Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to the field of sack paper and the production thereof.
- Kraft paper is a suitable sack wall material.
- the sacks typically have two or more walls, i.e. layers of paper material, to further strengthen the sack
- a wall layer of a sack is often referred to as a ply.
- Production of ply material is for example disclosed in WO 99/02772.
- a charged polymer e.g. starch
- a charged polymer e.g. starch
- GB2448486 discusses a dissolvable bag made from paper or another soluble materials, to contain building materials requiring mixing, such as cement, lime or plaster. It is stated that the dissolvable bag can be directly added to the mixer where the bag rapidly dissolves when water is added, which reduces spillage, wastage, mess and exposure to the building products. The packs are placed together in a waterproof wrapping to ensure the product stays dry whilst stored or in transit.
- WO 2004052746 suggests spray or dip-coating the whole exterior of already filled bags with a non-permeable, waterproof coating.
- WO 2004052746 fails to device any materials for the inner and outer layer of the bag.
- US 2011/0315272 states that a sack that dissolves in a moist environment can be obtained by using a dextrin adhesive for gluing the folded ends of the sack. Folding and gluing patterns for the ends are also discussed. A moisture barrier in the sack is not discussed.
- JP5085565A suggests that a cement sack that can be added directly to a mixer is composed of a water-soluble material, such as PVOH, having a thickness of 20-70 ⁇ .
- FR2874598 discloses a similar solution.
- Brown (i.e. unbleached) sack paper is often stronger than white (i.e.
- brown paper may be preferred over white paper as the bleaching process may be associated with significant costs and environmental concerns. Further, bleaching may lower the yield.
- the present inventors have addressed the need for a disintegratable brown sack paper, i.e. a paper for a sack that can be added together with its contents, such as cement, to a mixer and then disintegrates in the mixer.
- brown prior art sack papers such as the brown sack paper produced according to WO 99/02772 or the brown qualities of BillerudKorsnas' commercial sack paper QuickFill®, are not sufficiently disintergratable.
- the inventors have found that the disintegratability of a brown sack paper can be significantly improved by adding bleached pulp to the unbleached pulp used for manufacturing the brown sack paper.
- the inventors have also found that the disintegratability of a brown sack paper can be significantly improved by reducing the Kappa number and the degree of LC refining of the unbleached pulp used for manufacturing the brown sack paper.

- step a) comprises conversion of wood into a pulp having a Kappa number (SCAN-C 1:00) of 25- 40 using Kraft pulping.
- a "sack paper” is a paper that is intended for a paper sack, such as a paper sack for a hydraulic binder.
- the hydraulic binder of the present disclosure is for use in a hydraulic composition. Examples of hydraulic compositions are discussed below.
- the paper sack should vent air during filling.
- the sack paper of the present disclosure which is primarily intended for an inner ply, but also can be used for an outer ply, has a lower air resistance (or a higher porosity) than many other types of paper.
- the sack comprising the sack paper of the first aspect is normally a valve sack.
- Gurley is a measurement of the time (s) taken for 100 ml of air to pass through a specified area of a paper sheet. Short time means highly porous paper.
- the sack paper of the present disclosure has a Gurley porosity (ISO 5636-5) of less than 25 s. Preferably, it is less than 20 s. In some embodiments, it is lower than 15 s, such as lower than 10 s, such as lower than 8 s, 7 s or 6 s.
- a sack paper having a Gurley porosity below 2 or 3 s often has an insufficient strength. Therefore, the Gurley porosity of the sack paper of the present disclosure is preferably at least 2 or 3 s. In some embodiments, it is at least 4 s.
- Typical Gurley porosity ranges for the present disclosure are thus 3-15 s, preferably 4-10 s, such as 4-8 s, 4-7 s or 4-6.5 s.
- the method of the first aspect comprises the step of:
- the unbleached pulp is preferably a chemical pulp.
- the reason for selecting a chemical pulp is that it generally results in stronger paper than recycled pulp or mechanical pulp.
- the chemical pulp may for example be Kraft pulp or sulfite pulp. Kraft pulp is the most preferred option. As well known by the skilled person, Kraft pulp is produced by the Kraft process.
- a chemical pulp contains much less lignin than mechanical pulps.
- a chemical pulp may contain less than 5 % lignin before bleaching, compared to about 30 % for a mechanical pulp. The inventors have found that a reduction in lignin content generally improves the disintegratability.
- the Kappa number of the unbleached chemical pulp may for example be 45- 60.
- a benefit of preparing a pulp having such a relatively high Kappa number is a relatively high yield.
- a relatively low Kappa number (i.e. 20-45) of the unbleached pulp may also allow for a relatively low proportion of bleached pulp in the pulp mixture, i.e. a ratio between 7:1 and 1.5:1.
- the Kappa number may be measured according to SCAN-C 1:00 or ISO 302:2004.
- the bleached pulp is chemical pulp, such as Kraft pulp or sulfite pulp.

- the inventors believe that, at least to some extent, lower Kappa numbers in the bleached pulp are associated with an increased disintegratability of the final sack paper.
- the brightness of a pulp is a measure of the degree of bleaching. As for the Kappa number, the inventors believe that, at least to some extent, higher brightness of the bleached pulp is associated with an increased
- the ISO brightness (ISO 2470-1) of the bleached pulp may thus be at least 60, for example. It may be preferred if the ISO brightness of the bleached pulp is at least 70. In some embodiments, it may be at least 80 or 85. From an economical and environmental perspective it may however be preferred not to bleach as far as to an ISO brightness of 80 or 85. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the ISO brightness is less than 85, such as 50-80.
- a sheet is formed from the bleached pulp to facilitate the measurement of its ISO brightness.
- the unbleached pulp and/or the bleached pulp of the present disclosure may comprise at least 50 % (based on dry weight) softwood pulp.

- Paper properties of sack paper are often measured in the machine direction (MD) and in the cross direction (CD), since there may be significant differences in the properties, depending on the orientated fibre flow out of the headbox on the paper machine.
- the index of a certain property is calculated by dividing the actual value by the grammage for the paper in question.
- the grammage (sometimes referred to as basis weight) is measured by weight and surface area, e.g. according to ISO 536.
- the tensile strength is the maximum force that a paper will withstand before breaking. In the standard test ISO 1924-3, a stripe of 15 mm width and 100 mm length is used with a constant rate of elongation. The tensile strength is one parameter in the measurement of the tensile energy absorption (TEA). In the same test, the tensile strength, the stretch and the TEA value are obtained.
- TEA tensile energy absorption
- TEA is sometimes considered to be the paper property that best represents the relevant strength of the paper sack wall. This is supported by the correlation between TEA and drop tests. By dropping a sack the filling goods will move when reaching the floor. This movement strains the sack wall. To withstand the strain, the TEA should be high, which means that a
