Definitions
- PCW fibres secondary or postconsumer waste fibres
- the present invention relates to the use of secondary fibres for the production of white, brilliant white and coloured transparent papers .
- the paper grade serves as a general term for distinguishing between papers of different composition, manufacture and hence appearance and mode of use.
- grading of paper by trade names and common names is effected according to origin of material, manufacture, degree of finishing and/or subsequent main use. Frequently, different grade names are customary for the same papers on the market. Often, a different name is also used for the same paper grade, depending on the intended use.
- the starting materials required for the production of paper can be divided into four groups :
- fibres e.g. groundwood, semichemical pulps, chemical pulps, other fibres
- sizing and impregnation e.g. animal sizes, resins, paraffins, waxes, wet strength agents, functional chemicals, etc.
- fillers e.g. kaolin, talc, gypsum, barium sulphate, chalk, titanium white, methylurea resins
- auxiliaries e.g. water, dyes, antifoams, dispersants, retention aids, flocculants, wetting agents
- the fibres can be divided in principle into two groups:
- primary fibres i.e. raw materials which are used for the first time in production
- secondary fibres recycled materials, also referred to as postconsumer waste (PCW) fibres, which are fed to the production process once again after use
- Transparent papers are papers having high light transmittance .
- the pulps are beaten (squeezed) in a refiner, with the result that the fibre surface is increased in size and the light transmittance (transparency) increases.
- the primary pulps (long and/or short fibres) used for the production of a transparent paper are as a rule very resistant to beating.
- the transparent papers thus produced have low folding endurances (less than 100 folds transversely to the running direction of the paper machine in the case of papers having a basis weight of 100 g/m 2 ) and are moreover characterized by low softness and pronounced extension and shrinkage behaviour.
- the folding endurance is a measure of the strength of a paper. It indicates the number of double folds which a test strip has withstood before it tears. A high folding endurance is therefore important in particular when a paper is to be used in the packaging sector, for example as packing paper, envelope, etc.
- wastepaper Before wastepaper can be used for the production of new paper, a number of preparatory steps is necessary: the wastepaper is first disintegrated in water and defibrated. The fibres are cleansed from paper- foreign parts in various steps. The fibres must then be very substantially freed from printing ink. However, it is scarcely possible to free the fibres completely from substances which reduce the transparency. Inter alia, this fact has to date prevented those skilled in the art from using secondary fibres for the production of transparent papers.
- the present invention is based on the discovery that secondary fibres can be fibrillated with less beating in comparison with primary fibres, resulting in advantages in the draining of the stock, the extension and shrinkage, the softness and the folding endurance.
- the production experiments with secondary fibres have shown that the shrinkage behaviour was 3% to 4% lower compared with the production with primary fibres, so that larger paper widths were permitted.
- the use of secondary fibres for transparent papers also means the possibility of recycling fibres into the stock circulation and hence the reduction of amounts of waste and the protection of natural resources.
- the present patent application therefore relates to a transparent paper containing secondary fibres .
- the proportion of the secondary fibres, based on the total fibres used in the transparent paper according to the invention, may be up to 100%.
- the proportion of secondary fibres is between 50% and 100%, based on the total fibres of the transparent paper according to the invention, particularly preferably between 70% and 90% and very particularly preferably between 80% and 90%.
- the secondary fibres used according to the invention have an average fibre length between 0.7 mm and 1.2 mm, preferably between 0.8 mm and 1.1 mm and very particularly preferably between 0.9 mm and 1.0 mm.
- the secondary fibres used according to the invention consist of hard- and softwood in a ratio of 40% to 80% : 60% to 20%, preferably of 50% to 70% : 50% to 30% and very particularly preferably of 60%: 40%.
- hardwood is understood as meaning a wood having a dry density greater than or equal to 0.55 g/cm 3 and the term “softwood” is understood as meaning a wood having a dry density of less than 0.55 g/cm 3 .
- the dry density designates the gross density of dry wood at 0% wood moisture content.
- the present patent application also relates to the use of secondary fibres for the production of a transparent paper according to the invention.
- the present patent application finally also relates to a process for the production of a transparent paper according to the invention.
- the process steps following the provision of secondary fibres are in principle comparable with the process steps of the processes known in the prior art for the production of transparent papers from primary fibres.
- a preferred process for the production of transparent papers from secondary fibres comprises the steps: a) constant part provision of secondary fibres, - optionally disintegration of the fibre bales, optionally beating of the fibre, dilution of the fibre with water, optionally dyeing, brightening, sizing, pigmentation, - heating of the fibre/water mixture to 40 0 C to
- the sizing of the paper web can be effected with all commercially available synthetic surface sizes. Synthetic surface sizes are based, for example, on styrene acrylate copolymers, acrylate copolymers, dimeric alkylketenes, etc. Reactive dyes, substantive dyes, acid dyes and pigment colorants are used for colouring (pulp and/or surface) . Further substances for the surface preparation are, inter alia, those which optimize, for example, the inkjet, laser or indigo suitability, improve the printability or impart particular optical and/or safety-relevant properties to the paper. These auxiliaries include, inter alia, pigments, latices, PVA and natural binders (starch, CMC) .
- Examples 1 and 2 In each case two measurement series were carried out to compare the properties of a transparent paper according to the invention (Examples 1 and 2) with those of a commercially available transparent paper (Examples Ia and 2a) .
- the papers used for the examples differ only with regard to the respective basis weight (200 g/m 2 for Examples 1 and Ia, 100 g/m 2 for Examples 2 and 2a) .
- the transparent papers according to the invention of Examples 1 and 2 contain secondary fibres in a proportion of 100%, based on the total fibres. These are secondary fibres having the designation "PW94FSC” from Greenfields S.A. S., Chateau-Gold, France. However, other PCW fibres can also be used.
- the commercially available transparent papers of Examples Ia and 2a contain primary fibres in a proportion of 100%, based on the total fibres. These are the following transparent papers:
- Table 1 summarizes the results of the measurements.
- the measured values show that the transparency decreases slightly with the use of secondary fibres but is still in a range suitable for transparent papers. Strengths and haptic properties, however, are unexpectedly at the same level; in the case of the folding endurance, even a dramatic increase in the values is observable.
- the transparent papers according to the invention shrink by about 3% to 4% less on average in comparison with the commercially available transparent papers.
