Description
3~
This invention relates to improved, unfilled thermoplastic molding compositions and, more particularly, to improved unfilled thermoplastic molding compositions.
High molecular weight linear polyesters and copolyesters of glycols and terephthalic or isophthalic acid have been available for a number of years. These are described inter alia in Whinfield et al, U.S. Patent No. 2,465,319 - dated March 22, 1949, and in U.S. Patent 3,047,539 - dated July 31, 1962. These patents disclose that the polyesters are particularly advantageous as film and fiber formers.
With the developement of molecular weight control, the use of nucleating agents and two-step molding cycles, poly-(ethylene terephthalate) has become an important constituent of injection-moldable compositions. Poly (1,4-butylene terephthalate), because of its very rapid crystallization from the melt, is uniquely usef~l as a component in such compositions. Workpieces molded from such polyester resins, in comparison with other thermoplastics, offer a high degree of surface hardness and abrasion resistance, high gloss, and lower surface friction.
Recently, block copolyesters, wherein the major portion of the repeating units are poly(l,4-butylene terephthalate) blocks, have been found to have enhanced impact resistance.
U.S. Patent No. 3,937,757 - dated February 10, 1976 - Seydl et al teaches that the tracking resistance of poly(l,4~butylene terephthalate) compositions can be improved by the addition of from 5 to 5Q% by weight of a polyolefin or ethylene copolymers, containing at least 50%
by weight ethylene units, thereto.
It has now been surprisingly discovered that if a small amount, i.e., less than 5% by weight, of a ~ 34 8CH-2670 copolymer of ethylene and viny' acetate is incorporated in unfilled thermoplastic molding compositions comprised of high molecular weight linear polyester such as those described hereinbefore, the compositions exhIbit vastly~
improved impact resistance. By the term "unfilled" herein, is meant that the compos~tions of this inYention do not contain fillers like talc and mica or xe-in~orcements, such as glass or conventional flame-~retardants.
According to this invention then, there are pro-vided unfilled thermoplastic compositions w~ich are use~ul for molding or extrusion, e.g~, injection moldingr injection blow molding, compression molding, transfex !
molding, profile extrusion, sheet extrusion, wire coating, extrusion blow molding and the like, the compositions have impro~ed impact resistance, said compositions comprising:
(a~ a high molecular weight linear polyester;
and (b) from about 0.1 to 4~5~, by weight, based on the weight of the total composition, of a copolymer of ethylene and yinyl acetate, ; 20 The high molecular weight linear polyesters used in the praçtice of the pxesent invention are polymeric glycol esters of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acids~
They are available commercially or can be prepared hy kno~n techniques, such as by the alcoholysis of esters of the phthalic acid with a ~lycol and subsequent polymerization, by~ heating ghycols with the free acids or ~ith halide deriyatives thereof, and similar processes.
These are descxibed in ~S. Patent No. 2,465,319 - dated March 22, 1949 - Whi~nfield et al and U,S. Patent No.
3~ 3,047,539 - dated July 31~ 1962 - Pengilly, and elsewhere.
Although the glycol portion of the polyester can contain from two to ten carbon atoms, it is preferred that it contain from two to four carbon at~ms in the form of 1~ 4 73'~ 8CH-2670 linear methylene chains.
Preferred polyesters will be of the family consisting of high molecular weight, polymeric glycol terephthalates or isophthalates having repeating units of the general formula:

3~ 3,047,539 - dated July 31~ 1962 - Pengilly, and elsewhere.
Although the glycol portion of the polyester can contain from two to ten carbon atoms, it is preferred that it contain from two to four carbon at~ms in the form of 1~ 4 73'~ 8CH-2670 linear methylene chains.
Preferred polyesters will be of the family consisting of high molecular weight, polymeric glycol terephthalates or isophthalates having repeating units of the general formula:
2)n - C - ~ ~
wherein n is a whole number of from two to four, and mixtures of such esters, including copolyesters of terephthalic and isophthalic acids of up to about 30 mole percent isophthalic units.
Especially preferred polyesters are poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(l,4-butylene terephthalate).
Special mention is made of the latter because it crystallizes at such a good rate that it may be used for injection molding without the need for nucleating agents or long cycles, as is sometimes necessary with poly (ethylene terephthalate).
Illustratively, high molecular weight polyesters will have an intrinsic viscosity of at least about 0.4 deciliters/gram and, preferably, at least 0.7 deciliters/
gram as measured in a 60:40 phenol tetrachloroethane mixture at 30 C. At intrinsic viscosities of at least about 1.1 deciliters/gram, there is a further enhancement in toughness of the present compositions.
The copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate which are used in accordance with the present invention are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art and for the most part are commercially available. For the purposes of the invention, i.e., providing improvement in impact 1~4734 8C~ 2670 resistance, it has been found that high or low vinyl - content copolymers can be employed. That is, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers containing less than, equal to, or greater than 50% vinyl content can be used herein.
Thus, illustrative copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate which are encompassed within the scope of this invention include ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl TM
content of about 15~ by weight (Alathon 3152, sold by DuPont), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing 25~ by weight vinyl acetate (Alathon 3892, sold by DuPont), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing 28~ by weight vinyl acetate (Alathon 3180, DuPont), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing 45% by weight vinyl acetate TM
(Vynathene EY 903, sold by U.S.I. Chemicals, N.Y., N.Y.), and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing 52% by weight vinyl acetate (Vynathene EY 904, sold by U.S.I.
Chemicals).
In general, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer additives are employed herein in amounts ranging from about 0.1% to 4.5~, by weight, of the total weight of the composition.
The compositions of the present invention are pre-pared in conventional ways. For example, in one way, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is put into an extrusion compounder with the polyester resin to produce molding pellets. The copolymer is dispersed in a matrix of the polyester resin in the process. In another procedure, the copolymer is mixed with the polyester resin by dry blending, then either fluxed on a mill and comminuted, or they are extruded and chopped. The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer can also be mixed with powdered or granular polyester resin and directly molded, e.g., by injection or ~' ~ 734 8CH-2670 transfer molding techniques. It is always important to thoroughly free the polyester resin from as much water as possible.
In addition, compounding should be carried out to ensure that the residence time in the machine is short;
the temperature is carefully controlled, the friction heat is utilized, and an intimate blend between the copolymer and the polyester resin is obtained.
Although it is not essential, best results are ob-tained if the ingredients are pre-compounded, pelletized, and then molded. Pre-compounding can be carried out in conventional equipment. For example, after carefully pre-drying the polyester resin, e.g., at 125C for 4 hours, a single screw extruder is fed with a dry blend of the polyester and the thylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, the screw employed having a long transition and metering section to ensure melting. On the other hand, a twin screw extrusion machine, e.g., a 28 mm Werner Pfleiderer machine can be fed with resin and additive at the feed port. In 2Q either case, a generally suitable machine temperature will be about 450 to 570F.
The pre-compounded composition can be extruded and cut up into molding compounds such as conventional granules, etc., by standard techniques.
The compositions of this invention can be molded in any equipment conventionally used for thermoplastic compositions. For example, with poly(l,4-butylene-terephthalate), good results will be obtained in an injection molding machine, e.g., of the Newbury type with conventional cylinder temperature, e.g., 450F and conventional mold temperatures, e.g., 1500F. On the other hand, with poly(ethylene terephthalate), because of the ----v ~ ~
lack of uniformity of crystallinization from interior to exterior of thick pieces, somewhat less conve;~tional but still well-known techniques can be used. For example, a nucleating agent such as graphite or a metal oxide, e.g., ZnO or MgO can be included and standard mold temperature of at least 230 F. will be used.
In order that those skilled in the art may better understand how to practice the present invention, the following examples are given by way of illustration and not by way of limitation.
