Description

Transparentpapier und Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Transparentpapieres Tracing paper and process for making a tracing paper

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Transparentpapier und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Transparentpapieres.The invention relates to a transparent paper and a method for producing a transparent paper.

Um von hinten beleuchtete Flächen, die farbig, graphisch oder auf andere Weise ausgestaltet sind, bereitzustellen, ist man bislang auf den Einsatz von Kunststoffolien, meist als "Backlight-Folien" bezeichnet, angewiesen, da alle bekannten Transparentpapiere eine verschiedene Phasen aufweisende Grundstruktur besitzen, die sich beim Durchscheinen mit der eigentlichen Farbe bzw. graphischen Darstellung vermengt und auf diese Weise eine brilliante und konturscharfe Wiedergabe der auf dem Transparentpapier befindlichen Darstellung verhindert.In order to provide backlit surfaces that are colored, graphically or otherwise, it has hitherto been necessary to use plastic foils, usually referred to as "backlight foils", since all known transparent papers have a basic structure which has different phases, which mixes with the actual color or graphic representation when shining through and in this way prevents a brilliant and sharply contoured reproduction of the representation on the transparent paper.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Transparent bereitzustellen, welches sich als von hinten beleuchtetes Medium eignet. Des weiteren liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines solchen Transparentpapieres anzugeben.Based on this, the object of the invention is to provide a transparency which is suitable as a backlit medium. Furthermore, the invention is based on the object of specifying a method for producing such a transparent paper.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Transparentpapier, welches zumindest eine Transparentschicht aus dicht gepackten, hoch ausgemahlenen Fasern, die Transparenz reduzierende Füllstoffe enthält, umfasst. Die Erfindung beruht auf der überraschenden Erkenntnis, dass der Transparentschicht Füllstoffe beigefügt werden können, ohne die Transparenz wesentlich zu beeinträchtigen, wobei der Begriff "transparent" hier im Sinne von "durchscheinend" (nicht-notwendigerweise durchsichtig) verwendet wird. Der Einsatz der Füllstoffe ermöglicht es erstmals, die ansonsten bei Transparentpapieren normalerweise sichtbaren Unregelmäßigkeiten zu kaschieren, da die Füllstoffe das durchtretende Licht diffus reflektieren, was zu einer durchaus gewünschten Reduzierung der Transparenz und insbesondere zu einer homogenen milchglasartigen Durchsicht führt.The object is achieved by means of a transparent paper which comprises at least one transparent layer of densely packed, highly ground fibers which contain transparency-reducing fillers. The invention is based on the surprising finding that fillers can be added to the transparent layer without significantly impairing the transparency, the term "transparent" being used here in the sense of "translucent" (not necessarily transparent). The use of the fillers makes it possible, for the first time, to conceal the irregularities that would otherwise normally be seen in transparent papers, since the fillers diffusely reflect the light passing through, which leads to a desired reduction in transparency and, in particular, to a homogeneous frosted glass-like view.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung enthalten die Fasern der Transparentschicht Sulfat-Zellstoffasern, insbesondere langfaserige Sulfat-Zellstoffasern sowie Füllstoffe mit einem Gesamtgewicht von l bis 6 % des Gesamtgewichts der in der Transparentschicht enthaltenden Fasern.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fibers of the transparent layer contain sulfate pulp fibers, in particular long-fiber sulfate pulp fibers and fillers with a total weight of 1 to 6% of the total weight of the fibers contained in the transparent layer.

Als Füllstoffe haben sich Silicate, insbesondere Silicate aus der Gruppe der gefällten Calcium-, Aluminium-, Calcium-Aluminium- und Natrium- Aluminium-Silicate sowie ein Bleisilicat besonders bewährt. Durch den Einsatz dieser Füllstoffe entstehen im Papier zwei Phasen, wobei es an den Grenzflächen der Phasen zu einer Brechung des Lichtes und aufgrund des Sihcataufbaus sowie der Größe der Füllstoffe zu einer diffusen Streuung des Durchlichts kommt, so dass das Transparentpapier bei Beleuchtung von hinten gleichmäßig "milchig" erscheint. Die Füllstoffe wirken dabei wie wasserunlösliche, sich gegenüber den sonstigen Inhaltsstoffen der Transparentschicht chemisch neutral verhaltende, also mit diesen keine Bindungen eingehende Pigmente von kleinster Teilchengröße und sind im Regelfall weiß. Zur Erzielung besonderer Effekte können jedoch auch farbige Pigmente eingesetzt werden. Als besonders zweckmäßig hat es sich erwiesen, wenn die Korngröße der Pigmente zwischen 0,5 und 2,0 μm liegt.Silicates, in particular silicates from the group of precipitated calcium, aluminum, calcium aluminum and sodium aluminum silicates, and a lead silicate have proven particularly useful as fillers. The use of these fillers results in two phases in the paper, with the light refraction at the interfaces of the phases and a diffuse scattering of the transmitted light due to the Sihcat structure and the size of the fillers, so that the transparent paper is evenly illuminated when illuminated from behind " milky "appears. The fillers act like water-insoluble, compared to the other ingredients of The transparent layer is chemically neutral, that is, it does not enter into bonds with the smallest particle size and is usually white. However, colored pigments can also be used to achieve special effects. It has proven particularly expedient if the grain size of the pigments is between 0.5 and 2.0 μm.

Liegt der Brechungsindex der Pigmente ungefähr in der Größenordnung des Brechnungsindexes der Fasern der Transparentschicht, also Übehrlicherweise zwischen 1 ,5 und 1 ,6, wobei Zellulose einen Brechungsindex von 1 ,53 und die Pigmente aus den vorgenannten Materialien einen Brechungsindex von 1 ,56 bis 1 ,57 haben, und beträgt die Silicatkonzentration bezogen auf den Zellstoffmasseeinsatz etwa 2 bis 5 % , so erhält man ein Transparentpapier mit einer Transparenz von 30 bis 40 % , welches sich hervorragend zur Anwendung in Leuchtkästen und dergleichen eignet.If the refractive index of the pigments is approximately in the order of magnitude of the refractive index of the fibers of the transparent layer, i.e. usually between 1.5 and 1.6, cellulose has a refractive index of 1.53 and the pigments from the aforementioned materials have a refractive index of 1.56 to 1 , 57, and the silicate concentration based on the cellulose pulp is about 2 to 5%, so you get a transparent paper with a transparency of 30 to 40%, which is ideal for use in light boxes and the like.

Um eine gute Wasseraufnahmekapazität zu erreichen und das Transparentpapier gegen Wellenbildung und Knittern resistent zu machen, sollte das Papiergewicht der Transparentschicht, die sogenannte Grammage, im Bereich von 100 bis 250 g/nr, vorzugsweise zwischen etwa 150 und 200 g/m2 liegen, so dass das Papier einerseits stabil genug, andererseits aber auch elastisch genug ist, um zum Beispiel mittels handelsüblicher Tintenstahl- Drucker und -Plotter verarbeitet zu werden. Wegen der dichten Phaserpackung kann auf der Transparenzschicht eine Tintenaufnahmeschicht vorgesehen sein, die von der Transparenzschicht getragen wird. Hierdurch lässt sich ein Verlaufen von aufgebrachter flüssiger Farbe, insbesondere beim Bedrucken mittels Tintenstrahl-Druckern reduzieren bzw. zur Gänze vermeiden. Darüber hinaus lässt sich eine starke Wellenbildung der Transparenzschicht bei der Aufnahme von Feuchtigkeit vermeiden. Auf diese Weise lässt sich ein Druckbild mit scharfen Konturen bereitstellen, da die Farben dann weniger verlaufen, wobei unter dem Begriff "Farbe" hier auch schwarz verstanden wird.In order to achieve a good water absorption capacity and to make the transparent paper resistant to wave formation and creasing, the paper weight of the transparent layer, the so-called grammage, should be in the range of 100 to 250 g / nr, preferably between approximately 150 and 200 g / m 2 that the paper is sturdy enough on the one hand, but on the other hand also elastic enough to be processed, for example, using a standard ink-steel printer and plotter. Because of the dense phaser packing, an ink receiving layer can be provided on the transparency layer, which is carried by the transparency layer. In this way, bleeding of applied liquid ink, in particular when printing by means of inkjet printers, can be reduced or avoided entirely. In addition, a strong wave formation of the transparency layer can be avoided when absorbing moisture. In this way, a printed image with sharp contours can be provided since the colors then run less, whereby the term "color" is also understood to mean black here.

Im vorliegenden Zusammenhang ist der Begriff "Tinte" bzw. "Tintenaufnahmeschicht" in seiner allgemeinsten Form zu verstehen und umfasst jede Schicht, die geeignet ist, eine Farbe, Pigmente oder Tinten oder ähnliches in geeigneter Weise aufzunehmen und die nachteiligen Eigenschaften der Transparenzschicht zu vermindern. Insbesondere kann die Tintenaufnahmeschicht für eine Aufnahme von Tinten aus Tintenstrahl- Druckern ausgebildet sein. Sie kann aber auch für Siebdruck- oder Airbrush- Verfahren ausgelegt werden.In the present context, the term “ink” or “ink-receiving layer” is to be understood in its most general form and includes any layer which is suitable for appropriately absorbing a color, pigments or inks or the like and for reducing the disadvantageous properties of the transparency layer. In particular, the ink-receiving layer can be designed to receive inks from ink-jet printers. But it can also be designed for screen printing or airbrushing processes.

Als Tintenaufnahmeschicht, die man auch als Farbaufnahmeschicht bezeichnen könnte, hat sich beispielsweise eine Mischung aus teilverseiftem Polyvinylalkohol und/oder Polyvinylpyrrohdon, insbesondere im Verhältnis von 9: 1 , besonders bewährt. Um diese Schicht auf der Transparentschicht zu fixieren und gleichzeitig die Wasserfestigkeit gegen die bei üblichen Tintenstrahl-Druckern verwendeten Tinten zu verbessern, hat sich beispielsweise ein boraxhaltiges Bindemittel als zweckmäßig erwiesen. Dabei beruht dann die Fixierung der Tintenaufnahmeschicht auf der Transparentschicht auf einer Komplexbildung zwischen dem Polyvinylalkohol und dem Borax, wobei sich im sauren pH-Bereich ein Polyvinylalkohol-Borsäure-Monodiolkomplex ausbildet. Bei Verschiebung des pH-Wertes ins Alkalische entsteht ein Polyvinylalkohol-Borsäure- Diolkomplex. Zur Fixierung des Polyvinylalkohols eignen sich mehrwertige Metallionen der IV. bis VI. Hauptgruppe des Periodensystems insbesondere. Hier führen bereits geringe Konzentrationen zur Gelierung des Polyvinylalkohols.For example, a mixture of partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol and / or polyvinylpyrrohdon, in particular in a ratio of 9: 1, has proven particularly useful as an ink receiving layer, which could also be called a color receiving layer. In order to fix this layer on the transparent layer and at the same time to improve the water resistance against the inks used in conventional inkjet printers, there has been for example, a borax-containing binder has proven to be useful. The fixation of the ink-receiving layer on the transparent layer is then based on a complex formation between the polyvinyl alcohol and the borax, a polyvinyl alcohol-boric acid-monodiol complex being formed in the acidic pH range. When the pH is shifted to alkaline, a polyvinyl alcohol-boric acid-diol complex is formed. Polyvalent metal ions from IV to VI are suitable for fixing the polyvinyl alcohol. Main group of the periodic table in particular. Even low concentrations lead to the gelation of the polyvinyl alcohol.

Es versteht sich, dass eine derartige Tintenaufnahmeschicht auch unabhängig von den übrigen Eigenschaften der Transparenzschicht bzw. der Transparentpapieres für ein Bedrucken von Papierschichten mit extrem hohen Faserpackungen geeignet ist. Insbesondere kann eine derartige Schicht auch bei üblichen Transparentpapieren vorteilhaft Verwendung finden.It goes without saying that such an ink receiving layer is also suitable for printing on paper layers with extremely high fiber packs, regardless of the other properties of the transparency layer or the transparent paper. In particular, such a layer can also be used advantageously with conventional transparent papers.

Bei der Herstellung des Transparentpapieres kann zum Beispiel so vorgegangen werden, dass zunächst eine später die Tintenaufnahmeschicht tragende Papierschicht mit dicht gepackten Fasern aus einer hoch ausgemahlenen Zellstoffmasse unter Beifügung von wasserunlöslichen Pigmenten mit einem Anteil zwischen 2 und 5 Gewichtsprozent bezogen auf die Zellstoffmasse hergestellt wird. Sodann wird aus teil verseiftem Polyvinylalkohol und Polyvinylpyrrohdon ein Tintenaufnahmefluid angemischt, welches schließlich auf die Transparentschicht unter Beifügung eines boraxhaltigen Bindemittels aufgebracht wird.The transparent paper can be produced, for example, by first producing a paper layer with densely packed fibers from a highly ground pulp with the addition of water-insoluble pigments with a proportion of between 2 and 5 percent by weight, based on the pulp, with the densely packed fibers. Then an ink-receiving fluid is made from partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrohdon mixed, which is finally applied to the transparent layer with the addition of a borax-containing binder.

Dabei kann die als Tintenaufnahmeschicht wirkende Polymerlösung mit üblichen Beschichtungsverfahren wie zum Beispiel Rollrakel , Blade und anderen gängigen Beschichtungsverfahren auf das Transparentpapier aufgebracht werden. Je nach Art der verwendeten Beschichtungstechnik und -maschine können beim Beschichten der Transparentschicht mit der Tintenaufnahmeschicht Beschichtungsgeschwindigkeiten von bis zu 100 m/min erreicht werden.The polymer solution acting as an ink-receiving layer can be applied to the transparent paper using conventional coating methods such as, for example, doctor blades, blades and other common coating methods. Depending on the type of coating technology and machine used, coating speeds of up to 100 m / min can be achieved when coating the transparent layer with the ink-receiving layer.

Im Rahmen des Erfindungsgedankens sind zahlreiche Abwandlungen und Weiterbildungen möglich, die sich zum Beispiel auf den Anteil und die Art der eingesetzten Füllstoffe sowie auf die Art und Zusammensetzung der als Tintenaufnahmeschicht wirkenden Schicht beziehen. Erfindungswesentlich ist jedenfalls, dass das Transparentpapier aus wenigstens zwei Schichten, nämlich einer Transparentschicht und einer Tinten- bzw. Farbaufnahmeschicht besteht und dass dem Transparentpapier transparenzreduzierende Füllstoffe beigemischt sind. Within the framework of the inventive concept, numerous modifications and further developments are possible, which relate, for example, to the proportion and type of fillers used and to the type and composition of the layer which acts as an ink-receiving layer. In any case, it is essential to the invention that the transparent paper consists of at least two layers, namely a transparent layer and an ink or ink absorption layer, and that the transparent paper is admixed with fillers that reduce transparency.
