2 Figure 1. Lamellarity of HAR s versus conventional s d50 laser - d50 Sedigraph *I.L = d50 Sedigraph INTRODUCTION Current trends in the automotive industry are towards increasingly highperformance products, particularly in the realm of weight reduction and zero-gap design. Because conventional jet milling technologies, also known as micronisation technologies, have reached their full potential for both grinding and delaminating, Imerys has developed a range of high aspect ratio HAR s to meet the demands of automakers. Produced using an innovative, patented delaminating process (1), HAR s have a higher aspect ratio than other conventionally micronised grades. They provide improved mechanical properties when compounded in polypropylene versus conventional s or fillers, without impairing the ductility of the moulded parts. HAR s are supplied in microsphere densified form and have excellent flow properties for easy handling and high compounding throughput. Lamellarity index (*IL) Delaminating process Jet milling Specific surface (BET, Ar) (m 2 /g) PERFORMANCE IN POLYPROPYLENE HAR and a reference were compounded using a twin-screw co-rotating extruder and then introduced in the polypropylene melt via a sidefeeder so as to obtain optimum performance (see HAR processing recommendations). All properties related to the aspect ratio were improved with HAR : flexural modulus (up by 20%), CLTE (down by 20%), shrinkage (down by 8%). Moreover, the stiffness/impact balance remains excellent. Figure 2 summarises the results and illustrates the benefits that can be obtained with HAR s. Figure 2.

In a formulation using 90% PP copolymer (reactor grade, MFR = 10) and 10%, HAR s demonstrated 15% lower CLTE levels compared to very fine s Figure 3. CLTE performance of HAR versus several grades (10% loading in copolymer) Neat PP Coarse Table 1. Fine Very fine HAR HAR TALC FOR LIGHTWEIGHTING One solution for reducing the weight and density of plastics parts is to use HAR to replace more conventional fillers. In the example below, we replaced 20% of a very fine 7µm top-cut in a TPO formulation (high flow PP copolymer blended with 10% of an ethylene-octene elastomer) with 15% HAR. Due to its superior lamellarity, the TPO reinforced with 15% HAR presented the same stiffness as the TPO reinforced with 20% of a 7µm top-cut. Moreover, reducing the mineral content led to a significant improvement in impact strength as measured by izod at room and cold temperatures (Figure 4). Yield strength (MPa) Density Figure 4.

In this test, we achieved a 5% reduction in part density with a 25% reduction in loading whilst maintaining and even improving the overall stiffness/impact balance of the part. Figure 5.

4 HAR 3G, A NEW, IMPROVED GENERATION OF HAR TALCS Imerys has recently launched a new, improved HAR range, HAR 3G, to improve even further the performance of -reinforced compounds. This optimised HAR 3G process ensures a product with a better top-cut control. Figure 6. Comparison of HAR T84 and new HAR 3G 84L particle size distribution (sedigraph data) Total energy (-20 C) Figure 7. HAR 3G 84L confers improved impact resistance Steamic 00SF Falling weight impact HAR T84 HAR 3G 84L Cumulative mass (%) Equivalent spherical diameter (µm) New HAR 3G 84L and HAR 3G 77L s provide superior stiffness/impact balance in polymer compounds. In TPO for example, whilst stiffness and dimensional stability are maintained, Charpy impact performance is improved by 10% as demonstrated in Table 2 and Figure 7. This is particularly relevant for automotive, domestic appliance and packaging applications. Table 2. Evaluation of HAR 3G 84L in PP compounds Unit Steamic 00S F HAR 3G 84L HAR T84 HAR T84 HAR 3G 84L Flexural modulus MPa HAR TALC VERSUS SHORT GLASS FIBRE IN POLYPROPYLENE HAR particles are exceptionally lamellar and, unlike short glass fibre (SGF), their aspect ratio is not impaired during the extrusion process. As a result, the stiffness and toughness properties of HAR reinforced composites are close to those of SGF. Due to its superior performance, HAR is opening up new horizons for usage as an alternative to SGF in applications where market specifications are less stringent about stiffness. No bonding additives are required for processing. 40µm top-cut Figure 8.

5 Compared to needle-like SGF, the positioning and homogenous dispersion of HAR particles within the polymer matrix provide a better isotropic effect and dimensional stability. Material filling flow Figure 11. Cut direction of test samples CLTE (10-6.K -1 ) Whatever the flow direction of the injected part, tests showed a very good surface appearance and regular CLTE performance. Figure 10.

When measured parallel to flow, the flexural modulus of the HAR reinforced PA is 15% higher than the glass-fibre reinforced PA. Compared to average values, the HAR formulation demonstrates 65% superior stiffness. ISOTROPY OF HAR TALC REINFORCED PLASTICS 6500 Figure 12. Average flexural modulus of reinforced PA6 Injection-moulded bars, or dumbbells, are commonly used to characterise neat and reinforced thermoplastics. In reinforced composites, acicular fibres are highly oriented. Since the load is usually applied on samples in the fibre direction, resulting data are generally optimum. However, in most finished parts, the mineral particles used to reinforce the composite are more or less oriented, depending on part design and flow pattern % stiffness for HAR T84 over glass fibre To build a /glass fibre comparison which reflects the performance of these finished parts, we produced injection-moulded plaques made from HAR and glass-fibre reinforced polyamide (PA) compounds. We then cut out samples in three directions: parallel to flow (0 ), perpendicular to flow (90 ), and in an intermediate direction (45 ). This is illustrated in Figure PA % GF PA % HAR T84 *Formula used by part designers : Mean =(Value 0 + Value 90 +2*Value 45 )/4 Flow direction 90 to flow 45 to flow Mean 1-1-2

6 A similar trend is observed for tensile modulus and dimensional stability, which are enhanced and significantly less anisotropic with HAR. The performance of the glass fibre-reinforced PA is superior in terms of heat and impact resistance, as well as tensile strength. It is therefore up to the formulator and the designer to define specifications which match the material and the application. HAR PRODUCT RANGE Table 3. Flexural modulus at 23 C (MPa) Figure 13.

PROCESSING RECOMMENDATIONS Certain precautions have to be taken when compounding HAR s as the exceptional lamellarity of their particles makes them fragile. The use of a side-feeder to introduce the HAR directly into the PP melt is the best method. If HAR is fed into the main hopper with the PP pellets it is micro-milled which lowers mechanical properties such as stiffness, HDT and CLTE. The figure below illustrates the results obtained using different feed sequences on a twin-screw co-rotating extruder. The content in the PP copolymer formulation is 12%. A very fine is used as a reference. The feed sequence has a significant impact on the final results: When fed downstream directly into the PP melt via the side-feeder, HAR demonstrates high stiffness performance compared to the very fine reference : a 12% flexural modulus increase, without impairing impact strength. Redispersion in the polymer matrix is excellent; When HAR is fed upstream with the PP pellets, the flexural modulus is lowered. The decrease is about 200 MPa, i.e. more than 10%. The feed sequence also alters the impact strength which could be due to poorer dispersion; dry friction can create small agglomerates which are difficult to detect using optical microscopy, but which could be sufficient to create weak zones in the composite.
