Description

(54) METHOD OF MAKING LIGHTWEIGHT, RIGID, THERMOPLASTICS PIPE (71) We, BORG-WARNER CORPORATION, a Corporation duly organised and existing under the and by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware having its principal office and place of business at 200 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago Illinois, U.S.A., do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described, in and by the following statement:- The present invention relates to a method of making lightweight, rigid thermoplastics pipe and tubing and the product made thereby. Thermoplastics pipe made of unfoamed plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and graft acrylonitrilebutadient-styrene(ABS) is sold in huge quantities for use in water supply, sanitary and storm pipes, as well as many other applications. One great advantage of the thermoplastics pipe is that it is lighter in weight then the pipe it usually replaces or displaces; another advantage is its ease of fabrication into fluid systems. Its structural integrity is good for many applications, but improvement is desired in other applications.
During the past twenty (20) years, thermoplastics containing a foaming agent have found acceptance in many industries, but the use of foamable thermoplastics for many pipe applications is limited due to the fluid leakage problems with foamed thermoplastics pipe, or by costly and inefficient methods of making the pipe resistant to leakage.
For many applications a desirable pipe is a smooth surfaced, fluid impervious pipe of a thickness to give it good structural integrity but light enough to have the lightweight and ease of fabrication advantages of plastics pipe. A simple, inexpensive and improved method of making such a pipe and the pipe made by such method is the subject matter of this invention.
The present invention provides a method of making a lightweight, rigid thermoplastics pipe having unfoamed interior and exterior surface layers and a foamed intermediate layer, the method comprising heating a first thermoplastics material in a first extruder, heating a second thermoplastics material containing a heat decomposable chemical foaming agent in a second extruder to a temperature at least equal to the decomposition temperature of the foaming agent, feeding said first thermoplastics material and said second thermoplastics material simultaneously and respectively through separate passages of a pipe die head, dividing said first thermoplastics material into two streams to form the interior and exterior surface layers of the pipe, the chemical foaming agent of said second thermoplastics material decomposing as a result of said heating step but said second thermoplastics material remaining in a foamable but unfoamed state due to pressures within said second extruder and the pipe die head until the pressure is reduced as the second thermoplastics material leaves said die head, whereby the solid interior and exterior surface layers of the pipe and the foamed intermediate layer thereof are formed simultaneously.
The exterior and interior surface layers and the foamed intermediate layer are preferably of the same thermoplastics material. The foamed intermediate layer may, however, be of a different plastics provided it is compatible with the plastics used for the exterior and interior surface layers.
The thermoplastics material(s) utilized in making the pipe may be ABS, PVC, phenylene oxide polymer, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polybutylene or combinations thereof. The second, or foamable, thermoplastics material which forms the foamed intermediate layer contains a heat decomposable chemical foaming or blowing agent which is incorporated into 2 thermoplastics material prior to charging the second thermoplastics material to the second extruder. Suitable foaming agents are bicarbonate of soda and citric acid, azodicarbonanide and the N-nitroso compunds. Modern Plastics Encyclopedia, 1975-1976, at pages 127-129, discloses other chemical foaming agents which can be utilized in making foamed thermoplastics materials.
The apparatus employed for carrying out the method of the present invention comprises first and second extruders, connected to a single die head having multiple passages for receiving and forming the thermoplastics materials discharged by the extruders.
The method of the invention will be described in more detail by reference to the drawings wherein: Figure 1 is a sectional view of an extrusion die used in making a pipe; and Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the pipe as it exits the extrusion die of Figure 1.
Disclosed in Figure 1 is an extrusion die head utilized for carrying out the method of the present invention and designated generally by the reference numeral 10. The head 10 comprises an adapter member 11, a die plate 12 and a forming die 13. The adapter member 11 comprises a housing 11' having openings 14 and 15 which are attached respectively to the discharge end of two screw extruders (not shown). An inlet plate 16 is provided in the housing 11' and contains an opening 17 and a diverter plug or mandrel 18. A plurality of passageways 19 are in communication with the openings 17 and 14.
The opening 15 in the housing 11' is in communication with a passageway 21 which in turn is in communication with passageways 22 and 23. The passageways 23 communicate with passageways 25 provided in a flow restrictor 26. Passageway 22 is formed by a bore in the housing 11' and a bore in a nozzle element 22'. A restriction 26' is formed by the interior surface of the flow restrictor 26 and the exterior surface cf the nozzle 22'.
The die plate 12 contains a mandrel or spreader 27 and a die orifice 18. The forming die contains a tubular passageway 29 and is heated and/or cooled by fluid passages 31 which are connected to a conventional heat exchanger (not shown).
In the utilization of the head 10 to carry out the present invention to form the pipe 32 of Figure 2, which pipe has unfoamed interior and exterior surface layers 33, 34 and a foamed intermediate layer 35, a first thermoplastics material, which has been heated to its melt temperature in a first extruder (not shown), enters the opening 15 and passes through the passageway 21 and to the passageways 22 and 23. A portion of the first thermoplastics material passes through passageway 23 to the manifold 24, thence through the passageways 25, through the restriction 25', the die orifice 28 and through the tubular passageway 29 of the forming die 13 to form the exterior surface layer 34 of pipe 32. At the same time, another portion of the first thermoplastics material flows from passageway 21 through passageway 22, by spreader 27, through the die orifice 28 and the passageway 29 of the forming die 13 to form the interior surface layer 33 of a pipe 32.
Simultaneously, a foamable thermoplastics material is discharged from a second extruder (not shown) into the opening 14 and passes through the opening 17, past the diverter plug 18, through the passageways 19, through the restriction 26' and thence through the centre of the die orifice 28 and the passageway 29 of the forming die 13, to form the intermediate layer 35 of the pipe 32.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention is the manufacture of the pipe 32 made of a graft polymer of acrylonitrilebutadiene-styrene (ABS) having unfoamed interior and exterior surface layers 33, 34 of ABS and a foamed ABSC intermediate layer 35. Molten ABS containing no foaming agent and at a temperature of 400"F enters the opening 15 under pressure from the first extruder and passes through the passageways 22 and 23 and their communicating passageways, through the die orifice 28 and forming orifice 29 to form the inner and outer surface layers 33, 34, respectively, of the pipe 32. The ABS is in pellet form and is a product prepared by polymerising 25 parts by weight acrylonitrile and 45 parts by weight styrene in the presence of 30 parts by weight of polybutadiene. A batch of the same ABS was made into a foamable compound by compounding therein 0.3 parts per hundred of azodicarbonamide at a temperature below the decomposition temperature (about 385"F to about 400"F) of the azodicarbonamide. The compounded, foamable ABS composition was then pelletized and charged to the second extruder wherein it was heated progressively to a temperature of 400"F. At this temperature, the composition was molten and the azodicarbonamide had decomposed. The composition, however, had not completely "foamed" due to the inherent pressures in the extruder.
The molten and foamable ABS enters the opening 14 of the adapter member 11 and passes, still under pressure, through the opening 17, the openings 19, the restriction 26' and the centre of the die orifice 28 to form the intermediate layer 35 of the pipe 32. As the coextruded solid and foamable ABS leaves the die orifice 28, it enters the passageway 29 of the forming die where the intermediate layer of foamable ABS expands due to a reduction in pressure, thus forming the pipe 32 with its unfoamed interior and exterior surface layers 33, 34 and its foamed intermediate layer 35.
While the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described with respect to the manufacture of ABS pipe having a foamed intermediate layer, the invention is applicable to the manufacture of pipes of other thermoplastics materials such as PVC, phenylene oxide polymers, polycarbonates, polyethylenes, polypropylene, polystyrene and polybutylene. It is also contemplated that the foamed intermediate layer can be made of one thermoplastics material and the interior and exterior surface layers of another thermoplastics material.
Azodicarbonamide was used in the preferred embodiment for foaming the intermediate ABS layer of the pipe.
However, it is contemplated that other chemical foaming agents can be employed.
Modern Plastics Encyclopedia, 1975-1976, at pages 127-129, discloses the use of azodicarbonamide as a foaming agent as well as many other chemical foaming agents suitable for use in carrying out the present invention.
Also, while a particular die head 10 has been described as one means for carrying out the present method, other die heads as well as other feed means to the openings 14 and 15 can be employed.
