Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of packaging materials, and more particularly to a high-strength PET preform and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the increasing demand for lightweight, high-strength and sustainability of packaging containers in the food, beverage and daily chemical industries, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material has become one of the mainstream materials for packaging liquid products due to its excellent mechanical properties, transparency and recyclability. Among them, the performance of PET preform, as an intermediate product for blow molding bottle, directly determines the mechanical strength, barrier property and shape stability of the final packaging bottle. At present, the high-strength PET preforms commonly seen in the market are mostly realized by material modification, structure design and process optimization, but there are still many technical limitations.

[0003] In order to improve the mechanical properties of PET preform, various means are usually adopted in the prior art for optimization. On the one hand, by adjusting the molecular weight and its distribution of PET resin, the inherent viscosity is improved, so as to enhance the intrinsic strength of the material. High-viscosity PET resin can form a more compact molecular chain structure during molding, which helps to improve the overall rigidity and deformation resistance of the preform. On the other hand, specific comonomers or additives, such as cyclohexane dimethanol or nano fillers, are introduced to improve the crystallization behavior and toughness of PET. In addition, optimizing injection molding process parameters, including mold temperature, cooling rate, injection pressure and holding time, etc., are also widely used to control the residual stress distribution and crystallinity inside the preform, thereby reducing defects and improving structural uniformity. Some technical solutions also attempt to give the preform additional barrier properties and mechanical support through multi-layer co-injection or surface coating technology.

[0004] Although the prior art has made certain progress in improving the strength of PET preform, there are still many technical problems to be solved in actual application. First of all, simply relying on increasing the viscosity of the resin often leads to increased material processing difficulty, prolonged injection molding cycle, and thus affects production efficiency and increases manufacturing cost. Secondly, the optimization space of process parameters is limited, and excessive pursuit of high strength may lead to stress concentration in the preform, which in turn may cause cracks or even breakage during subsequent blow molding or use. Furthermore, the existing technology still lacks systematic solutions for the long-term performance stability of the preform under complex environmental conditions, such as high-temperature storage, low-temperature impact, waterproof and moisture resistance, or content corrosion, etc. SUMMARY

[0005] In summary, achieving a significant improvement in the comprehensive mechanical properties of PET preforms while ensuring good processing performance remains a major challenge in current technological development. High-strength PET preforms have become a key research topic for those skilled in the art. Through in-depth research in this product field, the inventors have ultimately proposed a high-strength PET preform and its preparation method in this application. The PET preform material obtained in this application not only significantly improves its mechanical strength but also maintains long-term performance stability under complex environmental conditions, such as high-temperature storage, low-temperature impact, water and moisture resistance, and resistance to corrosion from contents. This meets the comprehensive performance requirements of PET preforms in complex environments, ensuring optimal application performance.

[0006] A high-strength PET preform, by weight, comprises at least the following raw materials: 90-130 parts PET resin, 5-12 parts auxiliary polymerization composition, 2-6 parts nano-reinforcing phase, 0.5-1 part crystallization regulator, 0.3-0.6 parts heat stabilizer, and 0.2-0.5 parts dispersant.

[0015] The auxiliary polymerization composition added in this application effectively enhances the overall performance of PET preforms. During processing, the two specific types of polymethyl methacrylate and ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer can fully bond with PET molecules, forming a strong and tough interfacial bond, thereby significantly enhancing the mechanical strength and impact toughness of the preform. The rigid components in the composition effectively improve the heat resistance and dimensional stability of the product, while the flexible segments improve its low-temperature brittleness resistance. At the same time, by forming a dense microstructure, the composition enhances the preform's barrier properties against moisture, oils, and other substances, as well as its corrosion resistance, extending the packaging life. Ultimately, without significantly altering the inherent properties of PET, a comprehensive optimization of strength, toughness, and durability is achieved.

[0016] Preferably, the nano-reinforcing phase is at least one of nano-silica, nano-kaolin, nano-calcium carbonate, and nano-titanium dioxide.

[0017] More preferably, the nano-reinforcing phase is nano-silica or nano-calcium carbonate.

[0036] Further addition of the aforementioned composite additives can effectively improve the overall performance of the preform without affecting the inherent properties of the PET matrix. By constructing strengthened intermolecular connections to repair and extend the molecular chain structure, the molecular weight and melt strength of the material are increased, resulting in a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the final product, such as pressure resistance and rigidity. On the other hand, the active components in this system can participate in the formation of a stable network structure, further enhancing the interaction forces between molecular chains, thereby improving the preform's creep resistance and dimensional stability. Since all reactions are completed at the molecular level and the additives are highly compatible with PET, the defects that may be caused by introducing foreign phases are avoided. Through this efficient molecular modification and network strengthening effect, the PET preform achieves superior overall strength and durability while maintaining excellent processing performance and transparency.

[0047] Preferably, the preparation method of the high-strength PET preform specifically includes the following steps: S1: Dehumidify and dry the PET resin to a moisture content ≤0.1%, then put the PET resin and all other raw materials except the composite additive into a high-speed mixer and mix at 500~600 rpm for 15~25 min, then add the composite additive and mix for 3~5 min to obtain a premix; S2: Add the premix to a twin-screw extruder for melt blending and granulation, using a five-zone temperature range of 250℃ / 265℃ / 275℃ / 280℃ / 275℃, a die temperature of 270℃, and a screw speed of 200~240 rpm, then cool and granulate to obtain masterbatch; S3: Dehumidify and dry the masterbatch again to ensure a moisture content ≤0.1%, then injection mold it using a precision injection molding machine.

[0050] 2. The auxiliary polymerization composition added to the PET preform material in this application can connect with PET molecules to form a strong and tough interfacial bond, thereby significantly enhancing the mechanical strength and impact toughness of the preform.

[0097] Performance testing

[0098] 1. Internal pressure resistance: Referring to standard GB / T 4546-2008, the prepared bottle preform is placed in an explosion-proof box, and compressed air is injected into the bottle at a constant rate through a pressurizing device until the bottle bursts. The pressure value at the time of bursting is recorded. Ten samples are tested for each sample group, and the average value is recorded in Table 1.

[0099] 2. High-temperature storage and aging resistance: Referring to standard GB / T 7141-2008, the prepared bottle preforms were placed at a constant temperature of 70℃ for 28 days and then taken out. They were cooled and conditioned for 24 hours in a standard laboratory environment and internal pressure resistance test was carried out to obtain the retention rate of internal pressure resistance. Ten samples were tested in each sample group and the average value was recorded in Table 1.

[0100] 3. Low temperature impact resistance: Referring to the standard GB / T 1843-2008, the prepared bottle preforms were pretreated at -18℃ for 24 hours, and then impact tests were quickly carried out using a pendulum impact testing machine. The strength retention rate was obtained by comparing the impact strength with that before the test. Ten samples were tested in each sample group, and the average value was recorded in Table 1.

[0101] 4. Waterproof and moisture-resistant: Referring to standard GB / T 1034-2008, the standard sample made from the bottle body was weighed and then immersed in a constant temperature water bath at 80℃ for 30 days. Afterwards, it was taken out, dried, and weighed again to calculate the water absorption rate. Ten samples were tested for each sample group, and the average value was recorded in Table 1.

[0102] 5. Corrosion resistance of contents: Referring to standard GB / T 11547-2008, the standard sample was completely immersed in soybean edible oil at 60℃ for 14 days.

Check whether the bottle is broken or leaking. If there is no breakage or leakage, it is considered a pass; otherwise, it is considered a fail. 50 samples are tested in each group, and the pass rate is recorded in Table 1.

[0104] Table 1 Performance Test Results

[0105]

[0106] Based on the final examples and comparative performance test results, Examples 1-3, due to the addition of appropriate amounts of auxiliary polymerization composition and composite additives as specified in this application, enhanced the connection strength with PET molecules, forming a stronger interfacial bond. The rigid components and flexible segments respectively improved the heat resistance, dimensional stability, and low-temperature brittleness resistance of the products, and effectively strengthened the intermolecular connections to repair and extend the molecular chain structure, increasing the molecular weight and melt strength of the material. As a result, the mechanical properties of the final product, such as pressure resistance and rigidity, were significantly improved.

[0107] Comparative Examples 1-3, due to the lack of specific technical solutions, resulted in an imbalance in the effects of the polymer composition and composite additives in the PET system, failing to achieve their optimal performance and leading to a significant decline in corresponding properties. Comparative Examples 4-7, on the other hand, did not employ suitable selection and proportioning schemes for the polymer composition and composite additives, resulting in an inability to achieve optimal synergistic effects and ultimately impacting the final properties of the produced PET preforms.
