[0094] Embodiments of the invention

[0095] The composition of the present invention comprises a polymer, a volatile organic compound, and adsorbent particles.

[0096] Herein, the terms "the composition", "the film", and "composite structure" refer to "the composition according to the present invention", "the film according to the present invention", and "composite structure according to the present invention", respectively, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Similarly, the terms "the VOC" and "the adsorbent particles" refer to "the VOC contained in the composition according to the present invention", and "the adsorbent particles contained in the composition of the present invention", respectively, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

[0097] In one aspect, the adsorbent particles are defined by two alternative embodiments: embodiment (i): the adsorbent particles have a pore size of more than 1 nm; embodiment (ii): the adsorbent particles are adsorbent particles of a silica-alumina containing compound having a silica / alumina ratio of lower than 30.

[0098] In one aspect, the adsorbent particles may meet the requirement of embodiment (i) but not embodiment (ii). Hence, adsorbent particles are covered regardless of their pores size. For instance, embodiment (i) not only covers particles of glass or eggshell, but also particles of a silica-alumina containing compound having a silica / alumina ratio of higher than 30. The adsorbent particles may meet the requirement of embodiment (ii) but not embodiment (i). Hence, adsorbent particles are covered regardless of their pores size. Alternatively, the adsorbent particles such as some natural zeolites may meet the requirements of both embodiment (i) and (ii). In the claims and in the aspects of the invention, a backreference may refer to either one or both embodiments. Unless explicitly indicated otherwise, the description of the present invention refers to both embodiments.

[0099] In one aspect, the polymer containing in the composition may be any polymer such as a polyolefin, polyurethane, or polyvinyl chloride. In one embodiment, the polymer is polyvinyl chloride and the composition contains a plasticizer and / or a stabilizer.

[0100] In the present invention, the pore size, the pore size distribution, and the total pore area of the particles are measured by mercury porosimetry, the particle size distribution (PSD) of the particles is measured by Laser Diffraction spectroscopy (LDS), and the BET surface area and the pore volume of particles are determined by nitrogen adsorption.

[0101] Whenever it is mentioned in the context of this description that individual compositions or elements are "made of" a material, this should be interpreted to mean that the content of the material is more than 50 mass%, preferably more than 90 % by weight, and more preferably more than 95 % by weight.

[0102] As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" may be intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For instance, a volatile organic compound is meant to include more than one species of volatile organic compounds, unless indicated otherwise. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. The terms "comprising", "containing", and "having" are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0103] Herein, the indication of a specific value of a size such as pore size or particle size or a specific range thereof means that at least 50% of the pores or particles, respectively, have the specific value or fall within the specific range, unless explicitly indicated otherwise.

[0104] The standards and norms mentioned refer to the latest version available at the time this application was filed, unless indicated otherwise.

[0105] In the present invention, percentages (%) are percentages by mass (% by mass) unless explicitly indicated otherwise, and the silica / alumina ratio is a molar ratio unless explicitly indicated otherwise.

[0106] The term "bio" characterizes a compound containing carbon that is not derived from a fossil source. The compounds can be distinguished by means of the carbon-14 content.

[0107] Specifically, compounds derived from a fossil source have a carbon-14 content of zero, whereas "bio" compounds have a carbon-14 content of at least 99 % of the current natural carbon-14 content. Adsorbent particles

[0108] The adsorbent particles have pores that render the adsorbent particles capable of adsorbing the volatile organic component. The adsorbents used in the present invention include diatomaceous earth, clinoptilolite, eggshell, and glass. Eggshell is obtained from a renewable source and is an industry waste agro-food. In one embodiment, particles of eggshell are excluded as the adsorbent particles. The glass may be recycled glass.

[0109] The adsorbent particles of embodiment (ii) mandatorily are, and the adsorbent particles of embodiment (i) may be particles of silica-alumina-containing compounds. These compounds contain silica and alumina in their molecular structure. In other words, the molecular structure contains silicon oxides and aluminium oxides. These compounds are exemplified by zeolites and may herein jointly be referred to as "zeolites". These compounds may be defined by their silica / alumina ratio, i.e., the molar ratio of silicon and aluminium oxides.

[0110] Synthetic zeolites cover a very broad range of the silica / alumina ratio of up to 1000. In contrast thereto, natural silica-alumina-containing compounds have narrower ranges of the silica / alumina ratio. An example of the natural compound usable in the present invention is diatomaceous earth, which may have a particle size of 1 pm to 3 mm, typically 10 to 200 pm, and contain 80 to 90 % of silica and 2 to 4% of alumina. Another example is clinoptilolite, which may have a silica / alumina ratio of about 5.

[0111] Examples of specific adsorbent particles used herein are the following: synthetic zeolites: pore sizes of 0.4-21 nm, silica / alumina ratio of 1 to 25; diatomaceous earth: pore size of 18 nm, silica / alumina ratio of 28; clinoptilolite: pore size of 16 nm; silica / alumina ratio of 10; glass: pore size of 21 nm, silica / alumina ratio not applicable; eggshell: pore size of 31 nm, silica / alumina ratio not applicable.

[0113] A VOC is defined as any organic compound with an initial boiling point that is less than or equal to 250°C at an atmospheric pressure of 101.3 kPa.

[0114] Examples of VOCs are carbon-containing substances including hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, phenols, esters, and organic acids but excluding carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides, carbonates, and ammonium carbonate. Specific examples are propane, butane, methyl chloride, formaldehyde, d-limonene, toluene, acetone, acetophenone, ethanol (ethyl alcohol) 2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol), hexanal, plasticizers (phthalates), and fire retardants (PCBs, PBB).

[0115] VOCs may be contained in the additives of the composition. Examples of additives are a plasticizer, a stabilizer, a filler, a flame retardant, a color pigment, a stabilizer, a lubricant, an ultraviolet absorber, a light stabilizer, an antioxidant, an antibacterial agent, and a foaming agent. VOCs are typically contained in a plasticizer and / or a stabilizer, which are commonly used to improve the properties of the polymer-containing composition, film, and composite structure.

[0116] Plasticizers and stabilizers

[0117] Examples of plasticizers are phthalate-based plasticizers, which impart resistance to water and oils, such as bis(2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), diisoundecyl phthalate (DIUP), ditridecyl phthalate (DTDP), bis(2- ethylhexyl)terephthalate (DEHT, Dioctyl terephthalate, DOTP), Diisopentyl terephthalate (DiPT), dibutyl terephthalate (DBT); trimellitates, which impart resistance to high temperature and are commonly used in automobile interiors, such as (TOTM, Trioctyl Trimellitate plasticizer), tri-(isononyl)trimellitate (TINTM), tri-(isodecyl)trimellitate (TIDTM), and tri-(isotridecyl)trimellitate (TITDTM); adipate-based plasticizers, which impart low- temperature or resistance to ultraviolet light, such as bis(2-ethylhexyl)adipate (DEHA, dioctyl adipate plasticizer); sebacate-based plasticizers, which impart superior properties at low temperatures, and good oil resistivity, such as dibutyl sebacate (DBS), di-(2- ethylhexyl)sebacate, and di-octyl sebacate (or DOS plasticizer); organophosphates such as tricresyl phosphate (TCP), 2-ethylhexyldiphenyl phosphate, and tri-2-ethylhexyl phosphate; bio-based plasticizers such as glycerol triacetate (Triacetin) and acetyltributylcitrate, and plasticizers derived from natural oils. Epoxidized soybean oil may be used as a secondary plasticizer. The plasticizers may be used singly or as a combination of two or more.

[0118] Stabilizers may be added to the polymer, particularly PVC, to improve its properties such as heat ageing. Examples of stabilizers are organic epoxy stabilizers, calcium-zinc stabilizers and combinations thereof.

[0119] Examples

[0120] Example 1

[0121] A reference film containing PVC and a plasticizer was produced. The other films were identical to the reference film with the exception that adsorbent particles were added as shown in Table 1. The size of the adsorbent particles was in the range of 4 to 16 pm. The particles of the diatomaceous earth and the particles of the synthetic zeolite had similar specific surface area. Table 1

[0122] The results show an advantageous effect of the composition of embodiment (i) containing adsorbent particles of a pore size of more than 1 nm, since the same added amount of adsorbent particles of diatomaceous earth or glass resulted in a decreased VOC emission in comparison to a zeolite having a low pore size.

[0123] The results also show an advantageous effect of the composition of embodiment (ii) containing adsorbent particles having a silica / alumina ratio of lower than 30, since the same added amount of adsorbent particles of diatomaceous earth resulted in a decreased VOC emission in comparison to a zeolite having a silica / alumina ratio of more than 30.

[0124] Example 2

[0125] The diatomaceous earth used in Example 1 was used as an adsorbent in a composite structure shown in Table 2. The foam layer and the compact layer were made of PVC containing a plasticizer.

[0126] Table 2 The samples of the Examples and the sample of the Comparative Example did not differ from each other in terms of other physical properties such as adhesion between textile layer and coating, bending force, flexing endurance, stick-slip behaviour, and burning rate, and all samples met the requirements in respect of these physical properties for use in the interior of vehicles.
