Definitions

  • the invention relates to a decorative paper which can be impregnated with thermally curable resins and printed by ink jet method, wherein the decorative paper has the same color as laminate in its untreated shape.
  • the decorative laminates are mainly high pressure laminates (HPL) and low pressure laminates (LPL).
  • HPL high pressure laminates
  • LPL low pressure laminates
  • the decorative paper is impregnated in the unprinted or printed state with a resin and with one or more layers of kraft paper sheets, which were soaked in phenolic resin (core papers), in a laminating press at a temperature of about 110 to 170 ° C and a Pressed pressure of about 5.5 to 11 MPa.
  • core papers phenolic resin
  • the resulting laminate (HPL) is glued or glued with a carrier material such as HDF or chipboard.
  • a low pressure laminate is prepared by directly pressing the unprinted or printed decorative paper impregnated with a resin at a temperature of 160 to 200 ° C and a pressure of 1.25 to 3.5 MPa to the backing plate.
  • the refinement of material surfaces may be of an optical nature (by appropriate coloring) and / or physical nature (by coating the plate surface with appropriate functionality and structure).
  • Decorative papers can be processed with or without a printed pattern.
  • the application of the printing pattern is usually done by gravure printing.
  • this printing technology has the advantage of printing large quantities of paper at high machine speed. If the patterns are printed on white decorative papers, it comes to a high ink consumption and in complicated patterns often to a poor image sharpness due to missing pixels.
  • the conventional decorative patterns which are produced by gravure printing, usually printed on color-matched decorative base paper.
  • color-matched decorative base paper For example, an oak replica is printed on a brown or light brown paper.
  • This procedure has two advantages. On the one hand, the print image becomes more natural due to more homogeneity and balanced coloring, on the other hand, the consumption of printing inks is reduced.
  • the patterns to be applied have taken on more complicated and more individual forms according to the demand of recent years.
  • this increase in pattern diversity is accompanied by a decrease in the quantities to be produced.
  • the low-pressure process is not profitable for small batches and insufficient in print quality for complicated patterns to evaluate.
  • the production of small quantities is especially important in the field of design development.
  • the EP 1 044 822 A1 describes a decorative base paper having an ink-jet ink-receiving layer and refers to the composition of the ink-receiving layer EP 0 631 880 A1 , According to the latter, the amount of the pigment in the ink receiving layer may be 10 to 10% by weight, and in the ink receiving layer may be contained white pigments, colored pigments, dyes, especially silica, clay, zeolites and other inorganic pigments.
  • the pigment / filler content of the sized base paper may be 5 to 20% by weight.
  • the EP 0 947 348 A2 describes a recording material for the ink-jet printing process with a kenaf pulp-containing sized base paper and a receiving layer thereon for the ink-jet printing ink, which preferably contain an alumina hydrate or silica pigment, so a white or a color pigment.
  • ink-jet papers are white.
  • the ink-jet printing inks must be applied partly in large quantities in order to cover the whiteness of the base paper where the pattern requires it.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a decorative paper which finds application in the proofing area for a quick visual evaluation of a later gravure result.
  • the object is achieved by a decorative paper containing a base paper (decorative base paper) and an ink receiving layer, wherein the ink receiving layer is colored so that the decorative paper after impregnation with conventional Impregnating resins and compression laminate has the same color as a laminate of decorative paper, which has no ink-receiving layer.
  • the raw papers which can be used according to the invention are those which have undergone neither sizing in the composition nor surface sizing. These consist essentially of celluloses, pigments and fillers and conventional additives. Common additives may be wet strength agents, retention aids and fixatives. Decorative base papers differ from conventional papers due to the much higher filler content or pigment content and the lack of standard paper sizing or surface sizing on paper.
  • fillers and / or pigments, color pigments and / or dyes and wet strength agents such as polyamide / polyamine-epichlorohydrin resin, cationic polyacrylates, modified melamine-formaldehyde resin or cationized starches may be used in the production of decorative papers Quantities are added and mixed well with the pulp mixture.
  • the fillers and / or pigments can be added in an amount (mass) of up to 55% by weight, in particular 10 to 45% by weight, based on the weight of the pulp.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Dekorpapier, das mit thermisch härtbaren Harzen imprägnierbar und mittels Tintenstrahl-Verfahren bedruckbar ist, wobei das Dekorpapier als Laminat die gleiche Farbe wie in seiner unbehandelten Form aufweist.The invention relates to a decorative paper which can be impregnated with thermally curable resins and printed by ink jet method, wherein the decorative paper has the same color as laminate in its untreated shape.

Dekorpapiere werden zur Herstellung von dekorativen Laminaten benötigt, die als Baustoffe bei der Möbelherstellung und im Innenausbau Anwendung finden. Bei den dekorativen Laminaten handelt es sich hauptsächlich um sogenannte Hochdruck-Laminate (HPL) und Niederdruck-Laminate (LPL). Zur Herstellung eines Hochdruck-Laminats wird das Dekorpapier im unbedruckten oder bedruckten Zustand mit einem Harz imprägniert und mit einer oder mehreren Lagen Kraftpapierbögen, die in Phenolharz getränkt wurden (Kernpapiere), in einer Laminierpresse bei einer Temperatur von etwa 110 bis 170°C und einem Druck von etwa 5,5 bis 11 MPa verpresst. Anschließend wird der so entstandene Schichtstoff (HPL) mit einem Trägermaterial wie HDF-oder Spannplatte verleimt oder verklebt. Ein Niederdruck-Laminat wird hergestellt, indem das unbedruckte oder bedruckte und mit einem Harz imprägnierte Dekorpapier bei einer Temperatur von 160 bis 200°C und einem Druck von 1,25 bis 3,5 MPa direkt mit der Trägerplatte verpresst wird.Decorative papers are needed for the production of decorative laminates, which are used as building materials in furniture production and interior design. The decorative laminates are mainly high pressure laminates (HPL) and low pressure laminates (LPL). To produce a high-pressure laminate, the decorative paper is impregnated in the unprinted or printed state with a resin and with one or more layers of kraft paper sheets, which were soaked in phenolic resin (core papers), in a laminating press at a temperature of about 110 to 170 ° C and a Pressed pressure of about 5.5 to 11 MPa. Subsequently, the resulting laminate (HPL) is glued or glued with a carrier material such as HDF or chipboard. A low pressure laminate is prepared by directly pressing the unprinted or printed decorative paper impregnated with a resin at a temperature of 160 to 200 ° C and a pressure of 1.25 to 3.5 MPa to the backing plate.

Die Veredelung von Werkstoffoberflächen kann optischer Natur (durch entsprechende Farbgebung) und/oder physikalischer Natur sein (durch Beschichtung der Plattenoberfläche mit entsprechender Funktionalität und Struktur). Dekorpapiere können mit oder ohne aufgedrucktes Muster verarbeitet werden.The refinement of material surfaces may be of an optical nature (by appropriate coloring) and / or physical nature (by coating the plate surface with appropriate functionality and structure). Decorative papers can be processed with or without a printed pattern.

Das Aufbringen des Druckmusters erfolgt üblicherweise im Tiefdruckverfahren. Insbesondere bei der Erzeugung markt-üblicher Druckmuster weist diese Drucktechnik den Vorteil auf, große Papiermengen mit hoher Maschinengeschwindigkeit zu bedrucken. Sollten die Muster auf weiße Dekorpapiere gedruckt werden, kommt es zu einem hohen Farbverbrauch und bei komplizierteren Mustern oftmals zu einer mangelhaften Bildschärfe durch fehlende Bildpunkte.The application of the printing pattern is usually done by gravure printing. In particular, in the production of commercially available printing patterns, this printing technology has the advantage of printing large quantities of paper at high machine speed. If the patterns are printed on white decorative papers, it comes to a high ink consumption and in complicated patterns often to a poor image sharpness due to missing pixels.

Daher werden die herkömmlichen Dekormuster, die im Tiefdruckverfahren hergestellt werden, üblicherweise auf farblich angepasstes Dekorrohpapier gedruckt. So wird beispielsweise eine Eichennachbildung auf ein braunes oder hellbraunes Papier gedruckt. Diese Vorgehensweise hat zwei Vorteile. Zum einen wird das Druckbild natürlicher durch mehr Homogenität und ausgewogene Farbgebung, zum anderen wird der Verbrauch von Druckfarben reduziert.Therefore, the conventional decorative patterns, which are produced by gravure printing, usually printed on color-matched decorative base paper. For example, an oak replica is printed on a brown or light brown paper. This procedure has two advantages. On the one hand, the print image becomes more natural due to more homogeneity and balanced coloring, on the other hand, the consumption of printing inks is reduced.

Die aufzubringenden Muster haben entsprechend der Nachfrage der letzten Jahre kompliziertere und individuellere Formen angenommen. Diese Zunahme der Mustervielfalt geht jedoch mit einer Abnahme der herzustellenden Mengen einher. Dies hat zur Folge, dass das Tiefdruck-Verfahren für Kleinserien als nicht rentabel und bezüglich der Druckqualität bei komplizierten Mustern als nicht ausreichend zu bewerten ist. Die Herstellung kleiner Mengen ist aber gerade im Bereich der Designentwicklung von Bedeutung.The patterns to be applied have taken on more complicated and more individual forms according to the demand of recent years. However, this increase in pattern diversity is accompanied by a decrease in the quantities to be produced. As a result, the low-pressure process is not profitable for small batches and insufficient in print quality for complicated patterns to evaluate. However, the production of small quantities is especially important in the field of design development.

Von den Drucktechniken, die den Anforderungen an Flexibilität und Qualität standhalten, gewinnt das Tintenstrahl-Druckverfahren (Ink-Jet) zunehmend an Bedeutung.Of the printing techniques that meet the requirements of flexibility and quality, the inkjet printing process (ink-jet) is becoming increasingly important.

Um Dekorrohpapiere Ink-Jet-bedruckbar zu machen, werden diese mit einer oder mehreren Funktionsschichten zur Aufnahme der Tinten und Fixierung der Farbstoffe beschichtet. Ein solches Ink-Jet-bedruckbares Dekorpapier ist beispielsweise in der DE 199 16 546 A1 beschrieben. Die EP 1 044 822 A1 beschreibt ein Dekorrohpapier mit einer Ink-Jet-Tintenaufnahmeschicht und nimmt hinsichtlich der Zusammensetzung der Tintenaufnahmeschicht Bezug auf die EP 0 631 880 A1 . Gemäß letzterer kann die Menge des Pigments in der Tintenaufnahmeschicht 10 bis 10 Gew.-% betragen, wobei in der Tintenaufnahmeschicht Weißpigmente, Buntpigmente, Farbstoffe, insbesondere Kieselsäure, Clay, Zeolithe und andere anorganische Pigmente enthalten sein könnte. Der Pigment-/Füllstoffgehalt des geleimten Basispapiers kann 5 bis 20 Gew.-% betragen. Die EP 0 947 348 A2 beschreibt ein Aufzeichnungsmaterial für das Ink-Jet-Druckverfahren mit einem Kenaf-Zellstoff enthaltenden geleimten Basispapier und einer darauf angeordneten Empfangsschicht für die Ink-Jet-Drucktinte, die vorzugsweise ein Aluminiumoxidhydrat oder Silica als Pigment enthalten, also ein Weiß- oder ein Farbpigment.To make decorative base papers inkjet-printable, they are coated with one or more functional layers for receiving the inks and fixing the dyes. Such ink-jet printable decorative paper is for example in the DE 199 16 546 A1 described. The EP 1 044 822 A1 describes a decorative base paper having an ink-jet ink-receiving layer and refers to the composition of the ink-receiving layer EP 0 631 880 A1 , According to the latter, the amount of the pigment in the ink receiving layer may be 10 to 10% by weight, and in the ink receiving layer may be contained white pigments, colored pigments, dyes, especially silica, clay, zeolites and other inorganic pigments. The pigment / filler content of the sized base paper may be 5 to 20% by weight. The EP 0 947 348 A2 describes a recording material for the ink-jet printing process with a kenaf pulp-containing sized base paper and a receiving layer thereon for the ink-jet printing ink, which preferably contain an alumina hydrate or silica pigment, so a white or a color pigment.

Üblicherweise sind Ink-Jet-Papiere weiß. Die Ink-Jet-Druckfarben müssen teils in großen Mengen aufgetragen werden, um dort, wo es für das Muster erforderlich ist, die Weiße des Basispapiers abzudecken.Usually, ink-jet papers are white. The ink-jet printing inks must be applied partly in large quantities in order to cover the whiteness of the base paper where the pattern requires it.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Dekorpapier anzubieten, das die gleichen Vorteile wie ein gefärbtes Dekorpapier beim Tiefdruck aufweist, gleichzeitig aber kostengünstig in kleineren Mengen hergestellt werden kann.It is the object of the invention to provide a decorative paper which has the same advantages as a colored decorative paper in gravure printing, but at the same time can be produced inexpensively in smaller quantities.

Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Dekorpapier vorzuschlagen, das im Proofing-Bereich zu einer schnellen visuellen Bewertung eines späteren Tiefdruckergebnisses Anwendung findet.Another object of the invention is to propose a decorative paper which finds application in the proofing area for a quick visual evaluation of a later gravure result.

Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Dekorpapier gelöst, das ein Rohpapier (Dekorrohpapier) und eine Tintenaufnahmeschicht enthält, wobei die Tintenaufnahmeschicht so eingefärbt ist, dass das Dekorpapier nach Imprägnierung mit üblichen Imprägnierharzen und Verpressung als Laminat die gleiche Färbung aufweist, wie ein Laminat aus einem Dekorpapier, das keine Tintenaufnahmeschicht aufweist.The object is achieved by a decorative paper containing a base paper (decorative base paper) and an ink receiving layer, wherein the ink receiving layer is colored so that the decorative paper after impregnation with conventional Impregnating resins and compression laminate has the same color as a laminate of decorative paper, which has no ink-receiving layer.

Die erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Rohpapiere sind solche, die weder eine Leimung in der Masse noch eine Oberflächenleimung erfahren haben. Diese bestehen im Wesentlichen aus Zellstoffen, Pigmenten und Füllstoffen und üblichen Additiven. Übliche Additive können Nassfestmittel, Retentionsmittel und Fixiermittel sein. Dekorrohpapiere unterscheiden sich von üblichen Papieren durch den sehr viel höheren Füllstoffanteil oder Pigmentgehalt und das Fehlen einer beim Papier üblichen Masseleimung oder Oberflächenleimung.The raw papers which can be used according to the invention are those which have undergone neither sizing in the composition nor surface sizing. These consist essentially of celluloses, pigments and fillers and conventional additives. Common additives may be wet strength agents, retention aids and fixatives. Decorative base papers differ from conventional papers due to the much higher filler content or pigment content and the lack of standard paper sizing or surface sizing on paper.

Zur Herstellung der Dekorrohpapiere können Nadelholz-Zellstoffe, Laubholz-Zellstoffe oder Mischungen beider Zellstoffarten verwendet werden. Bevorzugt wird der Einsatz von 100% Laubholzzellstoff. Aber auch Mischungen aus Nadelholz-/Laubholz-Zellstoffen im Massenverhältnis 5:95 bis 50:50, insbesondere 10:90 bis 30:70 können verwendet werden. Die Rohpapiere können auf einer Fourdrinier-Papiermaschine oder einer Yankee-Papiermaschine hergestellt werden. Dazu kann das Zellstoffgemisch bei einer Stoffdichte von 2 bis 5 Gew.% bis zu einem Mahlgrad von 10 bis 45°SR gemahlen werden. In einer Mischbütte können Füllstoffe und/oder Pigmente, Farbpigmente und/oder Farbstoffe sowie Nassfestmittel wie Polyamid/Polyamin-Epichlorhydrin-Harz, kationische Polyacrylate, modifiziertes Melamin-Formaldehyd-Harz oder kationisierte Stärken in bei der Herstellung von Dekorpapieren üblichen Mengen zugesetzt und mit dem Zellstoffgemisch gut vermischt werden.Softwood pulps, hardwood pulps or mixtures of both pulp types can be used to produce the decorative base papers. Preference is given to the use of 100% hardwood pulp. But mixtures of softwood / hardwood pulps in the mass ratio of 5:95 to 50:50, especially 10:90 to 30:70 can be used. The base papers can be produced on a Fourdrinier paper machine or a Yankee paper machine. For this purpose, the pulp mixture can be ground at a consistency of 2 to 5 wt.% To a freeness of 10 to 45 ° SR. In a mixer, fillers and / or pigments, color pigments and / or dyes and wet strength agents such as polyamide / polyamine-epichlorohydrin resin, cationic polyacrylates, modified melamine-formaldehyde resin or cationized starches may be used in the production of decorative papers Quantities are added and mixed well with the pulp mixture.

Die Füllstoffe und/oder Pigmente können in einer Menge (Masse) bis zu 55 Gew.%, insbesondere 10 bis 45 Gew.%, bezogen auf das Gewicht des Zellstoffs, zugegeben werden. Geeignete Pigmente und Füllstoffe sind beispielsweise Titandioxid, Talkum, Zinksulfid, Kaolin, Aluminiumoxid, Calciumcarbonat, Korund, Aluminium- und Magnesiumsilikate oder deren Gemische.The fillers and / or pigments can be added in an amount (mass) of up to 55% by weight, in particular 10 to 45% by weight, based on the weight of the pulp. Suitable pigments and fillers are, for example, titanium dioxide, talc, zinc sulfide, kaolin, aluminum oxide, calcium carbonate, corundum, aluminum and magnesium silicates or mixtures thereof.

Der in der Mischbütte erzeugte Dickstoff kann bis zu einer Stoffdichte von etwa 1 % verdünnt werden. Soweit erforderlich können weitere Hilfsstoffe wie Retentionshilfsmittel, Entschäumer, Farbstoffe und andere zuvor genannte Hilfsstoffe oder deren Gemische zugesetzt werden. Dieser Dünnstoff wird über den Stoffauflauf der Papiermaschine auf die Siebpartie geführt. Es wird ein Faservlies gebildet und nach Entwässerung das Rohpapier erhalten, welches anschließend noch getrocknet wird. Die Flächengewichte der erzeugten Papiere können 15 bis 300 g/m2 betragen.The thick stock produced in the mixing chest can be diluted to a consistency of about 1%. If necessary, other auxiliaries such as retention aids, defoamers, dyes and other auxiliaries mentioned above or mixtures thereof may be added. This thin material is fed to the wire section via the headbox of the paper machine. A non-woven fabric is formed and, after dewatering, the base paper is obtained, which is subsequently dried. The basis weights of the papers produced can be 15 to 300 g / m 2 .

Abhängig von der Anwendung und den Qualitätsanforderungen können die erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Dekorrohpapiere wie folgt beschaffen sein:

  • glatt, d.h. mit Glätte nach Bekk über 80 s,
  • ungeglättet < 80 s,
  • mit einem Yankeezylinder oder mit einem Kalander geglättet,
  • nicht oder mit einem Kunstharz vorimprägniert,
  • sehr luftdurchlässig (Gurley-Werte unter 20 s/hml)(hml=100 ml) oder dicht (Gurley-Werte über 20 s/hml) oder sogar im Falle der Vorimprägnate extrem dicht mit Gurley-Werten über 200 s/hml.
Depending on the application and the quality requirements, the decorative base papers used according to the invention may be as follows:
  • smooth, ie with Bekk smoothness over 80 s,
  • unsmoothed <80 s,
  • smoothed with a Yankee cylinder or with a calender,
  • not or preimpregnated with a synthetic resin,
  • very air-permeable (Gurley values below 20 s / hml) (hml = 100 ml) or dense (Gurley values above 20 s / hml) or even extremely dense in the case of prepregs with Gurley values above 200 s / hml.

Zur Einfärbung des erfindungsgemäßen Dekorpapiers können anorganische Farbpigmente wie Metalloxide, -hydroxide und -oxidhydrate, Metallsulfide, -sulfate, -chromate und - molybdate oder Gemische davon, sowie organische Farbpigmente und/oder Farbstoffe wie Carbonylfarbmittel (z.B. Chinone, Chinacridone), Cyaninfarbmittel, Azofarbmittel, Azomethine und Methine, Phthalocyanine oder Dioxazine eingesetzt werden. Insbesondere bevorzugt sind Gemische aus anorganischen Farbpigmenten und organischen Farbpigmenten oder -stoffen. Es können beispielsweise folgende, im Handel erhältliche Farbpigmente und Farbstoffe wie Eisenoxid (EO)Gelb (Bayferrox 415), Eisenoxid (EO)Rot (Bayferrox 110 M), Ruß Carbofin LC 2900, Farbpigmente Blau PB 15, Farbpigmente Violett PV 23 und Farbstoff Gelb PY 97 und deren Gemische eingesetzt werden. Die oben erwähnten Farbpigmente und Farbstoffe sind im Sinne der Erfindung sowohl im Dekorrohpapier als auch in der Tintenaufnahmeschicht einsetzbar.For coloring the decorative paper according to the invention, inorganic color pigments such as metal oxides, hydroxides and oxide hydrates, metal sulfides, sulfates, chromates and molybdate or mixtures thereof, as well as organic color pigments and / or dyes such as carbonyl colorants (eg quinones, quinacridones), cyanine colorants, azo colorants , Azomethines and methines, phthalocyanines or dioxazines. Particular preference is given to mixtures of inorganic color pigments and organic color pigments or substances. For example, the following commercially available color pigments and dyes such as iron oxide (EO) yellow (Bayferrox 415), iron oxide (EO) red (Bayferrox 110 M), carbon black Carbofin LC 2900, color pigments blue PB 15, color pigments violet PV 23 and dye yellow PY 97 and their mixtures are used. The color pigments and dyes mentioned above can be used in the context of the invention both in the decorative base paper and in the ink-receiving layer.

Unter dem Begriff Farbpigment(e) bzw. Farbstoff(e) ist ein einzelnes Farbpigment oder ein Farbpigmentgemisch bzw. ein einzelner Farbstoff oder ein Farbstoffgemisch zu verstehen.The term color pigment (s) or dye (s) is to be understood as meaning a single color pigment or a color pigment mixture or a single dye or a dye mixture.

Welche Farbpigment(e) oder Farbstoff(e) verwendet werden, hängt von der gewünschten Färbung des Dekorpapiers ab.Which color pigment (s) or dye (s) are used depends on the desired color of the decor paper.

Die Menge der Farbpigment(e)und/oder Farbstoff(e) im Dekorrohpapier kann je nach Art des Stoffes von 0,0001 bis 5 Gew.%, insbesondere 0,001 bis 4 Gew.% betragen. Die Mengenangabe bezieht sich auf die Masse des Zellstoffs.The amount of the color pigment (s) and / or dye (s) in the decorative base paper can be from 0.0001 to 5% by weight, in particular from 0.001 to 4% by weight, depending on the nature of the substance. The quantity refers to the mass of the pulp.

Für die Tintenaufnahmeschicht können alle bekannten Empfangsschichten eingesetzt werden. Hierbei handelt es sich meistens um hydrophile Beschichtungen, die wasserlösliche oder wasserdispergierbare Polymere enthalten.For the ink receiving layer, all known receiving layers can be used. These are usually hydrophilic coatings containing water-soluble or water-dispersible polymers.

Die Tintenaufnahmeschicht kann zusätzlich Füllstoffe, Pigmente, farbstofffixierende Substanzen und weitere, in solchen Schichten üblicherweise verwendete Hilfsstoffe enthalten.The ink receiving layer may additionally contain fillers, pigments, dye-fixing substances and other adjuvants conventionally used in such layers.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung enthält die Tintenaufnahmeschicht ein Pigment und ein Bindemittel in einem Mengenverhältnis von 20:80 bis 80:20 (Masse). Die Menge des Pigments in der Tintenaufnahmeschicht beträgt vorzugsweise 5 bis 80 Gew.%, insbesondere jedoch 10 bis 60 Gew.%, bezogen auf das Trockengewicht der Schicht.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the ink receiving layer contains a pigment and a binder in a proportion of from 20:80 to 80:20 (by weight). The amount of the pigment in the ink receiving layer is preferably 5 to 80% by weight, but more preferably 10 to 60% by weight, based on the dry weight of the layer.

Das Pigment kann jedes beliebige, in den Ink-Jet-Aufzeichnungsmaterialien üblicherweise verwendete Pigment sein, insbesondere jedoch Aluminiumoxid, Aluminiumhydroxid, Böhmit und Kieselsäuren (z.B. eine gefällte oder pyrogen erzeugte Kieselsäure).The pigment may be any pigment commonly used in the ink-jet recording materials, but especially alumina, aluminum hydroxide, boehmite and silicas (e.g., a precipitated or pyrogenic silica).

Das Bindemittel kann ein wasserlösliches und/oder wasserdispergierbares Polymer sein, beispielsweise Polyvinylalkohol, Polyvinylpyrrolidon, Polyvinylacetat, Stärke, Gelatine, Carboxymethylcellulose, Ethylen/Vinylacetat, Styrol/Acrylsäureester-Copolymere oder deren Gemische.The binder may be a water-soluble and / or water-dispersible polymer, for example polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl acetate, starch, gelatin, Carboxymethylcellulose, ethylene / vinyl acetate, styrene / acrylic acid ester copolymers or mixtures thereof.

In einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Tintenaufnahmeschicht mit den gleichen Farbpigment(en) und/oder Farbstoff(en) eingefärbt, mit denen auch das Rohpapier eingefärbt wird.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the ink receiving layer with the same color pigment (s) and / or dye (s) is dyed, with which also the raw paper is dyed.

Die Menge (Konzentration) der Farbpigment(e) und/oder Farbstoff(e) in der Tintenaufnahmeschicht, bezogen auf die Masse der getrockneten Tintenaufnahmeschicht, beträgt vorzugsweise etwa 45 bis 75 %, insbesondere 45 bis 65 % der Menge der Farbpigment(e) und/oder Farbstoff(e) im Rohpapier, bezogen auf die Masse des Zellstoffs (atro).The amount (concentration) of the color pigment (e) and / or dye (s) in the ink receiving layer based on the mass of the dried ink receiving layer is preferably about 45 to 75%, more preferably 45 to 65% of the amount of the colored pigment (s) and / or dye (s) in the base paper, based on the mass of the pulp (atro).

Das Auftragsgewicht der Tintenaufnahmeschicht kann 2 bis 25 g/m2 betragen, insbesondere 3 bis 20 g/m2, vorzugsweise jedoch 4 bis 15 g/m2. Die Tintenaufnahmeschicht kann mit üblichen Auftragsverfahren wie Walzenauftrag-, Schlitzdüsenauftrag-, Gravur- oder Nipp-Verfahren, Curtain Coating, Luftbürsten- oder Rollrakeldosierung aufgetragen werden.The application weight of the ink receiving layer may be 2 to 25 g / m 2 , especially 3 to 20 g / m 2 , but preferably 4 to 15 g / m 2 . The ink-receiving layer can be applied by conventional application methods such as roller application, slot nozzle application, engraving or Nipp process, curtain coating, Luftbürsten- or Rollrakeldosierung.

Geeignete Imprägnierharze sind die üblicherweise auf diesem technischen Gebiet verwendeten Tränkharze, insbesondere Melamin-Formaldehyd-Harz, Harnstoff-Formaldehyd-Harz, Phenol-Formaldehyd-Harz, Polyacrylate, Acrylsäureester-Styrol-Copolymere und Polyvinylalkohol. Die Harzmenge beträgt 50 bis 300 %, vorzugsweise 95 bis 150 %, bezogen auf das Flächengewicht des Dekorrohpapiers.Suitable impregnating resins are the impregnating resins conventionally used in this technical field, in particular melamine-formaldehyde resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, phenol-formaldehyde resin, polyacrylates, acrylic ester-styrene copolymers and polyvinyl alcohol. The amount of resin is 50 to 300%, preferably 95 to 150%, based on the basis weight of the decorative base paper.

Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorgehensweise nicht nur Farbunterschiede zwischen der Verpressung eines unbehandelten Dekorpapiers (ohne Tintenaufnahmeschicht) und der Verpressung eines beschichteten Dekorpapiers vermieden werden können, sondern auch die Füllstoff- und Pigmentmenge im Rohpapier reduziert werden kann. Die Deckkraft (Opazität) des daraus gefertigten, mit der Tintenaufnahmeschicht versehenen Dekorpapiers ist im verpressten Zustand die gleiche wie die des entsprechenden unbehandelten Dekorrohpapiers.It has been found that not only color differences between the compression of an untreated decor paper (without ink receptive layer) and the compression of a coated decor paper can be avoided by the procedure according to the invention, but also the amount of filler and pigment can be reduced in the base paper. The opacity of the decor paper made therefrom with the ink receiving layer is the same as that of the corresponding untreated decorative base paper in the pressed state.

Die Erfindung wird durch die folgenden Beispiele weiter erläutert.The invention is further illustrated by the following examples.

In the next step, a coating composition for the ink receiving layer was prepared with the following composition: water 80% by weight boehmite 10% by weight polyvinyl alcohol 5% by weight polyvinyl acetate 4% by weight Quat. polyammonium 1% by weight

Zur Einfärbung der Streichfarbe wurde im ersten Ansatz derselbe Farbmix wie im Rohpapier eingesetzt. Hierzu wurde eine etwa 5%ige Farbpigment-/Farbstoffsuspension vorbereitet und in unterschiedlichen Dosierungen der Streichmasse zugegeben. Die unterschiedlich farbintensiven Streichmassen wurden jeweils mit einem Auftragsgewicht von 6 g/m2 auf das Dekorrohpapier aufgetragen (Rakelauftrag/0,2 Rakel) und getrocknet.To color the coating color, the same mix of colors was used in the first batch as in the base paper. For this purpose, an about 5% color pigment / dye suspension was prepared and added in different dosages of the coating. The different color intensive coating compounds were each applied to the decorative base paper with a coating weight of 6 g / m 2 (knife application / 0.2 doctor blade) and dried.

Das unbeschichtete eingefärbte Dekorrohpapier (Referenz 1) wurde mit Melamin-Formaldehydharz imprägniert. Das Flächengewicht des Papiers nach Imprägnierung betrug 160 g/m2. Das imprägnierte Papier wurde anschließend mit einem Träger als Laminat (Referenzplatte 1) verpresst.

Wie aus Tabelle 2 ersichtlich weisen alle erfindungsgemäß hergestellten Dekorpapiere einen geringen Farbabstand auf. Die Einsparung von Titandioxid führt nicht zur Verschlechterung der Opazität (Tabelle 3).As can be seen from Table 2, all decor papers produced according to the invention have a small color difference. The saving of titanium dioxide does not lead to the deterioration of the opacity (Table 3).
