Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new type of fibre product, such as paper, cardboard or the like, and a method of manufacturing such product based on a suspension of treated organic and inorganic fibres.
  • inorganic fibres as glass fibre, in paper manufacturing is also familiar to the art, either alone or in combination with fibres of cellulose or other organic substance.
  • One major objective of the invention is the manufacture of fibrous products having good wet strength and low porosity through the combination of water-glass - perhaps modified by the addition of some conventional binding-agent, organic or inorganic - inorganic fibres, such as fibres of mineral wool, and organic fibres, e.g. cellulose fibres.
  • organic and inorganic fibres with a binding-agent improves both web strength and porosity properties, which the use of cullulose fibres alone will not permit.
  • Fibre products made according to the method of the invention also display excellent water-repelling properties. If a high percentage of mineral wool is added, first- rate fire-retarding qualities are achieved along with excellent thermal stability.
  • Fibre products manufactured according to the method of the invention are produced from a suspension of treated cellulose fibres to which is added a binding-agent of water-glass. Finally, mineral wool fibres, also in the suspension phase, are added to the suspension of cellulose fibres whereupon the final suspension, or stock, after undergoing further treatment, e.g. the admixture of size, dyestuff, filler and thickener, is dired and pressed to obtain the final product. Glass fibres having a diameter of approx. 7 ,um - standard fibres as used for building insulation - may be used to advantage in the new method.
  • the water-glass binder may consist of compounds of silicic acid and sodium or potassium to which carbamide and/or propylene glycol have been added. Good results have been obtained by using e.g. sodium silicate where the mole proportion between sodium oxide and silicon dioxide is 1:3.4-4.1.
  • the water-glass binding agent may, furthermore, be modified by some conventional organic or inorganic binder.
  • the cellulose pulp which may be bleached or unbleached, used in the manufacture of the product is prepared in advance so as to increase the specific surface of the fibres and allow them to make good contact during the forming of the sheet. This is carried out by conventional means, by mechanical agitation, or “beating", in pulpers, jordan refiners or similar grinding machinery. During this process the cellulose fibres are made somewhat shorter and the fibre bundles are delaminated. Birch, pine or spruce, for example, may be used for the cellulose pulp. In the new method such pulp is suspended in a separate water chest, the mineral wool fibres, from e.g. sheets, slabs or flocs of mineral wool, being suspended in another.
  • rejects or waste materal may be used to advantage.
  • the water-glass binding-agent is then added to the chest containing the cellulose pulp, after which the contents of the two chest are mixed.
  • the mixture so obtained, the stock may then be treated by conventional means, by e.g. the admixture of size, dyestuff, filler and thickener, before continuing to the drying and pressing stages.
  • Glass fibres and water are mixed in a pulper for 5 minutes to obtain a suspension or slurry, the amount of glass fibre contained being ten percent by weight of the whole.
  • slurries of cellulose fibres usually contain approx. 3-3.5 percent cellulose by weight, thus entailing a fairly high water content when the product is removed to the wire for dewatering.
  • a pulp containing a certain amount of glass fibres dries out much faster in the paper machine than does a pure cellulose pulp, and this has economic advantages, for the manufacturing process can thereby be speeded up.
  • the glass fibre slurry is removed to a stock chest.
  • a three percent cellulose fibre slurry of bleached birch is prepared in another stock chest. To this is added 5% sodium silicate binder calculated on the total amount of glass fibre and cellulose slurry, having a ratio of 3.4 and containing carbamide and propylene glycol.
  • the purpose of this binding-agent of water. glass is, on the one hand, to reduce the wettability of the fibres, i.e. to make them more resistant to water, on the other to reduce their pore radius, that is to fill in the pores in the sheet, thereby reducing pore diameter and hindering the penetration of liquids.
  • the glass fibre slurry is then added and mixed with the slurry of cellulose fibres and water-glass, the amount of glass fibres contained in the whole being ten percent by weight.
  • This mixture of cellulose fibres, glass fibres and water-glass binder is alkaline, i.e. its pH value is between 9.0 and 9.5.
  • the pH value of cellulose fibres is usually 4.5 at this stage. No hydrophobic agent or alum is added to the slurry, nor is the temperature raised as in conventional manufacturing methods.
  • the slurry mixture so obtained is then passed through a conical refiner and out onto a wire via the head box of a paper machine as in conventional methods.
  • a fibre product manufactured by the method described above has several advantages, above all in that its tearing resistance and printability, for e.g. process printing, are excellent, a result of good dimensional stability between the fibres.
  • the quality of the product is also well-suited to packaging purposes since deformability is good.
  • the paper obtained displayed good dielectric qualities and good resistance to wear and to impact and tensile stresses. Shrinkage and contraction were insignificant.
  • the paper made by this method proved to have high resistance to combustion and burning, had high thermal stability and was, furthermore, resistant to mould.
  • the fourth test which was also carried out in the same way as the others, included 50% mineral wool fibres, 10% water-glass binder, 5% melamine resin and 35% cellulose fibres.
  • paper types rf differing properties may be obtained by varying the proportions of mineral wool fibres, cellulose fibres and water-glass binder.
  • mineral wool fibres in the mixture - tests were made with admixtures of up to 95% by weight - paper can be made having exceptionally fine fire-retarding properties.
  • the invention is not limited only to fibrous products in the form of relatively thin sheets such as cardboard or the like, but may well be applied to products in the form of felt having a thickness of several centimeters.
  • carbamide and propylene glycol were added with the binder, but these can naturally also be added to the suspension separately.
