Definitions
- the invention relates to a decorative base paper for decorative coating materials, a method for its production, the use of the decorative base paper for the production of decorative coating materials, and a decorative coating material comprising the decorative base paper.
- decorative coating materials so-called decorative papers, also called decorative foils, are preferably used for surface coating in the manufacture of furniture and in interior design.
- a decorative paper is understood to mean a synthetic resin-impregnated or synthetic-resin-impregnated and surface-treated, printed or unprinted decorative base paper web.
- Decor papers are glued or glued to a carrier board.
- Laminates high pressure laminates
- the structure of these laminates generally consists of a transparent support sheet (overlay) that produces maximum surface resistance, a decorative base paper impregnated with synthetic resin (decorative paper) and one or more phenolic resin-coated kraft papers.
- a transparent support sheet overlay
- synthetic resin decorative paper
- phenolic resin-coated kraft papers for example, hardboard and chipboard as well as plywood are used as a base for this.
- the base paper impregnated with synthetic resin is pressed directly onto a base, for example chipboard, using low pressure.
- the decorative paper used for the above-mentioned coating materials is white or colored with or without additional printing.
- decor base papers as starting materials for the production of the above-mentioned coating materials, such as high opacity for better coverage of the substrate, uniform formation and grammage of the sheet for uniform resin absorption, high light resistance, high purity and uniformity of color for good reproducibility of the pattern to be printed, high print quality of the pattern to be printed, high wet strength for a smooth impregnation process, adequate absorbency to obtain the required resin saturation level, dry strength during rewinding operations in the paper machine and when printing in the printing machine.
- Decor base papers generally consist of bright white sulphate pulps, mainly hardwood pulp, up to 45% pigments and fillers as well as wet strength agents, dry strength agents, retention aids, rheological additives and fixing agents.
- Decorative base papers differ from conventional papers in that they have a much higher proportion of fillers and in the absence of internal sizing or surface sizing with known sizing agents such as alkyl ketene dimers, which is customary in paper.
- decorative base papers consisting of a fibrous layer.
- decorative base papers are used, for example, in EP 1 207 233 B1 and EP 1 379 729 A1 describe.
- decor base papers are known in the prior art with which a good printing result can be produced, for example with inkjet printing machines. The problem is that obtaining a good print quality often impairs the impregnation ability of the decorative base paper. For example, it's off EP 1 749 134 A1 known on the decor base paper a color receiving layer applied to improve its print quality.
- the application of the color receiving layer to the decorative base paper leads to a significant deterioration in the impregnation behavior and thus the further processing of the decorative base paper, since the pores of the decorative base paper, especially on its surface, are reduced in size or even closed by the mass of the color receiving layer.
- the additional work step of applying a color receiving layer leads to increased use of material and time and thus higher production costs.
- opacity is one of the most important properties of decorative base paper. This characterizes the ability to cover the substrate.
- pigments with a high refractive index are added in large quantities to the fibrous material. These pigments are necessary because many alternative pigments used in other paper products, such as silicates, have a refractive index comparable to the impregnating resins. A small difference in the refractive indices of the pigments, the cellulose and the impregnating resins leads to a very low opacity of the decorative film after impregnation.
- the decor base paper itself serves as a carrier material for the color design or the application of prints and decors.
- Wood or stone patterns that are produced with printing processes such as gravure printing or on digital inkjet printing machines are particularly popular.
- the pressure is applied to the surface and the components of the ink penetrate the surface of the paper depending on the amount applied.
- the deeper the inks, and thus the colorants contained therein, penetrate into the decorative base paper the more the color effect of the colorants is weakened by the pigments with a high refractive index present in the decorative base paper.
- a decorative base paper, which due to its high opacity ensures good optical coverage of the carrier material, thus inevitably has negative effects with regard to the achievable color intensity and thus the print quality and the optical design.
- the object of the invention was to provide a decorative base paper which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned and is distinguished in particular by high print quality combined with good opacity and impregnability.
- a decorative base paper for decorative coating materials comprising two fibrous layers, the first fibrous layer containing more than 5% by weight of at least one pigment with a refractive index greater than 2.0, based on the dry cellulose of the first fibrous layer. and the second fiber layer has less than 5% by weight of at least one pigment with a refractive index greater than 2.0, based on the dry pulp of the second fiber layer.
- the decorative base paper comprises two fibrous layers that have a different proportion of pigment/s with a high refractive index of greater than 2, have 0.
- the proportion of pigment(s) with a high refractive index is higher in the first fiber layer than in the second fiber layer.
- the first fibrous ply thus has a high opacity and behaves in its properties like a decorative base paper known in the prior art that has only one fibrous ply.
- the second fibrous layer of the decorative base paper according to the invention can advantageously be specifically adapted to the requirements of the respective printing process.
- a further advantage of the decorative base paper according to the invention is that a high print quality is obtained without an additional color receiving layer having to be applied to the decorative base paper, so that the decorative base paper according to the invention has good impregnability and can be produced more easily and cost-effectively.
- a decorative base paper within the meaning of the invention is a paper which, in contrast to conventional papers, is neither sized in the mass nor has undergone any surface sizing.
- the decorative base paper according to the invention has at least two layers of fibrous material.
- the first fibrous material layer serves as a covering for a carrier material and is in full-surface contact with the carrier material.
- the second fiber layer can be printed with a decoration.
- the decorative base paper is used to produce a decorative coating material
- the second fibrous ply is in full-surface contact with the first fibrous ply on its rear side and can carry a decoration on its front side (visible side), which faces an observer in the finished decorative coating material.
- the two fibrous layers of the decorative base paper according to the invention are mechanically connected to one another by the respective cellulose fibers of the individual fibrous layers, in contrast to a paper composite formed by stacking individual paper layers and connecting them with resin or adhesive.
- the first fibrous material layer can comprise customary additives.
- Customary additives can be wet strength agents, dry strength agents, retention aids, rheological additives and fixing agents.
- the first fibrous layer has more than 5% by weight, preferably more than 15% by weight, particularly preferably more than 25% by weight, of at least one pigment with a refractive index greater than 2.0, based on the dry pulp of the first fibrous layer on. It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the first fibrous layer has a higher quantity of pigment(s) with a refractive index greater than 2.0 than the second fibrous layer.
- the refractive index is determined using the usual methods known to those skilled in the art at the wavelength of the sodium D line (nD) of 589 nm using a refractometer.
- the first fiber layer has 6-50% by weight, preferably 15-48% by weight, particularly preferably 25-45% by weight, of at least one pigment with a refractive index greater than 2.0, based on the dry pulp of the first fiber layer on.
- suitable pigments with a refractive index of more than 2.0 are titanium dioxide and zinc sulfide or mixtures thereof.
