Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and use of a method for the dry application of barrier and adhesive materials on moving webs of paper or board.
  • the invention particularly relates to dry-application of barrier polymers in the manufacture of packaging materials or laminates.
  • Barrier polymers are widely used in packaging materials to avoid or decrease the penetration of water vapour, fat, odours, microbes, etc. through packages. As very few materials stop the penetration of all these media, multilayer structures are often needed.
  • the manufacture of barrier layers is usually performed by extrusion of thermoplastic materials, such as variations of polyethylene and polypropylene, but also by dispersion coating.
  • the required polymers are molten and applied onto the web through a slit as a thin film.
  • the hot film adheres to the web mechanically, or in some cases, by means of an adherent material earlier applied to the web.
  • One major disadvantage of this method is that the polymer material has to be heated until it is completely molten and then it is forced through the slit. Both the heat and the mechanical force (shear stress) lead to the breakdown of the polymer structure, causing decrease in mechanical properties, and sometimes decomposition.
  • solvents or other liquid media are used, which require drying steps and consume energy.
  • An object of the invention is a method for the dry-application of barrier and/or adhesive material(s) onto a moving web of paper or board, in particular a method for the manufacture of materials, especially packaging materials and laminates, comprising one or several layers of barrier polymers.
  • a further object of the invention is the use of a dry-application method based on ionic blasting for the application of barrier and/or adhesive material(s) onto a moving web of paper or board.
  • moving paper or board webs may be coated by using a dry-application method with barrier and/or adhesive materials applicable in dry form.
  • small particles are applied onto the moving web without contacting it, by means of ionic blasting provided by high voltage, wherein the particles are charged by the ions formed by corona discharge. Thereafter, an electric field transfer the charged particles onto the web or the surface.
  • Suitable barrier and adhesive materials are polymeric materials, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethyl vinylacetate polymers, polyvinyl alcohol, polyamides, polyesters, ionomers, copolymers of vinylidene chloride and methyl acrylate and the like, which are frequently used in extrusion applications, and thermoplastic biodegradable polymers, such as polylactides, polyglycolides and their copolymers.
  • polystyrene polystyrene
  • polyacrylate polymethacrylate
  • poly(styrene-acrylate)copolymers plastic pigments based on melamin-formaldehyde and urea-formaldehyde or combinations thereof. If the polymeric materials are supplied as aqueous dispersions, they must be dried before the dry-application. This procedure is described in WO 01/00713 A1 .
  • the essential features of the polymers in the dry-application method are particle size, glass transition temperature (Tg) and electrostatic properties.
  • the diameter size of the particles, or particle agglomerates is between 0.01 and 500 ⁇ m, preferably between 1 and 50 ⁇ m. In the case the material is supplied in the form of pellets, it must be ground, optionally with dry ice, to a powder with suitable particle size.
  • the glass transition temperature (Tg) is preferably more than 40°, depending on the web material used and on characteristics of the polymer.
  • the polymer shall either be grindable or dryable and often a grinder is used in connection with application.
  • the barrier and/or adhesive material i.e. the polymer powder is applied onto the moving web, by using the dry-application method based on ionic blasting.
  • the web is selected from paper or board.
  • the powder layer is covered with a film (polyethylene terephthalate or other non-sticking material) to avoid potential sticking of the polymer material to the surface of the calender rolls during fixing.
  • the fixing is performed at temperatures suitable for the powder material, depending on nip pressure and calender speed.
  • the method according to the invention has several advantages over the state of the art.
  • the degrading effect of thermomechanical treatment on the polymeric material is decreased.
  • Such materials are for example thermoplastic biodegradable polymers, such as polylactides, polyglycolides and their copolymers.
  • the dry-application method allows the introduction of the adhesive layer in the lamination process without solvents or other liquid media, thus avoiding drying steps and saving energy.
  • the dry-application method allows one or more layers of one or different polymers to be applied before fixation. Also the thickness of the applied dry layer can be varied starting from very thin ( ⁇ 1g/m 2 ) layers.
  • the fixing parameters such as characteristics of the powder material, temperature, nip pressure and calender speed will define the upper limit for each product.
  • the base materials chosen for the experiments were webs of paper (81,4 g/m 2 ) and aluminium foil.
  • the dry-application barrier and/or adhesive materials were chosen among materials used in paper coating and lamination, especially in extrusion applications. These materials are usually provided in the form of pellets with a diameter of 1 - 2 mm, and the material must thus be ground to a powder before application.
  • the tests were made with powders produced with a laboratory grinder. To avoid sticking the pellets were fed into the grinder together with dry ice. This grinder had a 0.25 mm screen, resulting in that the biggest fraction of the polymer powder was 0.25 mm.
  • the powders were applied to the webs by a laboratory dry coating device.
  • the feeding was kept constant in all trials (24 g/m 2 ).
  • the calender speed was kept constant in all trials (about 6 rpm, accounting for about 5 m/min web speed).
  • Three temperature ranges were used, 150, 170 and 190°C, and three nip pressures, 50, 100 and 150 bar, corresponding to 12, 25 and 37 kN/m linear load, respectively.
  • the produced structures were tested for grammage, thickness and pinholes. For some samples the water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) was measured, too. Additionally the lamination structures were tested for delamination. For all materials the applicability of the material upon the web and the appearance of the produced structure were visually assessed.
  • WVTR water vapour transmission rate
  • Polyethylene powder with a particle size (diameter) below 0.25 mm was applied onto the paper web by using the dry-application technique.
  • the application of the polyethylene powder onto the paper was satisfying, however the coating amount varied much, from 12.1 to 26.0 g/m 2 , the average being 18.2 g/m 2 .
  • the thickness varied between 19.6 and 25.1 ⁇ m, average 22.6 ⁇ m.
  • Table 2 The results are presented in Table 2.
  • the water vapour transmission rate was best (lowest) for samples prepared at 190°C, approximately 145 g/m 2 /day.

  • the polylactide sample was a non-commercial sample of poly(L-lactide) with a molecular weight of about 90 000 g/mole.
  • the material was applied to the paper web using the dry-application technique. Uneven ground powder polylactide led to an uneven application result. The adhesion to the paper web was, however, good.
