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.
- paper articles comprising both cellulosic and leather fibers are known from US 2104996 A , US 2635958 A and GB 2045829 A .
- US1269905A discloses a process of making felt for roofing which consists in disintegrating scrap leather and cellulose fiber into a fibrous pulpy mass of the consistency of paper stock, adding a softening agent soft admixture of cellulose, adding bichromate of soda or potash to the pulp, and then forming the pulp into soft porous absorbent sheets.
- US1211837A discloses a material composed of a highly absorbent flexible sheet comprising fibers of cotton or wool and leather felted together and saturated with a bituminous 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, and wherein said leather fibers and cellulose fibers form a homogenous mixture by means of a tanning agent.
- 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 1 ⁇ 10 -7 - 1 ⁇ 10 -10 S/m, more preferably 1 ⁇ 10 -8 - 1 ⁇ 10 -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.
