Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the production of paper with wet strength properties using polyamine or polyamideamine based wet strength resins. More particularly the invention relates to a process wherein the wet strength resin is added to the stock at a low pH and wherein the pH of the wet web is increased before the drying.
  • Polyamine resins and polyamideamine resins which also are called polyamide polyamine resins or polyamine polyamide resins, are well known additives in papermaking for the production of wet strength paper.
  • These cationic thermosetting resins are modified with cross-linking agents such as epihalohydrins, primarily epichlorohydrin, diisocyanates and dichloro isopropanol.
  • the main use of these resins is for the production of soft crêpe paper, since they do not impair softness or absorption capability.
  • the with cross-linking agents modified polyamine and polyamideamine resins are normally used as additives to the stock at neutral or alkaline pH, usually within the range of from 6 to 11 and most often at a pH of from 6 to 8, since it is considered that this gives the best effect.
  • the effect when using polyamine and polyamideamine resins, modified with cross-linking agents such as e.g. epichlorohydrin can be considerably improved if the resins are added to the stock at an acid pH whereafter the pH, in a later stage of the paper production, before the drying, is increased for curing of the resin.
  • the retention of the resin to the fibres is substantially improved.
  • a higher wet strength can be obtained than that previously obtained when the resins were used at a neutral or alkaline stock-pH.
  • the process of the invention also makes it possible to decrease the amount of modified resin required to obtain a certain degree of wet strength. Both this possibility and the increased retention are of considerable importance with regard to the environmental impact by resins with halogenated cross-linking agents, such as epichlorohydrin, since the outlet in the waste water of halogenated organic compounds can be decreased.
  • the present invention thus relates to a method for the production of paper, board and paperboard, ie cellulose based products in web or sheet form, as defined in the patent claims.
  • the polyamine and polyamideamine resins modified with cross-linking agents are per se well known wet strength resins at paper production. Any such resin can be used.
  • the present invention relates particularly to the production of paper using modified polyamideamine resin.
  • the polyamideamine resins modified with cross-linking agents which can be used in the present process are cationic, water soluble and thermosetting. These types of resins are based on reaction products of cross-linking agents and polyamineamide originating from aliphatic dicarboxylic acids or derivatives of these, such as esters, and polyalkylene polyamines such as diethylenetriamine, tetraethylenepentamine, methylbisaminopropylamine etc..
  • polyamideamine resins are such which are modified with epihalohydrins and particularly with epichlorohydrin.
  • the polyamideamine resin is added to the stock at a pH of not higher than 6.5 and suitably at a pH of not higher than 5.
  • the lower limit for the pH is suitably 4 and it is especially preferred that the pH is within the range of from 4 to 5.
  • the pH in the stock supplied to the paper machine can vary within the range of from 3 to 11.
  • Required adjustment of the pH in the stock to the paper machine can suitably be made in the machine box.
  • the pH adjustment for a more acid pH can be carried out with alum but, in order to increase the possibility to reach a z-potential of 0 in the stock as far as possible, it is preferred to make the pH adjustment with sulfuric acid.
  • the modified polyamine or polyamideamine resin can be added to the stock in the machine box or at a suitable point between this and the wire and it is suitably added to the stock in the form of a diluted aqueous solution of 1 to 2%, as conventionally.
  • the wet strength resins are usually used in amounts of from about 0.2 to about 3 per cent by weight, calculated as dry on the dry content of the stock, fibers and optional fillers. With the present process, which gives increased retention, the amounts can be considerably reduced, if so desired.
  • good effect can be obtained with from 0.1 per cent by weight of the polyamine or polyamideamine resin, calculated as dry on the dry substance of the stock.
  • the upper limit is not critical for the wet strength effect and amounts up to about 3 per cent by weight can be used. For reasons of economy, and in order to make use of the advantages with regard to environment which are offered, it is suitable to use amounts up to 2.0 per cent by weight. It is particularly suitable to use amounts within the range of from 0.2 to 1.0 per cent.
  • the pH is then to be adjusted to an alkaline pH for curing of the resin.
  • This adjustment of pH is made in the wet web formed on the wire, before the drying.
  • the stock supplied to and dewatered on the wire usually has a dry substance content of from 0.1 to 0.5 per cent by weight.
  • the wet web at the end of the wire has a dry content of from about 15 to about 20 per cent by weight. After the press section of the paper machine the wet web has a dry content of about 25 to about 35 per cent by weight.
  • the pH adjustment according to the present invention is made to the wet web before the drying, ie when the web has a dry content of from about 15 to about 35 per cent by weight.
  • the pH adjustment of the wet web is suitably made in connection with rolls or other equipment at the final end of the wire, for example at dandy rolls or via press felts.
  • rolls or other equipment at the final end of the wire, for example at dandy rolls or via press felts.
  • a spray equipment in direct connection to this cylinder by means of which chemicals such as picking chemicals and softeners are added. At such machines it is suitable to carry out pH adjustment by spraying at this dosage point.
  • the pH is to be adjusted so that the aqueous phase of the wet web gets a value of not lower than 7.
  • the pH adjustment is suitably carried out to a pH not lower than 8.
  • the upper limit for the pH is suitably at 10 and it is particularly preferred that the pH is within the range of from 8 to 10.
  • the pH adjustment in the wet web is carried out using a suitable alkalizing solution.
  • the pH can be adjusted with for example hydroxide or bicarbonate and then particularly sodium- and ammonium hydroxide and sodium- and ammonium bicarbonate respectively. Further, it is, of course, suitable to work with alkaline solutions of fairly high concentration in order to avoid adding too much water which then has to be dried off. However, so strong solutions that discolouring of the cellulose occurs are of course to be avoided.
  • the present process gives advantages with regard to retention and level of wet strength. It has also been found that a certain increase of the rate of curing is obtained which means that storage times can be shortened.
  • the present process can be used for the production of wet strength paper of different types where modified polyamine or polyamideamine resins are used, and particularly for the production of soft crêpe paper such as tissue for household and sanitary purposes since softness and absorption properties are maintained.
  • other paper chemicals such as hydrophobing agents and retention agents can be used.
  • Paper having a grammage of 70 g/m2 was produced on an experimental papermaking machine from bleached sulphate pulp beaten to 24°SR.
  • a wet strength resin of polyamideamine type modified with epichlorohydrin was used as the sole additive. The resin was added in an amount of 0.4 per cent by weight based on dry pulp.
  • the wet strength resin was added to a stock having a pH of 6 to 7 and no subsequent pH adjustment was made.
  • test 1b) according to the invention, the wet strength resin was added to a stock having a pH of 4 to 5. The pH in the web formed on the wire was then raised to between 7 and 7.4 before pressing and drying by making the cleaning water to the dandy roll alkaline.
  • the wet strength, in km breaking length, of the paper produced in the tests was measured according to SCAN P 38-80.
  • the wet strength was measured both after storage for two days and nights at room temperature and after this storage and further curing at 105°C for 1 hour and 2 hours respectively.
  • the following tests were carried out on a larger experimental papermaking machine, with a capacity of 0.5 tons per hour, for the production of tissue.
  • the machine had an open white water system and a spray box before the drying cylinder.
  • the pulp was bleached sulphate beaten to 23° SR.
  • the wet strength resin which was used was an epichlorohydrin modified polyamideamine resin which was added in an amount of 1.1 per cent by weight, based on dry pulp. As z-potential regulator towards zero, anionic carboxymethyl cellulose was used. In the tests wherein the pH of the wet web was adjusted this was carried out by spraying with bicarbonate solution.
  • the wet strength of the produced tissue paper, in %, was measured according to SCAN P 58-86. The retention of added wet strength resin was also measured.
