Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the mass sizing of paper, cardboard and cardboard using resin glue and cationic polymers which contain copolymerized vinylamine units as fixing agents.
- N-vinylformamide contains N-vinylformamide and vinylamine units. They are used as retention, drainage and flocculants in the manufacture of paper.
- DE-A-32 03 189 sizing agents based on hydrophobic, cellulose-reactive sizing agents and fixing and sizing accelerating agents made of polymers which contain primary, secondary or tertiary amino and / or quaternary ammonium groups bound directly or via side chains.
- These cationic polymers also include hydrolyzed polymers of N-vinylformamide and partially hydrolyzed copolymers of N-vinyl acetamide and vinyl acetate.
- hydrophobic, cellulose-reactive sizing agents are preferably alkyl ketene dimers, anhydrides, such as rosin anhydride and isocyanates.
- the best-known bulk glue based on natural products is resin glue. These are compounds which are non-reactive with the cellulose fiber and which are deposited on the cellulose fibers in the paper stock with the addition of fixing agents. Suitable fixing agents are, for example, aluminum sulfate or, according to DE-B-10 70 916 and EP-B 0 187 666, cationic dicyandiamide resins. While the effectiveness of the cationic dicyandiamide resins is still in need of improvement, aluminum sulfate and alum have the disadvantage that they do not work with calcium carbonate as a filler in their presence can and that the papers available in this way are not sufficiently resistant to aging because of working in the acidic pH range.
- the present invention is based on the object of demonstrating a process for mass sizing paper, cardboard and cardboard with resin glue, in which the sizing can be carried out in the neutral pH range and in which aging-resistant papers are obtained.
- the object is achieved according to the invention with a process for the mass sizing of paper, cardboard and cardboard using resin glue and a fixing agent for fixing the resin glue on the cellulose fibers if cationic polymers are used as the fixing agent which contain copolymerized vinylamine units.
- resin glue is understood to mean the products based on natural materials that are usually used for the mass sizing of paper, e.g. Resin glue from hydrogenated rosin, tall resin glue, reinforced resin glue, dry resin glue or free resin-rich emulsions. These products are non-reactive resin glues which, when used alone in the bulk of paper, practically do not glue, but always have to be used together with a fixing agent. Suitable resin glues are described, for example, in the magazine “Papier", volume 43 (5), 188-192 (1989). As with known processes for the mass sizing of paper, resin glue is also used in the present process in an amount of approximately 1 to 4, preferably 1.5 to 3% by weight, based in each case on dry paper stock.
- paper is sized by mass in the presence of small amounts of aluminum sulfate and / or alum using cationic polymers which contain copolymerized vinylamine units.
- Aluminum sulfate and alum are used in amounts of ⁇ 5% by weight, preferably 2 to 3% by weight, as a precipitant for resin glue.
- the cationic polymers surprisingly act as fixatives for non-reactive resin glue.
- Polymers of this type are known, for example, from the literature references US-A-4 421 602 and EP-A-0 216 387 mentioned in the prior art. They are prepared by hydrolysis of homopolymers and copolymers containing copolymerized N-vinylamides.
- N-vinylformamide, N-vinylacetamide, N-vinyl-N-methylformamide, N-vinylpropionamide or N-vinylbutyramide are polymerized.
- the monomer of component (a) can be e.g. Use N-vinyl-N-methylformamide, N-vinylacetamide, N-vinyl-N-methylacetamide, N-vinylpropionamide or N-vinylbutyramide.
- the copolymerized monomer units (b) can also be hydrolyzed, so that in the case of the latter comonomers, the copolymers are then additionally, e.g. Polymerized vinyl alcohol units included.
- the hydrolysis of the acetyl and / or propionyl groups from the copolymerized units (b) of the copolymers can be 0.1 to 100%.
- the homopolymers and copolymers containing copolymerized vinylamine units have K values of 5 to 300, preferably 15 to 150.
- Polyvinylamines and hydrolyzed copolymers of N-vinylformamide with K values of 20 to 115 are particularly preferred.
- the cationic polymers containing copolymerized vinylamine units are water-soluble. They are added directly to the paper stock for mass sizing or can also be added to the paper stock in the form of a mixture with the resin glue. In the case of a separate metering of polymer and resin glue, it makes no difference whether the resin glue is added to the paper stock first or the cationic polymer because the components always mix sufficiently in the paper stock. Based on 100 parts by weight of resin glue, 1 to 100, preferably 5 to 30 parts by weight of at least one cationic polymer which contains vinylamine units in copolymerized form are used.
- pulps for the production of the pulps for example wood pulp, bleached and unbleached cellulose and pulps from all annual plants.
- wood pulp includes wood pulp, thermomechanical material (TMP), chemo-thermomechanical material (CTMP), pressure sanding, semi-pulp, high-yield pulp and refiner mechanical pulp (RMP).
- TMP thermomechanical material
- CMP chemo-thermomechanical material
- RMP refiner mechanical pulp
- pulp sulfate, sulfite and sodium pulps come into consideration.
- the unbleached pulps which are also referred to as unbleached kraft pulp, are preferably used.
- Suitable annual plants for the production of paper materials are, for example, rice, wheat, sugar cane and kenaf.
- Waste paper is also used to produce the pulps, either alone or in a mixture with other fibrous materials.
- the pulps are mixed with resin glue and at least one polymer to be used according to the invention as a fixing agent and dewatered in a known manner on a sieve of a paper machine.
- the pulp concentration is 0.1 to 1.5% by weight, the pulp pH up to 8. Pulps with a pH of 6 to 7.5 are preferred.
- the parts given in the examples are parts by weight. The percentages relate to the weight of the fabrics.
- the K values were determined according to H. Fikentscher, Cellulose-Chemie, Vol. 18, 48-64 and 71-74 (1932) in 5% aqueous saline solution at a temperature of 25 ° C. and a polymer concentration of 1% by weight .
- the sizing quality was determined with the aid of the Cobb value according to DIN 53 132 and the ink floating time up to a 50% breakthrough.
- the preparation image was also determined to characterize the sizing. For this purpose, a paper strip (80 cm x 10 cm) is drawn through a laboratory size press with a constant contact pressure and a speed of 10 m / min. Drinking water is used as the test liquid.
- the preparation uptake is calculated from the weight gain as follows: The following ingredients were used:
- 50% low-viscosity resin soap made from chemically reinforced natural resins with a total resin acid number of 170, a free resin content of approx. 2% and a Brookfield viscosity at 20 ° C and 20 rpm of 1000 mPas.
- a paper fabric is made from 100% bleached birch sulfate pulp with the addition of 40% chalk.

- Example 1 was repeated with the only exception that instead of 0.1% by weight of fixative 1, only 3% by weight of alum was used as fixative and precipitant.
- the pH of the pulp was 7.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Masseleimung von Papier, Pappe und Karton unter Verwendung von Harzleim und kationischen Polymerisaten, die Vinylamineinheiten einpolymerisiert enthalten, als Fixiermittel.The invention relates to a process for the mass sizing of paper, cardboard and cardboard using resin glue and cationic polymers which contain copolymerized vinylamine units as fixing agents.
Aus der US-A-4 421 602 sind partiell hydrolysierte Homopolymerisate des N-Vinylformamids bekannt, die N-Vinylformamid- und Vinylamineinheiten enthalten. Sie werden als Retentions-, Entwässerungs- und Flockungsmittel bei der Herstellung von Papier verwendet.From US-A-4 421 602 partially hydrolyzed homopolymers of N-vinylformamide are known which contain N-vinylformamide and vinylamine units. They are used as retention, drainage and flocculants in the manufacture of paper.
Aus der EP-A-0 216 387 ist bekannt, daß man Copolymerisate aus 95 bis 10 mol-% N-Vinylformamid und 5 bis 90 mol-% eines ethylenisch ungesättigten Monomeren aus der Gruppe Vinylacetat, Vinylpropionat, der C₁- bis C₄-Alkylvinylether, N-Vinylpyrrolidon, der Ester, Nitrile und Amide von Acrylsäure und Methacrylsäure in zumindest partiell hydrolysierter Form, bei der bis zu 100 mol-% der Formylgruppen aus dem Copolymerisat abgespalten sind, in Mengen von 0,1 bis 5 Gew.-%, bezogen auf trockene Fasern, dem Papierstoff vor der Blattbildung als Naß- und Trockenverfestigungsmittel für Papier zusetzt.From EP-A-0 216 387 it is known that copolymers of 95 to 10 mol% of N-vinylformamide and 5 to 90 mol% of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer from the group vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, the C₁ to C₄ alkyl vinyl ether , N-vinylpyrrolidone, the esters, nitriles and amides of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid in at least partially hydrolyzed form, in which up to 100 mol% of the formyl groups are split off from the copolymer, in amounts of 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on dry fibers, the paper stock before the sheet formation as a wet and dry strength agent for paper.
Aus der DE-A-32 03 189 sind Leimungsmittel auf Basis hydrophober, cellulosereaktiver Leimungsstoffe und Fixier- und Leimungsbeschleunigungsmitteln aus Polymeren bekannt, die primäre, sekundäre oder tertiäre Amino- und/oder quartäre Ammoniumgruppen direkt oder über Seitenketten gebunden enthalten. Zu diesen kationischen Polymerisaten gehören auch hydrolysierte Polymerisate des N-Vinylformamids und partiell hydrolysierte Copolymerisate aus N-Vinylacetamid und Vinylacetat. Gemäß den Angaben in der DE-OS sind hydrophobe, cellulosereaktive Leimungsstoffe vorzugsweise Alkylketendimere, Anhydride, wie Kolophoniumanhydrid und Isocyanate.DE-A-32 03 189 sizing agents based on hydrophobic, cellulose-reactive sizing agents and fixing and sizing accelerating agents made of polymers are known which contain primary, secondary or tertiary amino and / or quaternary ammonium groups bound directly or via side chains. These cationic polymers also include hydrolyzed polymers of N-vinylformamide and partially hydrolyzed copolymers of N-vinyl acetamide and vinyl acetate. According to the information in DE-OS, hydrophobic, cellulose-reactive sizing agents are preferably alkyl ketene dimers, anhydrides, such as rosin anhydride and isocyanates.
Das bekannteste Masseleimungsmittel auf Basis von Naturprodukten ist der Harzleim. Hierbei handelt es sich um Verbindungen, die gegenüber der Cellulosefaser nicht-reaktiv sind und die unter Zusatz von Fixiermitteln auf den Cellulosefasern im Papierstoff niedergeschlagen werden. Als Fixiermittel kommen beispielsweise Aluminiumsulfat oder gemäß der DE-B-10 70 916 und der EP-B 0 187 666 kationische Dicyandiamidharze in Betracht. Während die Wirksamkeit der kationischen Dicyandiamidharze noch verbesserungsbedürftig ist, haben Aluminiumsulfat und Alaun den Nachteil, daß in ihrer Gegenwart nicht mit Calciumcarbonat als Füllstoff gearbeitet werden kann und daß die so erhältlichen Papiere wegen des Arbeitens im sauren pH-Bereich nicht ausreichend alterungsbeständig sind.The best-known bulk glue based on natural products is resin glue. These are compounds which are non-reactive with the cellulose fiber and which are deposited on the cellulose fibers in the paper stock with the addition of fixing agents. Suitable fixing agents are, for example, aluminum sulfate or, according to DE-B-10 70 916 and EP-B 0 187 666, cationic dicyandiamide resins. While the effectiveness of the cationic dicyandiamide resins is still in need of improvement, aluminum sulfate and alum have the disadvantage that they do not work with calcium carbonate as a filler in their presence can and that the papers available in this way are not sufficiently resistant to aging because of working in the acidic pH range.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Masseleimung von Papier, Pappe und Karton mit Harzleim aufzuzeigen, bei dem die Leimung im neutralen pH-Bereich durchführbar ist und bei dem man alterungsbeständige Papiere erhält.The present invention is based on the object of demonstrating a process for mass sizing paper, cardboard and cardboard with resin glue, in which the sizing can be carried out in the neutral pH range and in which aging-resistant papers are obtained.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst mit einem Verfahren zur Masseleimung von Papier, Pappe und Karton unter Verwendung von Harzleim und eines Fixiermittels zum Fixieren des Harzleims auf den Cellulosefasern, wenn man als Fixiermittel kationische Polymerisate einsetzt, die Vinylamineinheiten einpolymerisiert enthalten.The object is achieved according to the invention with a process for the mass sizing of paper, cardboard and cardboard using resin glue and a fixing agent for fixing the resin glue on the cellulose fibers if cationic polymers are used as the fixing agent which contain copolymerized vinylamine units.
Unter Harzleim werden im vorliegenden Zusammenhang die üblicherweise zur Masseleimung von Papier verwendeten Produkte auf Basis von Naturstoffen verstanden, z.B. Harzleime aus hydriertem Kolophonium, Tallharzleime, verstärkte Harzleime, Trockenharzleime oder freiharzreiche Emulsionen. Bei diesen Produkten handelt es sich um nicht-reaktive Harzleime, die bei alleiniger Anwendung in der Masse Papier praktisch nicht leimen, sondern immer zusammen mit einem Fixiermittel eingesetzt werden müssen. Geeignete Harzleime sind beispielsweise in der Zeitschrift "Papier", Band 43 (5), 188-192 (1989) beschrieben. Wie bei bekannten Verfahren zur Masseleimung von Papier wird auch beim vorliegenden Verfahren Harzleim in einer Menge von ca. 1 bis 4, vorzugsweise 1,5 bis 3 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf trockenen Papierstoff angewendet.In the present context, resin glue is understood to mean the products based on natural materials that are usually used for the mass sizing of paper, e.g. Resin glue from hydrogenated rosin, tall resin glue, reinforced resin glue, dry resin glue or free resin-rich emulsions. These products are non-reactive resin glues which, when used alone in the bulk of paper, practically do not glue, but always have to be used together with a fixing agent. Suitable resin glues are described, for example, in the magazine "Papier", volume 43 (5), 188-192 (1989). As with known processes for the mass sizing of paper, resin glue is also used in the present process in an amount of approximately 1 to 4, preferably 1.5 to 3% by weight, based in each case on dry paper stock.
Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Masseleimung von Papier in Anwesenheit von geringen Mengen Aluminiumsulfat und/oder Alaun unter Verwendung von kationischen Polymerisaten, die Vinylamineinheiten einpolymerisiert enthalten. Aluminiumsulfat und Alaun werden in Mengen < 5 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 2 bis 3 Gew.-% als Fällungsmittel für Harzleim verwendet. Die kationischen Polymerisate wirken überraschenderweise als Fixiermittel für nicht-reaktiven Harzleim. Polymerisate dieser Art sind beispielsweise aus den zum Stand der Technik genannten Literaturstellen US-A-4 421 602 und der EP-A-0 216 387 bekannt. Sie werden durch Hydrolyse von N-Vinylamide einpolymerisiert enthaltenden Homo- und Copolymerisaten hergestellt.According to the invention, paper is sized by mass in the presence of small amounts of aluminum sulfate and / or alum using cationic polymers which contain copolymerized vinylamine units. Aluminum sulfate and alum are used in amounts of <5% by weight, preferably 2 to 3% by weight, as a precipitant for resin glue. The cationic polymers surprisingly act as fixatives for non-reactive resin glue. Polymers of this type are known, for example, from the literature references US-A-4 421 602 and EP-A-0 216 387 mentioned in the prior art. They are prepared by hydrolysis of homopolymers and copolymers containing copolymerized N-vinylamides.
Solche Polymerisate enthalten folgende charakteristische Strukturen:
in der R, R¹ = H, C₁- bis C₆-Alkyl bedeuten.Such polymers contain the following characteristic structures:
in which R, R¹ = H, C₁- to C₆-alkyl mean.
Zur Herstellung von Verbindungen, die ausschließlich Struktureinheiten der Formel I enthalten, polymerisiert man z.B. N-Vinylformamid, N-Vinylacetamid, N-Vinyl-N-methylformamid, N-Vinylpropionamid oder N-Vinylbutyramid. Aus den Verbindungen mit Strukturelementen der Formel I entsteht durch Hydrolyse unter Verwendung von Säuren, z.B. Salzsäure, Schwefelsäure, Phosphorsäure oder unter Einwirkung von Basen, wie Natronlauge oder Kalilauge, unter Abspaltung der Gruppierung -CO-R¹ die Struktur:
in der R = H, C₁- bis C₆-Alkyl bedeutet.For the preparation of compounds which contain only structural units of the formula I, for example, N-vinylformamide, N-vinylacetamide, N-vinyl-N-methylformamide, N-vinylpropionamide or N-vinylbutyramide are polymerized. From the compounds with structural elements of the formula I, the structure is formed by hydrolysis using acids, for example hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or under the action of bases, such as sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution, with the grouping -CO-R 1 being split off:
in which R = H, C₁ to C₆ alkyl.
Bei einer 100 %igen Hydrolyse sämtlicher Einheiten der Struktur I im Polymerisat erhält man Polyvinylamine. Sofern nur eine partielle Hydrolyse durchgeführt wird, enthalten die aus den N-Vinylamiden hergestellten Polymerisate Einheiten der Strukturen I und II. Vorzugsweise wird als N-Vinylamid die Verbindung der Formel
eingesetzt, d.h. N-Vinylformamid. Partiell hydrolysierte Homopolymerisate der Verbindung III sind aus der obengenannten US-A-4 421 602 bekannt. Die Hydrolyse kann 0,1 bis 100 % betragen. Zu den bevorzugt in Betracht kommenden, Vinylamineinheiten einpolymerisiert enthaltenden Polymerisaten gehören Verbindungen, die durch Copolymerisieren von
- (a) 1 bis 99, vorzugsweise 10 bis 90 mol-% N-Vinylformamid und
- (b) 99 bis 1 mol-% monoethylenisch ungesättigten Monomeren aus der Gruppe Vinylacetat, Vinylpropionat, der C₁- bis C₄-Alkylvinylether, N-Vinylpyrrolidon, der Ester, Nitrile, Amide, N-Alkylamide und Sulfogruppen tragenden N-Alkylamide der Acrylsäure und Methacrylsäure und Mischungen dieser Monomeren
used, ie N-vinylformamide. Partially hydrolyzed homopolymers of the compound III are known from the above-mentioned US Pat. No. 4,421,602. The hydrolysis can be 0.1 to 100%. The preferred polymers containing copolymerized vinylamine units include compounds which are obtained by copolymerizing
- (a) 1 to 99, preferably 10 to 90 mol% of N-vinylformamide and
- (b) 99 to 1 mol% of monoethylenically unsaturated monomers from the group vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, the C₁ to C₄ alkyl vinyl ether, N-vinylpyrrolidone, the esters, nitriles, amides, N-alkylamides and sulfo groups-bearing N-alkylamides of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid and mixtures of these monomers
Solche Copolymerisate werden in der EP-A-0 216 387 beschrieben. Außer N-Vinylformamid kann man als Monomer der Komponente (a) z.B. N-Vinyl-N-methylformamid, N-Vinylacetamid, N-Vinyl-N-methylacetamid, N-Vinylpropionamid oder N-Vinylbutyramid einsetzen. Bei der Hydrolyse von Copolymerisaten aus N-Vinylformamid und Vinylacetat oder Vinylpropionat können, je nach Reaktionsbedingungen, auch noch die einpolymerisierten Monomereinheiten (b) hydrolysiert werden, so daß die Copolymerisate dann im Fall der zuletztgenannten Comonomeren zusätzlich, z.B. Vinylalkohol-Einheiten einpolymerisiert enthalten. Die Hydrolyse der Acetyl- und/oder Propionylgruppen aus den einpolymerisierten Einheiten (b) der Copolymerisate kann 0,1 bis 100 % betragen.Such copolymers are described in EP-A-0 216 387. In addition to N-vinylformamide, the monomer of component (a) can be e.g. Use N-vinyl-N-methylformamide, N-vinylacetamide, N-vinyl-N-methylacetamide, N-vinylpropionamide or N-vinylbutyramide. In the hydrolysis of copolymers of N-vinylformamide and vinyl acetate or vinyl propionate, depending on the reaction conditions, the copolymerized monomer units (b) can also be hydrolyzed, so that in the case of the latter comonomers, the copolymers are then additionally, e.g. Polymerized vinyl alcohol units included. The hydrolysis of the acetyl and / or propionyl groups from the copolymerized units (b) of the copolymers can be 0.1 to 100%.
Die Vinylamineinheiten einpolymerisiert enthaltenden Homo- und Copolymerisate haben K-Werte von 5 bis 300, vorzugsweise 15 bis 150. Besonders bevorzugt sind Polyvinylamine und hydrolysierte Copolymerisate des N-Vinylformamids mit K-Werten von 20 bis 115.The homopolymers and copolymers containing copolymerized vinylamine units have K values of 5 to 300, preferably 15 to 150. Polyvinylamines and hydrolyzed copolymers of N-vinylformamide with K values of 20 to 115 are particularly preferred.
Die kationischen, Vinylamineinheiten einpolymerisiert enthaltenden Polymerisate sind wasserlöslich. Sie werden zur Masseleimung dem Papierstoff direkt zugesetzt oder können auch in Form einer Mischung mit dem Harzleim dem Papierstoff zugefügt werden. Im Fall einer getrennten Dosierung von Polymerisat und Harzleim ist es gleichgültig, ob der Harzleim zuerst zum Papierstoff zugefügt wird oder das kationische Polymerisat, weil im Papierstoff immer eine ausreichende Durchmischung der Komponenten stattfindet. Bezogen auf 100 Gew.-Teile Harzleim verwendet man 1 bis 100, vorzugsweise 5 bis 30 Gew.-Teile mindestens eines kationischen Polymerisats, das Vinylamineinheiten einpolymerisiert enthält.The cationic polymers containing copolymerized vinylamine units are water-soluble. They are added directly to the paper stock for mass sizing or can also be added to the paper stock in the form of a mixture with the resin glue. In the case of a separate metering of polymer and resin glue, it makes no difference whether the resin glue is added to the paper stock first or the cationic polymer because the components always mix sufficiently in the paper stock. Based on 100 parts by weight of resin glue, 1 to 100, preferably 5 to 30 parts by weight of at least one cationic polymer which contains vinylamine units in copolymerized form are used.

Man stellt einen Papierstoff aus 100 % gebleichtem Birkensulfatzellstoff unter Zusatz von 40 % Kreide her. Der Mahlgrad beträgt 35°SR (Schopper-Riegler). Zu diesem Stoff gibt man, bezogen auf den Feststoffgehalt, 1,5 Gew.-% des Leimungsmittels, 3 Gew.-% Alaun und anschließend 0,1 Gew.-%, bezogen auf Feststoff, eines der in Tabellen 1 und 2 genannten Fixiermittel. Der pH-Wert des Stoffes bleibt dabei unverändert auf pH 7 eingestellt. Bei allen Beispielen fügte man zum Papierstoff zusätzlich noch 0,3 % eines handelsüblichen schwach-kationischen Polyacrylamids vom K-Wert 130 als Retentionsmittel zu und bildete danach auf einem Rapid-Köthen-Blattbildner Blätter eines Flächengewichts von 100 g/m². Die Blätter wurden jeweils auf einem mit Dampf beheizten Trockenzylinder bei 90°C bis zu einer Restfeuchte von 6 bis 10 % getrocknet.A paper fabric is made from 100% bleached birch sulfate pulp with the addition of 40% chalk. The degree of grinding is 35 ° SR (Schopper-Riegler). To this substance, based on the solids content, 1.5% by weight of the sizing agent, 3% by weight of alum and then 0.1% by weight, based on the solid, of one of the fixing agents mentioned in Tables 1 and 2 are added . The pH of the substance remains unchanged at pH 7. In all examples, 0.3% of a commercially available weakly cationic polyacrylamide with a K value of 130 was added to the paper stock as a retention agent and sheets were then formed on a Rapid-Köthen sheet former with a basis weight of 100 g / m 2. The leaves were each dried on a steam-heated drying cylinder at 90 ° C. to a residual moisture of 6 to 10%.
Bei allen Beispielen wurde unmittelbar nach dem Trocknen die Präparationsaufnahme, der Cobb-Wert und die Tintenschwimmzeit bestimmt. Diese Ergebnisse sind in Tabelle 1 zusammengestellt. Die Blätter wurden dann einen Tag bei 23°C und einer relativen Luftfeuchte von 50 % gelagert. Danach bestimmte man die Präparationsaufnahme, den Cobb-Wert und die Tintenschwimmzeit. Die dabei erhaltenen Meßergebnisse sind in Tabelle 2 angegeben.In all examples, the preparation uptake, the Cobb value and the ink floating time were determined immediately after drying. These results are summarized in Table 1. The leaves were then stored for one day at 23 ° C and 50% relative humidity. The preparation uptake, the Cobb value and the ink floating time were then determined. The measurement results obtained are given in Table 2.
Beispiel 1 wurde mit der einzigen Ausnahme wiederholt, daß man an Stelle von 0,1 Gew.-% des Fixiermittels 1 nur 3 Gew.-% Alaun als Fixier- und Fällungsmittel verwendete. Der pH-Wert der Pulpe betrug 7. Die hierbei erhaltenen Ergebnisse sind in den Tabellen 1 und 2 angegeben.
