Description
WATER DISPERSIBLE COMPOSITION FOR TREATING PAPER
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a water-dispersible composition, which when applied to paper, or cardboard gives a low permeability for grease, gas, moisture and has no tacky, sticky or abrasive behaviour with a high solid content and a low viscosity and no dilatant behaviour (in high shear area) made using the foregoing composition.
Background of the invention
Recently, form the standpoint of saving resources, a demand of collecting used paper and regenerating papers again after dissolving the papers in water has been increased.
It is required for the papers meeting the demand to have a so-called easily macerating property, that is, when the paper is dissolved in water the paper is easily macerated into fine fibrous forms. A composition for making an easily macerating moisture proof paper is known from WO- A.2004/022647.
The composition is based upon a mixture of polyvinyl butyral, styrene maleic imide and ethylene acrylate and possibly other components. As such satisfactory results have been obtained, but the use of polyvinyl butyral offers a number of disadvantages. As such this product is difficult to produce and always contains residue of solvent, which can lead to unwanted effects in the paper to be coated with the final composition. Furthermore polyvinyl butyral is difficult to bring into a suspension and depending upon the pH-value the emulsion may be unstable. Normally the pH should be at least 9. When lower pH-values are to be used polyvinyl butyral must be dispersed and therefore a solvent must be used.
Also a composition like this gives a high Tack (sticky behaviour) when coated (or treated by size or film press) on the paper. These compositions have also a low solid content with a high viscosity.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a composition, for making a water repellent paper with a low permeability for grease and moisture vapour, consisting of the components (A) to (B), in the following weight (wt) percentages comprising one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of :
• (A) 20-90 wt % styrene butadiene latex (SBR), styrene acrylate latex and ethylene acrylate latex • (B) 10-80 wt % spherical solid / hollow micro glass beads.
Detailed description of the invention
The present invention is described in detail below. The aqueous emulsion of the present invention contains the components (A), and (B) described above as the essential components.
Component (A) is 20 to 90 % by weight of SBR. If the content of the SBR in the composition of the present invention is below 20 wt %; the paper obtained with such emulsion has poor grease repulsive properties and a too high moisture permeability. A composition with more than 90 wt % of SBR has a too high tack (sticky behaviour).
A preferred composition comprises 20 to 90 wt % SBR. Paper treated with a composition according to the invention comprising less than 32 wt % of SBR can be macerated with a home mixer using a low mixing speed while a paper casted from a thus obtained pulp exhibits no sticky and agglomerated particles. Paper treated with a composition comprising at least 28 wt % of the SBR turned out to have an excellent resistance against penetration of solvents.
SBR generally is used as an emulsion in water. A suitable concentration of the SBR emulsion is about 50 wt %. A concentration above 50 wt % is hard to process due to its fast drying character.
The emulsion comprises SBR particles with a preferred average particle size of between 5 and 1000 nm. In order to stabilize the SBR emulsion, the emulsion further comprise an emulsifier.
Component (B) is 10 to 80 % by weight of spherical solid/hollow micro glass beads, spherical solid/hollow micro glass beads can be coated and uncoated (the coating act as a coupling agent between the spherical solid/hollow micro glass beads and the binder, and changing the surface activity of the composition). Preferable their diameter is between 5 nanometers and 50 micrometers.
The aqueous emulsion of the present invention can be produced by, for example, the following method. The SBR emulsion as the component (A) is placed in a vessel equipped with a stirrer and stirred to an extent of not forming bubbles. Component (B) is added and followed by stirring for mixing. The aqueous emulsion of the present invention can be thus obtained.
The invention further relates to an easily macerating grease-proof paper comprising a base paper being coated (or treated) on at least one surface thereof a layer of an aqueous emulsion comprising a water-dispersible composition according to the invention, wherein the solid content in the aqueous emulsion is from 10 to 85 % by weight. Preferably the solid content is from 25 to 75 % by weight. Within the range from 40 to 75 wt % the viscosity of the composition according to the invention is suitable for processing on a coating machine. The viscosity of a composition with 45 to 65 wt % of solid content allows processing on high speed paper coating machines. The easily macerating grease-proof paper/carboard of the present invention is obtained by coating (or other form of treatment) the aqueous emulsion on at least one surface of a base paper in an amount of from 1 to 75 g/m2. If the amount of the aqueous emulsion used is below 1 g/m2, the paper obtained has poor grease-proof property and water repellency by the formation of pinholes and the occurrence of fluffing of the fibers of the base paper, while if the amount of the aqueous emulsion is above 75 g/m2 no relevant improvement of the vapor transmission rate is obtained.
A kraft paper, a wood free paper, a corrugated board base paper, etc., can be used as the base paper, but the base paper used in the present invention is not limited to those.
For obtaining the easily macerating grease-proof paper of the present invention, for example, the definite amount of the aqueous emulsion is coated (or other treatment) on a base paper with e.g. a blade, a rollercoater or an air-knife coater, and dried at a temperature of higher than about 125 °C. and up to 200 0C. In addition, when the drying temperature is too low, it sometimes happens that the easily macerating moisture-proof paper obtained is inferior in the grease-proof property.
The easily macerating moisture-proof paper of the present invention is most suitably used in a wide field, for example, as a wrapping paper, a water-resistant corrugated fibreboard paper, food packaging paper or carboard, petfood packaging paper or carboard, a wrapping paper for copying paper owing to the excellent characteristics.
An extra advantage of the present invention is that the composition according to the invention is free of halogens, has a high resistance against solvents and can be applied on-line on a paper production machine. A paper treated with the composition of the invention exhibits a high oxygen barrier, which makes it very suitable for the packaging of food.
