Softening agent special for softening and mildew prevention of paper and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of softening agents, in particular to a softening agent special for softening and mildew prevention of paper and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Softening agents are compounds whose molecular structure contains a long-chain hydrocarbon group at one end and a polar or reactive group at the other end that can be bonded to the fiber. Molecules of the softening agent can form outward adsorption of hydrophobic groups on the surface of the fiber, so that the dynamic and static friction factors of the fiber substance are reduced, and smooth and soft hand feeling is obtained. The paper with higher requirement on softness is toilet paper, crepe paper, handkerchief paper, napkin paper and the like, and other paper types such as processed paper have higher requirement on softness, so the application of the softener in papermaking is more and more important.
The action of softeners can be roughly divided into two aspects: firstly, the slippage and the smoothness among the fibers are improved, and the smooth, moist and greasy handfeel is increased. The second is plasticity as plasticizer, namely, plasticity for fixing paper tissue, improving strength and coating adhesive, filling agent and resin. The former is mainly used as a softener in the textile industry, and various softeners can be used according to the type of fibers, the specification of yarns, the knitting method, the use, the fashion style and the like. The paper industry is also widely using softeners because of the current development of paper processing methods that facilitate the use of softeners for treating paper. The latter is a softener selected mainly based on the processing resin, which not only softens the hand of the paper, but also tends to make the fibers easy to slip, soft and elastic, and to enhance the tear strength.
Most of the softening agents are long-chain alkyl organic compounds with l 2-18 (generally l 6-18) carbon atoms, wherein the surfactant accounts for a large proportion. The softening agent molecules can generate softness mainly from long-chain alkyl groups, and the main function of the soluble groups is to enable the soluble groups to dissolve in an aqueous medium and generate a bonding effect with fibers, so that the alkyl groups can generate an orientation effect on the surfaces of the fibers or the periphery of the fibers.
The consumption of disposable household paper such as paper handkerchiefs, toilet paper, napkins and diapers is increasing, the demand for paper quality is also increasing, especially the higher demand for paper softness is provided, so the paper softener is more and more emphasized, the purpose of using the paper softener is that ① reduces the binding force between fibers, reduces the rigidity of paper, reduces the friction force of paper to skin, ② has the function of wetting fiber, improves the smoothness of fiber, increases the smooth and fine feeling of paper, ③ makes paper have plasticity, in a word, the softener can form reverse adsorption of hydrophobic group outward on the surface of fiber, reduces the dynamic and static friction factors of fiber material, and obtains smooth and soft hand feeling.
In daily life, softening agents are required to have not only softening properties but also properties such as mold resistance, water repellency, oil repellency, antistatic properties, and stain release properties.
Paper and various paper products become moldy and damp causing serious losses to individuals, businesses and countries. The mildew process of paper and its product is the irreversible damage of paper product caused by the decrease of mechanical and physical performance. The mold has an influence on the physical properties of the paper, such as folding endurance and tensile strength.
