Description

DESCRIPTION
FIBER REINFORCED POLYURETHANE
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a unique blend of fibers for fiber reinforced polyurethane composites.
BACKGROUND ART Reaction-injection-molding (RIM) systems have become increasingly important for the production of many commercially useful products such as automobile fascias. However, many of the reactive systems employed to date contain extensive polyurethane linkages which have relatively low heat distortion temperatures and lack the flexural modulus and tensile strength necessary for many applications. The chemistry of these reactive systems involves the use of a polyisocyanate "A side" and a "B side" employing a mixture of compounds containing isocyanate-reactive hydrogens. Those "B side" components generally include one or more hydroxyl-functional polyols. The polyol components react with the isocyanate to form urethane linkages.
More recently, the use of RRIM for interior automotive parts has been investigated. In the wake of ever increasing standards for increasing fuel efficiency, the industry is continuously seeking means to reduce the weight of automotive parts while maintaining necessary functional strength. Accordingly, for interior body parts where flexural modulus, tensile strength, and impact resistance requirements are not as stringent as in exterior body panels, low density RRIM parts have been investigated as alternatives to heavier weight metal, wood fiber, ABS and PP interior parts. One recent solution for providing low weight, low density rigid
RRIM components employing flake glass filler dispersed through a matrix comprising the reaction product of an isocyanate component and a polyol component. The search, however, for low cost materials that have higher flexural strength continues.

The polyurethane of this invention varies widely. Generally, it is a thermoplastic polymer produced by the condensation reaction of a polyisocyanate and a hydroxyl-containing material, e.g., a polyol derived from propylene oxide or trichlorobutylene oxide. The basic polymer unit is formed as follows: RT NCO + R2OH → RT NHCOOR;,.
The organic polyisocyanates which may be employed for the "A side" component include aromatic, aliphatic, and cycloaliphatic polyisocyanates and combinations thereof. Representative of these types are the diisocyanates such as m-phenylene diisocyanate, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, mixtures of 2,4- and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, tetramethylene diisocyanate, cyclohexane-1 ,4-diisocyanate, hexahydrotoluene diisocyanate (and isomers), naphthalene-1 ,5-diisocyanate, 1 -methoxyphenyl-2,4- diisocyanate, 2,2'-, 2,4'-, and 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 4,4'- biphenylene diisocyanate, 3,3'-dimethoxy-4,4'-biphenyl diisocyanate, and 3,3'-dimethyldiphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate;thetriisocyanatessuch as 4,4',4"-triphenylmethane triisocyanate, and toluene 2,4,6- triisocyanate; and the tetraisocyanates such as 4,4'- d imethyld iphenylmethane 2, 2 '-5 , 5 '-tetraisocyanate; and polymericpolyisocyanates such as polymethylene polyphenylene polyisocyanate. Especially useful due to their availability and properties are 4,4'-diphenylmethanediisocyanateand polymethylene polyphenylene polyisocyanate.
Preferably used are the easily accessible, optionally uretonimine- carbodiimide and urethane group-containing aromatic di- and polyisocyanates such as 2,2'-, 2,4'-, 4,4'- diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), as well as any desired mixtures of these isomers, and mixtures of 2,2'-, 2,4% 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and polyphenyl polymethylene polyisocyanates (crude MDI).

Examples of the polyol component (b) include an alkylene diol such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol; and a polyester diol such as an esterification product of an excess amount of an alkylene diol with a dicarboxylic acid or its anhydride.
The unique blend of fibers of this invention is a combination of small fibers and long fibers. The small fibers range in length from lengths almost too short to measure up to 1/4 inch. Generally, the short fibers have a length ranging from 1 /64 inch to 1 /4 inch. More specifically, the length of the short fibers range from 1 /32 inch to 1/4 inch. Preferably, the length of the short fibers ranges from 1 /16 to 1 /8 inch. Typically, these fibers have a diameter ranging from 1 to 10 microns. Preferably, the diameter ranges from 2 to 6 microns.
Suitable small fibers for use include glass fibers, preferably milled glass fibers, and other inorganic or organic fibers. Suitable milled glass fibers, for example, can be obtained by hammer milling longer glass fibers. Examples of the inorganic fibers include mineral fibers having the appropriate dimensions. Examples of organic fibers include nylon, aramid, and other such fibers having the appropriate dimensions. The milled glass fibers and mineral fibers are preferred. The composition of the glass fibers are the same as the long fibers herein. The mineral fibers may be naturally occurring fibers such as wollastonite. Man-made mineral fibers are produced according to well-known methods, such as fiberization through a spinning disk fiberizer. Most mineral fibers are produced from raw materials such as iron blast furnace slag, cooper refinery slag, or lead blast furnace slag. These raw materials are readily available, and mineral fibers are therefore generally very economical to use.
The long fibers generally are greater than 1 /4 inch in length and may range up to 6 inches in length. Generally, the long fibers range in length from 1 /2 inch to 2 inches. While the diameter can vary widely, it generally ranges from 10 to 30 microns. Preferably, the diameter ranges from 10 to 20 microns.
Regarding composition, the long fibers may be glass fibers, mineral fibers or organic fibers with glass fibers being preferred. The preferred glass fibers consist primarily of oxides of silicon, but oxides of other minerals such as magnesium and aluminum are often present in relatively low concentrations. Glass fibers known as K, L and M filaments are readily available in the industry and fall within this range of dimensions. A variety of fiber choppers may be used to chop glass fiber rovings to the short or long lengths of this invention. U.S. patent applications Serial No. 09/080,570 and Serial No. 09/080,574, both filed on May 18,
1998 show fiber choppers in greater detail and are herein incorporated by reference.
The amount of small fibers in the composition of this invention ranges from 5 to 20 weight percent based on the weight of the composition. The amount of long fibers in the composition of this invention ranges from 5 to 30 weight percent based on the weight of the composition.

Methods of manufacturing RRIM moldings are well known in the art. The resin components are mixed and maintained at tank temperatures from 70° F to 95°F, preferably from 85°F to 95°F to reduce the viscosity of the resin. The isocyanate component "A" and the resin component "B" are impingement mixed at pressures around 2,000 psi and injected at about atmospheric pressure into an open mold which is subsequently shut and clamped at or about 150-200 psi into a closed mold. The mold is preheated from 100°F to 180°F, preferably from
130°F to 160°F, more preferably around 145°F and may contain a substrate such as vinyl laid up on a mold surface. Example The samples of low density RRIM compositions of this invention were made on a Hennecke compression mold. Heated mold halves having the dimensions of a conventional door panel were used.
The four variables chosen to conduct the fractional factorial design experiment were mold temperature, fiber loading, ratio index and density.
