Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft neue feste und flüssige Dispersionsaufheller-Präparate, deren Herstellung sowie deren Verwendung zum Aufhellen von Streichmassen z.B. für die Beschichtung von Papier, Karton, Holz, Folien, Textilstoffen, nichtgewebten Materialien und Baustoffen.The present invention relates to new solid and liquid dispersion brightener preparations, their preparation and their use for brightening coating slips, e.g. for the coating of paper, cardboard, wood, foils, textiles, non-woven materials and building materials.

Es ist bekannt, Streichmassen für die Beschichtung von glatten Oberflächen mittels anionischer Verbindungen aus der Reihe der Triazinylflavonsäure optisch aufzuhellen. Gute Weissgrade liefert diese Stoffklasse jedoch nur in Streichmassen, die natürliche Bindemittel, wie Casein, Stärke, Protein oder Gelatine, enthalten.It is known to optically lighten coating compositions for coating smooth surfaces by means of anionic compounds from the series of triazinylflavonic acid. However, this class of material only delivers good degrees of whiteness in coating slips that contain natural binders such as casein, starch, protein or gelatin.

Für die heute gebräuchlichen Streichmassen, die überwiegend synthetische Latex-Binder auf Basis von z.B. Copolymeren aus Styrol-Butadien-Acrylsäureestern oder Styrol-Butylacrylat enthalten, wurde daher vorgeschlagen, Dispersionsaufheller in Gegenwart von Dispergatoren und gegebenenfalls nichtionogenen Emulgatoren zu verwenden (GB-1294173, GB-1349934). Nachteil dieser Verfahren ist der geringe maximal erreichbare Weissgrad und die starke Abhängigkeit des Weissgrades von der Trocknungstemperatur.For the coating slips in use today, the predominantly synthetic latex binders based on e.g. Containing copolymers of styrene-butadiene-acrylic acid esters or styrene-butyl acrylate, it has therefore been proposed to use dispersion brighteners in the presence of dispersants and, if appropriate, nonionic emulsifiers (GB-1294173, GB-1349934). The disadvantage of these processes is the low maximum whiteness that can be achieved and the strong dependence of the whiteness on the drying temperature.

Andere Lösungsvorschläge bestanden darin, durch Einarbeitung organischer Lösungsmittel (DE-A-2242597) und zusätzlicher Lösungsvermittler (DE-A-2806195) die Aufhelleffekte zu verbessern. Diese Formulierungen sind jedoch in der Praxis nur bedingt einsetzbar, da bei der Verdampfung der Lösungsmittel explosionsgefährliche Luftgemische entstehen können und die Lösungsmitteldämpfe zu gesundheitlichen Gefährdungen im Betrieb und zu Umweltbelästigungen führen können.Other proposed solutions were to improve the whitening effects by incorporating organic solvents (DE-A-2242597) and additional solubilizers (DE-A-2806195). In practice, however, these formulations can only be used to a limited extent, since explosive air mixtures can form during the evaporation of the solvents and the solvent vapors can lead to health hazards in operation and to environmental pollution.

Es wurde nun gefunden, dass Präparate, die neben mindestens einem Dispersionsaufheller und mindestens einem Dispergator und/oder Emulgator, gegebenenfalls weitern Zusätzen und Wasser noch mindestens ein spezifisches über 40°C bis 200°C, vorzugsweise bis 120°C schmelzendes, wasserunlösliches aromatisches oder C₁₄-C₁₈ fettalkoholisches Hilfsmittel oder Hilfsmittelgemisch enthalten überraschenderweise diese Nachteile nicht zeigen.It has now been found that preparations which, in addition to at least one dispersion brightener and at least one dispersant and / or emulsifier, optionally further additives and water, also have at least one specific one Surprisingly, above 40 ° C to 200 ° C, preferably up to 120 ° C, water-insoluble aromatic or C₁₄-C₁ Hilfs fatty alcohol auxiliary or mixture of auxiliaries does not show these disadvantages.

Die Menge des erfindungsgemässen Aufhellerpräparats berechnet sind derart, dass der Dispersions-Aufheller in Mengen von 0,001 bis 1 Gewichtsprozent, insbesondere 0,01 bis 0,55 Gewichtsprozent, bezogen auf Weisspigment, vorliegt.The coating slips according to the invention preferably contain 30 to 70% of a white pigment. The binder is preferably used in an amount sufficient that the dry content of polymeric compound is 1 to 30 percent by weight, preferably 5 to 25 percent by weight, of the white pigment. The amount of the brightener preparation according to the invention is calculated in such a way that the dispersion brightener is present in amounts of 0.001 to 1 percent by weight, in particular 0.01 to 0.55 percent by weight, based on the white pigment.

Die erfindungsgemässe Streichmasse kann dadurch hergestellt werden, dass man die Komponenten in beliebiger Reihenfolge bei Temperaturen von 10 bis 100°C, vorzugsweise 20 bis 80°C, mischt. Zu den Komponenten zählen hier auch die üblichen Hilfsmittel, die zur Regulierung der rheologischen Eigenschaften wie Viskosität oder Wasserrückhaltevermögen der Streichmassen eingesetzt werden können. Solche Hilfsmittel sind z.B. natürliche Bindemittel wie Stärke, Casein, Protein oder Gelatine, Celluloseether wie Carboxyalkylcellulose oder Hydroxyalkylcellulose, Alginsäure, Alginate, Polyethylenoxid oder Polyethylenoxidalkylether, Mischpolymerisate von Ethylenoxid und Propylenoxid, Polyvinylalkohol, Polyvinylpyrrolidon, wasserlösliche Kondensationsprodukte von Formaldehyd mit Harnstoff oder Melamin, Polyphosphate oder polyacrylsaure Salze.The coating slip according to the invention can be produced by mixing the components in any order at temperatures from 10 to 100 ° C., preferably 20 to 80 ° C. The components here also include the usual auxiliaries that can be used to regulate the rheological properties such as viscosity or water retention of the coating slips. Such tools are e.g. natural binders such as starch, casein, protein or gelatin, cellulose ethers such as carboxyalkyl cellulose or hydroxyalkyl cellulose, alginic acid, alginates, polyethylene oxide or polyethylene oxide alkyl ethers, copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, water-soluble condensation products of formaldehyde with urea or melamine, polyphosphate salts or polyphosphates.

Polypropylen, Polyethylen, Polyester, Cellulose, Cellulosetriacetat, Textilstoffen, nicht gewebten Materialien und geeigneten Baustoffen wie z.B. Tapeten, Raumverkleidungen, Kunststoffüberzügen verwendet werden. Besonders bevorzugt ist die Anwendung auf Papier und Karton sowie Photopapieren.The coating slip according to the invention can be used to coat paper, wood, foils such as e.g. Polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, cellulose, cellulose triacetate, textiles, non-woven materials and suitable building materials such as Wallpaper, room cladding, plastic covers can be used.

Die Streichmasse kann auf das Substrat durch jedes herkömmliche Verfahren aufgebracht werden, beispielsweise mit einem Luftmesser, einem Streichmesser, einer Bürste, einer Rolle, einer Rakel oder einem Stab, worauf dann die Beschichtung z.B. mit Infrarottrocknern und/oder Heisslufttrocknern bei Papieroberflächentemperaturen im Bereich von 70 bis 200°C, vorzugsweise 90 bis 130°C, bis auf eine Restfeuchte von 3-6 % getrocknet werden. Vergleichbar hohe Weissgrade werden somit schon beiniedrigen Trocknungstemperaturen erreicht.The coating slip can be applied to the substrate by any conventional method, for example using an air knife, a doctor knife, a brush, a roller, a squeegee or a stick, followed by coating with, for example, infrared dryers and / or hot air dryers at paper surface temperatures in the range of 70 up to 200 ° C, preferably 90 to 130 ° C, to a residual moisture content of 3-6%. Comparably high degrees of whiteness are thus achieved even at low drying temperatures.

Durch die Verwendung der erfindungsgemässen Präparate bzw. Hilfsmittel zeichnen sich die erhaltenen Beschichtungen durch eine optimale Verteilung der Dispersions-Aufheller über die gesamte Oberfläche und eine dadurch bedingte Steigerung des Weissniveaus sowie eine hohe Lichtechtheit aus.As a result of the use of the preparations or auxiliaries according to the invention, the coatings obtained are distinguished by an optimal distribution of the dispersion brighteners over the entire surface and a consequent increase in the white level as well as a high light fastness.
