Definitions

  • the invention relates to white-tinted fine-particle plastics their use for tinting white of paper coating slips based on synthetic binders and paper coating slips, which contain such white-tinted plastics.
  • binders for paper coating slips include, for example, butadiene / styrene, styrene / butyl acrylate, Acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene, styrene / butadiene / acrylic acid alkyl ester, Acrylic acid alkyl ester, ethylene / vinyl chloride and ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymers as well as the homopolymers polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, Polyvinyl acetate and polyaddition compounds such as polyurethanes.
  • Water-soluble white toners have also been condensed with aminoplasts and these condensates are particularly recommended for whitening paper coating slips (DE-A-3 112 435). However, these suggestions have been due to insufficient lightfastness and cannot enforce rheological difficulties.
  • the invention thus relates to white-tinted, finely divided plastics from the series Polyacrylonitrile and their use for whitening paper coating slips Basis of synthetic binders.
  • Another object of the invention are with the help of these white-tinted plastics white-colored paper coating slips.
  • Plastics include polyacrylonitriles.
  • Preferred polyacrylonitriles have intrinsic viscosities (measured in dimethylformamide at 20 ° C) from 1.18 to 2.22 dl / g.
  • fine-particle are plastic powders with a (as weight average determined) particle size of less than 1 micron.
  • Preferred White tones result in comparatively high light fastness on textile fibers - Measured in the Xenotest based on the guidelines for determining the Color fastness according to DIN 54004 - from at least 4, preferably from 5 to 7.
  • the white-tinted plastics contain white-tinted polyacrylonitrile with white tones of the formulas (1) or (2).
  • the fine-particle white-tinted plastics can be powdered into the paper coating slips be incorporated. In most cases, however, it should be more convenient to use the finely divided plastics before or after the application of the whitener in aqueous Disperse phase and, if necessary, after the white toner is applied has been, the aqueous plastic dispersion obtained in the paper coating slips to incorporate.
  • plastic dispersions can A) 1 to 30 wt .-%, preferably 5 to 25% by weight of the whitened polymers, B) 1 to 50% by weight, preferably 5 to 20% by weight of surface-active substances, C) 0 to 15% by weight of preservative and D) Contain 20 to 98 wt .-%, preferably 55 to 90 wt .-% water, with up to Half of the water from hydrotropic substances, e.g. Ethylene glycol or glycerin can be replaced and the percentages are based on the sum of A + B + D Respectively.
  • hydrotropic substances e.g. Ethylene glycol or glycerin
  • Anionic, cationic and / or nonionic can be used as surface-active substances surface-active substances are used, such as in methods of Organic Chemistry (Houben-Weyl), 4th ed., Vol. XIV / I, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart 1961, p. 190 f. and in DE-A-2 334 769, pages 8 to 10 (GB-A-1 417 071).
  • Dispersions of the invention Fine-particle white-tinted plastics can be used, for example, as follows getting produced:
  • the powdery polymers are first treated with those for the selected one Suitable white toners in aqueous systems at temperatures from 60 ° C to to the cooking temperature until the whiteners are completely drawn onto the substrate. If necessary, additional aids are used.
  • the white tones can also be melted onto the corresponding ones Polymer materials are fixed.
  • the amount of white toner used on the substrate depends on the desired lightening effect; it is between 0.01 and 5% by weight of pure active substance, based on the plastic used (solid).
  • the isolated white-tinted plastic powder is then homogenized after the addition of a surface-active substance and, if appropriate, water, with vigorous stirring.
  • the amount of the surface-active substance can then be increased, if necessary to the total amount required for the stability of the dispersion.
  • the suspension obtained is then comminuted and ground wet. Pre-crushing can be done using stone or tooth colloid mills. The subsequent wet comminution can take place in colloid, vibratory, cone and vibromills as well as in dissolvers or in sub-micron dispersers.
  • continuous agitator mills with grinding media preferably those made of SiO 2 with a diameter of 0.2 to 5 mm, are preferably used.
  • the isolated white-tinted plastic powder can also be used after dry grinding can be incorporated directly into the paper coating slips.
  • a particularly advantageous option is a dispersion of white-tinted plastic
  • the combination of the whitening process and the grinding process represents:
  • the powdered plastic is comminuted wet together with the corresponding white toner, water and surface-active substances at temperatures from 60 ° C. to the boiling temperature, if appropriate after homogenization and pre-comminution, as described above.
  • the complete brightening takes place during the grinding process in the grinder, preferably in a continuous agitator mill with SiO 2 grinding media.
  • the amount of white toner used in the paper coating slip depends on the target White effect. In general, 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of pure white toner is sufficient (based on the solids of the paper coating slip to be lightened). A special The advantage is that, depending on the coating composition, the attainable graying limit is extremely high.
  • Example 3 Paper coating slip (not according to the invention)
  • the coating slips 3 and 4 a) -c) are applied to paper with the aid of a hand-held squeegee or an experimental coating system and dried at 80.degree.
  • Table 2 shows the degree of whiteness CIE of the papers after production and after exposure (1 week in daylight). example White tone usage control in % Whiteness CIE Whiteness drop due to exposure before exposure after exposure 3) without WT 71.4 71 0.4 4 a) 0.037 94.4 93.2 1.5 4 b) 0.065 101.8 100.8 1 4 c) 0.088 107.4 106.1 1.3
  • the papers according to the invention show a very low concentration of white toner both an increased degree of whiteness and a significantly improved light fastness.
