Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a paper material comprising cellulose fibers and leather fibers.
  • the invention also relates to a process for the production of the above-mentioned paper material.
  • the Applicant has considered the problem of providing a paper material having a fibrous component comprising alternative fibrous materials to virgin cellulose, preferably deriving from recycled materials, without jeopardizing the mechanical properties of the final paper product, such as, for example, rigidity, thickness, burst strength, rupture length.
  • a further objective of the present invention is to provide this type of paper material which also has a high electric conductivity and high volume or "bulk" values.
  • the present invention relates to a paper material wherein the fibrous component comprises leather fibers in a percentage within the range of 5-80% dry weight and cellulose fibers in a percentage within the range of 95-20% dry weight, wherein said dry weight percentages refer to the total dry weight of the fibrous component.
  • the fibrous component of the paper material according to the invention preferably consists of cellulose fibers and leather fibers.
  • the paper material according to the present invention advantageously has a high electric conductivity and a high "bulk”.
  • Another advantage relates to the fact that the use of leather fibers in substitution of cellulose fibers allows a considerably reduced quantity of virgin cellulose material, up to 80% less, to be used in the production of the paper material according to the invention.
  • a further advantage provided by the present invention is the possibility of effectively recycling the tanning industry and leather transformation residues.
  • Another advantage lies in the fact that the paper material of the invention is biodegradable or compostable, reducible to pulp and can therefore be recycled in the paper production chain.
  • the paper material according to the present invention can be coupled with non-paper materials, in particular biodegradable plastic films such as PHA (polyhydroxyalcanoate), Mater-Bi ® , PLA (polylactic acid) to obtain compostable end-products, which can be used, for example, in the packaging industry.
  • biodegradable plastic films such as PHA (polyhydroxyalcanoate), Mater-Bi ® , PLA (polylactic acid)
  • a material is considered “biodegradable” if it meets the biodegradability requirements established by the standard EN 13432.
  • a material is considered “compostable” if it meets the compostability requirements established by the standard EN 13432.
  • the leather fibers have a length comprised within the range of 0.1-30 mm, preferably within the range of 1 - 20 mm, more preferably 4 - 15 mm.
  • the leather fibers are obtained by the defibration of leather, more preferably leather obtained from wastes of the tanning industry and leather transformation industry, such as, for example, residues of shaving and splitting phases of tanning processes or trimming scraps of the leather transformation industry.
  • waste products are reduced to the state of fibers using processes and techniques known in the field of leather scrap recovery, in particular in the field of so-called "bonded leather” production.
  • the defibration can be obtained mechanically, by grinding the scraps in synchronized hammer and/or knife mills and/or defibration mills, preferably Pallmann defibration mills.
  • the defibration process in mills is continued for a period of time that avoids the complete separation of the single fibers, but for a duration that is such as to obtain leather fibers in bundles, which is preferably a maximum of 30 minutes. It has in fact been observed that defibration times longer than those indicated above, damage the collagen fibers forming the leather, in addition to causing excessive energy consumptions.
  • the leather fibers are preferably partially defibrated.
  • the leather fibers are preferably in the form of bundles of fibers, more preferably similar to a tangle.
  • the fibers obtained from the defibration processes described above have a morphology and dimensions similar to those of cellulose fibers. This makes the above leather fibers compatible with cellulose fibers, and they can therefore be used as part of the fibrous component of a paper material.
  • leather fibers according to the present invention gives the paper material a characteristic aspect, as these fibers are at least partially visible also to the naked eye in the end-product, as pointed out in the enclosed figure 1 which shows a paper material according to the invention.
  • the presence of leather fibers in bundles can also be noticed in the enclosed figures 2 and 3 which show electron microscope images of a sample of leather fibers according to the invention.
  • the presence of bundles of leather fibers offers the advantage of increasing the bulk value of the paper material obtainable, without substantially deteriorating the other properties.
  • the leather fibers are preferably obtained from leather tanned through tanning processes of the type that do not use chromium, more preferably vegetable tanning (for example, using tannin as tanning agent) or "wet white” tanning (e.g. using aldehydes as tanning agent). Vegetable and "wet white” tanning, in fact, do not use chromium.
  • the use of fibers deriving from these tanned leathers in the production of paper material according to the present invention therefore avoids all problems of an environmental nature relating to the use of this heavy metal.
  • the paper material of the present invention is preferably one or more selected from printing paper or cardboard; paper for the lining of boxes; paper for packaging; corrugated paper and cardboard; paper for shoppers and bags; paper for labels; and security paper.
  • the paper material is preferably coated, embossed, die-cut and/or laminated.
  • the paper material according to the present invention can be in various forms, for example in the form of a sheet having variable dimensions, in the form of a reel, etc.
  • the paper material of the present invention has an electric conductivity within the range of 1x10 -7 - 1x10 -10 S/m, more preferably 1x10 -8 - 1x10 -9 .
  • This conductivity value makes the paper material according to the present invention particularly suitable for use as a support for digital printing, photostat printing and similar.
  • the fibrous component of the paper material preferably comprises leather fibers in a percentage within the range of 5 - 20%, more preferably 5 - 10% dry weight and cellulose fibers in a percentage within the range of 95 - 80%, more preferably 95 - 90% dry weight, wherein said dry weight percentages refer to the total dry weight of the fibrous component.
  • the typical electric conductivity of the paper produced with cellulose fibers alone is normally comprised within the range of 1x10 -12 - 1x10 -14 S/m.
  • the paper material preferably has an absolute humidity within the range of 4-12%, more preferably 5-10%.
  • the paper material preferably has a bulk value (thickness ( ⁇ m) /grammage (g/m 2 ) ratio) within the range of 1.2-1.8, more preferably within the range of 1.4-1.7. These values are on an average about 25% higher than the bulk values obtainable for conventional paper materials, without leather fibers.
  • High bulk values are desirable for blotting paper, for example.
  • Low bulk values are desirable for printing paper, for example.
  • a paper material can be obtained, having a desired bulk value, using a lower amount of cellulose fibers with respect to a conventional paper not containing leather fibers.
  • the paper material preferably has an organic nitrogen content within the range of 1-12%, more preferably 3-6% (Kjendahl method). This nitrogen content makes the paper material easily compostable.
  • the paper material preferably has a grammage within the range of 80-1,100 g/m 2 , more preferably 100-600 g/m 2 .
  • the paper material according to the invention preferably has, on the surface, occlusions deriving from partially defibrated leather fibers. These occlusions give the material a characteristic or immediately recognizable appearance.
  • a second aspect of the present invention relates to a process for the production of a paper material as defined above and comprises the following steps:
  • tanning agent refers to a compound of the type generally used in the tanning processes of animal hides, that stabilizes the collagen.
  • the addition of the tanning agent in step a) favours the formation of a homogeneous mixture of the leather fibers and cellulose fibers.
  • the tanning agent is within the group which is selected from: mineral tanning agents (e.g. zirconium or aluminium salts), tannins, more preferably vegetable tannins, aldehydes (e.g. glutaraldehyde), tanning oils, or combinations thereof.
  • mineral tanning agents e.g. zirconium or aluminium salts
  • tannins more preferably vegetable tannins
  • aldehydes e.g. glutaraldehyde
  • tanning oils e.g., or combinations thereof.
  • the tanning agent is added in step a) in a dry weight percentage within the range of 0.1-2.0%, more preferably 0.2-0.8%, wherein said percentage refers to the total dry weight of the leather fiber.
  • One or more additives of the type commonly used in the paper industry such as optical brightener agents, dyes, sizing agents, fillers (e.g. calcium carbonate and kaolin) silica, cationic starch, wet-strength agents, etc., are preferably added to the water-based mixture of step a), according to the characteristics desired for the final paper material.
  • optical brightener agents e.g., dyes, sizing agents, fillers (e.g. calcium carbonate and kaolin) silica, cationic starch, wet-strength agents, etc.
  • the dyes are present in a quantity within the range of 0.05 - 10.00% dry weight, wherein said percentage refers to the total dry weight of the mixture.
  • step b) is preceded by a refining step of the mixture of step a), more preferably with the use of conical or disc refiners.
  • Steps b) and c), in particular, can be effected with a continuous machine for the production of paper.
  • the paper material obtained at the end of step c) is preferably subjected to one or more finishing steps selected from the group comprising calendering, embossing, corrugation, coupling and coating.
  • the coating can be effected using techniques and equipment known to skilled person in the field, such as air knife coating, curtain coating, stiff blade, bent blade, metering and film press.
  • the present invention relates to the paper material obtained according to the above-mentioned production process.
  • the present invention relates to the use of the above-mentioned paper material for producing a biodegradable multilayer composite material together with one or more non-paper materials, in particular biodegradable plastic films, i.e. films comprising biodegradable polymers, such as cellulose acetate, PBS (polybutylenesuccinate), PHA (polyhydroxyalcanoate), Mater-Bi®, PLA (polylactic acid), etc.
  • biodegradable plastic films i.e. films comprising biodegradable polymers, such as cellulose acetate, PBS (polybutylenesuccinate), PHA (polyhydroxyalcanoate), Mater-Bi®, PLA (polylactic acid), etc.
