Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for preparing polyester resins which exhibit desirable reheat properties, and, more particularly, the present invention relates to a method for precisely adjusting the reheat properties of a polyester resin over a wide range without having to materially change the resin composition.
  • U.S. Patent Nos. 5,419,936 and 5,529,744 describe a method for reducing the reheat time of polyester resins by introducing between 3 parts per million (ppm) and 300 ppm by weight of fine metal particles into the resin matrix during synthesis.
  • the metal particles are selected based on their ability to intrinsically absorb radiation in the wavelength region 500 ran to 2000 n , which is the wavelength region emitted by most commercially available quartz infra-red lamps used for reheat purposes.
  • the metal particles are sufficiently fine for them not to be visible to the eye, and they have a range of sizes such that absorption of radiation can occur over a relatively wide part of the wavelength range.
  • the amount of metal particles present in the resin composition as it is to be used in forming bottles from bottle preforms is a balance between the desired reduction in reheat time for the polymer, i.e., the preform, and the amount of haze that is acceptable in a given end use.
  • the concentration of contaminants, e.g., metal particles can contribute to an unacceptably high haze level. It has been found that antimony metal particles at concentrations of from 3 ppm to 300 ppm can produce satisfactory reheat times for poly(ethylene terephthalate) [PET] compositions.
  • the antimony metal particles are derived from antimony trioxide (antimony (III) oxide), i.e., a reducible form of antimony, and the PET polymer includes a suitable reducing agent. Reaction between the metal compound and the reducing agent during processing of the polymer leads to formation of the metal distributed generally throughout the polymer.
  • the quantity of reducing agent to be used must be determined by experimentation and operating experience.
  • the present invention is an improvement in a continuous process for producing a PET resin from a PET prepolymer which contains a concentration of finely divided antimony metal particles.
  • the process comprises introducing the PET prepolymer into a moving bed reaction zone while contacting the prepolymer within the reaction zone with a heated inert gas.
  • the improvement according to the invention comprises simultaneously introducing into the reaction zone and contacting the PET prepolymer with a predetermined concentration of oxygen in the range of from 10 ppm up to 350 ppm, based on the volume of inert gas, whereby to selectively convert a portion of the finely divided antimony particles to antimony trioxide.
  • the invention is a method for adjusting the reheat rate of a solid state polymerized linear polyester, e.g., PET, which contains a beginning concentration of finely divided antimony particles.
  • the method comprises contacting the linear polyester in the solid state in the presence of a heated inert gas with an amount of oxygen in the range of from 10 to 350 parts per million, based on the volume of inert gas, whereby a predetermined portion of the beginning concentration of antimony is converted to antimony trioxide.
  • the selection of oxygen level allows for the production of a PET composition having a range of reheat rates without changing the recipe, i.e., the specification, of the polymer composition.
  • the practice of adjusting of the reheat rate of the polymer by changing a single easily controlled parameter in the solid phase portion of the process is much simpler to carry out than changing the prepolymer composition.
  • the invention reduces the amount of intermediate reheat material that is normally produced when changing from one reheat grade of resin to another because the prepolymer composition can remain unchanged.
  • the present invention resides in the discovery that it is possible to control the infra-red absorption properties of commercially produced PET resins which contain finely divided antimony metal particles by exposing the PET prepolymer to controlled levels of oxygen during the solid-state polymerization stage of the production process.
  • PET is produced on a continuous basis at commercial rates by reacting a glycol with a dicarboxylic acid, as the free acid or its dimethyl ester, to produce a prepolymer compound which is then polycondensed to produce the polyester.
  • a reducible antimony metal compound usually in the form of antimony trioxide, is
  • the object of the process is to add only sufficient reducing agent to reduce only a proportion of the antimony trioxide such that the antimony metal concentration thereby produced imparts the desired level of reheat to the resin. Complete reduction of all the antimony trioxide leads to a resin which is too dark and which does not have satisfactory color for use in PET bottles.
  • the degree of reduction and hence the proportion of the antimony trioxide that is converted to antimony metal particles is a complex function of the oligomeric composition of the prepolymer, reducing agent concentration and point at which the reducing agent is added to the prepolymer. It follows that the prepolymer composition which leads to a specific reheat rate for the final polymer is unique for each route of manufacture. The composition must therefore be carefully formulated for each individual process, such as in the illustration given in Example 2 below.
  • the molecular weight of the prepolymer which is typically in the range of from 0.55 to 0.65 dl/g, is further increased by solid state polymerization to a value typically in the range of from 0.75 to 0.85 dl/g as required for commercial application.
  • the prepolymer is first crystallized in one or more stages at temperatures in the range 120° to 180°C in either air or an inert atmosphere. At the outset the resin is heated in an agitated reactor to prevent the amorphous chip from sticking before it has crystallized. Secondary crystallization stages may then be employed to raise the crystallinity of the resin to the desired level prior to the reaction stage of the process.
  • the precrystallized prepolymer is processed in one or more moving bed reactors at higher temperatures, typically in the range of from 200°-230°C, in an atmosphere of hot inert gas in order to raise the molecular weight of the final polymer to the desired level.
  • the inert gas used is nitrogen. Oxygen levels in the nitrogen stream are normally maintained at the lowest possible levels during this stage to minimize the problem of oxidative degradation, which can restrict the rate at which the polymerization reaction proceeds and lead to color formation (e.g., yellowing) in the resin.
  • the invention it is now possible to employ a single recipe for the PET prepolymer composition which contains an excess of antimony metal, yet have the capability to produce a wide range of reheat grades of resin without having to change the polymer recipe by controlling the oxygen level at precise, higher than normal levels during the solid state polymerization process.
  • the oxygen level in the inert gas used in the solid state polymerization step can be set at any predetermined value over a range of from 10 ppm up to 350 ppm whereby the desired concentration of antimony metal is oxidized.
  • Re-oxidized antimony particles i.e., those which are converted to antimony trioxide, do not absorb infrared radiation. Exposure of the prepolymer to as little as 10 ppm of oxygen during solid state polymerization has produced a measurable effect in terms of reheat time.
  • a 1 kilogram sample quantity of "fast reheat" amorphous base PET prepolymer chip was crystallized by heating for 4 hours in an air oven at 130°C.
  • the 1 kilogram sample of crystallized chip was then heated as a static column in a glass tube with a porous sintered glass base, through which heated nitrogen as the inert gas was passed at a flow rate of 40 liters/min in order to polymerize the chip in the solid state.
  • the nitrogen was heated by first being passed through a glass coil inside a glass vapor bath jacket containing a boiling liquid with the same boiling point as the required solid state polymerization reaction temperature.
  • the oxygen level in the nitrogen was precisely controlled by feeding gas from a 200 bar (20 X 10 3 kPa) cylinder of "Beta standard" purity 5% oxygen in nitrogen (Air Products) into a pure nitrogen stream via precisely calibrated flowmeters to give an inert gas/oxygen mixture with the desired level of oxygen.
  • the chip was heated in this way, at selected temperatures and selected oxygen levels, for between 4 and 8 hours.
  • the temperatures used were between 192°C and 215°C, and the oxygen amounts added to the nitrogen stream were between 10 and 350 parts per million.
  • the final polymerized polymers were injection molded into 10 cm diameter x 4 mm thick circular plaques on which reheat, infra-red absorption, color and haze was measured. Reheat was measured on a scale of values based on a standard preform reheat test (E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Standard Test Method for Minimum Blowing Time Test No. MST 116). The test compares the minimum blowing time required to produce a clear PET bottle.
  • the blowing time required for a test sample is compared with that for a "zero seconds reheat" standard polymer. The difference is quoted as the "reheat" of the test sample.
  • the reheat values observed at different oxygen levels at a solid state polymerization temperature of 215°C are shown in the table below.
  • EXAMPLE 2 Commercial Plant Scale Amorphous base polymer with the desired composition was produced by a commercial continuous melt process in which terephthalic acid and ethyiene glycol were reacted in three separate stages.
  • the first was the esterification stage in an "Esterifier" vessel, in which terephthalic acid and ethyiene glycol in the form of a slurry of molar ratio of about 2 to 1 reacted to form monomer, low molecular oligomer and water. This was carried out at 280°-290°C and atmospheric pressure, during which excess glycol and the water produced during the reaction were distilled off.
  • the monomer and oligomer was continuously fed to the second part of the process, the pre-polymerization stage in the "Upflow Pre-polymerizer” (UFPP).
  • UFPP Upflow Pre-polymerizer
  • the oligomer was reacted under intermediate vacuum at 280°-295°C to increase the degree of polymerization of the oligomer to produce the "pre-polymer”.
  • Low pressure in the UFPP removed excess glycol and glycol generated during the polymerization reaction.
  • color modifiers and stabilizer compounds were injected into the monomer/oligomer.
  • phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and phosphorous acid (H3PO3) stabilizers both at levels of 80 ppm in the final polymer, were injected in the form of solutions in diethylene glycol.
  • cobalt acetate color modifier (160 ppm) and antimony trioxide polycondensation catalyst (270 ppm) were added in the form of solutions in ethyiene glycol.
  • the molten prepolymer was continuously fed from the UFPP to the third and final stage, the "Finisher", in which the prepolymer was reacted to form an intermediate molecular weight polymer under high vacuum at 285°-300°C.
  • the vessel contained a wiped-wall agitator which drives the highly viscous polymer melt through the vessel.
  • the vacuum removed glycol generated during the polymerization reaction.
  • the molten polymer finally passed through filters before being extruded through die-heads to form laces which were quenched and then chopped into chips.
  • the polymer had an intrinsic viscosity (IN) of 0.58-0.62 dl/g.
  • the amorphous base chip was then solid state polymerized in a continuous commercial production plant process to raise the viscosity to the desired level of the final product.
  • the process involved subjecting the intermediate MW polymer to a precrystallization stage, a crystallization stage, a preheating stage and a final solid state polymerization stage, in which the chip passed from stage to stage in a continuous flow with a throughput of between 10 and 15 tons of product per hour.
  • the amorphous polymer was precrystallized by heating it at a temperature of 160°C for about 20 minutes in an air atmosphere in a fluidized reactor vessel with an inventory of about 4 tons of material.
  • the crystallinity of the chip was raised by heating the chip to a temperature of about 175°C for between 5 and 10 minutes in an air atmosphere in a second fluidized reactor with an inventory of 1 to 2 tons.
  • the IV and temperature of the chip was raised further by heating the chip to a temperature of about 215°C and holding it for 4 hours in a plug-flow "preheater" vessel under a recirculated nitrogen atmosphere and an inventory of 70 tons of material.
  • the IV was raised from about 0.58-0.62 dl/g to about 0.68 dl/g.
  • the chip was heated in a vertical plug-flow solid state polymerization reactor at 205°C to 210°C and held at that temperature for about 15 hours in a recirculating nitrogen atmosphere and an inventory of about 150 tons of polymer in order to achieve the desired final intrinsic viscosity.
  • the IV was raised from about 0.68 dl/g to about 0.82 dl/g.
  • the nitrogen stream was recirculated through the preheater to the solid state polymerization reactor and then back to the preheater via firstly a platinum bed catalyst "regeneration" unit in which oxygen and organic rich off-gases in the gas stream were combusted to CO 2 , and: secondly via a dehumidification unit containing a molecular sieve desiccant material to remove moisture from the gas stream.
  • the regeneration and dehumidification units were located between the preheater and the solid state polymerization reactor.
  • the regeneration process was controlled by feeding a small and precisely controlled excess quantity of oxygen into the unit to ensure adequate combustion.
  • An oxygen level meter of the "Orbisphere" type was located between the regeneration and dehumidification units. Measurements from this meter were continuously taken and, via a feedback loop, used to automatically control the valve which inputs the excess oxygen to the combustion process such that consistent oxygen levels were maintained in the gas stream.
  • the oxygen in the recirculated gas stream is precisely controlled at 16-20 parts per million.
  • the prepolymer composition described above leads to a final polymer with a reheat of minus 12 to minus 14 seconds according to the MST 116 preform reheat scale.
  • the level of oxygen in the nitrogen stream was deliberately increased by adjusting the control loop between the oxygen meter to supply less excess oxygen input to the regeneration unit. In this way less combustion took place and hence the resulting oxygen level in the gas stream could be increased and precisely controlled.
  • 190 ppm oxygen was found to give a final product with a significantly reduced reheat, minus 4 to minus 6 seconds, with the same prepolymer composition.
  • the product can be used in applications in which faster reheat is not a necessity and offers no commercial advantage.
  • the polymer has lower haze and a lighter color than the faster reheat product, both of which are of commercial advantage in some applications.
