Definitions
- the present invention relates to the manufacture of a sheet of paper, and more particularly to the addition of agents for improving the wet strength.
- Wet strength is not a natural property of paper: untreated paper made from an assembly of cellulose fibers sees its strength decrease by 95% when it is saturated with water. It is however a sought-after property for many types of paper which will come into contact with water during their use, such as paper towels, handkerchiefs, "paper towels", disposable paper products used in hospitals, labels, etc.
- the resistance of the paper is mainly attributed to the hydrogen fiber interfaces. Water destroys most of the hydrogen bonds, which results in a drop in wet strength.
- the improvement of the wet resistance of papers has been carried out according to two approaches. The first is to apply a hydrophobing layer on the surface of the paper which will prevent water from reaching and destroying the hydrogen bonds, which can be achieved, for example, by coating the paper.
- the other approach consists in adding to the pulp, at the headbox, that is to say at a point where the paper machine works in a humid zone, chemical agents capable of protecting the hydrogen bonds and / or creating water resistant connections.
- the present invention relates to the second approach.
- the process according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks: it does not generate AOX, formaldehyde or epichlorohydrin. It consists in successively introducing into the suspension of cellulose fibers entering the headbox a cationic polyelectrolyte carrying a quaternary ammonium group, then an anionic polyelectrolyte carrying sulfonate groups.
- the overall amount of cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes used is between 0.02 and 2.5% by weight, relative to the cellulosic composition, counted by dry weight, entering in the headbox.
- the weight ratios between the cationic agent and the anionic agent are not indifferent.
- wet resistance is a synergistic effect which is only fully manifested for ratios which obviously vary according to the polyelectrolyte systems chosen, even according to the pulp, but which are generally in a range of 0.5 to 10 ; in the case of the preferred system copolymer of acrylamide and acryloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride and the copolymer of acrylamide and 2-acrylamido-
- the cationic polyelectrolytes necessary for the implementation of the invention are copolymers resulting from the copolymerization of n molecules of an uncharged vinyl monomer (A) and of m molecules of a vinyl monomer (B) carrying a group quaternary ammonium, the molar ratio n / m being between 25 and 0.2, preferably between 5 and 0.5, the mass molecular of the copolymer being between 40,000 and 2.10 6 , preferably between 100,000 and 1.10 6 .
- cationic polyelectrolytes can in particular result from the copolymerization of an uncharged monomer (A) consisting of acrylamide or methacrylamide
- -Z- can be -CO-0-R ⁇ -, -CO-NR-R ⁇ -, -CH2 ⁇ .
- R is H- or CH3, where Ri is a C2 to Cn alkyl group , preferably ethylene or propylene, where R2 and R3 are alkyl groups, Ci to C4, preferably methyl, R2 and R3 which may constitute a ring with or without a nitrogenous or oxygenated heteroatom, where R4 is an alkyl group having 1-30 carbon atoms, or - [CH2 ⁇ CH (R) -0] pH [with p taking any statistical value between 1 and 3], or - CH2-CHOH-CH2OH, or -CH2COO, or -CH2-COOR5, R5 y being an alkyl group, Ci to C22 (linear or branched alkyl, saturated or unsaturated or alkylaryl), where X is an anion Cl " , Br " , I " , CH3S04 "
- copolymers of acrylamide and of acryloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride are cationic poly ⁇ electrolytes preferred for the invention. These products are obtained in a manner well known to those skilled in the art (see inter alia F. Mabire, POLYMER, September 1984, vol. 25, or FR 2390983 or US 4319013 or EP 150933).
- the anionic polyelectrolytes carrying sulfonate groups which constitute the other associated chemical means of the invention are copolymers resulting from the copolymerization of m 'molecules of an uncharged vinyl monomer (A') and n 'molecules of a monomer vinyl (B ') carrying a sulfonate group, the m' / n 'molar ratio being between 25 and 0.2, preferably between 5 and 0.5, the molecular weight of the copolymer being between 40,000 and 2.10 6 , preferably between 100,000 and 1.10 6 .
- anionic polyelectrolytes can in particular result from the copolymerization of an uncharged monomer
- AMPS 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate
- B 1 anionic monomer
- R ' is a benzene sulfonate, naphthalene sulfonate, ethylene sulfonate or propene sulfonate residue.
- the monomer (B ') is a styrene sulfonate
- the monomer (A') can simply be styrene
- Preferred copolymers for the invention are copolymers of acrylamide and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate (AMPS).
- the implementation of the invention offers no major difficulty, since it consists simply in the process well known to those skilled in the art skilled in the manufacture of paper, to be added successively to the fibrous composition entering the headbox the cationic agent, then the anionic agent as defined above.
- the formulas were produced on a FRANCK device from a Kraft type chemical paste (ALICEL), unless otherwise indicated.
- the dough is refined to 27 degrees Shopper. (For the Shopper degree, see the book by Pierre Valette and Christian de Choudens: Wood, Pulp, Paper, p.84).
- the pH of the fiber suspension is adjusted to 8.3 with dilute sodium hydroxide.
- the reagents are added to the suspension of cellulose fibers maintained with stirring.
- the contact time between an agent and the fibers is 3 minutes.
- the average grammage obtained is of the order of 80 g / m ⁇ .
- the formulas are conditioned for at least 24 hours in a room thermostatically controlled at 22 ° C with a humidity level of 50% before the tensile tests are carried out.
- the tensile strength tests are carried out in accordance with standard NF Q 03-056. Strips (test pieces) of paper 180 mm long and 15 mm wide are cut from the formettes. The tensile tests are carried out with an ADAMEL Lhomargy device, set to a speed of 50 mm / min. These tensile tests are carried out according to standard NF Q03-056. Unless otherwise indicated, the paper is immersed for one hour in tap water at a constant temperature of 25 ° C. the paper strips are then wrung out according to a rigorous procedure described in the standard. Ten tensile tests are carried out on 10 wet specimens. The tensile strength F is measured in Newtons. The wet break length or LRH is the limit length expressed in meters beyond which a paper strip of any width suspended by a extremity breaks under the action of its own weight. The LRH is calculated in meters from the expression:
- This value is a characteristic of paper. To characterize an additive, you need a relative characteristic. We chose it, not compared to a paper obtained without additives, because the L.R.H. is in this case, both too weak and very poorly reproducible. It is evaluated with respect to the standard which corresponds to the addition of 1% of active material with respect to the fiber in PAE.
- the PAE used is a commercial product (R4944 from CECA S.A.) formulated at 12.5% in active ingredient. With the conditions defined above, we measure when using PAE at 1% in M.. (i.e. around 8% in commercial solution) a wet breaking length L.R.H of the order of 600 m.
- PRH (%) L.R.H. / L.R.H. (PAE 1%)
- PRH of 100% corresponds to the performance of the PAE at 1% in MA This is an ordinary result, but obtained with a polluting product. PRH> 50% are already considered acceptable, provided that they are obtained with clean products; 85% of HRPs are regarded as very interesting. The results are given at more or less 10%.
- a cationic acrylic copolymer composed of acrylamide (54% by moles, or approximately 30% by weight) and chloride of acryloxyethyltrimethylammonium (46 mol%, or approximately 70% by weight) of high molecular mass (Mw greater than 500,000).
- the untreated paper has a PRH of the order of 10%.
- Example 2 The same procedure and the same products are used as in Example 1.
- the cationic copolymer is added at 1% of active material relative to the fiber.
- the sulfonated anionic copolymer is then added at different dosages.
- the results are collated in the following table. The results corresponding to Example 1 and Example 3 were recalled there.
- the example illustrates the fact that, for given conditions (type of paste, pH, etc.), there is an optimum of the concentrations of the two products to be used, in the present case, between 1/0, 6 and 1/1 , with a fairly pronounced maximum around 1 / 0.8.
- An overdose of anionic agent reduces the gain in wet strength.
- Example 7 (acrylamide-acryloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride copolymer system / styrene-sulfonate-maleic anhydride copolymer)
- Example 8 (acrylamide-acryloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride / polystyrenesulfonate copolymer system)
- Example 9 (against example: acrylamide-acryloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride / polyacrylate copolymer system) To the suspension of cellulose fibers with stirring is added 1% by weight of active material relative to the dry fiber of a cationic acrylic copolymer composed of acrylamide (54% by moles) and of acryloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride (46% in moles) of high molecular mass (Mw greater than 500,000).
- a cationic acrylic copolymer composed of acrylamide (54% by moles) and of acryloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride (46% in moles) of high molecular mass (Mw greater than 500,000).
