Definitions

  • This invention relates to paper sizing compositions and more particularly to aqueous compositions containing hydrophobic cellulose-reactive sizes and fortified rosin.
  • Aqueous dispersions containing finely divided particles of fortified rosin, a water-soluble cationic resin dispersing agent and water are described by Aldrich in USP 3,966,654.
  • the aqueous fortified rosin dispersions are useful as internal or surface sizing agents for paper. Sizing performance, however, is dependent on both pH and concentration and it is necessary to use greater than about 0.1 % fortified rosin based on the dry weight of the pulp (the critical level) and to carry out sizing in acidic systems to achieve good sizing efficiency.
  • Sizing compositions which are aqueous emulsions or dispersions of a hydrophobic cellulose-reactive sizing agent such as a ketene dimer and a nonionic, anionic or cationic dispersion agent are also known.
  • a hydrophobic cellulose-reactive sizing agent such as a ketene dimer and a nonionic, anionic or cationic dispersion agent.
  • the cellulose-reactive sizing agents and particularly the ketene dimer sizing agents have been commercially important since sizing can be effected under alkaline conditions which do not adversely effect the paper strength and higher sizing can be achieved at a lower critical level than is realizable with rosin sizes. They suffer one serious drawback, however, in that drying is required for initial sizing to develop and the ultimate sizing which can be expected does not develop for a significant period of time depending upon the conditions of use.
  • compositions of this type are described, for example, in British patent 1,533,434 and USP 4,240,935. Although these compositions provide substantial improvement in the rate of size development, complete drying is required to achieve ultimate sizing. With ground wood pulp and other difficult-to size pulp, however, aging is required to achieve ultimate sizing.
  • aqueous dispersions which contain both fortified rosin and cellulose-reactive sizes and which, surprisingly, overcome the disadvantages inherent to the use of either of the components individually.
  • the dispersions of this invention also provide the advantages of the individual components and additionally provide higher and more rapid sizing than would be expected from either component alone.
  • the aqueous dispersions of this invention have as the continuous phase an aqueous solution containing at least one of any of the known water-soluble nitrogen-containing cationic dispersing agents for rosin size and as the dispersed phase (a) finely divided particles of a hydrophobic cellulose-reactive sizing agent selected from the group consisting of ketene dimers, organic acid anhydrides, organic isocyanates and mixtures thereof, characterized in that it also contains (b) finely divided particles of fortified rosin the weight ratio of (b):(a) in the dispersed phase being within the range of 0.1: to 10:1 and the amount of dispersing agent being within the range of about 5 to about 140% based on the weight of the dispersed phase.
  • a hydrophobic cellulose-reactive sizing agent selected from the group consisting of ketene dimers, organic acid anhydrides, organic isocyanates and mixtures thereof, characterized in that it also contains (b) finely divided particles of fortified
  • the fortified rosin component of the dispersed phase is the adduct reaction product of rosin and an acidic compound containing the group and is derived by reacting rosin and the acidic compound at elevated temperatures of from about 150°C to about 210°C.
  • the amount of acidic compound employed will be that amount which will provide fortified rosin containing from about 1 % to about 12 % by weight of adducted acidic compound based on the weight of the fortified rosin.
  • Methods of preparing fortified rosin are disclosed and described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,628,918 and 2,684,300, reference to which is hereby made.
  • Examples of acidic compounds containing the group that can be used to prepare the fortified rosin include the alpha-beta-unsaturated organic acids and their available anhydrides, specific examples of which include fumaric acid, maleic acid, acrylic acid, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid, itaconic anhydride, citraconic acid, and citraconic anhydride. Mixtures of acids can be used to prepare the fortified rosin if desired. Also mixtures of different fortified rosins can be used if desired. Thus, for example, a mixture of the acrylic acid adduct of rosin and the fumaric acid adduct can be used to prepare the novel dispersions of this invention. Also fortified rosin that has been substantially completely hydrogenated after adduct formation can be used.
  • the fortified rosin can be extended if desired by known extenders therefor such as waxes (particularly paraffin wax and microcrystalline was); hydrocarbon resins including those derived from petroleum hydrocarbons and terpenes; and the like. This is accomplished by blending with the fortified rosin from about 10% to about 100% by weight based on the weight of fortified rosin of the fortified rosin extender.
  • blends of fortified rosin and rosin, and blends of fortified rosin, rosin and rosin extender can be used.
  • Fortified rosin-rosin blends will comprise about 25% to 95%, fortified rosin and about 75% to 5% rosin.
  • Blends of fortified rosin, rosin, and rosin extender will comprise about 25% to 45% fortified rosin, about 5% to 50% rosin, and about 5% to 50% rosin extender.
  • rosin that is, unfortified rosin
  • fortified rosin it can be any of the commercially available types of rosin, such as wood rosin, gum rosin, tall oil rosin, and mixtures of any two or more, in their crude or refined state.
  • Partially orsubstantially completely hydrogenated rosins and polymerized rosins, as well as rosins that have been treated to inhibit crystallization such as by heat treatment or reaction with formaldehyde, can be employed.
  • Aqueous dispersions containing finely divided particles of fortified rosin are commercially available.
  • One method of preparing such dispersions is described by Aldrich in U.S. Patent 3,966,654 and involves first dissolving the fortified rosin in a water-immiscible organic solvent therefor such as, for example, benzene, xylene, chloroform, methylene chloride and 1,2-dichloropropane. Mixtures of two or more solvents can be used if desired.
  • the selected solvent will also be nonreactive to the components of the aqueous dispersion to be subsequently prepared.
  • the organic solvent-fortified rosin solution is then mixed with an aqueous solution of a cationic dispersing agent to provide an emulsion which is essentially unstable and in which the organic solvent-fortified rosin solution forms the dispersed phase.
  • the essentially unstable aqueous emulsion is then subjected to extreme shear to provide an essentially stable aqueous emulsion. Extreme shear is conveniently accomplished by means of an homogenizer.
  • an homogenizer thus passing, at least once, the unstable aqueous emulsion through an homogenizer under a pressure of the order of from about 7000 kPa to about 55260 kPa, will provide an essentially stable emulsion.
  • the organic solvent component of the emulsion is removed from the emulsion and there is provided an essentially stable aqueous dispersion of fortified rosin particles.
  • the organic solvent-fortified rosin solution can be mixed with an aqueous solution of a cationic dispersing agent in an amount to provide a stable water-in-oil emulsion which is subsequently inverted to a stable oil-in-water emulsion by the rapid addition of water vigorous stirring.
  • the organic solvent is subsequently removed, as by distillation under reduced pressure.
  • the dispersing agent can be any of the known dispersing agents for rosin size and is cationic in nature. Particularly preferred are the cationic thermosetting water-soluble polyaminopolyamide-epichlorohydrin resins, alkylenepolyamine-epichlorohydrin resins and the poly(diallylamine)-epichlorohydrins resins. These resins are described in U.S. Patents 2,926,116, 2,926,154 and 3,700,623 as well as 3,966,654.
  • hydrophobic cellulose-reactive sizing agents which have been found to be particularly useful as the second component of the dispersed phase are ketene dimers, acid anhydrides and organic isocyanates.
  • Examples of ketene dimers include octyl, decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, octadecyl, eicosyl, docosyl, tetracosyl, phenyl, benzyl, beta-napthyl and cyclohexyl ketene dimers, as well as the ketene dimers prepared by known methods from montanic acid, naphthenic acid, ⁇ 9 .
  • 10- decylenic acid A 9,10- dodecylenic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, ricinoleic acid, linoleic acid, and eleostearic acid, as well as ketene dimers prepared from naturally occurring mixtures of fatty acids, such as those mixtures found in coconut oil, babassu oil, palm kernel oil, palm oil, olive oil, peanut oil, rape oil, beef tallow, lard (leaf) and whale blubber. Mixtures of any of the above-named fatty acids with each other may also be used.
  • Acid anhydrides useful as cellulose-reactive sizing agents for paper are well-known in the art and include (A) rosin anhydride, see United States Patent 3,582,464; (B) anhydrides having the structure where R 1 is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radical, the hydrocarbon radical being a straight or branched chain alkyl radical, an aromatic substituted alkyl radical, or an alkyl substituted aromatic radical so long as the hydrocarbon radical contains a total from about 14 to 36 carbon atoms; and (C) cyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydrides having the structure: where R' represents a dimethylene or trimethylene radical and where R" is a hydrocarbon radical containing more than 7 carbon atoms and is preferably alkyl, alkenyl, aralkyl or aralkenyl.
  • Substituted cyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydrides falling within the above formula (II) are substituted succinic and glutaric anhydrides.
  • each R 1 can be the same hydrocarbon radical or each R 1 can be a different hydrocarbon radical.
  • anhydrides of formula (I) are myristoyl anhydride; palmitoyl anhydride; oleoyl anhydride; and stearoyl anhydride.
  • anhydrides of formula (II) are isooctadecenyl succinic acid anhydride; n-hexadecenyl succinic acid anhydride; dodecyl succinic acid anhydride; decenyl succinic acid anhydride; octenyl succinic acid anhydride; and heptyl glutaric acid anhydride.
  • Hydrophobic organic isocyanates used as sizing agents for paper are well-known in the art. Best results are obtained when the hydrocarbon chain of the isocyanates contain at least 12 carbon atoms, preferably from 14 to 36 carbon atoms.
  • Such isocyanates include rosin isocyanate; dodecyl isocyanate; octadecyl isocyanate; tetradecyl isocyanate; hexadecyl isocyanate; eicosyl isocyanate; docosyl isocyanate; 6-ethyldecyl isocyanate; 6-phenyldecyl isocyanate; and polyisocyanates such as 1,18-octadecyl diisocyanate and 1,12-dodecyl diisocyanate, wherein one long chain alkyl group serves two isocyanate radicals and imparts hydrophobic properties to the molecule as a whole.
  • Aqueous dispersions or emulsions containing finely divided particles of hydrophobic cellulose-reactive sizing agents are known commercially. Such dispersions are conventionally prepared by stirring the cellulose-reactive sizing agent into an aqueous solution of an emulsifier and passing the premix through a homogenizer. Emulsifiers conventionally employed in the production of emulsions of cellulose-reactive sizing agents are suitable. Such emulsifiers include cationic starches that are water-soluble starches containing sufficient amino groups, quaternary ammonium or other cationic groups to render the starch, as a whole, cellulose substantive. Examples of such cationic starches are the cationic amine-modified starches described in U.S.

  • the dispersed phase of the cationic aqueous dispersions of this invention contains both finely divided particles of a hydrophobic cellulose-reactive size and finely divided particles of fortified rosin and it has been found that the dispersed phase should comprise at least 10 weight % of each if the advantages of this invention are to be realized.
  • the weight ratio of the fortified rosin size to the cellulose-reactive size will range from 0.1:1 to 10:1. The most practical range, however, is from 0.2:1 to 5:1 and this is the preferred range.
  • the aqueous dispersions of this invention also contain, as stated, a water-soluble nitrogen-containing cationic dispersing agent.
  • a water-soluble nitrogen-containing cationic dispersing agent Any cationic nitrogen-containing dispersing agent which is water-soluble and confers a positive surface charge to the particles of the disperse phase of the dispersion is suitable.

  • the minimum amount of cationic dispersing agent used must, of course, be sufficient to render the dispersion cationic.
  • the amount used will vary, of course, depending upon the water solubility, the initial anionic or cationic strength of the dispersions used, and the cationic strength of the particular agent employed. Usually, the amount will range from about 5 to about 140, preferably 20 to 120 and more preferably from 40 to 100 weight % based on the dispersed phase. Amounts less than about 5% generally are not sufficient to render the dispersion cationic and amounts greater than about 140% have not been found to provide additional advantages and hence are not necessary.
  • the cationic dispersions of this invention can be prepared at any convenient concentration. Particularly useful are dispersions in which the dispersed phase is about 5 to 70%, preferably 10 to 55%, the dispersing agent is 1 to 15%, preferably 2 to 10% and the balance is water to 100%.
  • the dispersions of this invention can also contain other sizing or non-sizing ingredients provided their presence does not destroy the advantages of the invention. Particularly useful in this respect is alum which is conventionally used to set rosin size.

  • the amount will range from about 25 to about 200% based on the weight of fortified rosin particles. The most practical range, however, is 75 to 150% and this is the preferred range.
  • Other additives such as preservatives can also be present in small amounts.
  • novel dispersions of this invention can be prepared by blending a preformed dispersion of the fortified rosin particles with a preformed cationic dispersion of the hydrobic cellulose-reactive sizing agent. They can also be prepared by mixing a melt or organic solution of fortified rosin and the cellulose-reactive size in aqueous medium containing the cationic dispersing agent and subjecting the mixture to conditions of extreme shear, as set forth above. Modifications of the above procedures are also suitable and are within the skill of the art to which the invention pertains.
