TY - CONF A1 - Weltschev, Margit A1 - Kohl, Anka A1 - Haufe, Manuela A1 - Heyer, Martina T1 - Compatibility of polyehtylene grades with biofuels and biodiesel-heating oil blends T2 - Corrosion 2015 N2 - The aim of this work was to study the interaction between high density polyethylene (HDPE) grades as material for dangeraus goods packagings and biofuels such as E10 (fuel with 10% ethanol), E85 (fuel with 85% ethanol), biodiesei and 810 (heating oil with 10% biodiesel). Jerricans made of two polyethylene grades were filled with these fuels and exposed to temperatures of 20 oc and 40 oc for more than one year. Tensile properlies (tensile strength, breaking elongation and elasticity modulus) and Melt Flow Rate (MFR) were determined, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to evaluate changes in the chemical structure. Measurements of the MFR and tensile properlies of the polyethylene grades after exposure to E1 0, E85 and 810 showed only a slightly damaging influence. A n increase in the peak of 1585 cm·1 for the (C=C) stretching vibrations was visible in the FTIR spectra after immersion tests with E85. A n increase in the MFR with the immersion time of the grades in biodiesei was measured - in parlicular, after one year of exposure. The elasticity modulus of the polyethylene grades was reduced with the immersion time too. The FTIR spectra showed a broadening of the C=O peak of 1740 cm·1 and the appearance of the hydroxyl group at 3500 cm·1.

The objective of this research is to study the interaction of the sealing materials FKM, EPDM, CR, CSM, N8R, IIR, VMQ, FVMQ and PA and biofuels such as non-aged and 2 year aged biodiesel (FAME), E1 0 (fuel with 10% ethanol, E85 (fuel with 85% ethanol} and non-aged and 1 year aged 810 (heating oil with 10% biodiesel) in comparison with premium grade fuel without ethanol. Exposure tests were performed with test specimens at 20 °C, 40 oc and 70 oc for 84 days to document the changes in mass, volume and tensile properties. The sealing materials FKM, FVMQ and PA were evaluated as resistant in E10, and FVMQ, VMQ and PA as resistant in E85 at 20 oc and 40 oc. S welling resulted from the high absorption by the elastemers CR, CSM, EPDM, IIR and N8R in comparison to their dissolution in non-aged biodiesei at 40 °C. FKM was still resistant in aged biodiesei at 40 oc but only to a limited degree at 70 °C. The sealing materials CR, CSM, EPDM, IIR and N8R were damaged to a high extent in non-aged and aged 810. Of all the sealing materials, FKM and FVMQ showed high compatibility with these biofuels up to 70 °C.
