Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a frame profile comprising a foamed insert, in particular a profile for manufacturing a frame of a door or window.
  • Window frames and door frames are known to be manufactured in aluminum or PVC or wood.
  • Aluminum frames generally comprise profiles with an inner and an outer shell coupled by a thermal bridge.
  • This thermal bridge is known to comprise a structure in a non-thermal conductive material such as polyamide, extending between the inner shell and outer shell, thereby defining one or several inner chambers.
  • This thermal bridge does not or only on a very limited scale provide structural strength to the profile and should be kept as small as possible to ensure structural integrity of the profile as such.
  • the structural strength of the profile is key to minimizing width of the frame for supporting a glass panel or such.
  • EP 2,080,864 discloses an insert for frame profiles comprising a thermal insulating foam and a structural strengthening band embedded therein.
  • An inconvenience of this type of insert is that it is rather difficult to insert it into the inner chamber of a profile and in that it does not provide a support over the entire surface of the inner chamber wherein the insert is provided.
  • the present invention meets this demand by providing a specific foamed insert for frame profiles.
  • the present invention concerns a frame profile comprising a foamed insert, characterized in that said foam is shape memory polymer foam.
  • the present invention further concerns a kit of parts comprising a frame profile having an inner chamber and a shape memory polymer foam strip, the foam having a Tg above room temperature (20°C).
  • the present invention further addresses the use of a shape memory polymer foam as an insert for a profile for the manufacturing of a frame and a door or window comprising such a frame profile.
  • the present invention concerns a method for manufacturing such a frame profile.
  • the frame profile preferably comprises walls defining an inner chamber wherein said foam is inserted in its compressed state and wherein substantially the entire outer surface of the foam insert contacts the inner surface of said inner chamber upon foam expansion.
  • the foam used for the insert is preferably a polyurethane foam with a Tg (glass transition temperature) above room temperature, preferably between 20 and 120°C, more preferably between 30 and 70°C, even more preferably between 40 and 60°C and even more preferably between 50 and 55°C.
  • Tg glass transition temperature
  • the kit of parts wherein the foam strip is compressed to have a cross section dimension smaller than the cross section dimension of the inner chamber of the profile.
  • Figure 1 represents a cross sectional perspective view of an aluminum type of frame profile 1 according to the present invention.
  • the profile comprises an inner shell 2 and an outer shell 3 that are connected to each other by a thermal bridge 4.
  • the thermal bridge comprises two legs 5, 6 each extending longitudinally and at a distance from each other between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 3, thereby defining an inner chamber 7.
  • Figure 3 represents a PVC type frame profile according to the present invention, the profile comprising at least four longitudinally extending legs defining an inner chamber 8.
  • the inner chamber is provided with a foam insert 9 so that substantially the entire outer surface 9 of the foam insert contacts the inner surface of said inner chamber 7, 8.
  • the foam is a shape memory polymer foam, preferably a shape memory polyurethane (PU) foam.
  • Shape memory polymer foams are hereby defined as foams that remain compressed (or deformed) if they are compressed at a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer and then cooled below Tg in their compressed or deformed state. They substantially recover from their compressed state to their expanded state when heated to a temperature higher than Tg.
  • the expanded state is the shape of the shape memory material after it is manufactured and before it is compressed. The recovery of the foam to its expanded shape is referred to as "shape memory”.
  • the shape memory polymer foam of the present invention can be made from styrene-butadiene polymers, crystalline diene polymers, norbornane polymers, and the like. Most preferably, the shape memory polymer foam is a polyurethane foam or a poly-isocyanate based foam having a Tg which is above room temperature. The foam is rigid at room temperature and becomes elastic when it is heated above the Tg.
  • the properties, such as Tg, of the shape memory polyurethane foam are achieved by careful selection of the polyurethane foam forming components, such as the used polyisocyanate (not limited to TDI, MDI, NCO-terminated prepolymer), the used polyol (not limited to a polyether, polyester, polycarbonate, OH-terminated prepolymer), and the used chain extender.
  • the used polyisocyanate not limited to TDI, MDI, NCO-terminated prepolymer
  • the used polyol not limited to a polyether, polyester, polycarbonate, OH-terminated prepolymer
  • the used chain extender such as the used chain extender.
  • these properties can be tailored in such a way that even below Tg, i.e. in rigid state, the foam can be mechanically compressed up to 25 % without destructing the cellular foam structure and even fulfilling its shape memory function at temperatures above Tg.
  • the PU foam preferably has a Tg above room temperature and below the melting or deterioration temperature of the most heat sensitive material delimiting the chamber wherein the foam is inserted.
  • the Tg of the shape memory polymer foam is preferably not higher than the temperature to which the thermal bridge itself (i.e. in an non-assembled state with the outer and inner shells 2, 3) can be exposed without damaging it.
  • the Tg of the shape memory polymer foam is preferably below 55°C.
  • the shape memory polymer foam has a Tg higher than room temperature such that it can easily be stored and transported in a compressed form, without expanding.
  • a Tg of the shape memory polymer foam ranging between 20°C and 120°C, or better between 30 and 70°C, or even better between 40°C and 60°C is preferred.
  • Most preferred is a Tg ranging between 50°C and 55°C, in which case the shape memory polymer foam remains in its structurally more rigid condition at normal temperatures to which door- and window frames are exposed in normal use.
  • the shape memory polymer foam preferably has an open cell structure.
  • the open cell structure can be achieved in various ways, for example by appropriate selection of cell openers and/or surfactants, or by reticulation methods applied on foams in their elastic state (above Tg).
  • the open cell structure of the foam allows it to be compressed to a much larger degree. If the shape memory polymer foam is of closed cell structure, it recovers to its original shape rapidly upon expansion of the cell gas which has been compressed in the cells during compression.
  • the cells in the shape memory polymer foam should have a cell diameter in the range of between 200 ⁇ m and 800 ⁇ m or lower in order to obtain good thermal insulation properties.
  • the foam is further preferably a hydrophobic foam to prevent water absorption and loss of thermal insulation properties over an extended period of time.
  • the shape memory polymer foam may have a cellular or a micro-cellular structure, having a density (in expanded state) in the range of from 25 kg/m3 and 800 kg/m3. Most preferably the shape memory polymer foam has a density between 25 kg/m3 and 200 kg/m3, in view of the ease of compression.
  • a frame profile according to the present invention can exhibit improved structural properties of the thermal bridge or parts of the profile due to the presence of the expanded shape memory polymer foam exerting an evenly divided pressure outwardly directed on the side walls of the inner chamber 7, 8.
  • the evenly divided pressure is preferably achieved by dimensioning the foam strip such that when allowed to fully expand to its original dimensions, it has a height or width or a height and width larger than the height and/or width of the inner chamber wherein it is inserted
  • the profile is assembled by inserting the foam, which will be typically in the form of a strip 10 of compressed shape memory polymer foam having cross sectional dimensions (height or width or both) smaller than the cross sectional dimensions (height or width or both) of the inner chamber, in that inner chamber 7, 8, such as represented in figure 2 .
  • Compression of the foam strip can be achieved on site by introducing an expanded foam strip between a pair of rolls (heated slightly above the Tg of the foam) and immediate insertion of the compressed strip in the profile.
  • the profile can be heated up to a temperature above the Tg of the shape memory polymer foam used, such that the foam strip will expand until it takes the shape of the inner chamber thereby contacting substantially the entire inner surface of said inner chamber 7, 8.
  • This method wherein the foam is expanded in the profile before sizing the profile, allows to obtain a good control on the use of the foam and especially to guarantee that the foam is applied over the entire length of the profile without interruption and to prevent that debris originating from further handling of the profile enters the inner chamber. In this way an optimal insulation of the frame by the foam is assured.
  • the foam strip can be inserted and expanded before the thermal bridge is connected to the inner and outer shells 2, 3 of the profile. Otherwise, it is also possible to insert the strip in the inner chamber of the profile or the thermal bridge, to size the profile and assemble the frame of a door or window, and to heat the sized profile or frame above Tg of the foam to expand said foam. In this case, heating of the frame can be combined with the production step of drying a lacquer coating provided in the frame.
  • the foam strip will remain in place due to friction with the walls of the inner chamber and one can guarantee that substantially the entire inner chamber is filled with foam, thereby assuring thermal insulation, damping and sound insulation properties.
  • the present invention allows for providing alternative profile structures having different choice of selection of materials, wall thickness of the profiles and/or design of single or multiple chamber profile cross sections. Hence, efficient and cost effective optimization of profiles is obtained.
