Abstract

Gas checks on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) calendered films are a common but not well understood surface quality defect that causes delays and resource wastage during the manufacturing of plastic sheets and films. Three modified poly(caprolactone) (PCL)-based additives of differing molecular weights were used as a secondary plasticizer in PVC with the goal of preventing the formation of gas checks without modifying the calendering process conditions. To better understand gas check prevention processes, the effects of the PCL-based additives on the thermal, mechanical, rheological, and chemical properties of PVC blends were assessed. A high molecular weight (2000 g/mol) PCL-based additive was unable to prevent gas checks in PVC blends, unlike the lower molecular weight (540 g/mol and 900 g/mol) additives. Chemical and physicochemical properties affect the prevention or reduction of gas checks showing that the acid values and molecular weights of the PCL-based additives are related to the number of gas checks. In contrast, physical properties, including rheological ones like complex viscosity or the storage and loss moduli that were previously hypothesized to be important factors in preventing gas check formation, were not significantly impacted by the addition of the secondary plasticizer. Furthermore, the acid value was observed to be related to the reduction in gas checks, likely due to the interaction of the dispersed functional acid groups with the entrapped air. Consequently, the effectiveness of the additive in eliminating gas checks declines as the acid value decreases.

Highlights

  • Low concentrations of PCL-based additives prevent gas checks on PVC films.
  • They do not significantly affect the physical/mechanical properties of films.
  • Higher molecular weight additives are beneficial, but only below 2000 g/mol.
  • The effectiveness of PCL-based additives increases with acid value.

使用聚(己内酯)基添加剂压延聚氯乙烯薄膜时气体检查的预防
聚氯乙烯(PVC)压延薄膜的气体检测是一种常见但不为人知的表面质量缺陷,它会导致塑料片材和薄膜制造过程中的延迟和资源浪费。在不改变压延工艺条件的情况下,采用三种不同分子量的改性聚己内酯(PCL)基添加剂作为PVC的二次增塑剂,以防止气体的形成。为了更好地了解防止气体泄漏的过程,研究人员评估了基于pcl的添加剂对PVC共混物的热、机械、流变和化学性能的影响。与低分子量(540 g/mol和900 g/mol)添加剂不同,高分子量(2000 g/mol) pcl添加剂无法防止PVC共混物中的气体检测。化学和物理化学性质会影响防止或减少气体检测,这表明基于pcl的添加剂的酸值和分子量与气体检测的次数有关。相比之下,物理性质,包括流变学性质,如复合粘度或储存和损失模量,这些之前被假设为防止气阻形成的重要因素,并没有受到添加二次增塑剂的显著影响。此外,酸值被观察到与气体检查的减少有关,可能是由于分散的功能酸基团与被困空气的相互作用。因此,随着酸值的降低,添加剂消除气检的有效性下降。低浓度的聚氯乙烯基添加剂防止PVC薄膜的气体检查。它们不会显著影响薄膜的物理/机械性能。较高分子量的添加剂是有益的,但仅在2000 g/mol以下。pcl基添加剂的有效性随着酸值的增加而增加。

期刊介绍: Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology is a peer-reviewed technical publication for new work in the fields of polymer modifiers and additives, vinyl polymers and selected review papers. Over half of all papers in JVAT are based on technology of additives and modifiers for all classes of polymers: thermoset polymers and both condensation and addition thermoplastics. Papers on vinyl technology include PVC additives.
