Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé en vue de la préparation de matériaux en feuilles, de structure fibreuse et à base de cellulose, notamment par voie papetière humide et constituant des papiers, non tissés ou cartons, ennoblis par imprégnation de résines élastomères.The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of sheet materials, of fibrous structure and of cellulose base, in particular by wet papermaking and constituting paper, nonwoven or cardboard, ennobled by impregnation of elastomeric resins.

La présente invention permet ainsi d'obtenir à partir d'un procédé utilisant une chaîne de fabrication papetière, des feuilles fibreuses à base de cellulose, notamment lisses ou crêpées et ennoblies par diverses matières synthétiques de nature élastomères ou plastomères.The present invention thus makes it possible to obtain, from a process using a papermaking production line, fibrous sheets based on cellulose, in particular smooth or creped and ennobled by various synthetic materials of elastomeric or plastomeric nature.

Le procédé permet ainsi d'obtenir des cartons présentant des propriétés spécifiques provenant de l'imprégnation de produits constitués desdites résines et permettant l'utilisation du matériau ainsi obtenu dans des applications nombreuses tels les cuirs artificiels et la production de chaussures et articles de maroquinerie, des feuilles d'impression à haute valeur, des papiers gommés ou étiquettes ainsi que des supports de couches abrasives; l'invention permet également d'obtenir des rubans adhésifs sensibles à la pression, des substrats utilisables en tapisserie (revêtements de sols ou de murs); l'invention permet encore de réaliser des matériaux à utilisations techniques notamment pour l'enroulement et la protection d'éléments filiformes tels que cables ou cableries électriques ainsi que des enveloppes de formes diverses notamment des enveloppes de stérilisation.The process thus makes it possible to obtain cartons having specific properties originating from the impregnation of products made up of said resins and allowing the use of the material thus obtained in numerous applications such as artificial leathers and the production of shoes and leather goods, high value printing sheets, gummed papers or labels as well as abrasive layer supports; the invention also makes it possible to obtain pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, substrates usable in tapestry (floor or wall coverings); the invention also makes it possible to produce materials for technical uses, in particular for winding and protecting filiform elements such as cables or electrical cables, as well as envelopes of various shapes, in particular sterilization envelopes.

On connaît déjà l'incorporation dans la masse de la feuille cellulosique d'une résine élastomère notamment au niveau de la presse d'imprégnation; cette résine présente des avantages au niveau de l'utilisation du produit fini en apportant au papier des qualités de stabilisation, de solidité et de résistance mécanique ainsi que de flexibilité recherchée pour de nombreuses applications.We already know the incorporation into the mass of the sheet cellulosic of an elastomeric resin, in particular at the level of the impregnation press; this resin has advantages in terms of the use of the finished product by providing the paper with qualities of stabilization, solidity and mechanical resistance as well as flexibility sought for many applications.

On sait également que l'utilisation de telles résines présente des difficultés particulières dans la phase de fabrication.It is also known that the use of such resins presents particular difficulties in the manufacturing phase.

En effet les propriétés bien connues (et précisément recherchées dans cette application) des résines élastomères provoquent trop facilement l'adhérence du papier imprégné, lors de la phase de séchage, sur les parois des cylindres sécheurs.Indeed, the well known properties (and precisely sought in this application) of elastomeric resins too easily cause the adhesion of impregnated paper, during the drying phase, on the walls of the drying cylinders.

Il suit que petit à petit, une partie de la résine élastomère présente en surface sur la feuille, lors du séchage, vient à adhérer à la paroi du cylindre de séchage; ceci entraîne par un phénomène cumulatif l'adhérence ultérieure d'une nouvelle couche mince de latex provenant de la feuille successive.It follows that little by little, part of the elastomeric resin present on the surface on the sheet, during drying, comes to adhere to the wall of the drying cylinder; this brings about by a cumulative phenomenon the subsequent adhesion of a new thin layer of latex coming from the successive sheet.

Il suit que le cylindre de séchage tend à retenir à sa surface la feuille en cours de séchage donc ne possédant que des propriétés mécaniques faibles qui vient à se déchirer avec rupture dans la continuité du déroulement.It follows that the drying cylinder tends to retain on its surface the sheet during drying therefore having only weak mechanical properties which comes to tear with rupture in the continuity of the course.

Les cylindres par ailleurs se trouvent régulièrement encrassés par les dépôts de résines, ce qui entraîne la nécessité d'arrêts réguliers en vue d'opérations de nettoyage, entraînant un abaissement du rendement général de la fabrication.The cylinders, moreover, are regularly fouled by the deposits of resins, which leads to the need for regular stops for cleaning operations, resulting in a lowering of the general production yield.

Etant donné l'intérêt des produits papetiers à imprégnation de résines élastomères ou plastomères, on a déjà cherché dans le passé à résoudre cette difficulté, à remédier aux inconvénients ci-dessus, c'est-à-dire à éviter le dépôt partiel de couches de résine lors du séchage depuis la feuille en cours de séchage sur le cylindre sécheur.Given the interest of paper products impregnated with elastomeric or plastomeric resins, efforts have already been made in the past to resolve this difficulty, to remedy the above drawbacks, that is to say to avoid partial deposition of layers. resin when drying from the sheet being dried on the drying cylinder.

Une première solution consistait à revêtir les cylindres et rouleaux de séchage par une résine anti-adhérente et à faible coefficient de frottement telles que les résines fluorocarbonées.A first solution consisted in coating the drying cylinders and rollers with a non-stick resin with a low coefficient of friction such as fluorocarbon resins.

Cette solution connaît cependant des limites dans la mesure où les cylindres de séchage sont nécessairement maintenus à une température permettant de provoquer l'évaporation de l'eau présente dans la feuille en cours de séchage; et la permanence de cette charge thermique au niveau du revêtement fluorocarboné entraîne une dégradation lente mais régulière de cette couche avec la formation de micro fentes et de fissures capillaires amplifiée par l'action des savons présents dans les produits d'imprégnation (en tant qu'agents de surface); de sorte que le latex ou les résines élastomères finissent par se loger dans ces cavités et par entraînement se déposent sur l'ensemble des cylindres sécheurs en provoquant des salissures.This solution, however, has limits insofar as the drying cylinders are necessarily maintained at a temperature making it possible to cause the evaporation of the water present in the sheet during drying; and the permanence of this thermal charge at the fluorocarbon coating causes a slow but regular degradation of this layer with the formation of micro cracks and hair cracks amplified by the action of soaps present in the impregnation products (as surfactants); so that the latex or the elastomeric resins end up being housed in these cavities and by entrainment are deposited on the set of the drying cylinders causing dirt.

Une autre solution a été également préconisée qui consiste à adjoindre à la résine élastomérique des agents anti-adhérents et constitués de polymères à longues molécules ou de polymères contenant des groupements fonctionnels d'acylamides. Ces substances en raison de leur effet anti-adhérent provoqué notamment par les amides d'acides gras, peuvent maintenir la feuille jusqu'à l'enrouleuse sans qu'elle ne colle.Another solution has also been recommended which consists in adding to the elastomeric resin non-stick agents and consisting of polymers with long molecules or of polymers containing functional groups of acylamides. These substances, due to their non-stick effect caused in particular by fatty acid amides, can hold the sheet up to the reel without it sticking.

Cette solution présente cependant également des inconvénients dans la mesure où il a été constaté que des monomères se libèrent par décomposition du produit anti-adhérent lors du vieillissement ultérieur de la feuille ou par suite de défauts lors de la fabrication de l'agent anti-adhérent, notamment s'il s'agit d'un polymérisat à longues chaînes.However, this solution also has drawbacks insofar as it has been observed that monomers are released by decomposition of the non-stick product during the subsequent aging of the sheet or as a result of defects during the manufacture of the non-stick agent. , especially if it is a polymer with long chains.

On a constaté dans de telles conditions qu'au niveau du produit final, les propriétés recherchées de ce dernier se trouvent handicapées et réduites; notamment l'adhérence de la feuille dans le cas d'une feuille adhésive sensible à la pression, se trouve limitée et minorée; et dans le cas de l'utilisation de tels papiers comme support d'impression, l'imprimabilité se trouve également limitée.It was found under such conditions that at the end product, the desired properties of the latter are disabled and reduced; in particular the adhesion of the sheet in the case of an adhesive sheet sensitive to pressure, is limited and reduced; and in the case of the use of such papers as a printing medium, the printability is also limited.

On a également préconisé une solution permettant la fabrication d'une feuille à base de fibres de cellulose contenant une imprégnation élastomérique et dans laquelle on incorpore dans la matière de départ des composés organiques électro-positifs cationiques en vue de réduire le potentiel zeta.A solution has also been recommended which allows the manufacture of a sheet based on cellulose fibers containing an elastomeric impregnation and in which organic electro-positive cationic compounds are incorporated into the starting material in order to reduce the zeta potential.

L'invention permet de fabriquer des produits papetiers contenant une proportion importante de composition d'ennoblissement sous forme de polymères et élastomères ou plastomères et sans aucun risque de déposition d'éléments provenant de la résine d'ennoblissement au long de la machinerie et notamment au niveau des rouleaux de séchage.The invention makes it possible to manufacture paper products containing a large proportion of finishing composition in the form of polymers and elastomers or plastomers and without any risk of deposition of elements originating from the finishing resin along the machinery and in particular at level of drying rollers.

On connait déjà par le brevet EP-A-00 670 76 l'adjonction d'un adjuvant, constitué d'un polyelectrolyte, au produit d'annoblissement, pour améliorer son greffage sur les Fonctions cellulosiques l'invention concerne un procédé de préparation par voie humide de matériaux en feuilles de structure fibreuse à base de cellulose, tels que des papiers, cartons ou non tissés dans lequel la structure fibreuse en nappe est enrichie de matériaux d'ennoblissement constitués de polymères synthétiques de résines élastomères ou plastomères, et dans lequel la feuille humide formée sur la toile sans fin, passe dans une presse d'imprégnation, pour y recevoir dans sa masse, avant séchage sur des rouleaux chauffants, l'imprégnation du matériau d'ennoblissement constitué par la résine élastomère ou plastomère, sous forme d'une dispersion aqueuse,
caractérisé en ce que ladite dispersion aqueuse contient un additif propre à provoquer la coagulation spontanée de ladite résine au-delà d'une température donnée avec relargage d'une quantité d'eau, ainsi apte à constituer une interface s'opposant à l'adhérence du produit élastomère ou plastomère sur le cylindre chauffant de séchage ultérieur et ledit additif de coagulation de la résine élastomère ou plastomères est constitué d'agents gélifiants tels que les produits de polycondensation des polyols aliphatiques à longues chaînes et plus spécialement les polyesters de propylène éthylène, le méthylester de l'alcool polyvinylique, les polyoxyéthylènes.
We already know from patent EP-A-00 670 76 the addition of an adjuvant, consisting of a polyelectrolyte, to the ennobling product, to improve its grafting on the cellulosic Functions, the invention relates to a process for wet preparation of cellulose-based fibrous structure sheet materials, such as paper, cardboard or nonwovens in which the fibrous web structure is enriched with finishing materials made of synthetic polymers of elastomeric or plastomeric resins, and in which the wet sheet formed on the endless fabric passes through an impregnation press, to receive there in its mass, before drying on heating rollers, the impregnation of the finishing material constituted by the elastomeric or plastomeric resin, in the form of an aqueous dispersion,
characterized in that said aqueous dispersion contains an additive capable of causing spontaneous coagulation of said resin above a given temperature with the release of a quantity of water, thus capable of constituting an interface opposing adhesion of the elastomeric or plastomeric product on the heating cylinder for subsequent drying and said coagulation additive of the elastomeric or plastomeric resin consists of gelling agents such as the polycondensation products of long-chain aliphatic polyols and more particularly the polyesters of propylene ethylene, polyvinyl alcohol methyl ester, polyoxyethylenes.

Dans une première forme de réalisation on utilise une pâte à fibres longues permettant une absorption suffisante et des résistances adaptées à l'usage auquel le produit est destiné; la pâte à fibres longues, blanchie, demi-blanchie ou écrue est peu raffinée (16 à 30°SR); on maintient le milieu à un pH sensiblement neutre, compris entre 6,5 et 7,5; on notera cependant que toutes les pâtes, y compris les pâtes recyclées peuvent être employées dans le cadre du procédé d'ennoblissement selon l'invention.
Les fibres de façon classiques et conventionnelles sont désintégrées dans le pulper et éventuellement raffinées et dans la pâte ainsi réalisée est alors introduit une première composition d'accrochage ou un premier apprêt constituant un produit de rétention et choisi parmi les produits désignés sous les marques déposées Rétaminol (Bayer), Cartarétine (Sandoz), Percol (Allied Colloid); ce premier apprêt est introduit dans une proportion comprise entre 0,1 et 3% du total.
In a first embodiment, a long fiber paste is used which allows sufficient absorption and resistance adapted to the use for which the product is intended; the long-fiber, bleached, semi-bleached or unbleached pulp is not very refined (16 to 30 ° SR); the medium is maintained at a substantially neutral pH, between 6.5 and 7.5; it will be noted however that all the pastes, including the recycled pastes can be used within the framework of the finishing process according to the invention.
The fibers in a conventional and conventional manner are disintegrated in the pulper and possibly refined and in the paste thus produced is then introduced a first bonding composition or a first finish constituting a retention product and chosen from the products designated under the registered trademarks Retaminol (Bayer), Cartaretine (Sandoz), Percol (Allied Colloid); this first primer is introduced in a proportion of between 0.1 and 3% of the total.

Après un intervalle de temps de 15 à 20 minutes, pendant lequel la pâte continue à être travaillée, on introduit dans cette pâte un second apprêt constitué d'un polymérisat relativement dur et polaire, dégageant une énergie de surface assez grande; de préférence ce polymérisat est un élastomère et il est dispersé dans la masse fibreuse en de très fines particules sous forme de dispersion aqueuse; on obtient ainsi une grande aptitude à l'adhésion entre les élastomères, ou dispersion d'élastomères ou de plastomères avec les fibres de la pâte.After a time interval of 15 to 20 minutes, during which the dough continues to be worked, a second primer is introduced into this dough consisting of a relatively hard and polar polymer, giving off a fairly large surface energy; preferably this polymer is an elastomer and it is dispersed in the fibrous mass in very fine particles in the form of an aqueous dispersion; a great aptitude for adhesion between the elastomers is thus obtained, or dispersion of elastomers or plastomers with the fibers of the pulp.

Parmi les élastomères préférés on a noté le polychloroprène, le polybutadiène acrylonitrile, le polyacrylate et le polyacétate de vinyle. Ce second apprêt élastomérique est introduit dans une proportion de 0,1 à 3% du total.Among the preferred elastomers, polychloroprene, polybutadiene acrylonitrile, polyacrylate and polyvinyl acetate have been noted. This second elastomeric primer is introduced in a proportion of 0.1 to 3% of the total.

Ainsi qu'on l'a indiqué le produit de rétention introduit dans la pâte abaisse le potentiel zeta et réduit en même temps le degré de raffinage par fixation des fines et par réticulation entre les molécules polyélectrolytes à longues chaînes et les fibres cellulosiques de la feuille. Il en résulte une stabilisation de la structure de la feuille ou, en d'autres mots, une cohésion de la feuille sans perte du pouvoir absorbant. Les adjonctions succesives - à intervalles déterminés - des produits auxiliaires à la pâte (produit de rétention et dispersion polymère) répartissent très finement sur la surface de la fibre où ils présentent - sous forme de voile - un fond adhésif excellent pour le latex "mou" subséquent et constituant le produit d'ennoblissement principal.As indicated, the retention product introduced into the paste lowers the zeta potential and at the same time reduces the degree of refining by fixing the fines and by crosslinking between the long-chain polyelectrolyte molecules and the cellulose fibers of the sheet. . This results in stabilization of the structure of the sheet or, in other words, cohesion of the sheet without loss of absorbency. The successive additions - at predetermined intervals - of auxiliary products to the dough (retention product and polymer dispersion) distribute very finely over the surface of the fiber where they present - in the form of a veil - an adhesive base excellent for "soft" latex subsequent and constituting the main finishing product.

Après 20 à 30 minutes, il y a absorption par la masse fibreuse des fines et des adjonctions mentionnées. En filtrant la pâte, on constate que l'eau est absolument claire.After 20 to 30 minutes, there is absorption by the fibrous mass of the fines and the additions mentioned. By filtering the dough, we see that the water is absolutely clear.

La pâte préparée et modifiée en surface sera amenée en tête de la machine à la concentration de 0,4% dans l'eau. La quantité nécessaire de résine de réticulation (4 à 8%) y est ajoutée en continu.The prepared and surface-modified dough will be brought to the top of the machine at a concentration of 0.4% in water. The necessary quantity of crosslinking resin (4 to 8%) is added thereto continuously.

La feuille est alors formée sur la toile sans fin pour être finalement séchée.
La formation de la feuille se fait sans obstacle au feutrage de la fibre c'est à dire sans entrave à la formation des ponts hydriques qui lient naturellement les fibres entre elles. Le matériau fibreux sortant de la toile sans fin est séché jusqu'à un degré d'humidité de 8 à 15% et il possède alors un pouvoir d'absorption adéquate réglable au départ par le raffinage de la pâte.
The sheet is then formed on the endless canvas to be finally dried.
The formation of the sheet is done without obstacle to the felting of the fiber, that is to say without hindrance to the formation of water bridges which naturally bind the fibers together. The fibrous material leaving the endless fabric is dried to a humidity level of 8 to 15% and it then has an adequate absorption power which can be adjusted initially by refining the dough.

La feuille est alors introduite dans la presse d'imprégnation, au degré d'humidité précité (8 à 15%) pour être introduite dans le bain d'imprégnation comportant entre 15 et 45% de résine élastomère ou plastomère sous forme de dispersion aqueuse.
Le bain d'imprégnation à base de résine élastomère comporte, selon un élément caractéristique de l'invention, l'incorporation d'un composant constituant un agent gélifiant propre à provoquer la coagulation de la résine élastomère à partir d'un certain niveau thermique.
The sheet is then introduced into the impregnation press, at the aforementioned degree of humidity (8 to 15%) to be introduced into the impregnation bath comprising between 15 and 45% of elastomeric resin or plastomer in the form of an aqueous dispersion.
The impregnation bath based on elastomeric resin comprises, according to a characteristic element of the invention, the incorporation of a component constituting a gelling agent capable of causing coagulation of the elastomeric resin from a certain thermal level.

Le bain d'imprégnation est maintenu à une température inférieure à ladite température préajustée de coagulation de sorte que la dispersion est stable au niveau du bain d'imprégnation. On précisera que le polymère élastomérique ou plastomère du bain d'imprégnation peut être choisi dans la même famille que les élastomères utilisés à titre de second apprêt (dans la phase de préparation de la pâte); cependant le polymère du bain d'imprégnation sera différent dans chaque cas de celui dejà utilisé pour la prépation de la surface des fibres en tant que second apprêt d'accrochage. Le choix de la résine élastomère d'imprégnation sera déterminé en vue d'une bonne adhésion, c'est-à-dire d'une bonne compatibilité au point de vue chimique et physique entre les deux formules c'est-à-dire entre l'élastomère utilisé à titre de second apprêt d'accrochage et l'élastomère d'imprégnation dans la feuille.The impregnation bath is maintained at a temperature below said pre-adjusted coagulation temperature so that the dispersion is stable at the level of the impregnation bath. It will be specified that the elastomeric polymer or plastomer of the impregnation bath can be chosen from the same family as the elastomers used as a second finish (in the dough preparation phase); however the polymer of the impregnation bath will be different in each case from that already used for the preparation of the surface of the fibers as a second bonding primer. The choice of the elastomeric impregnation resin will be determined with a view to good adhesion, that is to say good compatibility from the chemical and physical point of view between the two formulas, that is to say between the elastomer used as a second attachment primer and the elastomer for impregnation in the sheet.

Selon un cas de mise en oeuvre particulière de l'invention, on précisera que le pH du bain d'imprégnation est maintenu à une valeur acide correspondant à un pH compris entre 4 et 5 et de préférence entre 4 et 4,5, par adjonction notamment d'acide maléique ou d'acide paratoluènesulfonique; l'ajustement du pH permettant d'obtenir la coagulation à la température programmée.According to a particular implementation of the invention, it will be specified that the pH of the impregnation bath is maintained at an acid value corresponding to a pH between 4 and 5 and preferably between 4 and 4.5, by adding in particular maleic acid or paratoluenesulfonic acid; adjusting the pH to obtain coagulation at the programmed temperature.

Après passage dans la presse d'imprégnation et absorption de la quantité de dispersion prévue, la feuille est conduite vers les dispositifs de séchage notamment par radiations infrarouges et passage sur des rouleaux chauffants.After passing through the impregnation press and absorption of the quantity of dispersion provided, the sheet is led to the drying devices, in particular by infrared radiation and passage over heating rollers.

L'élévation thermique à laquelle la feuille imprégnée est soumise provoque alors une coagulation de la dispersion de résine élastomère au sein de la structure fibreuse; cette coagulation s'accompagne d'un relargage sur les deux surfaces de la feuille d'une certaine quantité d'eau; il se produit ainsi lors du passage sur les rouleaux chauffants une interface humide qui s'oppose à un contact "à sec" entre la résine élastomère et la surface du rouleau et empêche par conséquent toute déposition parasite de cette résine sur le rouleau.The thermal rise to which the impregnated sheet is subjected then causes coagulation of the dispersion of elastomeric resin within the fibrous structure; this coagulation is accompanied by a release on the two surfaces of the sheet of a certain amount of water; it thus occurs when passing over the heating rollers a wet interface which opposes "dry" contact between the elastomeric resin and the surface of the roller and consequently prevents any parasitic deposition of this resin on the roller.

On peut ainsi obtenir le déroulement de la feuille, sur les cylindres sécheurs, sans provoquer la formation de dépôt de couches de résine élastomère comme dans la mise des procédés antérieurs.It is thus possible to obtain the unwinding of the sheet, on the drying cylinders, without causing the formation of deposits of layers of elastomeric resin as in the implementation of the previous processes.

La feuille ainsi formée peut recevoir alors des enductions superficielles sur une ou sur deux faces.
Ces enductions peuvent être un simple vernis de protection mais plus courramment et plus utilement on provoquera la mise en place de couches conférent des propriétés antinomiques d'une face à l'autre à savoir sur une face un vernis à caractère anti-adhésif et hydrophobe, tandis que sur l'autre face une couche facilitant l'accrochage ultérieur d'une masse adhésive ou de tout autre élément pour obtenir un ensemble auto-adhésif.
On a donné ci-après une présentation monographique des divers produits et compositions susceptibles d'intervenir dans la mise en oeuvre du procédé selon l'invention.
The sheet thus formed can then receive surface coatings on one or on two sides.
These coatings can be a simple protective varnish, but more commonly and more usefully, it will cause the establishment of layers giving antinomic properties from one side to the other, namely on one side a varnish of non-stick and hydrophobic character, while on the other side a layer facilitating the subsequent attachment of an adhesive mass or any other element to obtain a self-adhesive assembly.
We have given below a monographic presentation of the various products and compositions likely to be involved in the implementation of the method according to the invention.

DESCRIPTIF MONOGRAPHIQUEMONOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION Latex d'ester acryliqueAcrylic ester latex

Pour la préparation de la surface des fibres il y a utilisation de polyméthylacrylates connus pour leur dureté. Température de formation du film: supérieure à 10°C. Comme composant pour des bains d'imprégnation, on a choisi des produits avec des parts plus importantes d'esters de butyl et d'octyl (BASF Polysar). Température de formation du film : inférieure à 5°C.For the preparation of the surface of the fibers, use is made of polymethylacrylates known for their hardness. Film forming temperature: greater than 10 ° C. As a component for impregnation baths, products with higher proportions of butyl and octyl esters (BASF Polysar) have been chosen. Film forming temperature: less than 5 ° C.

Latex de polybutadiène-styrènePolybutadiene-styrene latex

Il peut être utilisé également dans la préparation de la surface à condition que la teneur en styrène soit comprise entre 50 et 65%. La température de formation du film se situe au dessus de 10°C.
Pour le bain d'imprégnation il a été choisi des produits avec une teneur en styrène d'environ 30% dont les températures de formation du film sont inférieures à 5°C .
It can also be used in the preparation of the surface provided that the styrene content is between 50 and 65%. The film formation temperature is above 10 ° C.
For the impregnation bath, products with a styrene content of approximately 30% were chosen, the film formation temperatures of which are less than 5 ° C.

Latex de polybutadiène-acrylonitrilePolybutadiene-acrylonitrile latex

Nous nous sommes servis de types contenant environ 40% d'acrylonitrile, 55% de butadiène et, en outre, de l'acide méthacrylique, de l'acide maléique ou/et de l'acide itaconique (Bayer, Polysar, Synthomer). Température de formation du film: supérieure à 10°C.
Comme produits d'imprégnation sont appropriés: ceux avec une quote-part de butadiène supérieure à 50% le reste étant une partie de styrène et de nitrile. La température de formation du film est inférieure à 5°C.
We used types containing about 40% acrylonitrile, 55% butadiene and, in addition, methacrylic acid, maleic acid and / or itaconic acid (Bayer, Polysar, Synthomer). Film forming temperature: greater than 10 ° C.
Suitable impregnation products: those with a share of butadiene greater than 50%, the rest being part of styrene and nitrile. The film forming temperature is less than 5 ° C.

Dispersions de polychloroprènePolychloroprene dispersions

La préparation de surface peut être effectuée avec des dispersions de polychloroprène ayant une faible tendance à la cristallisation, l'imprégnation à la presse d'imprégnation compensant cet effet. On obtient de très bons résultats avec une imprégnation subséquente à base de latex de polybutadiène-acrylonitrile et de latex de polyvinyl-acétate ou des coupages de ceux-ci avec des types de latex de polychloroprène (Dupont, Bayer) qui ne cristallisent pas.The surface preparation can be carried out with polychloroprene dispersions having a low tendency to crystallize, the impregnation with an impregnation press compensating for this effect. Very good results are obtained with a subsequent impregnation based on polybutadiene-acrylonitrile latex and polyvinyl acetate latex or blends of these with types of polychloroprene latex (Dupont, Bayer) which do not crystallize.

Dispersions de polyacétate de vinylePolyvinyl acetate dispersions

L'acétate de polyvinylique est approprié pour la préparation de la surface, non seulement comme homopolymère mais aussi comme copolymère avec des acrylates maléinates et d'autres dérivés de l'alcool polyvinylique, d'autant qu'il s'agit de types hautement polymérisés avec des températures de formation de film supérieure à IO°C . Comme produit d'imprégnation - en ce qui concerne les utilisations mentionnées au début - il est employé uniquement comme partenaire de coupage pour les latex de nitril, butadiènestyrène ou d'esters acryliques.Polyvinyl acetate is suitable for surface preparation, not only as a homopolymer but also as a copolymer with acrylates maleinates and other derivatives of polyvinyl alcohol, especially since these are highly polymerized types with film forming temperatures above 10 ° C. As an impregnating product - with regard to the uses mentioned at the beginning - it is used only as a cutting partner for the latexes of nitril, butadienestyrene or acrylic esters.

Ingrédients complémentairesComplementary ingredients

Les polyéthers de propylène-éthylène, le méthyléther de l'alcool polyvinylique, les polyoxyéthylènes sont des agents coagulants, dit "agents gélifiants" comme d'autres produits de polycondensation de différents diols aliphatiques à longues chaînes. Ils ont la propriété de devenir insolubles dans l'eau lors d'une élévation de température après quoi, il y a spontanément une coagulation générale de la dispersion. En même temps, toute la quantité d'eau est libérée On travaille à des valeurs de pH inférieures à 5.The polyethers of propylene-ethylene, the methylether of polyvinyl alcohol, the polyoxyethylenes are coagulating agents, called "gelling agents" like other products of polycondensation of different aliphatic diols with long chains. They have the property of becoming insoluble in water during a rise in temperature after which, there is spontaneously a general coagulation of the dispersion. At the same time, the whole quantity of water is released. We work at pH values below 5.

Alcool polyvinylique, polyacrylamide, acide polyacrylique + NH3.
Ce sont des régulateurs de viscosité et utilisés dans le but d'augmenter la viscosité. L'alcool polyvinylique donne également de l'hydrophilie.
Le polyglycol, la triéthanolamine, le glyoxal ont des fonctions adoucissantes, plastifiantes et hydrophiles.
Polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid + NH3.
They are viscosity regulators and used for the purpose of increasing viscosity. Polyvinyl alcohol also gives hydrophilicity.
Polyglycol, triethanolamine, glyoxal have softening, plasticizing and hydrophilic functions.

Résines de renforcement.Reinforcement resins.

On peut employer certaines résines pour le renforcement physique de la liaison fibre à fibre (résine de colophane, ester de colophane) ou pour la réticulation chimique des fibres (résines de mélamine formaldéhyde, des résines de phénolformaldéhyde). Dans des conditions bien précises (température élevée, rayons riches en énergie), les combinaisons d'urée-formol, de mélamine-formol et de phénol-formol réticulent également le produit d'imprégnation.Some resins can be used for the physical reinforcement of the fiber to fiber bond (rosin resin, rosin ester) or for the chemical crosslinking of fibers (melamine formaldehyde resins, phenolformaldehyde resins). Under very specific conditions (high temperature, energy-rich rays), the combinations of urea-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde also crosslink the impregnation product.

Enductions de vernisVarnish coatings

Un des aspects de l'invention, qui concourt lui aussi à l'ennoblissement du papier, est l'application du vernis de protection d'une face de la feuille. Ont été utilisés comme produits de base: des dispersions de PVC, de PVDC, de PVAC, d'ester de polyacryl, de polystyrène et d'autres matières polymères en dispersion aqueuse.
Pour l'hydrofugation et l'antiadhésion, on peut utiliser différentes préparations:

  • soit celles à base de chrome trivalent complexées avec de l'acide stéarique
  • soit celles à base de résines de mélamines et d'acides gras à longues chaînes (Sunsize) qui donnent de bons vernis couvrant. Les résines les mieux adaptées sont les mélamines formol et les urée formol solubles dans l'eau et réticulables. Ces enductions peuvent être appelées des enductions "release" employées couramment pour des rubans adhésifs.
One of the aspects of the invention, which also contributes to the finishing of the paper, is the application of protective varnish to one side of the sheet. Were used as basic products: dispersions of PVC, PVDC, PVAC, polyacryl ester, polystyrene and other polymeric materials in aqueous dispersion.
For waterproofing and antiadhesion, different preparations can be used:
  • either those based on trivalent chromium complexed with stearic acid
  • or those based on melamine resins and long chain fatty acids (Sunsize) which give good covering varnishes. The most suitable resins are formaldehyde melamines and water-soluble crosslinkable ureas. These coatings can be called "release" coatings commonly used for adhesive tapes.

Pour avoir un bon accrochage des substances adhésives sur la feuille imprégnée, on procède à une imprégnation intégrale du papier en vue de constituer in pré-ancrage propre à améliorer l'efficacité et la tenue de la couche adhésive déposée ultérieurement.
Les formules de base suivantes ont été employées:
To have a good adhesion of the adhesive substances on the impregnated sheet, an integral impregnation of the paper is carried out in order to constitute a pre-anchoring capable of improving the efficiency and the resistance of the adhesive layer deposited subsequently.
The following basic formulas were used:

L'invention couvre également diverses variantes qui permettent par l'utilisation des résines élastomères notamment des latex naturels ou synthétiques d'obtenir une imprégnation de la feuille tout en adoptant un pH se situant dans une gamme plus large que précédemment évoqués et susceptible de se situer entre 3 et 33.The invention also covers various variants which allow, by the use of elastomeric resins, in particular natural or synthetic latexes, to obtain an impregnation of the sheet while adopting a pH lying in a wider range than previously mentioned and likely to be between 3 and 33.

On peut en outre obtenir le film d'eau d'isolation relarguer depuis la coagulation de la résine, grâce à un choc thermique créé notamment par l'émission d'un rayonnement de longueur d'ondes appropriée.It is also possible to obtain the insulation water film released from the coagulation of the resin, thanks to a thermal shock created in particular by the emission of radiation of appropriate wavelength.

Il est ainsi possible d'enrichir la feuille d'un primer ou pré-ancrage facilitant et optimisant la dépose de la masse adhésive ultérieure.It is thus possible to enrich the sheet with a primer or pre-anchoring facilitating and optimizing the removal of the subsequent adhesive mass.

On a en effet constaté que les primer généralement déposés par les transformateurs sous forme d'une couche d'enduction ont tendance dans le temps, à cause de la migration des charges à appauvrir la capacité adhésive de la masse adhésive. Il en résulte un gain d'efficacité de la masse adhésive ancrée au papier ayant subi l'imprégnation de pré-ancrage selon l'invention.
Le procédé selon l'invention est donc facteur de l'amélioration de la qualité et de l'efficacité en même temps qu'une source d'économie substancielle; le transformateur peut en effet obtenir une efficacité identique tout en bénéficiant d'un gain de poids dans l'utilisation de la masse adhésive compris entre 15 et 30%.
It has in fact been found that the primers generally deposited by the transformers in the form of a coating layer have a tendency over time, because of the migration of the charges, to deplete the adhesive capacity of the adhesive mass. This results in a gain in efficiency of the adhesive mass anchored to the paper having undergone the pre-anchoring impregnation according to the invention.
The method according to the invention is therefore a factor in improving the quality and efficiency as well as a source of substantial savings; the transformer can indeed obtain identical efficiency while benefiting from a weight saving in the use of the adhesive mass of between 15 and 30%.
