Description

本発明は、紙用低密度化剤及び低密度紙の製造方法に関する。さらに詳しくは、本発明は、低密度化性に優れ、サイズ度低下の少ない低密度紙を容易に製造することができる紙用低密度化剤及び低密度紙の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a paper density reducing agent and a method for producing low density paper. More specifically, the present invention relates to a paper density-reducing agent and a method for producing low-density paper that can easily produce low-density paper that is excellent in density reduction and has little reduction in size.

近年、パルプ資源の不足、パルプ価格の高騰、地球環境保護の必要性などによって、パルプの使用量をできるだけ抑えるために、紙製品の坪量を下げる努力がなされている。新聞用紙、印刷用紙、記録用紙、包装用紙、板紙、壁紙、襖用原紙、裏打ち紙などの紙製品の坪量を低減することにより、コスト低減はもちろん、森林資源の確保など、地球環境問題の解決に大きな効果をもたらすと考えられる。
また、一方では、印刷適性やボリューム感のある高品質の紙が求められており、紙の嵩を高くした密度の低い紙が要望されている。従来より、紙の嵩を高くする方法として、架橋パルプを用いる方法や、合成繊維との混抄、パルプ繊維に無機物を充填するなどの方法が行われている。しかし、架橋パルプを用いる方法や合成繊維との混抄による方法では、紙のリサイクルが難しく、コスト的にも高くなり、また、無機物の充填による方法では、紙の強度を著しく低下させるという欠点がある。これらの欠点を解消するために、抄紙時に有機化合物を添加して嵩を高くする低密度化剤が検討されている。
例えば、紙力を損なうことなく低密度化されたシートが得られる紙用低密度化剤として、油脂系非イオン界面活性剤、糖アルコール系非イオン界面活性剤又は糖系非イオン界面活性剤を含有する紙用低密度化剤(特許文献1)、高級脂肪酸のアルキレンオキシド付加物を含有する紙用低密度化剤(特許文献2)、高級アルコールのアルキレンオキシド付加物を含有する紙用低密度化剤(特許文献3)が提案されている。
しかし、これらの化合物は、イオン性がないために紙に対する自己定着性が低く、使用量の割には紙の低密度化効果が低い。また、使用量を増加すると、定着性が低いために抄紙系中に低密度化剤が蓄積し、低密度化のコントロールが難しく、発泡、浮き種などの問題を起こしやすい。また、紙の強度、表面強度やサイズ度を低下させやすい。さらに、高級アルコールのアルキレンオキシド付加物、高級脂肪酸のアルキレンオキシド付加物、油脂系非イオン活性剤などには、分子内に親水性の高いポリアルキレンオキシド鎖が存在するために、サイズ度が著しく低下する。
サイズ剤の効果を損なうことなく低密度化されたシートが得られる紙用低密度化剤として、オキシアルキレン基を有する多価アルコール脂肪酸エステル化合物(特許文献4)が提案されている。
しかし、この化合物は、水とのなじみが悪く、そのままでは使用できないために、非イオン界面活性剤、アニオン界面活性剤、カチオン界面活性剤などの界面活性剤を使用しなければ、水や熱水に分散又は乳化させることが困難であり、この際に使用する界面活性剤によって、発泡や浮き種などの問題が発生する。また、紙の強度、表面強度、サイズ度も低下するといった問題があった。

In recent years, efforts have been made to reduce the basis weight of paper products in order to reduce the amount of pulp used as much as possible due to a shortage of pulp resources, a rise in pulp prices, and the need to protect the global environment. By reducing the basis weight of paper products such as newsprint, printing paper, recording paper, wrapping paper, paperboard, wallpaper, base paper for paper, backing paper, etc., not only reducing costs but also securing global resources such as securing forest resources. It is thought to have a big effect on the solution.
On the other hand, there is a demand for high-quality paper with printability and volume feeling, and there is a demand for low-density paper with high paper bulk. Conventionally, as a method for increasing the bulk of paper, a method using a cross-linked pulp, a mixed paper with synthetic fibers, and a method of filling pulp fibers with an inorganic substance have been performed. However, the method using cross-linked pulp or the method based on blending with synthetic fibers makes it difficult to recycle the paper and increases the cost, and the method based on filling with inorganic substances has a drawback that the strength of the paper is significantly reduced. . In order to eliminate these drawbacks, low density agents that increase the bulk by adding an organic compound during papermaking have been studied.
For example, an oil-based nonionic surfactant, a sugar alcohol-based nonionic surfactant, or a sugar-based nonionic surfactant is used as a paper density reducing agent for obtaining a sheet having a reduced density without impairing paper strength. Low density agent for paper containing (Patent Document 1), Low density agent for paper containing alkylene oxide adduct of higher fatty acid (Patent Document 2), Low density for paper containing alkylene oxide adduct of higher alcohol An agent (Patent Document 3) has been proposed.
However, since these compounds are not ionic, they have low self-fixing property to paper, and the effect of reducing the density of paper is low for the amount used. Further, when the amount used is increased, the fixing property is low, so that the density reducing agent accumulates in the papermaking system, and it is difficult to control the density reduction, and problems such as foaming and floating seeds are likely to occur. In addition, the strength, surface strength and sizing degree of the paper are likely to be reduced. Furthermore, higher alcohol alkylene oxide adducts, higher fatty acid alkylene oxide adducts, and oil-based nonionic active agents have a highly hydrophilic polyalkylene oxide chain in the molecule, resulting in a significant reduction in size. To do.
A polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester compound having an oxyalkylene group (Patent Document 4) has been proposed as a paper density reducing agent for obtaining a low density sheet without impairing the effect of the sizing agent.
However, since this compound is not compatible with water and cannot be used as it is, water or hot water must be used unless a surfactant such as a nonionic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, or a cationic surfactant is used. It is difficult to disperse or emulsify, and the surfactant used in this case causes problems such as foaming and floating seeds. Further, there is a problem that the strength, surface strength, and sizing degree of the paper are also reduced.
