The preparation method of cationic waterborne polyurethane surface sizing agent and application
Technical field
The invention belongs to the organic binder bond field, relate to a kind of preparation method of cationic waterborne polyurethane surface sizing agent.
Background technology
Applying glue is the important step in the paper-making process, and it can give paper product certain liquid-repellency energy, and increases its intensity.The applying glue process is to utilize the hydrophobic nature material to be covered in the paper fiber surface to form one deck hydrophobic film, reduces the fiber surface free energy, thereby resists water or other liquid in the diffusion of fiber surface, wetting or infiltration, and the material that possesses this performance is referred to as sizing agent.Applying glue has two kinds of methods, and a kind of is that when batching (making beating or) makes an addition to sizing agent and be called plasm-glue-blending in the paper pulp before paper sheet formation, and another kind is to cover with paint, lacquer, colour wash, etc. in paper surface to be called top sizing behind paper sheet formation.Top sizing can improve the printing performance of paper and cardboard, improves anti-oil, anti-water, durable and wear resistance, improves physical strength, and the two sides of minimizing even elimination paper is poor.
Surface Size can be divided into natural polymer Surface Size and polymer Surface Sizing Agent.Last century the nineties, starch based natural polymer Surface Size consumption accounts for more than 90% of Surface Size total amount, but native starch class Surface Size film-forming properties is poor, the gelatinization flowability is not satisfactory, the variable muddy gel that forms during cooling, this has limited the application of native starch class Surface Size.Since during acid papermaking is converted in a large number/alkaline paper-making, during the synthetic surface sizing agent can overcome or remedy/some shortcoming of alkaline paper-making,, applying glue reverse slow as slaking, frictional coefficient are lower etc., and can conveniently change paper surface properties economically, but production high added value paper kind, thereby obtain more and more widely application.Aqueous polyurethane (WPU) is the class in the synthetic surface sizing agent, it with water as dispersion medium, it is good to have film forming properties, the cohesive strength height, characteristics such as wear-resisting, cold-resistant, pliable and tough, and nonpoisonous and tasteless, meet the environmental regulation requirement of increasingly stringent, in plastics, coating, building, weaving etc. are multi-field, be widely used, in paper industry, also become the research focus gradually.
Have on the cation aqueous polyurethane polymer molecular chain-NH-COO-base and cation group, it has some unique character, can directly combine with the negative charge of fiber after the positive charge applying glue of cation type polyurethane, form glued membrane and reach sizing efficiency preferably at fiber surface.Companies such as Germany BK, Bayer, BASF have released one after another based on cationic aqueous polyurethane product, and at present, cationic waterborne polyurethane surface sizing agent has become a research focus in the papermaking chemical product.But its resistance to elevated temperatures is not good, poor water resistance.
For addressing this problem, the Liu Jianping of domestic Shaanxi Tech Univ, Yang Xiaomin are in " development of cation polyurethane sizing agent and application experiment " literary composition, with tolylene diisocyanate (TDI), glyceryl monostearate is a raw material, with the N methyldiethanol amine is chainextender, with acetone is solvent, reacts to obtain aqueous polyurethane emulsion in 6.5 hours.The influence to dairy industry stability of raw material NCO/OH value, temperature of reaction and time, chainextender consumption, solvent load has been discussed, and emulsion has been carried out structural characterization with TEM and FT-IR.The synthesis condition that has drawn urethane the best is: the NCO/OH value is at 1.05~1.15; The chainextender consumption accounts for 12.5%~15% of total amount; Total reaction time is 6.5 hours.What TEM and FT-IR microcosmic showed that it synthesizes is a kind of with amino PAUR emulsion.The preparation of this method be internal sizing agent, raw materials used more expensive, cost is higher, and internal sizing agent to use more now be cheap colophony type sizing agent, so its application is restricted.
Liu Jianfu, Xie Yiming is in " colophony type urethane synthetic sizing agent and the application in papermaking " literary composition, react 2.5 hours synthesis of polyurethane performed polymers with tolylene diisocyanate (TDI) and esterified rosin down at 70~80 ℃, utilize the methyldiethanolamine chain extension, (APAM) makes end-capping reagent with sodium bisulfite, and final emulsion obtains cation colophony type polyurethane emulsion.This kind sizing agent is applied to plasm-glue-blending, has studied the chainextender consumption, pH value and APAM consumption are to the influence of urethane sizability.Experiment shows, under the neutral and alkali condition, when the sizing agent consumption is 2%, the APAM consumption is 0.02% o'clock, and the degree of sizing of paper can reach 25s, and paper is had tangible enhancement.But this method is made end-blocking with S-WAT, the difficult control of reaction, and sizing efficiency is difficult to reach the requirement of the paper product that degree of sizing is had relatively high expectations.
Chinese patent CN 101440152A has reported a kind of preparation method of cation aqueous polyurethane emulsion and the application on top sizing thereof.This method is reacted 0.5~2 hour synthetic performed polymer by tolylene diisocyanate (TDI), the pure and mild polyoxyethylene glycol of polyester binary down at 45-55 ℃, 60~70 ℃ with 1,4-chain expansion of succinic acid 2-3 hour, with in the Glacial acetic acid and salify, under high-speed stirring, add emulsifying water, make cation aqueous polyurethane emulsion.Use but the emulsion that this preparation method makes needs with Tai-Ace S 150 or poly-aluminium is collaborative, do not meet the trend of paper industry plasm-glue-blending neutral and alkaliization, and degree of sizing is difficult to satisfy the requirement of cultural paper, still have with a certain distance from practical application.
Chinese patent CN 101654893A has reported the preparation method of a kind of cation polyurethane/positively charged ion styrene-acrylic composite emulsion Surface Size.This method is by isophorone diisocyanate, 1,4-butyleneglycol, polyoxyethylene react 1.5~3 hours synthetic performed polymers down at 60~65 ℃, under agitation drip the butanone solution of positively charged ion chainextender, dropwising the back reacted 3~4 hours down at 60~65 ℃, with in the neutralizing agent and salify, under high-speed stirring, add emulsifying water, make the cation polyurethane emulsion.The aqueous solution of drip styrene, acrylate, cationic monomer, acrylamide and water-soluble azo class initiator in the cation polyurethane emulsion reacted 2~4 hours again, promptly made cation polyurethane/positively charged ion phenylpropyl alcohol and met emulsion surface sizing agent.This method technology is complicated, and generated time is longer, and cation polyurethane/positively charged ion styrene-acrylic composite emulsion shelf-stable performance is not good, and the emulsion smell is bigger.
