example 1
[0013] A fabric of type BSL220 from the Basaltex division of Group Masureel, Wevelgem, Belgium, was chosen for incorporation into the synthetic doctor blade. This fabric is made from 100% BCF (Basalt Continuous Filament) fibers woven into a 220 gsm flat weave construction with 10 threads per cm in the warp and 9.6 threads per cm in the weft.
[0014] Sizing BSL200 fabric with aminosilane (P8) for compatibility with epoxy resins. The sized fabric was then coated with an epoxy-type resin, bisphenol A epoxy resin supplied by Vantico Ltd. of Duxford, Cambridge, UK, and resin impregnated / Pre-dipping process to B-stage the sized fabric. Ten layers of the resin-impregnated fabric were then laminated together to form a doctor blade having a thickness of 1.66 mm and a glass transition temperature of 160°C.
example 2
[0016] The doctor blades were produced as described in Example 1 with the only difference that an epoxy novolac resin obtained from Vyduit Ltd. was used as the binder resin, thus resulting in a glass transition temperature of 180°C for the resulting doctor blades. In various embodiments, the doctor blade may have a glass transition temperature between about 120°C and about 350°C, and preferably between about 160°C and about 180°C. In further embodiments, the doctor blade may have a thickness of between about 0.8 mm to about 3.0 mm, and preferably from about 1.0 mm to about 2.0 mm.
[0017] In laboratory tests, the basalt fabric reinforced polymers of Examples 1 and 2 showed similar mechanical wear / abrasion resistance, generally 15% less frictional resistance when compared to comparable glass blades used as doctor blades %, the doctor blade runs on a dry steel roll, rotating at a speed of 1000 m / min or 668 rpm, set at an angle of 25° under a load of 0.178 kg / cm (1 pli).
