Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition containing an odor neutralizing agent, a method for preparing the composition, and the use of the odor neutralizing agent. [Background technology]

[0002] Setting aside haptics, odor is an essential factor influencing the success of consumer products. For example, if the plastic materials or components in an automobile interior have a subjectively unpleasant odor, it can negatively impact purchasing decisions. Furthermore, many plastic products must meet stringent requirements regarding chemical emissions. Therefore, minimizing the emission of odors from plastics is a matter of concern for plastics processors and compounders.

[0003] There are many causes of odor. In many cases, the odor is not caused by the plastic itself, but by residual low-molecular-weight substances that remain after the plastic is prepared. Additives mixed into the plastic during manufacturing, such as processing aids, stabilizers, fibers, or fillers, can also cause unpleasant odors. Furthermore, the manufacturing and further processing of plastic-containing materials can also generate substances that produce unpleasant odors, for example, as a result of thermal decomposition.

[0004] The risk of odor emissions increases further when recycled plastics or mixtures of recycled and new materials are used as starting materials, rather than using only newly manufactured plastic materials. Recycled plastic materials from used waste contain odor-causing substances, which are often not completely removed during processing. Packaging waste often contains typical metabolites of microorganisms that produce cheese-like and excrement-like odors.

[0005] Many attempts have been made to reduce the odor of plastic parts. For example, International Publication No. 2017 / 060171 describes the use of inorganic additives, particularly silicate materials. Diatomaceous earth and calcium silicate are explicitly mentioned.

[0006] There is a need for further options for reducing plastic odors, which in some embodiments may be superior to known options. [Overview of the project]

[0007] The object of this invention is to provide corresponding methods and products.

[0008] This objective is achieved by a composition comprising a material consisting of plastic and further components, and an odor neutralizer containing calcium silicate hydrate. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] In principle, all types of plastics can be used as the aforementioned plastics. Particularly suitable plastics include polyolefins, especially polyethylene and its copolymers and modified forms, polypropylene and its copolymers, polybutyne, polyisobutylene, polymethylpentene, and cycloolefin copolymers, poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(vinyl chloride) modified forms, styrene homopolymers and styrene copolymers, polyacrylates, especially polyacrylonitrile and its copolymers, and poly(methyl methacrylate) and its copolymers and blends, polyacetal, fluoroplastics, polyamides, thermoplastic polyesters, especially polycarbonate, poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(butylene terephthalate), polyarylsulfone and polyarylsulfide, polyetherketone, polyimide, and copolyimide, thermosetting polycondensates, especially phenolic resins, and urea / formaldehyde plastics. The following materials are selected from the group consisting of: melamine / formaldehyde plastics, unsaturated polyester resins, alkyd resins, and silicones; thermosetting polyadducts, particularly epoxy resins, polyurethanes, particularly crosslinked polyurethanes, and thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers; elastomer polymers, particularly natural rubber, butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, chlorobutadiene rubber, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, hydrogenated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, butyl rubber, ethylene oxide-epichlorohydrin rubber, acrylate rubber, ethylene acrylate rubber, fluororubber, and perfluororubber; biopolymers, particularly polylactic acid, cellulose and cellulose derivatives, lignin-based thermoplasts, thermosetting materials mainly composed of renewable raw materials, and natural fiber composites, as well as mixtures thereof.

[0010] The compositions according to the present invention always relate to plastics containing further components. The combination of plastic and further components is referred to as a “material.”

[0011] Typical further components include, in particular, fillers, especially mineral fillers, inorganic and organic fibers, plastic additives (lubricants, antiblocking agents, mold release agents, antioxidants, photoprotective agents, heat stabilizers, foam stabilizers, antistatic agents, antifogging additives, slip additives, flame retardants, colorants, effect pigments, fluorescent dyes, laser marking additives, impact modifiers, softeners, adhesion promoters, propellants, nucleating agents, clarifying agents, acid scavengers, antimicrobial additives, antiviral additives, antifungal agents, etc.), contaminants resulting from the manufacture, preparation, further processing and use of materials, and mixtures thereof.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plastic, or preferably the material, is composed of recycled plastic, either entirely or partially.

[0013] Recycled plastics can be pure type, pure grade, similar grade, mixed, or contaminated.

[0014] "Pure type" means that only one type of plastic with the same type name from the same raw material manufacturer is processed.

[0015] "Pure grade" means that the plastic is processed from plastics bearing the same name in accordance with DIN EN ISO 11469 or VDA260, but may originate from different manufacturers.

[0016] "Similar grade" plastics refer to plastics that share the same basic polymer processing but possess different properties (e.g., flame retardant additives).

[0017] A "mixture" refers to a product made from various plastics that possess chemical miscibility. These plastics are considered miscible only if they can be uniformly mixed during the melting process and processed into a molded structure with satisfactory mechanical properties and an acceptable surface finish.

[0018] "Contaminated products" means that the plastic to be processed contains other materials that have an adverse effect on the properties of the molded parts manufactured therefrom. Such contaminated plastics mainly originate from household waste and commercial waste.

[0019] Neutralization of odors is achieved by an odor neutralizer containing calcium silicate hydrate.

[0020] Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) includes both natural minerals and synthetic minerals, such as xonotlite. From a formal perspective, calcium silicate hydrate is a hydrated product of calcium silicate. Calcium silicate hydrate is usually characterized by the molar ratio of CaO to SiO2 (C / S ratio). In this calculation, the water content is not considered for the characterization.

[0021] Preferably, the calcium silicate hydrate is crystalline calcium silicate hydrate.

[0022] Typical known calcium silicate hydrates are

[0023] a) Nesosilicates (orthosilicates with additional anions), such as afwillite, bartonfountaineite, α-C2SH, and reinhardbraunsite,

[0024] b) Sorosilicates, such as dellaite, kiralite, jaffeite, kilchoanite, and C8S5,

[0025] c) Inosilicates (chain silicates), such as tobermorite, clinotobermorite, jennite, xonotlite, foshagite, and hillebrandite,

[0026] d) Mixtures of layered silicates and chain silicates, such as okkenite,

[0027] e) Phyllosilicates (layered silicates), such as cateite, truscottite, K phase and Z phase, and layered silicates having (CO3) groups, such as scottite, fukalite, chelite, and sparlite.

[0028] That is the case.

[0029] 20m 2 / g or more, preferably 30m 2 It was found that calcium silicate hydrate having a BET specific surface area of ​​800 m² / g or more is preferable. Preferably, the BET specific surface area is 800 m². 2 The amount should be less than or equal to / g, preferably 50m 2 It is less than / g.

[0030] Particularly preferred calcium silicate hydrates include xonotlite and tobermorite, as well as mixtures thereof.

[0031] Preferably, the C / S ratio is in the range of 0.6 to 1.4, more preferably in the range of 0.8 to 1.2.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the odor neutralizer further comprises a polysaccharide and / or an adhesion promoter.

[0033] Preferably, the polysaccharide has one of the following characteristics.

[0034] a) The polysaccharide has at least a partially helical structure,

[0035] b) The polysaccharide has an average molecular weight of more than 10,000 g / mol, particularly more than 100,000 g / mol, and / or

[0036] c) The polysaccharide is starch, a starch derivative, or a mixture thereof.

[0037] Suitable polysaccharides include, for example, natural tapioca starch, waxy corn starch (both from FH Dietrich & Ludwig Post), nasturtium pea starch (from Georg Breuer), Amylogen 03003 natural starch (from Cargill), Emwaxy 100 and Emfloc KC750 (both from Emsland Stärke), or mixtures thereof.

[0038] Suitable adhesion promoters include, in particular, compounds that are functional silanes. Preferably, each silicon atom of the functional silane has at least one alkoxy group bonded to it. Furthermore, the functional silane may have an amino group, alkyl group, epoxy group, alkoxy group, alkenyl group, alkynyl group, aryl group, fluoroalkyl group, carbonyl group, carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, acrylic group, and / or methacrylic group. Preferred adhesion promoters include tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) or tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), or mixtures thereof.

[0039] Preferably, the odor neutralizing agent is included in an amount suitable for reducing the odor by 0.5 units or more, preferably 1.0 unit or more, and particularly 1.5 units or more, of VDA270.

[0040] A typical composition according to the present invention is:

[0063] In other embodiments, the composition specifies a suitable final product.

[0064] In a typical masterbatch, the material content is 10-50% by weight, and accordingly, the odor neutralizer content is 50-90% by weight.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment of the above method, the odor neutralizer components are either directly mixed with the material or uniformly pre-mixed with the material. Preferably, the adhesion promoter is first applied to the calcium silicate hydrate.

[0070] The present invention also relates to the use of an odor neutralizer comprising calcium silicate hydrate for the neutralization of odors in materials comprising plastics, recycled plastics, or mixtures thereof, and in particular, optionally, the odor neutralizer further comprises polysaccharides and / or adhesion promoters.
