Definitions

  • the present invention relates to paper webs with asymmetrical silica impregnation and processes for their production and uses of the webs, in particular in the field of packaging materials.
  • composite materials are provided in which a modifying layer is located on the surface of the paper fleece.
  • composite materials made of paper and polyethylene are known. These composite materials are obtained by lamination of the paper surface with polyethylene films. Layer composites are created that have hydrophobic surface properties on one side or on both sides. An anisotropic distribution of the chemical impregnation within the paper fleece cannot be achieved with these techniques. In addition, such composite materials are difficult or impossible to recycle (keyword: microplastics). The relatively large amounts of material required for a coating, for example, are also particularly disadvantageous.
  • Papers can also be made hydrophobic with so-called sizing agents (for example alkylated ketene dimers (AKD)).
  • sizing agents for example alkylated ketene dimers (AKD)
  • WO 2016/133328 A1 relates to a non-woven fabric in which the non-woven fabric is uniformly impregnated with a fine powder, in particular non-woven fabric in which the non-woven fabric is impregnated with a fine powder is uniformly impregnated with a silica component, and manufacturing method thereof.
  • EP 1 944 351 A1 relates to fire-retardant compositions, in particular fire-retardant compositions for the impregnation of lignocellulosic-based materials, such as honeycomb structures made of (recycled) paper, which are often used in doors, walls, furniture and the like.
  • EP 1 262 586 A1 relates to fabrics consisting of heat-resistant fibers, characterized in that the contacts between the fibers are bound by means of an inorganic binder.
  • US 2018/233121 A1 relates to sound-absorbing fabrics with improved thermal insulation and a process for their production, in which an inorganic airgel powder and a thermoset binder resin are used.
  • An anisotropic distribution of the chemical impregnation which can also be referred to as an asymmetrical distribution, would, however, have many advantages. Functional coatings could thus be applied in much lower application weights with the same effect.
  • the targeted adjustment of the material concentration would enable the creation of more complex structures (e.g. sandwich-like channels in the paper) in one process step with minimal use of material.
  • the anisotropic chemical structure would result in advantageous property profiles in the nonwovens, for example barrier effects.
  • a fleece could be obtained that is not wetted with fluids (for example water) on the outside, but could absorb (and release, pass on, and so on ...) the same fluid on the inside, as also described further below.
  • paper fleeces are to be provided which are functionalized in such a way that they have chemically anisotropic properties in cross-section. It should be possible to produce the nonwovens using a process which allows the paper fibers to be given localized hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties. The process should be simple and also allow uncomplicated upscaling.
  • biocompatible materials are to be obtained. The distribution of SiO 2 in the form of a gradient makes it possible that one side of the fleece, in particular the paper, absorbs water and the other side repels water, or that both surfaces repel water and only water can be absorbed inside the material, analogous to a chemical sandwich structure. In addition, the water absorption behavior can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of SiO 2.
  • the method developed by the inventors uses preferably only one silane component (in particular tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), preferably prepolymerized) and a paper fleece to build up the anisotropic (asymmetric) impregnation.
  • the silane component can be introduced into the paper in a simple dipping step.
  • Other impregnation methods are also possible.
  • the nonwoven is preferably impregnated with the impregnation solution according to step c) of the method using an impregnation method selected from the group consisting of dip coating, spray coating (optionally also on both sides), size press, roller coating, blade coating and curtain coating. Dip coating and spray coating are particularly preferred. Dip coating is very particularly preferred.
  • the impregnation solution is preferably distributed uniformly over the surface and the interior of the fleece.
  • the silane component becomes a silica impregnation in the form of polymeric SiO 2 , which is also referred to as a silicate component can be.
  • a silicate component can be.
  • the distribution of the amount of polymeric silicate component is preferably controlled by the drying process, which particularly preferably includes the control of the condensation reaction of the silane component (in particular TEOS) that takes place parallel to the drying.
  • the localization of the impregnation is preferably controlled by the intrinsic diffusion and reactivity of the silane component, which in turn can be easily adjusted via the drying conditions (humidity, temperature, pressure). There is therefore no need to produce a laminate in multiple steps with many additives.
  • the method enables the saving of process steps and the amount of material introduced and thus of energy and materials based on fossil raw materials.
  • the new materials obtainable with the method can be used in a variety of ways, for example for hydrophobization in the packaging and food sector.

  • the migration of the silane component can in particular also be influenced by the evaporation of the silane component and / or the solvent at the elevated drying temperatures, since the silane component migrates with the solvent through the fleece .
  • the method of the present invention provides that there is a period of at most 60 seconds between the completion of the impregnation in accordance with step c) and the start of the drying in accordance with step d). Extensive polymerization has therefore not yet taken place at the start of drying, so that the silane component present in the impregnation solution migrates through the fleece and the distribution of the silica impregnation can therefore be influenced in a targeted manner via the migration.

  • fiber nonwovens can be obtained with an asymmetrical silica impregnation, which is designed in such a way that the SiO 2 weight fraction is approximately the same on both main surfaces, namely higher than in the middle of the nonwoven, since the silane component migrates from the center in the direction of the main surfaces and there is then an increased formation of the polymeric silica impregnation.
  • the drying is preferably carried out with the aid of a dryer.
  • the dryer is preferably selected from the group consisting of hot air dryers, ovens, drum dryers and IR dryers.
  • drying can be carried out in an oven, preferably in a vacuum oven or in a muffle oven.
  • the oven is preferably preheated, in particular to the drying temperature, so that after the impregnation in accordance with step c), the drying in accordance with step d) can be started particularly quickly.
  • the dryer is particularly preferably a hot air dryer. Hot air drying is particularly preferred.
  • the properties of the nonwovens obtained can be influenced not only via the method steps described above, but in particular also via the ambient pressure prevailing during drying. It has surprisingly been found that the distribution of the SiO 2 content in the nonwovens can be controlled in a targeted manner via the pressure conditions during drying. Nonwovens with comparatively high SiO 2 contents on both main surfaces can be obtained in particular at low pressures. In contrast, higher pressures promote differences between the SiO 2 contents of the two main surfaces, so that nonwovens are obtained in which one of the main surfaces is significantly more hydrophobic than the other main surface.

  • Such embodiments are particularly suitable for producing such fleeces in which the SiO 2 content on one of the two main surfaces is significantly higher than on the other of the two main surfaces, while the SiO 2 content is in the middle of the fleece is less than one of the two main surfaces, but higher than the other of the two main surfaces.
  • the fleeces are preferably arranged essentially horizontally or oriented horizontally during drying.
  • a horizontal orientation means that the two main surfaces of the fleece are arranged in such a way that area vectors perpendicular to the main surfaces are oriented essentially vertically.
  • the nonwovens are preferably cooled to a temperature of 15 ° C to 30 ° C, more preferably 20 ° C to 25 ° C.
  • the method preferably consists of the steps indicated. It is a particular advantage of the method according to the invention that the method manages with very few steps.
  • the present invention also relates to the use of a nonwoven fabric of the present invention, in particular as a packaging material.
  • Preferred uses as packaging material include use as frozen paper, use for products that come into contact with food, such as in particular (paper) cups and / or (paper) straws, and use as packaging for materials that come into contact with food Liquid should be protected, but should still exchange moisture.
  • the nonwovens of the present invention can be used for plastic-free straws and / or paper cups. Against the background of possible regulations to reduce plastic waste, it can be assumed that there will be an increased demand for plastic-free products. Nonwovens for the uses mentioned, in particular for use in drinking straws and cups, are often also referred to as special papers.
  • Embodiments in which the SiO 2 content on one of the two main surfaces is significantly higher than on the other of the two main surfaces are particularly suitable for use as paper cups.
  • the main surface with the higher SiO 2 content is suitable as the inside of the cup because of its hydrophobicity, since the hydrophobic properties of the surface prevent excessive penetration of the liquid in the cup into the interior of the fleece.
  • the more hydrophilic surface works well as the outer surface of the mug as it promotes printability.
  • those embodiments are particularly suitable in which the SiO 2 content is comparatively high on both main surfaces, but comparatively low in the middle of the fleece (so-called sandwich structure).
  • the high SiO 2 content on the two main surfaces prevents excessive ingress of liquid into the interior of the fleece.
  • the fact that the SiO 2 content in the middle of the fleece is comparatively low enables material to be saved.
  • the present invention also relates to the use of a fleece of the present invention as a membrane, in particular as a membrane for water / oil separation.
  • a membrane can in particular be used for the spatial separation of mixtures consisting of a liquid, hydrophobic component (in particular oil) and water.
  • the present invention also relates to the use of a nonwoven fabric of the present invention as special paper for use at elevated temperatures, in particular the use of a nonwoven fabric of the present invention as baking paper.
  • Eucalyptus sulfate fiber (“curl”: 16.2%; degree of fibrillation: 1.3%; fines: 15.2%) was used to produce a paper fleece.
  • the pulp was ground in a Voith LR 40 laboratory refiner. It was ground with an effective specific energy of 16 kWh / t (750,000 revolutions).
  • the eucalyptus sulfate pulp was made into paper webs with a grammage of 80 ⁇ 0.9 g / m 2 using a Rapid-Koethen sheet-forming system in accordance with DIN 54358 and ISO 5269/2 (ISO5269-2: 2004 (E), "Pulps - Preparation of Laboratory Sheets for Physical Testing - Part 2: Rapid Köthen Method, 2004 "). No additives or fillers were used.
  • TEOS TEOS
  • EtOH ethanol
  • H 2 O water
  • HCl HCl
  • Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out with a TGA 1 (Mettler-Toledo). The samples were moved from 25 ° C to 600 ° C at a rate of 10 ° C / min under a constant flow of air heated by 30 ml / min. With these measurements it is possible to determine the SiO 2 content, since SiO 2 is stable up to temperatures of 1700 ° C.
  • thermogravimetric analysis results are summarized in Table 2 below.
  • Table 1 ⁇ /b> sample Weight loss (TGA) Proportion of SiO 2 Paper fleece from Example 1 95.6% - Fleece from example 2 (low-concentration solution) 95.0% 0.60% Fleece from example 2 (medium-concentrated solution) 93.67% 1.93% Fleece from example 2 (highly concentrated solution) 91.57% 4.03%
  • the proportion of SiO 2 in the SiO 2 -paper hybrid materials is therefore approximately 0.6% by weight for the nonwovens obtained by treatment with the low-concentration TEOS solution, and approximately 4% by weight for the Nonwovens obtained by treatment with the highly concentrated TEOS solution.
  • Each sample was embedded in a mixture of 49.9875% by weight Desmodur 3200, 49.9875% by weight Albodur 956 VP and 0.025% by weight TIB-KAT 318.
  • the mixture is a commercial polyurethane system.
  • the freshly embedded samples were subjected to several vacuum cycles at room temperature in order to remove remaining air bubbles.
  • the resin was then cured at 80 ° C. for 18 hours.
  • specimens with a thickness of 120 ⁇ m were cut. The cutting plane was chosen so that it is oriented orthogonally to both main surfaces.
  • the samples were placed between two 25 mm round microscope coverslips using Leica Type F immersion fluid.
  • the recordings were made on a Leica TCS SP8.
  • the image data of the various confocal planes were combined and a gray value analysis was carried out for each row of image points, that is, the gray values of each row were added for each individual column. From this, the distribution through the fleece from one of the main sides to the other main side was determined.
  • CFW serves as a reference value.
  • CFW has a high affinity for cellulose and is therefore evenly distributed over the entire thickness of the fleece. If the CFW fluorescence value fluctuates significantly across the paper cross-section, this can indicate problems in the beam path (such as air inclusions), since CFW is physically homogeneously distributed on the paper.
  • amino groups of CFW can react with the polyurethane resin, which deactivates the fluorescence of CFW.
  • CFW is protected by SiO 2 , it does not occur Reacts with the resin so that the fluorescence is maintained. Therefore, in addition to the reference, the extent of the CFW fluorescence is a measure of the content of SiO 2 at a certain depth position within the fleece.
  • Rhodamine B serves as a ratiometric marker for the proportion of SiO 2 .
  • RhoB fluorescence the higher the proportion of SiO 2 .
