should possess a combination of characteristics, both mechanical as well as aesthetic, and in particular impermeability to gases and vapours, of thermoweldability, transparency and brightness and many other characteristics that are difficult to establish simultaneously in films obtained from a single type of polymer. Thus, recourse is made to the use of laminated sheets and coated films obtained by combining polymers of different types.
There are also known and described in various of our patents, laminated and bonded films comprising polyolefinic films and films of othertheroplastic polymers or metal foils, in particular of aluminium.
There are also known bonded sheets obtained from non-stretched polyolefinic films and from films of other thermoplastic polymers which are successively stretched, and also films obtained by the extrusion of olefinic polymers onto films of other thermoplastic polymers.
It has now been found that it is possible to obtain thermoweldable and non-fibrilling polyolefinic films by a process which involves extruding on a polyolefine base film a polyolefine composition which is the same as that of the base film and effecting certain suitable stretch operations.
Thus, the process of the invention permits the use of the same polymer composition both for the preparation of the base film and for its coating.
The invention consists in a process for the preparation of thermoweldable and non-fibrilling polyolefinic films which comprises:
(a) preparing a mono-oriented base film by extrusion of a crystalline alpha-olefine polymer or copolymer or of a mixture thereof, cooling the film at 1000 - 700C and subsequently longitudinally stretching it at 11000 15000 with a stretch ratio in the range 1: 4 to 1: 7;
(b) extruding, onto one or both faces of the base film, a coating of the same polymer or copolymer or mixture used in the preparation of the base film, so that the thickness of the coating layer is from 1/6 to 1/10 of the thickness of the base film; and
(c) cross-stretching the coated film at a temperature of 1 200c to 16000, using a stretch ratio in the range 1 :6to1 1 : 10.
The polymers or copolymers or mixtures thereof suitable for use in the process of this invention both for the preparation of the base film and for its coating, are the crystalline polymers or copolymers of alpha-olefines, these generally being prepared with stereospecific catalysts. In particular, polypropylene having macro-molecules which are prevailingly isotactic, and crystalline propylene-ethylene copolymers prevailingly containing propylene units, both of the block as well as of the random type, as well as polyethylene/polypropylene, polyethylene/crystalline propylene-ethylene copolymer, polypropylene/crystalline propylene-ethylene copolymer mixtures may be used.
The polymers and polymeric mixtures may be compounded with dulling agents, stabilizers, lubricants, fillers, and/or organic and inorganic pigments.
Preferably there are used polymers or polymeric mixtures with a melt index in the range 0.1 to 30.
The polyolefinic films obtainable by the process of this invention show good characteristics of thermoweldability, and good mechanical and aesthetic characteristics; they are non-fibrilling and display good resistance to sticking to the welding bars of automatic or semi-automatic machines used for the manufacture of containers, envelopes, small bags, vessels and in general articles intended for the packaging industry.
The accompanying drawing shows in diagramatic form an example of apparatus suitable for carrying out the process of this invention.
The drawing depicts an extruder (1 ) for the extrusion of the base film, a cooling unit (2), a pre-heating unit (3), a longitudinal stretching unit (4), the extrusion devices (5) for applying the olefine polymer on one or both faces of the base film, and the transverse or cross stretching unit (6).
The measurement of the adhesion of the film to welding bars was made by measuring with an Instron dynamometer the force per surface unit (g/cm2) necessary for the detachment, from the welding elements, of a specimen connected to the dynamometer and subjected to welding under conditions similar to those of packaging machines normally used (temperatures between 13000 and 150 C, pressure 40 psi, time 1 second).
The fibrillability was evaluated by inspection with an optical microscope, after elongation on the Instron dynamometer.
The resistance of the weld was evaluated at 135"C - 15000, with an Instron dynamometer, on superimposed and welded samples, under knurled bars, with a Sentinel type welder, for 1 second, under a pressure of 40 psi.
The following examples illustrate how the invention may be carried into effect without limiting the wider aspects thereof.
