Films of the present invention may comprise up to 100 percent post-consumer recycled polystyrene and are useful as window envelope films.

Description

The polystyrene film that contains the polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption
The present invention relates to contain oriented polystyrene film polystyrene, substantial transparent that reclaims again after the consumption.Specifically, the present invention relates to can be as window envelope this type of Polystyrene Film with film.
Window envelope is a kind of one or more different shapes that have, and is generally the envelope of orthogonal window, and the shape of window should be suitable for observing the various information in the limited range on the letter paper that are printed in the envelope; Be generally name and address.The window of envelope or a plurality of window all are to use by the substantially transparent film, are generally window that Polystyrene Film makes and paste sealing or sealing.The method of pasting window is: window envelope is pasted with the window that film is cut into desired length and width, then it is attached on the window envelope.
Window envelope mainly is the extruded polystyrene film with film usually, and for the ornamental mist degree of necessity of increasing film or the translucency of film, the optional polymkeric substance that contains low ratio modified rubber is as high-impact polystyrene (" HIPS ").Window envelope can be made with twin shaft or uniaxial orientation method with film.Biaxially oriented film is because of having good horizontal cutability, so be preferred.
In view of the protection to environment, it is more and more important that minimizing need be buried the volume of filling out plastics.To bury the volume of filling out plastics in order reducing, to have done many work aspect all types of plastic goods that after utilizing consumption, reclaim again.Yet these work prove: the polystyrene that will reclaim again after will consuming make substantially transparent, orientation thin polystyrene film is very difficult.Therefore, industry member still has makes polystyrene film substantial transparent, orientation with the polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption, as the requirement of window envelope with film.
The invention provides the thin polystyrene film that contains reclaim again after the consumption polystyrene, substantially transparent, orientation, the processing physicals of this film with do not contain consumption after the Polystyrene Film of the polystyrene of recovery is identical again.Film of the present invention can contain the polystyrene that reclaims again up to after 100% consumption.
The thickness of film of the present invention is generally at least about 0.25 mil (6.35 microns), is preferably at least about 0.75 mil (19.05 microns).Film thickness of the present invention is no more than about 7 mils (177.8 microns) usually, preferably is no more than about 4 mils (101.6 microns), more preferably no more than about 2.5 mils (63.5 microns).
Film of the present invention or uniaxial orientation or diaxial orientation.Preferred film of the present invention is a diaxial orientation.
Film of the present invention mainly is made up of extruded polystyrene usually.This film can contain a small amount of antiplaque agent and acid scavenger, as proposing in United States Patent (USP) 5009953 and 5190814.This film also can contain and increases mist agent (hazing agent) on a small quantity, for example adds as high impact polystyrene (HIPS) making it have the ornamental mist degree or the translucency of necessity to film.As the preferred HIPS that increases the mist agent is STYRON 404 (buying from The Dow Chemical Company).
The extruded polystyrene that is used to make film of the present invention can contain the polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption of nearly 100% (weight).The polystyrene that reclaims again after this consumption meet ASTM D5033-90 to consumption after the regulation of salvage material again.Be used for extruded polystyrene of the present invention and also can contain general purpose polystyrene.Concrete general purpose polystyrene is not a key.Yet a kind of preferred general purpose polystyrene is STYRON 665 (buying from The DowChemical Company).Be used for extruded polystyrene of the present invention and also can contain our factory's particle from film of the present invention.Usually, extruded polystyrene is the blends of polystyrene that reclaims again after a kind of general purpose polystyrene, film particle of the present invention and the consumption.
The polystyrene that is used for reclaiming again after the consumption of the present invention must be to be substantially free of such as particulates such as paper fiber, string rubber and cross linked gels, to prevent to assemble when the thin film alignment or form eyelet.The Soxhlet extraction technique can be used to detect the particulate loading in the polystyrene sample that reclaims again after the various consumption.This Soxhlet extraction technique is to be solvent with toluene, through 10 microns filtering methods of filter.The weight of the polystyrene sample that reclaims again after each consumption of elder generation's weighing when adopting the Soxhlet extracting is dissolved in it in toluene then.The dissolved sample is weighed through any undissolved solia particle that 10 microns filters filter and will reclaim.Filtering particulate weight can be got the weight percentage of particulate in the initial sample divided by the weight of initial sample.Usually, fraction of particle in the polystyrene that is used for reclaiming again after the present invention's consumption should be lower than about 0.1 (weight) % by Soxhlet extraction technique mensuration.Preferably, but do not contain the particulate (Soxhlet extraction process mensuration) of detection limit in the polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption.
The polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption also must be to be substantially free of other type polymer, as polypropylene and polyethylene impurity, to avoid taking place the melt uncompatibility.The melt uncompatibility can make film surface form assorted spot.Preferably, when the polystyrene that reclaims again after the method that adopts ASTM D-3418 to be proposed is to consumption carried out the analysis of digital scanning calorimetry, its second-order transition temperature should be indicated at about 100 ℃.
For the optical clarity that the film that makes is produced, the polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption should be transparent basically.The polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption must not have ironmould, food oils and other pigment impurity basically.The thin slice that is pressed into thickness about 0.1 inch (0.254 centimetre) by the polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption on 400 (204.4 ℃) flat press should have and is lower than 20% mist degree (press ASTM D-1003 mensuration).
The polystyrene that is preferred for reclaiming again after the consumption of the present invention is the polystyrene of retrieving from transparent injection moulding or thermoforming polystyrene parts.Preferred recovery polystyrene material is to derive from pocket disc jewel box, the transparent inserts of pocket disc jewel box, cassette for recording tape, sweet cake plate or berry box.
Find not wish impurity-lime carbonate of existing sometimes in the polystyrene that after consumption, reclaims again.But containing the polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption of a little lime carbonate can be preferably with in the present invention.Also strictly determine though be used for the permission upper limit of the polystyrene calcium carbonate content that reclaims again after the consumption of the present invention, successfully will contain the polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption up to the lime carbonate of 575ppm and mix in the film of the present invention.Admissible lime carbonate consumption can be decided with polystyrene per-cent that reclaims again after the consumption of being adopted and the concrete end-use of making film.This consumption be do not need through the experiment just confirmable.
Can make film of the present invention by any technology known in the art.More particularly, can make thin film alignment of the present invention by any technology as known in the art.Yet, when the resin treatment of the polystyrene that will reclaim again after will containing consumption becomes film of the present invention, not contain the polystyrene resin that reclaims again after the consumption with processing in the same way and compare identical orientation degree is arranged in order to reach, be necessary the melt temperature of resin is done a little adjustment.The result of this adjustment normally makes melt temperature be reduced to many about 10 ℃.For keeping the designated orientations degree, the required adjustment amount of melt temperature can be decided with the source and the consumption of the polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption.Yet, this adjustment amount be do not need through the experiment just confirmable.
Verified: the polystyrene that reclaims again after the consumption in many sources is to be difficult to maybe can not be processed into thin alignment films.For example, the resin that reclaims from the containers for food use of foam cup and foam thin plate system (SP-012 that buys from Dart Container Corporation) contains the clearly visible big gel of many naked eyes.In processing during SP-012, in extruding machine, can observe material significantly and emerge in large numbers and resemble, obviously, this be since resin granular material not of uniform size cause caused.
Another kind of test is PC-1000 (available from National Polystyrene Recycling Company) with the source of the polystyrene that reclaims again after consuming.PC-1000 is made by food product containers and vessel (dish and dish).The Soxhlet extraction test shows that PC-1000 contains about 1.7 (weight) % particle.
Become the biaxially oriented film of 0.2 mil (130.48 microns) to attempt to the resin treatment that contains 65.75 (weight) % general purpose polystyrene (STYRON-665), 25 (weight) %PC-1000,8 (weight) % high-impact polystyrene (STYRON404) and 1.25 (weight) %CN-201 (available from Polycom Huntsman).Yet this face (film web) just ruptured every 20-45 minute, consequently was difficult to collection and materialsed.CN-201 is the pre-compounded blend of 20 (weight) % tetrafluoroethylene, 1 (weight) % calcium stearate and 79 (weight) %STYRON 665.
Produced the source of the polystyrene that reclaims again after the another kind of consumption: PC-1000D by National Polystyrene Recycling Company.PC-1000D is the food product containers waste that reclaims from Los Angeles school systems.The source of the polystyrene that reclaims again after this a kind of consumption is owing to tighter source control is arranged, so foreign matter content is lower than PC-1000.Show after analyzing many PC-1000D, through the extractive insoluble impurity of Soxhlet between 0.1% and 1.6%.
Become biaxially oriented film to attempt to the above-mentioned resin manufacture that substitutes with 25 (weight) %PC-1000D behind 25 (weight) %PC-1000, yet this face approximately just ruptured every 30 minutes.This is clearly explanation just, still has noticeable processing problems even foreign matter content is low to 0.1% (measuring with the Soxhlet extraction process).
