Cold resistant materials

Polar aliphatic plasticizers mis less well with polymers than do polar aromatics and, consequently, may exude (bloom) from the plasticized polymer more easily. Their polymer miscibility temperature is higher than that for the first group. These plasticizers are called oil-type plasticizers, and their kerosene extraction index is high. Their plasticization action is, however, more pronounced than that of polar aromatic plasticizers at the same molar concentration. Moreover, since the aliphatic portions of the molecules retain their flexibility over a large temperature range, these plasticizers give a better elasticity to finished products at low temperature, as compared to polar aromatic plasticizers, and allow the production of better cold-resistant materials. In PVC they also cause less coloration under heat exposure. 

Allyl Glycidyl Ether. This ether is used mainly as a raw material for silane coupling agents and epichlorohydrin mbber. Epichlorohydrin mbber is synthesized by polymerizing the epoxy group of epichlorohydrin, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and aHyl glycidyl ether, AGE, with an aluminum alkyl catalyst (36). This mbber has high cold-resistance.

For the smaller sizes in nominal pipe diameters with coned -and- threaded connections it is usual to design the pipe-work with standard fittings such as crosses, unions, bulk-head couplings, reducers, adapters, elbows and Tees (for some examples see Fig. 4.2-4). These fittings are normally in cold-worked austenitic steel (e.g., 1.4571 or AISI 316Ti), but features with inserts of other more corrosion-resistant materials are available. 

Copolymers of PE with vinylacetate, acrylic acid ester and methacrylic acid increase the heat sealability, adhesion to other materials and seal strength and they improve the polymer s cold resistance and transparency. EVA in the form of shrink films are well suited for meat packaging because of their relatively high gas permeabilities. 

PP possesses good water vapor barrier and fat resistance properties. Normal PP films have limited food packaging applications (e.g. packaging of bread) because of their low cold temperature resistance. Copolymer mixtures with ethylene are used to improve cold resistance and heat sealability as well as material strength and, above all, seal strength. 

Resistance to creep or cold flow—materials may change in shape, dimensions, etc., related to a pressure force (stress) and temperature/time. 

In general, heat sealable packs are not resealable once opened, hence they are inherently tamper-evident and tamper-resistant. Certain cold seal materials may be resealable, hence they do not comply with this parameter. Child-resistance properties are less easy to confirm, as the standard varies between countries. In the USA materials have to meet the test created via the PPA (Poisons Prevention Act 1970), in Germany DIN 55559, and the UK BSI7236 1989.
