Dispersion of homopolymer of vinyl chloride
Preparation process for the dispersion of homopolymer of vinyl chloride with high content of free hydroxyl as adhesive, more precisely, the current patent comes to be the invention of the preparation process for the dispersion of homopolymer of vinyl chloride with high content of free hydroxyl as adhesive where it is used an homopolymer of vinyl chloride of high molecular weight which reacts with a vegetable plasticizer, polyarilic glycolic triester based, biodegradable and non-toxic, in order to reach a certain content of free hydroxyl controlled by the balance of a vegetable ethoxylate surfactant, thus providing, an extreme adherence over different polymeric substrates, or not, due to the high intermolecular forces ‘Van Der Waals’ which indicate the dimension of the action on the surface.
1. A method of producing an adhesive comprising:
preparing a dispersion of a homopolymer of vinyl chloride and a plasticizer,
wherein the plasticizer is a biodegradable, non-toxic polyaryilic glycolic triester plasticizer,
wherein the dispersion includes a high content of free hydroxyl,
wherein the dispersion comprises:
(i) a PVC homopolymer with K in the range from 65 to 75;
(ii) an ethoxylate fatty alcohol having from 10 to 40 mols;
(iii) an ecologic plasticizer; and
(iv) a stabilizer;
adding an anti-static;
enabling the dispersion to reach a certain content of free hydroxyl by addition of an ethoxylate fatty alcohol surfactant; and
maintaining pH in the range of 6 of 8 to obtain a homogenous dispersion,
wherein the stabilizer reaches an HLB of 8-10,
wherein the dispersion produces an extreme adherence over a plurality of polymeric and non-polymeric substrates.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersion comprises from 25 to 35 parts of the PVC homopolymer.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersion comprises from 50 to 50 parts of the ethoxylate fatty alcohol.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersion comprises from 10 to 20 parts of the plasticizer.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersion comprises from 1 to 2 parts of the stabilizer.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the preparation of the dispersion further comprises incorporating the plasticizer on the homopolymer.
7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the dispersion is configured for application on a plurality of substrates selected from the group consisting of: vinyl laminates, polyester substrate, low/high grammage paper substrate, natural cloth or mixed fiber substrate, polyethylene substrate, polypropylene substrate, aramid substrate and high density polyethylene substrate.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the homopolymer of vinyl chloride has a high molecular weight.
