Résumé : |
In industrial practice, CO2 has so far only partially established itself as a blowing agent in foam sheet production because it is poorly soluble in plastics and therefore requires high process pressures. However, co-blowing agents can increase the solubility of carbon dioxide, so that lower pressures and lower temperatures are sufficient for processing. |
Note de contenu : |
- IKV foam extrusion pilot line : two injection ports for CO2 (front) and co-blowing agents (back) are used for foaming with blowing agent mixtures
- Fig. 1 : Inline rheometer die with inspection window, bypass outlet, pressure transducers and adjustable die gap. Sketched are also emerging gas bubbles
- Fig. 2 : IKV foam extrusion line : long single-screw extruder with direct injection of blowing agent, static mixer and annular sheet die
- Fig. 3 : Solubility of the blowing agent mixture as a function of the co-blowing agent concentration : solubility increases with increasing proportion of the more soluble co-blowing agent
- Fig. 4 : Foaming pressure as a function of the blowing agent concentration : blowing agent mixtures allow lower foaming pressure to be used
- Fig. 5 : Viscosity of the gas-loaded melt as a function of the co-blowing agent quantity : the viscosity decreases with increasing blowing agent content and increasing molar co-blowing agent quantity in the polymer melt
- Fig. 6 : Nucleation density for a blowing agent mixture of 2.5 wt. % CO2 and 0.5 wt. % ethanol as a function of the reduced die pressure p*: with increasing nucleation density the structure is more fine-celled |
