Definitions
- This invention relates to surface treated barium sulfate and, more particularly, to a surface treated barium sulfate product that provides desirable performance properties and improved processing in polymeric end use applications.
- the invention also relates to a method of preparing such a surface treated barium sulfate product.
- Natural barium sulfate (also commonly referred to as barite or barytes) is frequently used as an extender pigment and/or filler due to its chemical inertness (in both acid and alkali environments), high refractive index, low abrasiveness, low oil absorption, and resistance to corrosion. Barium sulfate is also known to promote flame retardancy and smoke suppression in polymeric end use applications. Given their high refractive index, barium sulfates of high brightness are desirable to use as a replacement for titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) in certain compositions such as pigmented polymeric compounds. Barite can be utilized to replace a portion of the more expensive TiO 2 pigment without having a deleterious impact on the compound's brightness and whiteness properties.
- TiO 2 titanium dioxide
- Synthetic, precipitated barium sulfate pigments are used in a like fashion, but are typically available in finer particle size grades versus the mechanically ground, natural barites. Precipitated barium sulfate is commonly referred to as blanc fixe.
- the present invention is designed to overcome the deficiencies discussed above. It is an object of the invention to provide a surface treated barium sulfate product that is adapted to be readily dispersed in end use applications such as polymeric formulations. Good wet out and dispersion in polymers is important to the inventive product yielding improved processability during compounding and improved extension/spacing of TiO 2 .
- Such hydrogen reactive polysiloxanes contain silicon-hydride groups as the reactive moiety.
- a surface treated barium sulfate product particularly suited for use in polymeric compositions such as those derived from a polyvinyl chloride or a polyolefin.
- the product comprises a plurality of barium sulfate particles and a silicon-hydride containing polysiloxane.
- This hydrogen reactive polysiloxane is deposited on the surface of the barium sulfate particles and bonds to this surface through means of a chemical reaction involving its reactive Si-H groups.
- the treatment level of the silicon-hydride containing polysiloxane can range from about 0.1% to about 2.0% by weight, but is preferably from about 0.5% to about 1.5% by weight on an active weight basis.
- FIG. 1 is a graphical representation displaying the effect of replacing titanium dioxide with a surface treated barium sulfate product of the present invention on the whiteness index of a pigmented PVC compound
- FIG. 2 is a graphical representation displaying the effect of replacing titanium dioxide with a surface treated barium sulfate product of the present invention on the percent brightness of a pigmented PVC compound.
- the present invention is directed toward a surface treated barium sulfate product that provides improved dispersibility in polymeric end use applications resulting in reduced processing times.
- a dry ground natural barite is subsequently surface treated in the manner more fully described below.
- precipitated barium sulfates or wet ground barites can also be surface treated by the inventive method to yield similar benefits.
- Table I sets forth some mineral properties of a typical dry ground barium sulfate.
- Table II sets forth some physical properties of four different, dry ground barite products available under the mark Huberbrite® from J.M. Huber Corporation.
- Barite pH values were determined using a standard pH meter on a 28% solids (by weight) mixture of the barite with deionized water in accordance with the ASTM D-1208, E-70 procedure. Dry pigment brightness values in Table II were measured at 530 run with a magnesium oxide standard equal to 100%, following the ASTM C-110 procedure.
- the whiteness index and % brightness values shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are standard TAPPI brightness numbers as determined by reading the PVC test plaques with a Technidyne Micro TB-1C brightness meter in accordance with the TAPPI Method T646 om-86 procedure. Hegman grind values were determined following the standard ASTM D-1210 procedure.
- the average Stokes equivalent particle diameters in microns were determined by an x-ray sedimentation method based on Stokes Law using a Micromeritics 5100 Sedigraph particle size instrument.
- the average Stokes equivalent particle diameter is the median particle size (MPS) value determined by the x-ray Sedigraph.
- Huberbrite® 1 barium sulfate is surface treated in accordance with the method of the present invention. The fine particle size of Huberbrite® 1 barium sulfate is well suited when utilized in thermoplastic compounds since the fineness of the particles is important to the resultant physical properties and/or effective spacing of the titanium dioxide pigment.
- the ground barite is surface modified with a hydrogen reactive silicone fluid (commonly referred to as a H-siloxane, a hydrogen reactive polysiloxane, or a silicon-hydride containing polysiloxane).
- a hydrogen reactive silicone fluid commonly referred to as a H-siloxane, a hydrogen reactive polysiloxane, or a silicon-hydride containing polysiloxane.
- the presence of the reactive silicon- hydride (Si-H) groups is essential to the siloxane's effectiveness as a surface treatment agent for the barite.
- a preferred H-siloxane fluid utilized for surface modification of barium sulfate is a methyl hydrogen polysiloxane (denoted hereafter as Me H polysiloxane).
- Me H polysiloxanes of low molecular weight (MW ⁇ 10,000) are particularly preferred as treatment agents. It should be noted that other alkyl hydrogen polysiloxanes and siloxanes
- n an integer greater than 1 ;
- X H or R';
- n an integer greater than 1 ;
- R a C, - C 20 alkyl
- Y and Z silicon-containing terminating end groups.
- n about 50-80 ;
- R methyl
- the surface treated barite of the present invention is prepared by treating either dry, finely divided barite powder or a barite slurry with the H-reactive silicone fluid. Effective surface treatments on the barium sulfate particles can be carried out on either physical form (dry or slurry) by using a neat H-siloxane fluid or by adding an aqueous emulsion of the H-siloxane fluid as more fully described below. Initially, 98 to 99.9 parts by weight of a quantity of barium sulfate (e.g., Huberbrite® 1 barium sulfate) is added to a solids/liquid batch blender.
- a quantity of barium sulfate e.g., Huberbrite® 1 barium sulfate
- the blender is turned on and 0.1 to 2.0 parts by weight (on an active basis) of the Me H polysiloxane is added respectively over approximately 0.1 to 3 minutes so as to yield a total of 100 parts by weight.
- the total mixing time is preferably 5 to 40 minutes.
- the preferred treatment level of the Me H polysiloxane is from about 0.5%) to about 1.5% by weight.
- the barite may be heated during the dry treatment and subsequent mixing steps. In the case of surface treating a dry barite powder with Me H polysiloxane at room temperature, the treated barite product should be allowed to sit for a period of about 24 - 48 hours prior to its use to insure that the surface reaction is complete. Increasing treated product hydrophobicity and small amounts of H 2 gas evolution are typically observed over this time period.
- the dry treatment process can be carried out continuously by adding the H-siloxane (neat or as an aqueous emulsion) via a chemical metering pump that is used in combination with a pin mixer, a Bepex turbulizer unit or a similar continuous blending device.
- a barite starting material is to be treated in slurry form
- the Me H polysiloxane is added slowly to the slurry with good mixing and then mixed for an additional 5 to 30 minutes.
- the treated barite slurry is then vacuum filtered and subsequently oven dried or flash-dried under conventional drying conditions.
- the treated barite product can be optionally post- pulverized to reduce treated particle agglomeration thereby improving its Hegman grind properties.
- an aqueous emulsion of a Me H polysiloxane is used to surface treat the barium sulfate.
- the aqueous emulsion is preferably prepared from a high-speed dispersion of the Me H polysiloxane in water in the presence of a surfactant.
- the aqueous emulsion comprises Me H polysiloxane in an amount of from about 30% to about 70%, and a nonionic surfactant in an amount of from about 1.0% to about 3.0% of the total formulation (percentages are on an active weight basis).
- nonionic surfactant used in preparing the emulsion formulation described above is about 4.0% by weight of the H-siloxane component.
- preferred nonionic surfactants have a hydrophilic lypophilic balance (HLB) value of greater than 9.
- HLB hydrophilic lypophilic balance
- a nonionic surfactant particularly suited for emulsifying the Me H polysiloxane is a polysorbitan monolaurate with 20 moles of ethoxylation available under the trade name Alkamuls PSML-20 from Rhodia.
- the emulsions are optimally prepared at a 50% by weight concentration of Me H polysiloxane whereby the corresponding weight concentration of Alkamuls PSML-20 utilized therein would optimally be 2%.
- Table III sets forth some variable physical properties of the treated barium sulfate product that was produced by surface treating Huberbrite® 1 barium sulfate with 1% by weight of the preferred Me H polysiloxane.
- Table IV lists a number of barite test samples and their corresponding descriptions.
- Emery 873 f Dimethyl siloxane available from Dow Corning under the trade name
- Silicone Fluid 2-5084 (has about 50% less Si-H content than Dow Corning
- a poly vinyl chloride compound was prepared from 100 parts by weight of a polyvinyl chloride resin (Vista 5385 resin available from Vista Chemical Co.), 50 phr (parts per hundred resin) of a plasticizer (diisodecyl phthalate, Jayflex DIDP available from Exxon Chemical Co.), 5 phr of a heat stabilizer (lead sulfophthalate, Lectro 90 available from Synthetic Products Co.), 1 phr of stearic acid (available from Synthetic Products Co.) and 15 phr of total pigment which consisted of either barite, titanium dioxide or a blend of barite and titanium dioxide.
- the PVC formulation was prepared in a Brabender mixer using the following mixing procedure.
- the PVC formulation was prepared by adding the PVC resin to a Brabender Plasti-corder PL-2100 blender which was heated to 340 deg. F and stirred at 60 rpm. Once the PVC resin was heated, the plasticizer and heat stabilizer were added followed by stearic acid addition. Mixing and heating was continued until the mixture was uniform at which time either barite or titanium dioxide or a blend of these pigments was added. Torque measurements were taken after 3 minutes. The composite PVC material was then cooled and compression molded at 340 deg. F and 5,000 psi to form test plaques which were used for optical brightness and color measurements using a Technidyne Micro TB-1C brightness meter.
- Table V compares the mixing characteristics of the PVC test recipe described in Example 1 using three sample pigments from Table IV. Table V sets forth the impact on mixing torque when the TiO 2 pigment is replaced with various percentages of the barium sulfate test samples.
- FIG. 1 is graphical representation displaying the effect of replacing titanium dioxide with a surface treated barium sulfate product of the present invention on
- FIG. 1 correspond to samples A, B and C in Table IV.
- FIG. 2 displays a similar representation with respect to % brightness, measured as TAPPI brightness. The whiteness index and % brightness values were both measured on
- Table VI displays average % caking values for each of the test samples described in Table IV, all of which are based on a 1 micron barium sulfate (Huberbrite® 1). For comparison, all the treated barite samples were tested for % caking in a non post-pulverized form. Post-pulverization after surface treatment can affect a treated barite product's relative Hegman grind and caking properties.
- the test procedure utilized for determining average % caking is as follows: A 12 gram test sample of barite powder was placed inside a 1 inch high by 1 5/8 inch inner diameter stainless steel ring which is located on a glass plate. Using a stainless steel plunger, the powder test sample was hand pressed into a firm plaque using 20 pounds of applied pressure for 10 seconds.
- test plaque was then transferred onto the top of a 40 mesh US sieve screen that was then vibrated for about 2 minutes using a Sepor Inc. screen shaker unit.
- the sample was partially disintegrated by this vibrating action with the clumps of material still remaining on the screen representing the amount of product caking on a weight % basis.
- the screen residue retained was weighed and the % caking value was determined by the following formula:
- % caking (wt. of residue material/original sample wt.) x 100 For a given powder sample, the % caking is determined three times and the average value was reported.
- Table VI demonstrates that the surface treatment of a barium sulfate with Me H polysiloxane in accordance with the methods of the present invention results in a product which exhibits a significant reduction in % caking as compared to either an untreated barium sulfate or barium sulfate treated with other surface- modifying materials.
- the noted reduction in caking reflects improved dry powder flow and bulk dry handling characteristics as well as improved dispersibility of the treated barium sulfate in polymeric end use applications.
- post-pulverization of the treated product is an optional process step that can be practiced to provide particle deagglomeration so as to improve the product's dispersibility in organic resin or polymer systems as reflected by an improved Hegman grind value.
- Treated barite test samples B and C of Table IV were checked for Hegman grind and both were then subsequently pulverized through a micro-pulverizer unit twice using a 0.020 inch screen.
- the pulverized test samples are hereafter designated as samples B-P and C-P, respectively.
- the resultant Hegman grind properties and % caking values of B-P and C-P were determined and the data are reported in Table VII.
- Table VII clearly demonstrates that pulverization after surface treatment can significantly improve the Hegman grind properties of the treated barite products of this invention but this improvement often comes at the expense of decreasing dry flow properties some as reflected by an increase in the % caking values.
- barite test sample C of Table IV was prepared again except that the treatment process with Huberbrite® 1 barium sulfate and the Me H polysiloxane as a 50% active emulsion was carried out in a continuos fashion using a Bepex turbilizer unit rather than batch wise in a Henschel mixer. No heating was utilized.
- the treated barite product so produced at a 1% treatment level by this continuous treatment process is designated hereafter as sample C-C.
- sample C-C was evaluated in non-pulverized form for average % caking and was re-checked again after 24 hours.
- the initial % caking value for C-C was determined to be 43%, while the same product tested 24 hours later yielded a % caking value of 9.4 .
