Description

Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Eigenschaften von Polyäthylen oder dessen Mischpolymerisaten Die paraffinartigen Äthylenpolymerisate stellen infolge ihrer hohen chemischen Beständigkeit, ihrer vorzüglichen elektrischen Isolierfähigkeit und ihres gegenüber Paraffin wesentlich höheren Schmelzpunktes einen wertvollen Kunststoff dar. Die hochpolymeren Sorten sind auch hinsichtlich mechanischer Festigkeit und Büegsamkeit dem Paraffin merklich überlegen. In chemischer Hinsicht stellt Polyäthylen bekanntermaßen eine äußerst stabile und reaktionsträge Verbindung dar. Um so überraschender war daher die Beobachtung, daß dennoch sehr leicht eine Reaktion mit Isocvanaten eintritt. Bei der Einwirkung von Dii- oder höherwertigen Isocyanaten findet offenbar eine weitere Molekülvergrößerung und teils auch Vernetzung der Moleküle statt, wie man aus den wesentlich veränderten Eigenschaften schließen muß. Sind- die Polyäthylene nach Überschreiten des Schmelzpunktes, der bei allen Sorten zwischen rzo und 12o° liegt, je nach Möl"e1tülgrc-ße entweder dünnflüssig oder zähflüssig-klebrig, so verlieren sie nach der Um-. setzung mit mehrwertigen Isocyanaten ihre Schmelzbarkeit und nehmen in der Wärme ein mehr gummiartiges Verhalten an. Auch bei üblichen . Temperaturen weisen die mechanische Festigkeit und Zähigkeit einen erheblichen Anstieg auf. Die vorher vorhandene Löslichkeit in heißen Kohlenwasserstoffen geht verloren. Der Anwendungsbereich der Polyäthylene wird also dadurch wesentlich erweitert.Process for improving the properties of polyethylene or its copolymers The paraffin-like ethylene polymers represent as a result their high chemical resistance, their excellent electrical insulation properties and its melting point, which is much higher than that of paraffin, is a valuable one Plastic. The high polymer types are also in terms of mechanical strength and indulgence noticeably superior to paraffin. In chemical terms, polyethylene represents is known to be an extremely stable and inert compound. All the more surprising was therefore the observation that a reaction with isocvanates is nevertheless very easy entry. With the action of di- or higher-valent isocyanates apparently takes place a further enlargement of the molecule and partly also cross-linking of the molecules take place, like one must conclude from the essentially changed properties. Are the polyethylene after exceeding the melting point, which is between rzo and 12o ° for all varieties depending on the size, either thin or viscous-sticky, see above lose them after the order. their meltability with polyvalent isocyanates and take on a more rubbery behavior in the warmth. Also at usual . Temperatures have a significant mechanical strength and toughness Rise on. The previously existing solubility in hot hydrocarbons goes lost. The area of application of the polyethylene is thus significantly expanded.

D;ie Zusatzmenge der Isocyanate kann, besonders hei den hochpolymeren Sorten, in geringen Grenzen gehalten werden, z. B. von o,i bis zu einigen Prozenten. Blei niederpolymeren Sorten mit einem Molekulargewicht von etwa aooo geht man vorteilhaft etwas höher. Die Umsetzung erfolgt in der Wärme meist sehr rasch, so daßi diese sogar während der Formgebung vorgenommen werden kann. Nichtsdestoweniger gestatten die von vornherein mit den Isocyanaten behandelten Polyäthylene noch eine gute. Verarbeitung - durch Pressen-, oder Spritzen. Auch eine nachträgliche Behandlng in Lösungen oder Dämpfen der Isocyanate führt vor allem bei dünnwand2gen Schichten, wie Imprägnierungen, zum Ziel. Außer den eigentlichen mehrwertigen Isocyanaten, wie i, 6-Hexandiisocyanat, Dicyclohexylmethan-4, 4'=diisocyanat, Di-p-xylylmethan-4, q'-diisocyanat usw., oder den ähnlich wirkenden Thioisocyanaten können auch solche Verbindungen Anwendung finden, die in der Wärme Isocyanate abspalten, z. B:. Bisphenylurethane.The added amount of isocyanates can, especially for the high polymer Varieties, kept within small limits, e.g. B. from o, i up to a few percent. Low polymer lead types with a molecular weight of about aooo are advantageous a little bit higher. The reaction takes place very quickly in the heat, so that this can even be done during molding. Nonetheless, allow the polyethylene treated with the isocyanates from the outset is still a good one. Processing - by pressing or spraying. Also a subsequent treatment in solutions or vapors of isocyanates, especially with thin-walled layers, like impregnations, to the goal. Besides the actual polyvalent isocyanates, like i, 6-hexane diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane-4, 4 '= diisocyanate, di-p-xylylmethane-4, q'-diisocyanate, etc., or the similarly acting thioisocyanates can also be such Find compounds that split off isocyanates when heated, e.g. B: Bisphenyl urethanes.

Die Wirkung der mehrwertigen Isocyanäte erstreckt sich naturgemäße nicht nur auf die eigentlich reinen; Polyäthylene, sondern auch auf deren Mischpolymerisate mit anderen ungesättigten Verbindungen. Zur Erzielung besonderer Eigenschaften wird man mitunter sogar bestrebt sein,- durch gewollten Einbau reaktionsfähiger Gruppen die Umsatzfähigkeit mit Isocyanaten zu erhöhen.The effect of the polyvalent isocyanates extends naturally not only on the actually pure; Polyethylenes, but also their copolymers with other unsaturated compounds. To achieve special properties one even strives from time to time - through the deliberate incorporation of reactive groups to increase the reactivity with isocyanates.
