  • Sodium dichloroisocyanurate is typically used to sterilize and disinfect water, it can be used in pools or other similar bodies of water to provide a slow and constant source of chlorine.
  • the structure of sodium dichloroisocyanurate can be of conflict when trying to encapsulate into PVA based films.
  • the freely available hydrogen on the OH groups of PVA can be reacted and thus making the film insoluble.
  • sodium dichloroisocyanurate can react with the moisture in the air to release free chlorine which then also reacts with the polymer backbone that typically compose PVA based films.
  • Typical PVA based film are not sufficient for the long term encapsulation of sodium dichloroisocyanurate due the reaction that occur with water that is absorbed through the film, and reactions that occur with the polymer that composes the film.
  • this invention aims to greatly reduce and eliminate that incompatibilities that exist with the encapsulation of sodium dichloroisocyanurate into PVA based films.
  • One such approach is to provide a barrier between the structure of PVA and sodium dichloroisocyanurate. This can be achieved through the addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the mixture of formulation to provide a barrier against moisture in the resulting final film.
  • PEG polyethylene glycol
  • sodium dodecyl sulfate can be added to allow for the uniform mixture of PEG into solution, and to provide additional assistance to the film's water solubility.
  • a second approach is to provide a stabilizing agent that can counteract the effect of sodium dichloroisocyanurate.
  • These compounds can be added to the formulation mixture, and remain embedded within the film, and protect the PVA polymer from reacting with sodium dichloroisocyanurate.
  • agents would be toxic or harmful to ingest or be in contact with, thus it is difficult to find an agent that can stabilize sodium dichloroisocyanurate but be relatively safe for human exposure.
  • One such compound is ascorbic acid, and it does provide the desired effect while remaining relatively safe for human contact.
  • both methods can be combined to achieve an increase in effective stabilization towards interaction of sodium dichloroisocyanurate with the film.
  • the emulsion mixture used for the preparation of the self-supporting film can be prepared as such.
  • the mixing vessel is heated and once the water is at the desired temperature, thepolymer mixture is added to the stirring solution, such as 88% hydrolyzed PVA.
  • the mixture is stirred until uniform.
  • a stabilizing agent such as ascorbic acid is added, followed by the addition of a surfactant, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate.
  • a moisture retention compound is added to mixture, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG).
  • PEG polyethylene glycol
  • the mixture solution should at this point be an emulsion of homogenous and uniform consistency.
  • a coloring agent may be added to the final solution thus allowing for colored film to be obtained.
  • the same mixture of chemicals used to form a homogenous emulsion solution for casting and film formation can be also be mixed into a dry homogenous mixture. This mixture can then be put through an extruder, maybe heated, and produce a ready film that should obtain the same properties as one formed from an emulsion mixture.
  • the modified emulsion can be introduced in a vessel and then cast into a film.
  • the processing can be any processing that can take an emulsion and form it into a film, which processing steps are not limited to those described herein. Examples can include extrusion, solution casting box apparatus, reverse roll coating casting, and other solution casting apparatus' known to those skilled in the art of solution casting.
  • the modified emulsion can be passed between rollers (e.g., casting rollers), and rolled onto a substrate at the desired wet gauge thickness.
  • the substrate can be a wax or silicone coated substrate that allows the film to be peeled therefrom once the film is stable.
  • the rollers can be adjusted to change the gap there between to change the wet gauge thickness of the film.
  • the film can be cured and solidified, such as by heating.
  • the film on the substrate can be passed through a heater (e.g., infrared heater) with air flow to provide convection heating, which is regulated to remove moisture from the film.
  • the film can be formed in this matter to inhibit rippling or other unfavorable characteristics, and may avoid blistering. Good throughout heating and curing can produce the desired film.
  • the film can be separated from the substrate. Such separation can include peeling, slicing, or parting the film from the substrate. The film can then be used in whole or cut into desired sizes.
  • the emulsion mixture is formed following this procedure.
  • D.I. water is added and the heat is set to a range of 30C tolOOC, or SO to 80C, or to approx. 70C.
  • the mixture is stirred at approx. 300RPM (this can vary).
  • the first compound to be added to the heated solution is sodium dodecyl sulfate. Allowing some time to stir to uniformity, polyethylene glycol is added to the stirring mixture. To this mixture then add ascorbic acid. Once stirred to uniformity, the 88% hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol powderis added to the mixture thus forming the backbone matrix of the film.
  • Blue coloring is finally added to obtain the desired color of the final film.
  • the mixture is then extracted from the vessel, and allowed to degas in a sealed container, until the solution is free of all major trapped gases. This solution is thus ready to be cast and formed into the final desired film or desired properties for encapsulation of sodium dichloroisocyanurate.
  • the emulsion can be taken from the existing mixing vessel or put into a run tank vessel and then it is cast on a line.
  • the process uses a very unique reversal roll method between two stainless steel rollers.
  • the casting roller in the front dictates the speed of the line.
  • a wax coated carrier paper or silicone paper or other coated or uncoated paper or other material starts at the casting box and can be used to carry the film forming composition through the oven.
  • the film is cast at the desired thickness to get a final thickness, and it goes through an infrared heater system, which has convection air flowing through from an exhaust fan to help draw the moisture off the film.
  • Good convection air flow in the tunnel that keeps the moisture coming off at a constant rate and as long as the line speeds matched with the temperature settings correctly, the process provides good uniform drying that doesn't have underneath wet spots under the film top layer.
  • the film is cast at the desired wet thickness to get the desired final thickness of the partially or completely dehydrated film.
  • the Film is dehydrated as it is carried through an infrared healer system, which has convection air flowing through from an exhaust fan to help draw the moisture off the film.
  • an infrared healer system By generating adequate convection air flow through the oven tunnel, moisture is evaporated from the film at a constant rate.
  • the speed of drying and the temperature settings are sufficiently matched, the end result is an evenly dried film.
  • This controlled heating and uniform heat application prevent the film from drying at an uneven pace which may cause a dried exterior covering wet film.
  • the dried film is collected on a spool containing the carrier paper (or other carrier medium) and the film at the end of the oven system.
  • ingredients may also be formed into the final film via the use of an extrusion method technique by those skilled in the art.
