Description
LATEX FOR PACKAGING APPLICATIONS
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a latex polymer suitable for use as a paper coating. More particularly, the invention relates to a latex polymer having a low S surfactant content and high moisture and oil balTier properties that are useful in coating applications. The invention also relates to a paper coating which comprises the latex polymer.
Back~round of the Invention Polymers formed from emulsion processes are employed in a variety of applications including films and coatings which are applied to cellulose substrates. In particular, the coatings are used in commercial products such as microwave oven boxes, popcom bags, drinking cups, pet food bags, paper plates, and detergent boxes. These coatings are primarily designed to serve as a barrier to moisture and oil. The barrier facilitates the preservation of the contents of the paper package and is also required to prevent the package from leaking its contents to the outside. Also important to the design of these coatings is the rheological behavior of the emulsion latex. Typically, a coating will experience extremely high shear as it is applied to the cellulose substrate. This mandates that the coating be inherently stable.
Typical emulsion polymerization processes employ dispersants, i.e., surfactants,to provide stability to the polymerization system. In particular, a primary factor governing the stability relates to the charge on the surface of dispersed particles in the emulsion. When conventional soaps are utilized as the dispersants, the surface charge occurs primarily from the absorbed soap molecules which are mobile and in dynamic equilibrium with other particles in the emulsion.
The presence of the soaps, however, has been found to adversely effect latex polymer end properties such as moisture resistance. Accordingly, efforts have concentrated on lowering the surfactant content while m~int~ining the stability of the REP~ACEMENT PAGE

CA 0224131~ 1998-06-30 WO 97/25477 PCT~US96/18737 --2--mobile and in dynamic equilibrium with other particles in the emulsion.
The presence o~ the soaps, however, has been found to adversely effect latex polymer end properties such as moisture resistance. Accordingly, efforts have concentrated on lowering the surfactant content while maintaining the stability of the emulsion so as to obtain a more moisture resistant polymer. For example, U.S. Patent No. 3,882,070 to Ceska proposes a process for preparing latex which employs no emulsifier. In particular, the polymers ~ormed are disclosed to have sulfate end-capped groups.
In spite of these e~orts, there remains a need in the art to provide a latex coating composition which possesses other end properties in addition to moisture resistance. In particular, such properties are desirable in that they ~acilitate the processing of the coated substrate. Some of the critical parameters are the surface tension, coating rheology, mechanical emulsion stability, tensile strength o~ the coating, and repulpability.
As an example, the latex coating is often applied to plain paper using some coating application technique. Blade, rod, air knife and certain coaters are a few common application methods. Accordingly, it would be desirable that the coating possess appropriate rheology and emulsion stability to withstand the forces which are exerted by processing equipment. Failure to achieve this results in coating surface defects (scratches, skips, whiskering).
Additionally, it would be desirable that the coating exhibit repulpability such that the paper product may be recycled subsequent to use. A typical repulping process will use mechanical action to destabilize the coating and the pulp. This mechanical agitation serves to separate cellulose fibers and coating. Many times this requirement is in direct CA 0224131~ 1998-06-30 W O 97/25477 PCT~US96/18737 opposition to the requirements for a stable, rheologically balanced coating.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a latex polymer which possesses other desirable end properties in addition to moisture resistance.
Sum~ary of the Invention To this end, the present invention provides a low surfactant content latex polymer which possesses lo desirable end properties, including barrier resistance to moisture and oil. The latex polymer comprises an aryl vinyl monomer, an aliphatic conjugated diene monomer, and an acrylamide-ba~ed monomer. The latex polymer has less than about 1.0 percent by weight ~5 surfactant and has a moisture resistance of no greater than 290 g/m2/day as measured by ASTM Test D-1653-93.
In one embodiment, the acrylamide-based monomer may be selected from the group consisting of acrylamide, N-methyolacrylamide, N-methyolmeth-acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-isopropylacrylamide, N-tert-butylacrylamide, N-N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide, and blends and mixtures thereof.
Preferably, the aryl vinyl monomer is styrene and the aliphatic conjugated diene monomer is 1,3-butadiene.
The low surfactant content latex polymer mayfurther comprise a non-aromatic unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic ester monomer. The latex polymer may also further comprise an unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid monomer.
The present invention also provides a paper coating. Speci~ically, the paper coating comprises a barrier layer formed from a low surfactant latex polymer. The low surfactant latex polymer comprises an aryl vinyl monomer, an aliphatic conjugated diene monomer, and an acrylamide-based monomer. The latex CA 0224131~ 1998-06-30 W O 97/2S477 PCT~US96/18737 polymer has less than 1.0 percent by weight surfactant and has a moisture resistance of no greater than 290 g/m2/day as measured by ASTM Test D-1653.
