Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved layered aramid paper having a smooth surface and good tensile and tear strengths.
- the smooth surface provides for better print clarity and makes such papers particularly useful for high temperature label applications.
- Prior art techniques that improve on surface smoothness often lead to a reduced level of mechanical strength and/or thermal stability.
- synthetic papers which have been pressed or calendered at high temperature and pressure will generally have fibers on the surface which cause roughness or snagging when the surface of the paper is worked during end use processing.
- This invention provides a multi-layered, smooth surface aramid paper containing from 40 to 55% by weight of fibrids and comprising a substrate layer which consists essentially of aramid fibrids and floe and one or two surface layers each intimately bonded to the substrate layer, said surface layer(s) consisting essentially of from 65 to 90% by weight aramid fibrids and from 10 to 35% by weight aramid floe and comprising from 10 to 67% of the weight of the paper.
- the paper has a density of 0.8 to 1.0 g/cc with thickness of 1 to 30 mils (0.025 to 0.762 mm) .
- the multi-layered aramid papers of the invention are comprised of layers of different compositions to provide desired properties.
- the surface layer(s) provide a smooth surface and contain from 65 to 90% aramid fibrid and from 10% to 35% of aramid floe.
- the surface layer(s) constitutes from 10 to 67% of the weight of the paper.
- the substrate layer provides high tear strength. In order for the multi-layered paper to behave as a unitary structure, it is preferred that the fibrous materials at the interface between layers be intermingled.
- a layer of furnish i.e., a paper- making aqueous dispersion of floe and fibrid on an undried, previously formed layer of furnish in a paper making machine or by simultaneously depositing the layers of different composition on the screen of the paper making machine using a 2 or 3 layer hydraulic type headbox.
- the paper coming off the machine is dried and calendered, preferably to a thickness of from 1 to 30 mils.
- the density of the layered paper is preferably from 0.8 to 1.0 g/cc for use as labels.
- Aramid floe is high temperature resistant floe or short fiber cut from longer aramid fiber, such as those prepared by processes described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,063,966; 3,133,138; 3,767,756 and 3,869,430. It refers to short fibers typically having a length of 2 to 12 mm and a linear density of 1-10 deeitex, made of aromatic polyamide which is non-fusible.
- the aramid fibrids can be prepared using a fibridating apparatus where a polymer solution is precipitated and sheared in a single step as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,756,908.
- the tensile break strength of paper is determined based on ASTM method D 828-87 for "Standard Test Method for Tensile Breaking Strength of Paper and Paperboard". Specimens are 2.54 cm wide and 20.3. cm long and the jaws of the tensile testing machine are initially separated by 12.7 cm. Ten paper samples are tested in the machine direction (MD) and ten are tested in the cross direction (CD) and the values for each direction are averaged. The total of the MD and CD strengths is divided by paper density and paper basis weight to obtain the Total Break Strength.
- MD machine direction
- CD cross direction
- Thickness of papers is determined using calipers in accordance with ASTM D 374-79 (1986) .
- Density of papers is determined by determining the weight per unit area of the paper (Basis Weight) in accordance with ASTM D 646-86 and dividing by the thickness.
- the number of fibers extending greater than about 0.5 mm above the solid paper surface was taken as the Abraded Fiber Count (per centimeter) and indicates the degree of roughness of the sample.
- the following examples are illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting.
- Example 1 A two layered structure was made by combining fibrids of poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) prepared as described in Example 1 of U.S. Pat. No. 3,756,908 and floe prepared by dry spinning poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) from a solution containing 67% dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) , 9% calcium chloride and 4% water.
- the spun filaments were flooded with an aqueous liquid and contained about 100% DMAc, 45% calcium chloride and 30-100% water based on dry polymer.
- the filaments were washed and drawn 4X in an extraction-draw process in which the chloride and DMAc contents were reduced to about 0.10% and 0.5%, respectively.
- the filaments had a denier of 2 (2.2 dtex) and typical properties were: elongation to break, 34%, and tenacity, 4.3 grams/denier (3.8 dN/tex) .
- the filaments were then cut to floe length of 0.27 inch (0.68 cm) and slurried in water to a concentration of about 0.35%.
- Blends of fibrids and floe were separately fed to a 2-layer hydraulic type headbox which maintains each blend as a distinct layer until the slice exit where limited mixing of the layers occurs. This allows good bonding between the layers while still maintaining the individual nature of each layer.
- the formed sheet is then processed as is normally done on a fourdrinier paper machine by pressing and drying.
- the papers are dried completely using infrared heaters before being calendered at 320"C at a line speed of 30 feet per minute (9 meters per minute) using a pressure of 725 pounds per linear inch (130 kg/cm) .
- the composition of the layers varied from 35 to
- Layered structures, 4.0-4.5 oz/yd 2 (135.6- 152.6 g/m 2 ) were produced with high fibrid layers on both top and bottom of the structure.
- the top and bottom plies (outer layers) had equal basis weight.
- the top and bottom layers contain 65% fibrid and 35% floe.
- the top layer was applied using a secondary headbox jetting the furnish onto an already formed sheet which was prepared using the headbox of Example 1.
- the control (C2-1) was a single layer paper.
