Definitions

  • This invention relates to paper having improved dimensional stability and to a process for the manufacture thereof.
  • Paper is conventionally made from cellulosic papermaking fibres by a progressive removal of water from an aqueous dispersion of the fibres until it develops its full strength as a finished paper when the moisture content is between about 4% and 8%.
  • the final moisture content depends upon the kind of paper being manufactured and the operating conditions of the papermaking machine.
  • the extent to which hydrogen bonding occurs is related to the physical characteristics of the cellulosic fibres used.
  • wet or highly beaten fibres have their surface areas and suppleness increased as compared with less beaten fibres. This results in an increase in the degree of interfibre contact and thus also in the level of hydrogen bonding, with consequentially greater shrinkage of the web.
  • natural tracing paper is to be taken as referring to tracing paper in which transparency is conferred primarily by the pretreatment of the paper making fibres, and to distinguish from “prepared tracing paper” in which transparency is derived essentially from impregnants applied after the paper has been manufactured.
  • the invention has particular advantages for use with natural tracing paper but can be used effectively for the production of other papers in which improved dimensional stability is required.
  • a method of improving the dimensional stability of a paper comprised at least in part of cellulosic fibres which includes covering both sides of the paper with a polymeric material and then polymerizing the polymeric material by ionizing radiation or ultra violet light to form a hydrophobic coating.
  • the invention also includes a paper formed at least in part from cellulose fibres, each side of the paper having a covering of a polymeric material which has been polymerized by ionizing radiation or ultra violet light to form a hydrophobic coating, and a paper made according to the method set forth.
  • the hydrophobic material may be a resin and may contain
  • Treatment of the paper surface by corona discharge prior to coating with resin also serves both to facilitate resin flow and resin adhesion.
  • pre-coats of polymers or copolymers, optionally containing filler materials such as clays or pigments, may be applied prior to application of the radiation curable material.
  • Such precoats can be applied in either water or solvent media or as polymerizable resin.
  • the ionizing radiation used to cure the resin is preferably electron beam radiation which has the pe ne - trative capability necessary to polymerise coatings on both sides of the paper sheet simultaneously.
  • ultra-violet radiation may also be used provided that a suitable photo-initiator is added to the resin coated onto the paper.
  • ultra-violet radiation can only be used for curing coatings on both sides simultaneously in the case of tracing paper or other papers which are transparent to such radiation.
  • the invention also extends to the use of other forms of radiation such as gamma radiation, or radiation from Cobalt 60 or Caesium 137 sources, which can also provide the necessary energy to cure the resins.
  • the invention has been found to have particular advantages for use in the manufacture of a dimensionally stable tracing paper since it also enhances the paper transparency.
  • this shows a sheet of natural tracing paper 1 having coatings 2 and 3 on each side thereof each consisting of a film of hydrophobic polymer which has been polymerized from a previously applied coating by ionizing or ultra-violet radiation.
  • a matting agent preferably having substantially the same refractive index as the polymeric film.
  • One suitable matting agent is that sold under the trade name GASIL E.B.N. and manufactured by Crosfields, and is preferably present in the coatings at a concentration of between 10% and 15% of the coating by weight.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-section through another paper having good holdout and also carrying hydrophobic coatings cured by ionizing or ultra-violet radiation.
  • the coatings 5 and 5 contain an opacifying pigment, for example titanium dioxide, to enhance the surface appearance of the paper.
  • a paper 7 having a poor holdout carries pre-coats 8 and 9 of polyvinyl alcohol over which hydrophobic coatings 10 and 11 cured by ionizing or ultra-violet radiation are provided.
  • the coatings, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10 and 11 may be of various compositions suitable for cure by appropriate forms of ionizing or ultra-violet radiation.
  • Table I sets out twenty-six resin coating formulations, including diluents and matting agent, which perform satisfactorily in an electron-beam curing process, to provide an improved natural tracing paper of the kind described above with reference to Figure 1.
  • Table 2 sets out the results from using various coatweights of the formulations of Table I in coating 70 grams per square metre natural tracing paper. Curing was carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere (less than 500 parts per million Oxygen) using an Otto Durr laboratory electron beam generating unit operating at 150 KeV (Kilo electron Volts). Wet expansion tests were carried out according to I.S.O. 5635/1978, a mean of three tests being taken for each example.
  • the light transmission desnity values for the coated paper listed in the last column of Table 2 were derived in tests using a Baldwin Mk.5 Photometer. The results are taken from the scale readings on this instrument, the scale being zero to 2, zero representing a completely clear film and 2 a totally opaque substrate.
  • coatings confer an increase in light transmission (and therefore transparency) on natural tracing paper.
  • the invention was also carried out using ultra-violet curable material.
  • a formulation was prepared comprising 50% urethane acrylate, 33% Hexane Diol Diacraylate, 12% of a silica matting agent comprising GASIL E.B.N. (manufactured by Joseph Crosfield and Sons Ltd.) and 5% of a photo initiator 2-hydroxy-2 methyl-1 phenyl propan-1-one (DAROCUR 1173 manufactured by Merck.
  • Coating onto 70 gram per sq. metre natural tracing paper was undertaken using a screen printing squeegee in the laboratorey, variations in coatweight being achieved by varying the squeegee pressure.
  • the coating was cured in the laboratory under a 200 watt per inch medium pressure mercury vapour lampa and a wet expansion test subsequently carried out using the I.S.O. 5635/1978 test.
