Description

CELLULOSIC, INORGANIC-FILLED PLASTIC COMPOSITE
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.
60/113,987, filed December 28, 1998.
BACKGROUND AND SUNINIARY OF THE INVENTION
The application relates generally to cellulose-reinforced composites and, more particularly, S to a cellulosic, inorganic-filled plastic composite.
There is a very high demand for wood products. Although wood is a renewable resource, it takes many years for trees to mature. Consequently, the supply of wood suitable for use in construction is decreasing. Therefore, there is a need to develop alternatives to the use of wood m construction.
Cellulosic materials, such as wood fiber, wood flour, sawdust, rice hulls, peanut shells, and the like, have long been added to thermoplastic compounds to achieve a wood-like composite providing reinforcement, reduced coefficient of expansion, and cost reduction.
Process methods have been developed to enable blends containing materials having low bulk density (i.e., powders) and poor flow characteristics to be fed at commercially acceptable rates.
Blends of this type can be extruded through dies of the appropriate configuration to produce building product type shapes previously made from wood. For example, U.S. Patent Nos. 3,908,902, 4,091,153, 4,686,251, 4,708,623, 5,002,713, 5,055,247, 5,087,400, and 5,151,238 relate to processes for producing wood-like composites.
A major limitation of cellulosic fillers is the moisture sensitivity of cellulose fibers. This moisture sensitivity may require predrying of the cellulose fibers and the maintenance of low moisture conditions at the time of thermoplastic processing, particularly for cellulose in powder form. In addition, the moisture sensitivity of the cellulose fibers requires the exercise of special care during extrusion to ensure cellulosic encapsulation and/or protection against moisture absorption to avoid moisture deterioration of the cellulosic fibers.
Furthermore, the extrusion process can cause thermal degradation of the cellulose fibers.
In light of these shortcomings, there is a need for a cellulosic composite with improved moisture resistance characteristics. Another need exists for a cellulosic composite that is less susceptible to thermal degradation. A need also exists for an improved cellulosic composite that includes inorganic fillers. Yet another need exists for a cellulosic, inorganic-filled composite that can be used as a substitute for natural wood, particle board, wafer board, and the like.
The present invention satisfies some or all of these needs. One embodiment of the present invention is a cellulosic, inorganic-filled plastic composite. The composite is comprised of cellulosic material, talc, and polyethylene. More particularly, the cellulosic material accounts for about 30% to about 70% by weight of the composite, the talc is about 1% to about 20% by weight of the composite, and the polyethylene is about 25% to about 40% by weight of the composite.
The present invention also includes an extruded article that is produced by extruding the aforementioned cellulosic, inorganic-filled plastic composite. The composite used to make the extruded article may include any of the optional or preferred features of the above-described composite.
Another embodiment of the present invention is a method of extruding a cellulosic, inorganic-filled plastic composite profile. The method comprises introducing a cellulosic, inorganic-filled plastic composite into an extruder. The composite may possess any of the optional or preferred features of the above-described cellulosic, inorganic-filled plastic composite.
The composite is then melted and extruded through a profile die to form a profile. The profile is then cooled to achieve a final net shape.
In addition to the novel features and advantages mentioned above, other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS) The present invention is a cellulosic, inorganic-filled plastic composite. The present invention also includes an extruded article made from the composite as well as a method of extruding the composite to form a profile.
The present invention replaces a portion of the cellulosic material with an inorganic filler.
In broadest terms, the present invention includes a cellulosic, inorganic-filled plastic composite comprising about 30% by weight to about 70% by weight of the composite of cellulosic material, about 1% to about 20% by weight of the composite of talc, and about 25% to about 40% by weight of the composite of polyethylene.
The cellulosic material is preferably present in an amount in the range from about 40% to about 60% by weight of the composite, and more preferably from about 45% by weight to about SS% by weight. The talc is preferably present in an amount in the range from about 5% to about 1 S% by weight of the composite. In addition, the polyethylene is preferably high density polyethylene, and it is preferably present in an amount in the range from about 25% to about 3 S%
by weight of the composite. The combination of the at least one cellulosic material and the talc is preferably present in an amount in the range from about 50% to about 80% by weight of the composite, and more preferably from about 55% by weight to about 65% by weight.
Preferably, the cellulosic material is selected from wood fiber, seed husks, ground rice hulls, newspaper, kenaf, and coconut shells. More preferably, the cellulosic material is wood fiber. It should be recognized that wood fiber is available in different forms. Other specific examples of cellulosic material include sawdust, alfalfa, wheat pulp, wood chips, wood particles, ground wood, wood flour, wood flakes, wood veneers, wood laminates, paper, cardboard, straw, cotton, peanut shells, bagass, plant fibers, bamboo fiber, palm fiber, or any other similar materials.
Those skilled in the art should recognize that the cellulosic material of the present invention may be any suitable combination of different types of cellulosic material.
One preferred composite is comprised of about 50% to about SS% by weight of the composite of wood fiber, about 5% to about 10% by weight of the composite of talc, and about 30% to about 40% by weight of the composite of high density polyethylene.
Another preferred composite is comprised of about 50% to about 55% by weight of the composite of wood fiber, about 10% to about 15% by weight of the composite of talc, and about 25% to about 30% by weight of the composite of high density polyethylene.
The invention also includes an extruded article produced by extruding the cellulosic, inorganic-filled plastic composite. The invention also includes a method of extruding the composite to form a profile. The method comprises introducing the composite as described above into an extruder, melting the composite, extruding the composite through a profile die to form a profile, and cooling the profile.

The following charts help to illustrate the optional and preferred features of the composite of the present invention.

As indicated above, the composite of the present invention may include additives.
Examples of additives include lubricants, process aids, cross-linking agents, accelerators, inhibitors, enhancers, compatibilizers, stabilizers, blowing agents, foaming agents, and other additives known in the art. Common commercial lubricants known in the plastics processing industry, both external and internal, can be used. Examples of lubricants which can be used include calcium stearate, zinc stearate, esters, paraffin wax, and amide wax.
Examples of cross-linking agents include polyurethanes, such as isocyanates, phenolic resins, unsaturated polyesters, and epoxy resins.
A preferred embodiment of the composite can be made as follows. The wood fiber is preferably dried to between about 0. S% to about 3% in moisture content, and more preferably between about 1% and about 2% moisture by weight. The polyethylene is mixed with the dried wood fiber, talc, stabilizers, lubricants, and process aids in a low intensity mixer such as a ribbon blender. The mixture is preferably melted and processed in a conical, twin screw, counter-rotating extruder with a vent (for example, a Model CM80 extruder by Cincinnati Milacron). A
force feed hopper (i.e., a crammer) is preferred to feed the mixture into the extruder, although other types of hoppers (e.g., a gravity feed hopper) may be used. A vacuum is preferably applied to the vent to further reduce the moisture in the extrudate. The extruder preferably forces the composite through a die or die system to obtain a final profile shape.
The operating temperatures for the first two stages of the extruder may be about 380° F, while the last two stages, which are located after the vent, may be about 350° F. The die temperature is preferably about 350° F, and the screw temperature is preferably about 360° F.
Nevertheless, those skilled in the art should recognize that the temperatures of the extruder and the die may be varied to obtain optimum results for a particular extrusion.
The die design is preferably streamlined with a compaction ratio of between about 2:1 to about 4:1. It is preferred that the die system includes an extended die land.
The extended die land preferably provides the necessary back pressure to obtain a uniform melt, as well as compaction and shaping of the melt.
The resultant product has an appearance similar to wood and may be sawed, sanded, shaped, turned, fastened and/or finished in the same manner as natural wood.
The resultant product is resistant to rot and decay as well as termite attack. The resultant product may be used, for example, as decorative moldings inside or outside of a house, picture frames, furniture, porch decks, window moldings, window components, door components, roofing systems, and any other type of use where structural requirements do not exceed the physical properties of the resultant material.
Composites made according to the present invention offer several advantages over composites filled only with cellulosic material. For example, composites of the present invention show higher compound bulk density, higher extrusion rates, and less sensitivity to porosity. The composites of the present invention also show reduced moisture sensitivity in the extruded shape as well as reduced smoke and flame spread. In addition, the inorganic filler is readily available, and it has easily defined properties. Moreover, the inorganic filler typically does not require special drying, maintenance, or processing conditions.
The preferred embodiments herein disclosed are not intended to be exhaustive or to unnecessarily limit the scope of the invention. The preferred embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the present invention so that others skilled in the art may practice the invention. Having shown and described preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art will realize that many variations and modifications may be made to affect the described invention. Many of those variations and modifications will provide the same result and fall within the spirit of the claimed invention. It is the intention, therefore, to limit the invention only as indicated by the scope of the claims.
