Hot melt process

Cortisone acetate has been incorporated into several polyanhydrides (15). The rates of release of cortisone acetate from microcapsules of poly(terephthaUc acid), poly(terephthaUc acid-sebacic acid) 50 50, and poly(carboxyphenoxypropane-sebacic acid) 50 50 are shown in Fig. 8. These microcapsules were produced by an interfacial condensation of a diacyl chloride in methylene chloride with the appropriate dicarboxylic acid in water, with or without the crosslinking agent trimesoyl chloride. This process produces irregular microcapsules with a rough surface. The release rates of cortisone acetate from these microcapsules varied correspondingly with the rate of degradation of the respective polyanhydrides. It can be expected that the duration of release of cortisone acetate from solid microspheres, such as those produced by the hot-melt process, would be considerably longer.

A solventless PMR resin became known under the designation LARC 160 (15), which could be processed as a hot melt. An exchange of MDA in PMR-15 with a liquid isomeric mixture of di- and trifunctional amines (Jeffamine 22) provided a mixture of monomeric reactants which was tacky at room temperature. In the presence of 3% methanol the resin could be processed via a hot melt process. Unfortunately, the cured resin was inferior with respect to thermal oxidative stability in comparison to PMR-15. 

A key drawback for using photoinitators is the residual photochemical by-products. To address this problem, polybutadiene photoinitators containing grafted benzophenone have been prepared where both photoinitiator and photochemical by products are completely miscible with hot melt processable resins. 

The adhesive is manufactured in tape form by a hot-melt process. It is a tacky solid at room temperature. The integrity is maintained by using a finely woven glass fabric scrim as the carrier. This process is an excellent example of the compromises required in the technology of formulation. Some of the high-temperature performance that is expected from the phenolic resole is sacrificed for the improved bond strength and toughness afforded from the epoxy resin. The filler is added to make the thermal coefficient of expansion of the cured adhesive more metallic in nature. Dicyandiamide is the...

Solubility, Crystallinity, and Compatibility. Polyester solubility is largely determined by the nature and proportions of the constituent monomers. Polyesters with a regular structure are crystalline. Examples of highly crystalline polyesters are poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(butylene terephthalate). Although medium to highly crystalline copolyesters are insoluble in paint solvents, they can be processed into adhesives and paints in the hot-melt process [2.87]. Slightly crystalline copolyesters are soluble, for example, in ketones and are mainly used for laminate adhesives.

Structil (Groupe SNPE), Vert le Petit, France—a subsidiary of SNPE, produces a range of prepreg products by hot melt process. Also has eight pultrusion machines. In 1998, Grafil Inc. purchased a 20% share. 

Many studies have shown that the imposition of molecular flexibility allows the possibility that the flexibilized polyimide could exhibit sufficient thermoplasticity above its Glass transition temperature for fabrication by a hot-melt process (see Hot melt adhesives). 

More typical, though, is hot-melt processing of these adhesives. The rubber is blended with tackifier and/or plasticizer in a bulk mixer or extruder at elevated temperature (eg, 150-200°C), coated as a molten liquid, and cooled. The lack of need for post-curing is a significant advantage over natural rubber PSAs. The high purity and consistency of the input rubber is also an advantage when compared to natural rubber.

Hot melt process is an alternative technology to wet granulation (which is discussed in detail in another chapter of this book). Agglomeration of the particles of a powder mixer can be achieved by melting hydrated citric acid so as to release the hydration water which acts as the granulating liquid. Once granules are formed it is necessary to cool them to achieve the proper hardness and mechanical stability. There are two different techniques ... 

The adhesives are applied mainly from solvents, some are applied solventless by calendering or as water-based latices. Quite recently solvent-free hot-melt processes have been introduced [229]. 

A thermally initiated crosslinking reaction would almost always be used to crosslink an adhesive applied from solvent because cross-linking can be conveniently initiated in the solvent evaporation ovens. However, thermally initiated crosslinking systems present considerable handling problems for hot melt adhesives in that they may crosslink the adhesive in the hot melt processing equipment. 

Pellets, like powders, are printed in dot patterns on fabrics by the Rototherm hot melt process described below. The adhesive-printed fabrics are used in apparel manufacturing or for continuous lamination of fabrics to other substrates.
