Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a paper-like polyester fiber printing sheet. More particularly, the present invention relates to a paper-like polyester fiber printing sheet useful for commercial sheets, for example, labels and bar code sheets for commercial goods to be printed by a non-impact printer of an electrostatic recording machine, thermosensitive transcriber or ink-jetting or electrophotographic copying machine, for industrial sheets which are employed in industrial factories and may be brought into contact with water, oil or other liquids, and for other commercial sheets, for example, tickets and cards which are used in the open air, for example, for golf and skiing and are sometimes in contact with water or other liquids.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication Nos. 57-11209, 61-201099 and 61-282500 disclose paper-like synthetic fiber sheets comprising polyester staple fibers having a flat cross-sectional profile.
  • the labels or bar code sheets are produced-by coating a conventional paper-like synthetic fiber sheet with a coating resin solution or emulsion by using a coating machine, a portion of the coating resin solution or emulsion permeates through the sheet from one side to the other side of the sheet.
  • the permeated portion of the coating resin solution or emulsion stains a peripheral surface of a guide roll of the coating machine and thus causes an uneven coating.
  • a continuous coating operation over a long period of time becomes difficult or impossible and the resultant coated products exhibit an uneven and degraded quality.
  • the undesirable permeation of the coating resin solution or emulsion can be prevented by increasing the thickness or weight per unit area of the sheets.
  • the thicker or weight-increased sheets exhibit an undesirably increased stiffness and resilience.
  • the nonwoven fiber sheet When the nonwoven fiber sheet is pressed by means of a calender to decrease the bulk density of the sheet, the undesirable permeation of the coating resin solution or emulsion can be decreased.
  • the pressed sheet exhibits a disadvantage such that the coating resin solution or emulsion cannot penetrate into the sheet, and therefore flows on the surface of the sheet. This phenomenon is found especially on a synthetic hydrophobic fiber sheet, for example, polyester fiber sheet, but not on natural pulp paper sheets, rayon sheets, polyamide fiber sheets and polyvinyl alcohol fiber sheets.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a paper-like polyester fiber printing sheet which is free from an undesirable permeation of coating resin solution or emulsion and from staining with printing ink or carbon toner.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a paper-like polyester fiber printing sheet suitable for a high speed printing operation.
  • the paper-like polyester fiber printing sheet of the present invention which comprises 25% to 100% by weight of at least one type of principal polyester staple fiber selected from the group consisting of fine polyester fibers having a round cross-sectional profile with an average diameter of 1 to 20 ⁇ m, and flat polyester staple fibers having a flat cross-sectional profile with an average minor axis length of 1 to 20 ⁇ m, and 0 to 75% by weight of additional polyester staple fibers, and which has a weight of 25 to 80 g/m 2 and a bulk density of 0.40 to 0.70 g/cm 3 .
  • principal polyester staple fiber selected from the group consisting of fine polyester fibers having a round cross-sectional profile with an average diameter of 1 to 20 ⁇ m, and flat polyester staple fibers having a flat cross-sectional profile with an average minor axis length of 1 to 20 ⁇ m, and 0 to 75% by weight of additional polyester staple fibers, and which has a weight of 25 to 80 g/m 2 and a bulk density of 0.40 to 0.70 g/
  • the paper-like polyester fiber sheet of the present invention is suitable for printing and comprises 25% to 100% by weight of at least one type of principal polyester staple fiber selected from fine polyester staple fibers having a round cross-sectional profile with an average diameter of 1 to 20 pm, and flat polyester staple fibers having a flat cross-sectional profile with an average minor axis length of 1 to 20 ⁇ m, and 0 to 75% by weight of additional regular polyester staple fibers.
  • the resultant sheet When the fine polyester staple fibers are used as the principal fibers, if the average cross-sectional diameter is more than 20 ⁇ m, the resultant sheet will have a decreased fiber density, and thus a low bulk density of less than 0.4 g/cm3, and therefore, will exhibit an undesirable permeation of a coating resin solution or emulsion and/or a printing ink.
  • the production of the fine polyester staple fibers having an average cross-sectional diameter of less than 1 ⁇ m is difficult and costly, and therefore, is not industrially advantageous.
  • the fine polyester staple fibers usable for the present invention preferably have a denier of from 0.01 to 2.0 and a length of 1.0 to 30.0 mm. If the fine fibers have a length of less than 1.0 mm, a sheet may have an unsatisfactory mechanical strength. Also, if the length of the fine fibers is more than 30.0 mm, it becomes difficult to produce a paper-like sheet having a uniform quality by means of a wet nonwoven fabric-forming method, because the long staple fibers cannot be evenly dispersed in water.
  • the flat polyester staple fibers have a flat cross-sectional profile having an average minor axis length of 1 to'20 ⁇ m.
  • the resultant paper-like sheet undesirably allows a coating resin solution or emulsion and printing ink to easily permeate through the sheet. Also, if the average minor axis length is more than 20 ⁇ m the resultant sheet exhibits a film-like appearance and a high stiffness.
  • the flat polyester staple fibers usable for the present invention preferably have a degree of flatness (D 2/ D 1 ), i.e., a ratio of a length of minor axis (D 2 ) to a length of major axis (D 1 ) of the flat cross-sectional profile of the fibers, of from 1/2 to 1/10.
  • the length of the minor axis (D 2 ) is equal to a diameter of an inscribed circle of the flat cross-sectional profile.
  • the length of the major axis (D 1 ) is equal to a diameter of a circumcircle of the flat cross-sectional profile.
  • the degree of flatness is more than 1/2, it may be difficult to provide a paper-like sheet having a satisfactory resistance to the permeation of the coating resin and printing ink. Also, a degree of flatness of less than 1/10 may result in the formation of paper-like sheet having a film-like appearance and a high stiffness.
  • the additional polyester staple fibers to be blended with the fine polyester fibers and/or the flat polyester fibers preferably have an average denier of 0.1 to 20 and a length of 1 to 30mm.
  • the principal polyester staple fibers are in a content of 25% to 100% by weight. If the content of the principal polyester staple fibers is less than 25% by weight, the resultant sheet will exhibit an undesirably high permeability of the coating resin and the printing ink.
  • the paper-like sheet of the present invention must have a weight of 25 to 80 g/m 2 , preferably, 30 to 60 g/m 2 and a bulk density of 0.40 to 0.70 g/cm 3 r preferably, 0.45 to 0.65 g/cm .
  • a weight of less than 25 g/cm 2 will result in an undesirably increased permeability of the coating resin and printing ink through the resultant sheet. This increased permeability will cause the rollers in the coating machine to be stained with the permeated coating resin and the resultant sheet will have a decreased coating evenness. Therefore, it becomes difficult or impossible to continuously carry out the coating operation over a long period of time.
  • a weight of more than 80 g/m 2 will cause the resultant sheet to exhibit an unsatisfactory softness and touch.
  • a bulk density of less than 0.40 g/cm 3 causes the resultant sheet to exhibit an undesirably increased permeability of the coating resin therethrough. Also, a bulk density of more than 0.70 g/cm 3 causes the resultant sheet to exhibit a poor penetration of a coating resin thereinto and, therefore, the coating resin applied to the sheet surface tends to flow on the surface. Due to the above-mentioned phenomenon, it is difficult to evenly coat-the resultant sheet with the coating resin.
  • the flat polyester staple fibers and the additional regular polyester staple fibers are used together, it is preferable to blend 45% to 70% by weight of the flat fibers with 30% to 55% by weight of the weight of the additional staple fibers.
  • the additional fibers preferably have a birefringence of from 0.005 to 0.05.
  • the principal and additional polyester staple fibers respectively comprise, independently from each other, polyethylene terephthalate homopolymers and copolymers.
  • the copolymer may contain 5-sodium sulfoisophthalate as a copolymerization component.
  • the paper-like sheet of the present invention can be produced from an aqueous dispersion of the principal polyester staple fibers or a blend of the principal polyester staple fibers with the additional polyester staple fibers by means of a wet paper-forming machine, for example, a cylinder, short net or wire paper-forming machine.
  • a wet paper-forming machine for example, a cylinder, short net or wire paper-forming machine.
  • a paper-like sheet may be formed from a single layer of the staple fibers or two or more layers of the staple fibers may be laminated together.
  • the resultant sheet is pressed or calendered by means of a pair of calendering metal rolls or a combination of a calendering metal roll with a cotton roll.
  • the calendering metal rolls preferably have a temperature of 160°C to 235°C, more preferably, 200 to 230°C.
  • the calendering process is preferably carried out under a linear pressure of 5 to 100 kg/cm.
  • the weight of the sheet per unit can be adjusted to a desired level of between 25 and 80 g/m 2 by controlling the amount of fibers to be supplied from a head box to a paper-forming net of the paper-forming machine, and by regulating the speed of the paper-forming net.
  • the bulk density of the paper-like sheet can be adjusted to a desired level of between 0.40 and 0.70 g/cm by controlling the calendering temperature, pressure, and speed.
  • the paper-like sheet of the present invention is advantageous in the following features.
  • the evenness of the coating resin layer formed on a surface of the sheet was evaluated in such a manner that a surface of a paper-like sheet specimen in A4 size was coated with an aqueous emulsion of a polyacrylic ester copolymer resin containing a white pigment (which resin was available under a trademark of BONLONS-480 and was made by Mitsui Toatsu Kagaku Co.) by using a knife coater, with which an excess amount of the coated resin was lightly removed.
  • the amount of the coated resin emulsion was 80 g/m 2 .
  • the coated sheet was vertically hung and dried with hot air at a temperature of 120°C for 2 minutes.
  • the evenness in distribution of the white pigment in the resultant coating layer was evaluated by the naked eye.
  • the resistance of the specimen to permeation of the white pigment-containing coating resin from one surface to the opposite surface through the specimen was evaluated by observing the opposite surface of the specimen by the naked eye.
  • Flat polyethylene terephthalate staple fibers (A) provided with a flat cross-sectional profile with a minor axis length of 2.5um and a degree of flatness of 1/4 and having a denier of 2.5, a length of 5.0 mm, and a birefringence of 0.130, in an amount of 60 parts by weight and other flat polyethylene terephthalate staple fibers (B) provided with a minor axis length of 3.1pm and a degree of flatness of 1/4, and having a denier of 6.0, a length of 5.0 mm, and a birefringence of 0.008, in an amount of 40 parts by weight, were dispersed in water.
  • the resultant aqueous fiber slurry was subjected to a wet paper-forming procedure by means of a cylinder paper-forming machine.
  • a web having a dry weight of 60 g/m 2 was obtained.
  • the web was calendered at a temperature of 225°C under a linear pressure of between 5 to 50 kg/cm by using a metal roll / cotton roll type calender to provide a sheet having the weight, thickness, and bulk density as shown in Table 1.
  • the resultant sheet was subjected to the coating resin-permeating test and coating resin evenness test. The results are shown in Table 1.
  • Example 2 The same procedures as those described in Example 1 were carried out except that the sheet was made of 60 parts by weight of regular polyethylene terephthalate staple fibers (C) having a round regular cross-sectional profile, a diameter of 15.8 ⁇ m (a denier of 2.5), a length of 5.0 mm, and a birefringence of 0.134 and 40 parts by weight of regular polyethylene terephthalate staple fibers (D) having around regular cross-sectional profile, a diameter of 24.5 (a denier of 6.0), a length of 5.0 mm, and a birefringence of 0.010, and the resultant sheet had a weight of 62 g/m 2 .
