Abstract

The invention concerns a metal tube, typically made of aluminium alloy, comprising a cylindrical or truncated skirt having one open end and another end linked to a dispensing head, the inner surface of said cylindrical skirt being covered, proximate to said open end, with an adhesive annular seal. The invention is characterised in that said adhesive seal comprises an oxygen absorbing agent which is released when the tube is finally sealed. To ensure that it is released only when the tube is finally sealed, the oxygen absorbing agent can be directly incorporated in the resin used for producing the seal, in a chemical form which remains passive as long as it is not contacted with the product to be packaged. The oxygen absorbing agent can also be simply comprised in an envelope or, preferably, in a large amount of microcapsules incorporated in said resin, said envelope or said microcapsules being destroyed after the tube is filled and/or sealed.

UTI LISATION DE SUBSTANCES ABSORBANT L'OXYGENE DANS LA FABRICATION DE TUBES SOUPLES USE OF OXYGEN ABSORBING SUBSTANCES IN THE MANUFACTURE OF FLEXIBLE TUBES
DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA
L' invention concerne des récipients métalliques tels que les tubes en alliage d'aluminium destinés a stocker et distribuer des produits liquides a pâteux De tels tubes présentent une excellente barrière à la diffusion des gaz et sont particulièrement aptes a contenir des produits sensibles à l 'oxydationThe invention relates to metal containers such as aluminum alloy tubes for storing and dispensing pasty liquid products. These tubes have an excellent barrier to gas diffusion and are particularly suitable for containing products sensitive to oxidation
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART
Les tubes en alliage d'aluminium sont obtenus par filage par choc d'un pion I ls comportent une jupe cylindrique ou conique ayant une extrémité ouverte et une autre extrémité reliée a une tête de distribution Ladite tête de distribution, ou collet, comporte un goulot de distribution délimitant en général un orifice non encore désoperculé et une épaule rel iant le goulot a la |upe La surface intérieure du tube est recouverte d'un vernis et, a proximité de l 'extrémité ouverte, d'un joint annulaire constitue d'une résine "a base de latex", typiquement une résine adhesive a base de caoutchouc synthétique ou encore une résine de type acrylique, lesdites résines étant en suspension dans une solution aqueuseThe aluminum alloy tubes are obtained by impact spinning of a pin. They have a cylindrical or conical skirt having an open end and another end connected to a dispensing head. Said dispensing head, or collar, comprises a neck. dispensing generally delimiting an orifice not yet uncapped and a shoulder connecting the neck to the | The interior surface of the tube is covered with a varnish and, near the open end, an annular seal constitutes a "latex-based" resin, typically an adhesive resin based on synthetic rubber or an acrylic type resin, said resins being in suspension in an aqueous solution
Une fois réalisés, les tubes sont emballés tête en bas et orifice opercule et/ou obture par un bouchon puis envoyés au conditionneur Ce dernier les remplit en introduisant le produit à conditionner par l'extrémité ouverte Lorsque le remplissage est fini, la portion de la jupe proche de l'extrémité ouverte, revêtue du joint annulaire, est aplatie suivant un diamètre de telle sorte que les parties de la paroi qui se trouvent au regard l'une de l'autre puissent entrer en contact sur toute leur surface et s'accoler l'une a l'autre Cette extrémité aplatie est ensuite pliée sur elle même plusieurs fois (en général 2 ou tris plis sont réalisés) puis comprimée De la sorte, grâce au joint adhésif piégé dans les plis ainsi réalisés, on obtient un scellage final du tube grâce auquel le produit est contenu de façon étanche dans ledit tube Suivant la matière utilisée, le joint est auto-adhésif ou thermoadhésifOnce made, the tubes are packed upside down and the orifice is sealed and / or closed by a plug and then sent to the conditioner. The latter fills them by introducing the product to be conditioned by the open end. When the filling is finished, the portion of the skirt close to the open end, coated with the annular seal, is flattened along a diameter so that the parts of the wall which are facing each other can come into contact over their entire surface and joining one to the other This flattened end is then folded on itself several times (in general 2 or three folds are produced) then compressed. In this way, thanks to the adhesive seal trapped in the folds thus produced, a seal is obtained. end of the tube by which the product is contained so waterproof in said tube Depending on the material used, the seal is self-adhesive or thermoadhesive
Jusqu'à une époque récente, une telle pratique donnait entière satisfaction puisque l'on s recherchait essentiellement une étanchéité aux liquides, pour éviter une fuite du produit contenu dans le tube A l'heure actuelle, les tubes en alliage d'aluminium sont moins utilisés pour conditionner des produits de consommation courante (de type pâte dentifrice) mais ils restent particulièrement recherches lorsqu'il s'agit de conditionner des produits sensibles a une dégradation par l'air ambiant, notamment des produits facilement w oxydables Ainsi, parmi les produits cosmétiques, on peut citer les teintures pour cheveux ou les crèmes "anti-âge" contenant des produits tels que du rétinol ou de la vitamine CUntil recently, such a practice was entirely satisfactory since we were essentially looking for liquid tightness, to avoid leakage of the product contained in the tube. At present, aluminum alloy tubes are less used to package everyday consumer products (such as toothpaste) but they are still particularly sought after when it comes to packaging products sensitive to degradation by ambient air, in particular products that are easily w oxidizable. Thus, among the products cosmetics, there may be mentioned hair dyes or "anti-aging" creams containing products such as retinol or vitamin C
Or les formulations proposées par les fabricants de cosmétiques évoluent elles sont de plus en plus efficaces mais deviennent également de plus en plus sensibles a l 'oxydationNow the formulations proposed by cosmetic manufacturers are evolving they are more and more effective but also become more and more sensitive to oxidation.
15 Le joint d'étanchéité réalisé dans les conditions décrites précédemment répondait parfaitement aux exigences d'étanchéité vis-a-vis des liquides, mais pas aux exigences plus sévères d'étanchéité aux gaz, notamment à l'oxygène On constate donc maintenant que le scellage final du tube décrit plus haut ne permet plus de préserver le produit conditionné, le produit étant immédiatement altéré par l 'oxygène contenu dans l 'air piégé 0 au cours du scellage du tube ou étant progressivement oxydé par l'air qui arrive a diffuser au travers du joint adhésif15 The seal produced under the conditions described above perfectly met the requirements for sealing with respect to liquids, but not for the more stringent requirements for sealing against gases, in particular with oxygen. final sealing of the tube described above no longer makes it possible to preserve the conditioned product, the product being immediately altered by the oxygen contained in the trapped air 0 during the sealing of the tube or being progressively oxidized by the air which arrives to diffuse through the adhesive seal
PROBLEME POSE 5PROBLEM POSE 5
La demanderesse a donc cherché a résoudre les problèmes poses par l 'apparition de ces nouveaux produits particulièrement sensibles a l 'oxydation OBJET DE L'INVENTIONThe Applicant has therefore sought to solve the problems posed by the appearance of these new products which are particularly sensitive to oxidation. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
L'objet selon l 'invention est un tube métallique, comportant une jupe cylindrique ou conique ayant une extrémité ouverte et une autre extrémité reliée a une tête de distribution, la surface intérieure de ladite jupe cylindrique étant recouverte, a proximité de ladite extrémité ouverte, d'un joint annulaire adhésif, caractérisé en ce que ledit joint adhésif comporte un agent absorbeur d'oxygène qui est libéré au cours du scellage final du tubeThe object according to the invention is a metal tube, comprising a cylindrical or conical skirt having an open end and another end connected to a dispensing head, the interior surface of said cylindrical skirt being covered, near said open end, an adhesive annular seal, characterized in that said adhesive seal comprises an oxygen-absorbing agent which is released during the final sealing of the tube
Le tube est métallique car sa paroi a une propriété barrière a la diffusion de l 'oxygène excellente, nettement supérieure à celle de toute paroi en matériau polyméπque De préférence, pour des raisons pratiques de mise en forme, ce tube est en alliage d'aluminium Pour absorber l 'oxygène contenu dans la poche d'air résiduel subsistant au contact du produit après le scellage du tube, la demanderesse a trouvé avantageux de libérer au voisinage de ladite poche un agent absorbeur d'oxygène contenu jusque la dans le jointThe tube is metallic because its wall has a barrier property to the diffusion of excellent oxygen, clearly superior to that of any wall made of polymeric material. Preferably, for practical reasons of shaping, this tube is made of aluminum alloy To absorb the oxygen contained in the pocket of residual air remaining in contact with the product after the sealing of the tube, the Applicant has found it advantageous to release in the vicinity of said pocket an oxygen-absorbing agent contained up to there in the joint
Pour être libéré uniquement au moment du scellage final, l 'agent absorbeur d'oxygène peut être incorporé directement dans la résine dite "à base de latex" utilisée pour la réalisation du joint, sous une forme chimique restant passive tant qu'elle n 'est pas mise en contact avec le produit à conditionner Par exemple, on peut incorporer des produits tes que ceux divulgués dans US 4 536 409 & US 4 702 966, qui, en raison de leur sensibi lité a l'humidité, deviennent réducteurs après réaction avec l 'eau contenue dans le produit avec lequel ils sont mis en contactTo be released only at the time of final sealing, the oxygen-absorbing agent can be incorporated directly into the so-called "latex-based" resin used to make the joint, in a chemical form which remains passive as long as it does not is not brought into contact with the product to be packaged. For example, it is possible to incorporate products such as those disclosed in US 4,536,409 & US 4,702,966, which, due to their sensitivity to humidity, become reducing after reaction. with the water contained in the product with which they are brought into contact
L'agent absorbeur d'oxygène peut également être simplement contenu dans une enveloppe ou, de préférence, dans une grande quantité de microcapsules incorporées dans la résine dite "à base de latex" utilisée pour la réalisation du joint, cette enveloppe ou ces microcapsules devant être détruites après le remplissage et/ou le scellage final du tube Conditionné à l' intérieur de microcapsules, l'agent absorbeur d'oxygène est facile a mélanger dans une résine liquide telle que la résine servant à réal iser le joint d'étanchéité les microcapsules sont simplement incorporées et mélangées dans cette suspension aqueuse puis ladite résine "à base de latex" est déposée sur la paroi interne du tube lorsqu'elle est encore sous forme liquide En général, cette paroi est déjà recouverte d'une couche de vernis, en général de type époxy phénohque Le séchage de la résine "à base de latex" peut éventuellement être assuré à température ambiante (joint auto-adhésif) ou à une température supérieure (joint thermo-adhésif) Les microbilles restent piégées dans le joint durci après séchageThe oxygen-absorbing agent can also be simply contained in an envelope or, preferably, in a large quantity of microcapsules incorporated in the so-called "latex-based" resin used for making the joint, this envelope or these microcapsules in front be destroyed after filling and / or final sealing of the tube Conditioned inside microcapsules, the oxygen-absorbing agent is easy to mix in a liquid resin such that the resin used to make the seal the microcapsules are simply incorporated and mixed in this aqueous suspension then said resin "latex-based" is deposited on the inner wall of the tube when it is still in liquid form In general, this wall is already covered with a layer of varnish, generally of the phenolic epoxy type The drying of the resin "to latex base "can optionally be provided at room temperature (self-adhesive seal) or at a higher temperature (heat-adhesive seal) The microbeads remain trapped in the hardened seal after drying
On peut détruire ces microcapsules par voie mécanique en profitant des opérations nécessaires au scellage final (écrasement puis pliage des bords de l'extrémité ouverte, compression du joint final, etc ) L'enveloppe de ces microcapsules peut également être détruite - ou rendue perméable à l'oxygène - sous un autre type d'action mécanique (des ultrasons par exemple), ou encore par apport énergétique externe (apport de chaleur, radiations électromagnétiques de types micro-ondes, ultra-violets ou infra-rouges), ou encore par voie chimique (apport d'un solvant, d'eau, de lipides, pH du produit conditionné, )These microcapsules can be destroyed mechanically by taking advantage of the operations necessary for the final sealing (crushing then folding of the edges of the open end, compression of the final joint, etc.) The envelope of these microcapsules can also be destroyed - or made permeable to oxygen - under another type of mechanical action (ultrasound for example), or by external energy supply (heat supply, electromagnetic radiation of the microwave, ultra-violet or infrared types), or also by chemical route (supply of a solvent, water, lipids, pH of the packaged product,)
La substance libérée au cours du scellage final absorbe l'oxygène résiduel de la poche d'air piégée dans le récipient après remplissage du produit à conditionner et fermeture dudit récipient De préférence, cette substance est prévue en quantité suffisante pour également absorber l'oxygène susceptible de diffuser au cours de toute l'util isation du produit à travers l' interface compris entre les parties de joint aplaties, accolées et pliéesThe substance released during the final sealing absorbs the residual oxygen from the air pocket trapped in the container after filling of the product to be packaged and closing of the container. Preferably, this substance is provided in an amount sufficient to also absorb the oxygen capable to diffuse during all the use of the product through the interface between the flattened, joined and folded joint parts
Cette substance est choisie en fonction des conditions d'utilisation du produit conditionné dans le tube I I peut s'agir de tout composé oxydable compatible avec l'emploi du produit a distribuer, de la poudre de ter, un sel métallique tel qu'un sel terreux ou un sel de cobalt, un composé oxydable choisi dans le groupe regroupant des formes réduites de quinone, ou encore une composition oxydable comprenant un composé absorbeur d'oxygène activé choisi parmi le groupe regroupant des antioxydants organiques, des phosphites, phosphines et phosphates organiques, de l'hydroquinone, de l'hydroquinone substituée, des sulfates, sulfites, phosphites et nitrites de métaux, de l 'acide thiodipropinoïque et ses esters et sels, thio-bis (ethylène glycol beta-aminocrotonate), cystéine, cystine, méthionine, des aminés primaires, secondaires et tertiaires et leurs dérivés.This substance is chosen according to the conditions of use of the product packaged in the tube.
