Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fabric for a paper making machine and to a method of manufacturing paper involving the use of such a fabric.
  • the invention relates to fibres and fabric for use in press felts to be employed in a high temperature environment.
  • EP-A-287 297 discloses a felt for use in a paper making machine comprising a woven base and a layer of batt fibre needled thereto; the batt fibre comprises fibres of polyamide 12.
  • Typical fibres are materials from the generic classes of polyaramids, polybenzimidazoles, polyetherimides, polysulfones, polyphenylene sulfide, and polyarylates. While all these materials have high temperature use capabilities, most do not possess adequate physical properties to be useful for press fabric applications. Many materials such as polysulfones and polyetherimides are non-crystalline materials which tend to deform under load at temperatures above their glass transition and suffer irreversible deformation upon repeated passage through a press nip. Other materials such as the polyaramids, polybenzimidazoles and polyarylates are semi-crystalline polymers, but are, in general, highly aromatic rigid materials which suffer brittle fracture in a press nip after a relatively few compression cycles.
  • EP-A-077 901 discloses an industrial fabric of woven monofilament threads and, in particular, a dryer fabric for a paper making machine comprising interwoven machine direction and cross-machine direction threads formed from a melt extrudable polyaryletherketone.
  • polyetherketones while being semi-crystalline and highly aromatic do not show brittle fracture at ambient or at elevated temperatures, when produced to have a specific fibre morphology.
  • a fabric for a paper making machine which fabric comprises a woven, knitted, braided or nonwoven substrate carrying batt fibre on the surface thereof, characterised in that at least the batt fibre comprises polyetherketone fibres.
  • the present invention also includes a method of manufacturing paper which method comprises forming a furnish of paper making constituents, introducing said furnish as a layer to a dewatering station to dewater said furnish to produce a cohesive sheet and thereafter pressing at an elevated temperature, wherein the paper is transported by continuous fabrics, and wherein the pressing and drying of the sheet in at least part of the process is conducted at a temperature in excess of 150°C, characterised in that the fabric,in at least said part of the process, is as specified above.
  • the present invention further provides the use of a fabric as specified above in a paper making machine.
  • the polyetherketone is selected from one or more of polyetherketone (PEK), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) and polyetheretherketoneketone (PEEKK).
  • PEK polyetherketone
  • PEEK polyetheretherketone
  • PEKK polyetherketoneketone
  • PEEKK polyetheretherketoneketone
  • the polyetherketone may include an effective proportion of an anti-oxidant therefor.
  • Fibres used in the invention may be made from commercially available polyetherketones such as those commercially available under the registered trade mark "VICTREX, namely, “VICTREX PEK” or “VICTREX PEEK” both of which are currently commerically available from ICI Limited and are intended principally as injection molding materials, but they can be extruded into fine fibre or monofilament.
  • polyetherketones maintain a relatively cooler fabric surface temperature after passage through a heated press environment than other materials evaluated and may at the same time provide an enhanced sheet release characteristic.
  • higher fabric temperatures near the sticking point of lignin
  • cooler press fabric surfaces promote ease of sheet release.
  • the sheet contacting surface may comprise a polyetherketone which in use on a press exhibits a post-nip surface temperature of at least 15 centigrade degrees below that of a comparable fabric having a sheet contacting surface of poly-tetrafluorethylene when the latter is run under identical press conditions.
  • the polymer molecular weight is high and it has been found that the optimum properties in both the maintenance of molecular weight during extrusion and subsequent use is obtained if a proportion of anti-oxidant is compounded with the resin prior to extrusion.
  • Typical antioxidants suitable for use in the present invention are phenolic antioxidants and/or those based on ⁇ -tocopherol.
  • the fibre morphology for PEEK fibres for the Impulse Drying process requires a moderately drawn fibre with moderate orientation and crystallinity, and should not be at the extremes of low or high orientation and crystallinity, thus providing superior mechanical properties for Impulse Drying. Fibres with either low or high orientation and cystallinity result in more rapid and undesirable mechanical failure, such as flattening and fibrillation.
  • the orientation and the crystallinity should he selected to be within 30% to 75%, preferably 40% to 70% of the range between the low and high extremes of each of these properties.
  • the crystallinity of the polyetherketone fibres is within the range of 50 to 65% of the extremes of crystallinity for that particular polyetherketone employed.
  • the polyetherketone fibres may be PEEK fibresand may have a shrink force at 150°C not greater than 0.176 dN/tex (0.20 gpd).
  • polyetherketone fibres may be employed which have at least one yield point below 2.648 dN/tex ( 3.0 gpd).
  • Figure 1 is a photomicrograph of a sample PEEK-h of Example II.
  • Figure 2 is a photomicrograph of a sample PEEK-a of Example II.
  • Figure 3 is a plot of shrink force against temperatures for samples of Example II.
  • Figure 4 is a plot of applied stress against % elongation for samples of Example II.
  • a polyetheretherketone resin commercially available from ICI under the name Victrex PEEK 380G and hereinafter referred to as PEEK-a was extruded and drawn into approximately 19 dtex (17 denier) per filament multifilament yarn in a standard melt extrusion spinning operation.
  • the fibre produced had moderate orientation and moderate crystallinity.
  • the fibre was crimped and cut into 7.6 cm (3 inch) staple.
  • Fibre properties obtained were 2.74 dN/tex (3.1 g/den) tenacity, 31% elongation to break and 22.95 dN/tex (26 g/den) initial modulus. This fibre was carded into a web and needled onto the top surface of a pre-made press fabric.
  • the press fabric was run on a pilot machine press section to assess fibre performance.
  • card web samples of conventional polyamide fibres normally used in PMC applications and samples of representative high temperature fibres such as PBI polybenzimidazole, RYTON* polyphenylene sulfide, NOMEX* polyamide and KEVLAR* polyaramide were needled onto the same pilot fabric.
  • the fabric was run at the following conditions: Speed 1000 m/min Linear pressure 100 kN/m Felt tension 3 kN/m Suction vacuum 40 kPa Water temperature 60-65°C Total No. of compressions 106 Total running time 265 hr * registered trade marks
  • PEEK-a was a crimped fibre of 15dtex in 80mm staple length manufactured by Hoechst Aktiengesellschaft. Both PEEK-a and PEEK-h were of equivalent molecular weight but different in fibre morphology.
  • a layer of each PEEK fibre sample was needled onto the surface of the pilot press fabric in separate areas.
  • the fabric was run on a pilot press machine at the following wet pressing conditions: Machine speed: 1000 m/min Linear Pressure: 100kN/m Fabric Tension: 3 kN/m Suction Vacuum: 40 kPa Water spray Temp: 64-72°C Total No. of Compressions: 1,000,000
  • Figure 1 is a photomicrograph of PEEK-h; it can be seen that the fibres have undergone extensive flattening and fibrillation, as a result the dewatering ability of this sample is severely impaired.
  • Figure 2 the sample of PEEK-a shown in Figure 2 after 106 compressions, is in a much superior condition; although the fibres have undergone some flattening, the integrity of the fibres remains and the dewatering characteristics of the structure remain intact.
  • Shrink force data further corroborates higher orientation and crystallinity in PEEK-h fibre.
  • the shrink force values thoughout the test are consistently greater for PEEK-h fibre than for PEEK-a fibre.
  • Shrink force data at 80°C and 150°C are shown. The 80°C represents the water temperature used with current wet pressing technology while the 150°C temperature represents a typical Impulse Drying temperature.
  • Sample IV DSC (1st cycle) DMA Shrink Force ENDO Tm ENDO Peak Area Tm Tan Delta Max Temp. Tan Delta Max Value E' Value at Tan Delta Max Temps.
  • Figure 3 is a plot of shrink force measured in grammes per denier (gpd) as ordinate against temperature in °C as abscissa. The less oriented nature of the sample PEEK-a can be discerned clearly which compared with PEEK-h by the lower shrink force curve.
  • a needled nonwoven fabric was prepared by needling together successive card web layers of the same PEEK fibre as described in Example I. Each batt of approximately 120 gm/m weight was crosslapped at a 90° angle prior to needling. The total fabric product consisted of eight batt layers and was approximately 1000 gm/m in weight.
  • An identical fabric was prepared from commercial polyamide 6,6 fibre typical of that used for commercial paper machine clothing fabrics. Each fabric was used in an experiment to dewater a 25% solids paper sheet in an Impulse Drying apparatus similar to that described by Lavery, H.P. in CPAA Annual Meeting preprints, 73B: 121-126 (Jan 29, 1987). The PEEK sample successfully removed water from the paper to high levels of dryness without suffering apparent physical damage.
  • the polyamide sample in the same test fused to an impermeable mass during the initial impact.
  • the temperature of the falling plate was maintained at 300°C, peak pressure was 4138 kPa (600 psi) and equivalent nip residence time was 4.5 ms.
  • PEEK-i A sample of another PEEK fibre, spun from a commercially available resin, was evaluated on a pilot Impulse Drying machine.
  • This PEEK fibre designated PEEK-i is produced by ICI under the trade name ZYEX with a 13.3 dtex and 80 mm fibre length, and was spun to a similar fibre morphology as PEEK-a (moderate orientation and crystallinity).
  • the PEEK-i was part of a multi-candidate pilot fabric evaluation.
  • press roll temperatures as high as 205°C were tried. At this temperature, PEEK-i sample had excellent temperature resistance and sheet handling ability with acceptable dewatering performance.
  • Fibre U13 aromatic aliphatic polyamide resin which was spun into a fibre sample called Fibre U13 which is a fibre spun (at AIRESCO) from BASF ULTRAMID* T resin Grade KR4351, and a metaphenylene isothalamid called BXC.
  • PEEK-i, U13 and BXC were all high temperature materials, Fibres U13 and BXC had poor sheet handling properties. Fibres U13 and BXC surfaces were extremely tacky and did not release the paper sheet after passing through the heated press nip. PEEK-i had excellent sheet release properties.
  • PEEK-i sample was evaluated on another Impulse Drying pilot paper machine which includes a heated long nip press.
  • the PEEK-i fibre was prepared into a pilot size needled fabric and evaluated on the pilot machine at roll temperatures as high as 202°C, machine speeds as high as 10.16 m/s (2000 fpm) and roll pressures as high as 1172.50 kN/m (6700 pli).
  • roll temperatures as high as 202°C
  • machine speeds as high as 10.16 m/s (2000 fpm)
  • roll pressures as high as 1172.50 kN/m (6700 pli).
  • the surface temperature of the fabric which was measured throughout the trial remained relatively low. We believe maintenance of a low fabric surface temperature is critical for good sheet release.
