it has found one now soluoien to the problem that allows to l fo coi6n of Inter Meetings allies to paa-tir of plastisol of resinaPVC conventional in olefinic polymer closings of high point of fusi6n.

it is of 10or l OO underneath the point of fusi6n of the closing. Elerre to the being sustanoialmen%e is transparent to the energy of microwaves, under does not warm up by i allergy of microwaves in no g1'ado imper%ento. He is essential that while e! plastisol this being oalentado by energy of io oond s the closing stays to a next temperature, proterribly so problem as reasonably it is possible, to his point do fusi6n by aplleaoión of some other type do heating, 'denominated aqu like “oalen%amionto norm”. In práotio serious dii: < br/>
I lie implioarA normally, (i) To preheat the closing oontenlendo plastisol Po average not male until a temperature is reached praxis to the point of fh si6n of the closing, normally of the order of 15 to 5oc below this pün%o of fhí i6n, with preference 10 to 9°C below the same, and prol £eribl even being to take plastisol to Im gelificado state or parcitaste fused; and (2) Eleva the temperature of plastísol by heating with miox-oonda i An to go it completamente.< br/>
The object of the process of I invention is reducing to the 9 m nimo dida of heat of plastisol during the oalentamiento by my co0 DAS. Therefore to be normally desirable to assure that temperé _ atura to omf rich next to the surface of plastisol, during the microwave heating, as close is as ea possible of the point of U.S.! 6n exiles, for example, lO-S°C below 10tunto of fueiSn. Position the EU the stage of microwave heating eféetua normally in an air oven, the previous necessity ig nor rubber plant normally the oalentamiente of the air of the furnace and/or provides “to I air made insolent to the same. < br/>
The closing oontenie Ado l meeting of plastisol fused can cool of any advisable way, for example, letting itself simply cool in ire, to a temperature denudada for manipu aci6n additional of oier the esenola of invenni6n is without producing damages in cierre° is that surprising h encon is accepted that cu l is possible to fuse the plantista completely can be or plastisol of conventional polyvinyl chloride by means of one oembinaoi6n of nor heating microwaves and normal heating, is delirious normally by means of conduooi6n or í'adiaei6n of long wavelength the more. In this way, the uperfioie is even based of. < br/>

The invention is of particular application to oierl'es done of pollpropil not which has tul normally fusion point of 165oG apl'oximadameñte. ; rao%erlsticas is the s preferred do i i venolón will describe to continuaoi6n Ircinolpalmente well 0oli particular referenoie poliprop! joint I must be understood that I invenci6n can pl osrse to other nicos polymers olef qu. the homopollmeros and copollmeres of hydrocarbons are transparent to radlaoiOn of mloroondas mainly.

Even oontempl like I or under evidently extreme that invosoi6n to be plicable to HD polythene closings which has not 0 l -0 mind a point of fusi6n %en under the Congo 13p C. For this aim utillzal' will be necessary plas%isol do under point of íh sí6n, IMR example approximately 14000, that preferably to oxporlmentarthe 8nt8rlormente desoritas disadvantages) if embargo since the previous process could not sa absolutely producer, invenoí6n represents despite a valuable advance éen±co and técnica.< br/>
I temperature to cusl stays the closing to him during or i: h. t • the microwave heating is from a temperature superiol' usua! of 5cO Jor underneath the point do fusion of the closing until a t mperatura inferior preferred of approximately 40oC below the point of fuei6n of plastisel. For the 10olipropileno closings, in the preferred range of temFsraturas to which it is warmed up the closing is of 14516000, m s preferably do 150-160°C. For plastisoles conveneionales it is probable that not ses of utility a temperature of the closing superior to 35eC poxdebajo of the point of fuc1 ion of the closing, that is to say normally inferior to 130°C freckle polypropylene. Pa” to plastisol of minor pLmtc of fusion is possible unites temperature of the closing baj Whichever minor is more fusion temperature of polymer of the closing, 1 oohveniente s to be to maintain the temperature of oier - and within the g ma of 5-150C, with preference 5-I0°C below the point of fusi6n. For a closing made of HD polythene aa of temperature preferred of 12k is contemplated therefore to a g) - 125°C approximates damente properly the normal heating efeotua warming up eire surrounded around eierre for example, m one antec& mara to i secoi6n of oalentamiento by mícroondP.s of the furnace. Naturally he is advisable to above transfer the closing from a preheating point waters of a sickle, not of microwaves with one p6 rdida of as small heat as reasonably it is possible. The closings will normally oolooarán in i furnace of microwaves in their inverted position (the other way around in mpa” aeión with his posioi6n when it makes sure on the neck of the container). < br/>
Several sequences of precalentamlento are possible, as < is described next.; br/>
Plastíeol used in the invention will be normally a p] and s tisol of a vinyl chloride polymer, for example chloride DM same polyvinyl or c0 p01 mer0 of chloride of vinyl with vinyl acetate. The vinyl chloride polymer (ho opol mere or I conglomerate) can be in the form of “quality of grazes”. The terrino “quality of grazes” is used in the technique to represent preparaos a fine size of part ulas of the resin Po pol erizaci6ll in emulsion. In this ca or, the proportion of units do vinyl acetate in the copollluero is with preferenela superior to 5% in weight, not having in cue ta the rebie ace of stability of viscosity previously menclon8doe. Alternatively, part of the chloride chicken farmer d vlni-: , (homopol m ro or I conglomerate) podria er tremesina and carg,”. It is I finish to you used in the technique for a head of cattle: na developed relatively recently, prepared by olimer! zac£6n in suspens 6n. The polymer in suspension is of particles m and coarse and it does not absorb plastlficante during the heating of plastisol. This resin of confronts can tolerate a major contained in unidade vinyl acetate in and biopolymer, for example, up to 14% in p flO Can sea of vocalic mere utility another one copel, for example a copoAímero of 95% in weight of the chloride of vinyl and 5% in - 13 ', i, elolohexilmaleilmida weight of. Preferably, plastisol ze chooses so that its temperature of i siSn no, ea superior to 15oc Po enolma of the temperature of fusi6n of t.ap ° Naturally this tesbaratura d9 i si6n can be igua! or inferior to the temperature of fusi6n of the cover in a factor of until lO°C, based on the balance wished between i attainment of fusiSn completes and evltao more faciimente! 6n of the worse one of the disadvantages; of plastisoles of low point of fusión.< br/>
The present proportion of plastlficmute in plastíaol of resin of vinyl can be any proporoi6n conventional normally of 60 to 8 parts in weight of plastificante by lO0 parts in ao of resin vindicates. A Rea'titular advantage of plastificantes is invenoi6n is that they can be used fCalato ftalato conventionalism for example of xilotila or of dlisoocti! or that is faoilmente in comerolo.
