Description
æ~
This invention relates to dispersant systems for talc to be used, for example, as a coating material in the paper industry. In ma~i:ng such dispersions, the objective is to disperse in a reasonably short-time, say 1 to 2 hours, as much talc as possi~le in a stable pumpable dispersion.
The smaller the particle size of the talc, the more difficult is this objective to achieve.
A known dispersant system which is capable of forming a dispersion of 68.5%7 based on the total dispersion, of talc having the ma~orjty of particles greater than 5.5~m ~suitable for paper filling~ has the follo~l-ing composition:
_ . ............ ~ .. ~ .. . _ .
Percent on dlspersion on talc As Dispersant: Disodium salt of copolymer of maleic anhydride and di-isobutylene .68 1-AsThickener: Carboxymethylcellulose .68S
For pHControl:lM NaOH solution .78 1.13 _ _ _ _ ___ However, for paper coating a talc is required having a m~Jority of particles less than 2.5ym. Known dispersants do not permit the dispersion of more than about 60% by weight of such particles.
According to our invention, it is possible to obtain a satisfactory dispersion of coating grade talc, if there are included in the dispersant system the following constituents:-(i) an organic polyelectrolyte dispersant (ii) a nonionic or anionic wetting agent, said system providinga pH of 7 to 11 in the dispersion.

- 2 The dispersant may, for example, be an alkali metal salt of a poly carboxylic acid, e.g. a copolymer of maleic anhydride and di-isobutylene or preferably a homo- or copolymer of acrylic acids. Other dispersants include carboxymethyl cellulose and naphthalene sulphonate/formaldehyde condensates.
The dispersant preferably has a weight average molecular weight less than 100,000 and a number average molecular weight greater than 1,000 .9. 1,000 to lO,OOO.
The wetting agent may be any of the known anionic or nonionic surface active agents, e.g. nonionic substances such as oxyethylated and/or oxy-propylated fatty alcohols9 fatty acids, alkylphenols or fatty amines, or anionic substances such as alkyl ether sulphates, olefin sulphonates, alkyl benzene sulphonates, alkyl phenol ether sulphates alkyl sulphates or amine ether sulphates. Particularly preferred are the di-alkyl sulpho-succinates.
Preferably the wetting agent has one or two alkyl groups having from 6 to 14 carbon atoms e.g. 8 to 10 carbon atoms. A typical example is di-octyl sulphosucc;nate, with either straight chain or branched chain alkyl groups.
The composition may optionally contain inorganic dispersants such as sodium or potassium polyphosphates~ silicates or hexametaphosphates.
It is desirable to avoid or reduce foam;ng, and according to pre-ferred embodiments of our invention, this may be achieved in one o~ three ways:-1. By seléction of a wetting agent (e.g. a dialkyl sulpho-succinate) which has relatively low foaming character.
2. By inclusion of an antifoam such as a fatty alcohol or silicone antifoam.

3. By use of mixing techniques which do not involve a substantial liquid/gas interface.
According to one embodiment our invention provides a sta~le pumpable dispersion in water of at least 60% by weight of the dispersion of talc having a majority of particles less than Z.5~m said dispersion containing from 0.1% to 2% based on the we;ght of talc of an organic polyelectrolyte dispersant having a number average molecular weight greater than l,000 and a weight average molecular weight less than lO0~000 and from 0.1% to 2:5%
based on the weight of talc of a nonionic or anionic wetting agent and having a pH between 7 and ll.
Preferably the dispersion contains at least 65% by weight of the talc, e.g. 65%to 75%. The preferred concentration of dispersant is 0.3 to 1% based on the weight of talc.
The preferred concentration of wetting agent is 0.5 to 2% based on the weight of talc. The preferred pH is 8 to 10.5.
The dispersant system of ~he invention may be manufactured as an aqueous concentrate containing 20 to 80% total of dispersant and wetting agent. The purchaser of this concentrate may add a base to adjust the final pH and then water to the required dilution~ before mixing with the talc.
The invention is illustrated by the following examples:-:
The ta1c to be dispersed, known as Lohjatalc PVlO had the followingspecification:-99.9% less than 20 ~m.99% less than lO ~m.
85% less than 5 ~m.
60% less than 2 ~.
35% less than l ~m.
The dispersion had the following composition:-Lt;~ 3 Lohjatalc PV10: 55% (dry weight)Empicryl APD (sodium salt of di-isobutylene - maleic anhydride copolymer, 25% so1ids); 0.49%(0.75% on talc) Empilan KA10/80, a blend of C10-12 fatty alcohol 10 moles ethoxylate5 80%; water 20%; 0.81% (1.25% on talc).
Molar sodium hydroxide solution; 0.73% (1.13% on talc).
Water;balance to 100%.
The dispersion was prepared by dissolving all the water-soluble components of the formulation in the balance of water required, and then adding the talc to the solution with the aid of a high-speed mixer over a period of 45/50 minutes.
The viscosity of the dispersion was measured by a Brookfield Viscometerat ambient temperature immediately after processing, and after three days storage. The slurry tended to thicken and sediment on standing, but could be readily reconstituted by mild agitation.

In both experiments it was not possible to disperse all the talc.
.
The experiment of example 7 was repeated using Lohjatalc PVlO with Dispex N40 as the polyelectrolyte dispersing agent. It was not possible to disperse all the talc.
According to one embodiment our invention provides a sta~le pumpable dispersion in water of at least 60% by weight of the dispersion of talc having a majority of particles less than Z.5~m said dispersion containing from 0.1% to 2% based on the we;ght of talc of an organic polyelectrolyte dispersant having a number average molecular weight greater than l,000 and a weight average molecular weight less than lO0~000 and from 0.1% to 2:5%
