Description

  The present invention relates to a multi-layer paper, and more specifically, is a multi-layer paper having different front and back colors printed or dyed with a dye or pigment on either one of the front and back surfaces. The present invention relates to a multi-layer paper having excellent cosmetic properties without causing a pigment to ooze out or lose color on the opposite surface.

  Kraft paper is used for packaging materials such as handbags and square-bottom bags, or envelopes. In recent years, it has been desired that such wrapping paper such as kraft paper has not only protection of contents but also fashionability and functionality. Further, there is a demand for a wrapping paper with a beautiful appearance so that the inside of the bag gives a good impression to consumers. For this purpose, it is possible to make beautiful prints on kraft paper, or add or apply dyes / pigments in advance when making kraft paper to change the color of the front and back surfaces, to make a beautiful color tone, texture, etc. Trying to achieve.

  However, in order to enhance the cosmetics of kraft paper, if the surface (printing surface) of the wrapping paper that has the appearance (printing surface) is printed with many solid printing parts and dark color printing parts, there are many solid printing parts and dark color printing parts. The more the printing, the more transparent the printing surface of the wrapping paper can be seen through, and the more the printing ink comes off on the opposite surface, the lower the value of the wrapping paper.

  In order to prevent the phenomenon described above, it is desirable to increase the opacity and improve the print-through. In general, in order to increase the opacity of the paper, a filler is internally added or coated in the paper. In this case, however, there is a problem that the strength of the kraft paper is greatly reduced. Since kraft paper is used for handbags, square bottom bags, envelopes, etc. as described above, it has the strength not to break the bag, but also has a predetermined strength to prevent ruled line cracks, square cracks, etc. Is essential. For this reason, fillers cannot be internally added or coated in kraft paper, and if one side is dark (low brightness), the brightness on the opposite side is sufficiently increased (light to white) ) Could not.

  In addition, functions such as water resistance, water impermeability, cold insulation, and heat insulation have been required in order to enhance the functionality of handbags, square bottom bags, envelopes, and the like.

  Conventionally, in handbags and the like, when water resistance and water shielding are required, laminated paper, polysand laminated paper or the like with a laminate film interposed therebetween has been used.

  However, such a laminated paper has a problem that it is difficult to recycle the used paper because it is difficult to remove the laminated film when recycling the used paper.

  Patent Document 1 describes a paperboard that can be used as a base paper for a corrugated cardboard case while containing water-foaming particles and containing heat-foamable particles in an intermediate layer of a multilayer paperboard made of at least three layers. ing. However, there is no disclosure about avoiding the problem of show-through when the front and back colors are changed. Also, it does not have a fancy texture.

  Moreover, for example, as shown in Patent Documents 2 to 4 and the like, in order to obtain a foamed layer that is an air layer related to thermal conductivity, a method of containing a bulking agent, mechanical pulp or softwood pulp having bulky properties is used. There are a method of containing, a method of increasing the raw material freeness, a method of reducing the press linear pressure and calendar linear pressure in the paper making process, etc., but any means weakens or reduces the entanglement between the pulp fibers, As a result, the interlaminar strength is lowered, and there arises a problem that the interlaminar strength cannot be ensured as the multilayer kraft paper for bag making. Further, as in Patent Document 1, it does not have a fancy texture.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to make a multilayer paper with different front and back colors printed on either one of the front and back surfaces or dyed with a dark color with a dye / pigment. The present invention is to provide a multilayer paper that is a decorative paper and has excellent cosmetic properties without causing dyes or pigments to ooze out or discolor from the opposite surface. In particular, it can be suitably used for multilayer papercraft.

  The present invention is a multilayer paper having a surface layer, a back layer, and one or more intermediate layers arranged between the surface layer and the back layer, wherein the surface layer and the back layer are at least One is colored, and at least one of the intermediate layers is a foamed layer containing pulp and foamed particles, the surface layer and the back layer have different hues, and the brightness of the surface layer and the back layer The multilayer paper is characterized in that the difference ΔL is 30 to 60.

  Preferably, the lightness (L value) measured in accordance with JISZ8722 of the foamed layer is 55 to 80, the a value is −3 to 6, and the b value is 1 to 25.

  Preferably, in the foamed layer, a content ratio of the foamed particles to a solid content of the pulp is 1 to 10% by mass in terms of solid content, the foamed layer further contains a heat-meltable fiber, and the pulp The content of the heat-meltable fiber with respect to the solid content is 1 to 10% by mass in terms of solid content. TAPPI No. The interlayer strength defined by 18-2 is 75 mJ or more, and the water shielding rate is 81% or more.

  Preferably, the hot melt fiber is made of polyethylene terephthalate.

  According to the multilayer paper according to the present invention, the shielding effect by the middle layer is high and the cosmetics are excellent, despite the large difference in brightness between the front layer and the back layer. That is, although the surface layer and / or the surface of the back layer is printed with a dark color or colored with a dye / pigment, the color of the surface layer does not escape to the surface of the back layer, or The color of the back layer does not fall out to the surface of the surface layer, and it is possible to provide a multi-layer paper having excellent cosmetic properties that is not affected by the color of the opposite surface, and it can be suitably used particularly as a multi-layer paper.

It is a schematic sectional drawing which shows the layer structure of the foamed paperboard which concerns on this invention. It is a schematic sectional drawing which shows the layer structure of the foamed paperboard which concerns on the example of a change of this invention. It is a schematic sectional drawing which shows the layer structure of the foamed paperboard which concerns on the other modification of this invention.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a multilayer paper according to the present invention will be described in detail as a multilayer papercraft. In addition, this invention is not limited to the following embodiment, It cannot be overemphasized that the structure can be variously changed in the range which does not deviate from a claim.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a multilayer kraft paper (hereinafter referred to as “multilayer kraft paper”) 10, which is one of the embodiments according to the present invention, has a colored surface layer 11 and three middle layers 12. , 13, 14 and a colored paper layer 15, which is a five-layer paper layer. Further, in the present multi-layered kraft paper 10, the middle layers 12 and 13 are foamed layers composed of pulp and foamed particles, and the foamed layers are preliminarily provided with one or more cationic polymer compounds in the foamed particle suspension. Is added to agglomerate the foamed particles to form a foamed particle aggregate, and paper is made from a pulp slurry obtained by adding the foamed particle suspension containing the aggregate to the raw material pulp.

  By adding a foamed particle suspension in which aggregates of foamed particles are formed in this way to form the middle layers 12 and 13 as a foamed layer, the water shielding, cooling and heat retaining properties are excellent, and the shielding properties are also excellent. Multi-layered kraft paper can be obtained. Due to the shielding property of the middle layer, even if the colored back layer is a dark color, the colored dye / pigment does not appear on the surface layer, and color is not lost, thereby improving the cosmetic properties of the surface layer. .

  The foamed layer can achieve excellent shielding and concealing properties by foaming the foamed particle aggregate in the drying process after securing the entanglement of the pulp fibers in the wire part and press part of the paper making process. This is particularly useful in the method of using the craft paper 10 and the required quality.

  After the foamed particles are aggregated in advance with a cationic polymer compound, and added to the raw material pulp, the yield of the foamed particles in the paper is improved, the foamed particles remaining in the white water are reduced, and the paper is efficiently Shielding concealment can be improved by staying inside.

  Below, the aggregate of the expanded particle added to this multilayer papercraft 10 is demonstrated.

  As described above, the aggregate of foam particles added to the raw pulp of the multilayer paper 10 is to aggregate the foam particles by adding one or more cationic substances to the foam particle suspension in advance. It is formed by.

  In order to form a foaming layer having shielding and concealing properties in the present invention, a foamed particle suspension comprising foamed particle aggregates, which is composed of foamed particles, at least one cationic polymer compound, and water. The viscosity is preferably 100 to 300 cps, more preferably 130 to 220 cps. If the viscosity is less than 100 cps, the viscosity is low and the yield of the expanded particles tends to deteriorate, and it becomes difficult to form the desired concealable expanded layer. Moreover, when this viscosity exceeds 300 cps, the cohesiveness becomes too strong, the shape of the aggregate becomes large, and when the suspension is added to the pulp slurry, the cohesive force of the fine fibers also becomes strong, Dehydration deteriorates and tends to reduce production efficiency, which is not economical. Further, since the cohesive force of the fine fibers is strong, the texture tends to deteriorate during papermaking, and color loss due to the deterioration of texture tends to occur.

  By adding this foamed particle suspension to the pulp slurry, the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 can obtain a foamed layer having high shielding and concealing properties, and can achieve the object of the present invention.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the density | concentration of the expanded particle in the said expanded particle suspension is 5-30 mass%, More preferably, it is 15-25 mass%. If the concentration is less than 5% by mass, the viscosity of the slurry is low, and aggregates of the expanded particles cannot be formed, so that the yield decreases. On the other hand, when this concentration exceeds 30% by mass, the viscosity becomes too high, the dispersion state is poor, and the mixture is formed in a granular form. There is a problem that is difficult to achieve.

  Moreover, it is preferable to contain 1-10 mass% in conversion of solid content with respect to the pulp solid content of each layer of the middle layers 12 and 13, foamed particle (foamed particle aggregate), More preferably, it is 2.1-7 mass. %. When the content of the expanded particles per layer is less than 1% by mass, the distance between the expanded particles becomes long even when the aggregate of the expanded particles is expanded. There is a problem that it is difficult to achieve sufficient shielding and concealing properties when the foam layer (air layer) cannot be obtained and the back surface is dark. Further, it becomes difficult to impart water shielding properties, cold insulation properties, and heat insulation properties. On the other hand, even if the content of the expanded particles per layer exceeds 10% by mass, improvement in water-blocking property, cold-retaining property, and heat-retaining property of the multi-layered kraft paper 10 cannot be expected, and the manufacturing cost only increases. is there. Further, even when blended with a heat-meltable fiber described later, it becomes difficult to obtain a predetermined interlayer strength, so that the interlayer strength of the multilayered kraft paper 10 is lowered, and the multilayered kraft paper 10 is At the time of bonding / folding when processing for bag-making, corner cracking, folding failure, etc. tend to occur.

  In the present multi-layered kraft paper, expanded particles in which a low boiling point solvent is enclosed in an outer shell made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin can be used as expanded particles.

  Examples of the thermoplastic synthetic resin constituting the outer shell include copolymers such as vinylidene chloride, acrylonitrile, acrylic acid ester, and methacrylic acid ester.

  Examples of the low boiling point solvent enclosed in the outer shell include isobutane, pentane, petroleum ether, hexane, low boiling point halogenated hydrocarbon, and methylsilane.

  Examples of such expanded particles include “Matsumoto Microsphere F-20 Series”, “F-30 Series”, “F-36 Series”, and “F-46 Series” manufactured by Matsumoto Yushi Seiyaku Co., Ltd. , "F-48 series", "Expansel WU", "Du DU", etc. sold by Nippon Philite Co., Ltd. can be used. It is not limited to.

  However, in the present multi-layered kraft paper 10, it is generally desirable that the temperature of the paper drying process is about 130 ° C., and therefore, low-temperature expansion type expanded particles having an expansion start temperature of 90 to 140 ° C. are preferred.

  The foamed particles are heated above the softening point of the thermoplastic synthetic resin constituting the outer shell, and simultaneously the low-boiling solvent encapsulated is vaporized, the vapor pressure rises, the outer shell expands, and the particles expand. After expansion, the internal pressure and the shell tension / external pressure are balanced to maintain the expanded state.

  The expanded particles are generally expanded to this state and used as a lightening agent, a bulking agent, a cushioning agent, a heat insulating agent and the like. If heat is further applied to the expanded foam particles in an expanded state, and gas is permeated and diffused from the expanded and thin shell, the tension and external pressure of the shell become larger than the internal pressure. The foamed particles will shrink.

  The average particle diameter of the expanded particles is preferably 5 to 30 μm. If it is less than 5 μm, a sufficient foamed layer cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if it exceeds 30 μm, the particle diameter of the expanded particles becomes too large, and a uniform expanded layer cannot be obtained. The average particle diameter of the expanded particles is a value measured by a particle size distribution measuring apparatus using laser diffraction applying light scattering theory. Examples of such measuring devices include laser diffraction / light scattering particle size measuring devices LS230, LS200, and LS100 manufactured by Coulter Corporation, laser diffraction particle size distribution devices SALD2000 and SALD3000 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, and laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution devices manufactured by HORIBA, Ltd. LA910, LA700, LA600 etc. are mentioned.

  The foamed particles used in the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 are foamed by a dryer in the drying process. For the above reasons, the low-temperature expansion type foamed particles having an expansion start temperature of 90 to 140 ° C. are used as described above. Is preferred. The F-48 series is particularly preferable. That is, if the expanded particle has an expansion start temperature of less than 90 ° C., when expanded by a dryer in the drying process, the expanded particle once again contracts as described above, and the middle layer is an air layer related to thermal conductivity. It becomes difficult to do.

  In addition, the cationic polymer compound used in the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 is not particularly limited as long as it is an electrolyte exhibiting a cationic property. For example, polyamine polyamide epichlorohydrin, polydiallylmethylamine epichlorohydrin is used. Various types such as water-soluble resins such as polyamine, glyoxal, cationic polyacrylamide, polyethyleneimine, and polyamine can be used. Among these, a cationic polyacrylamide type and a polyamine polyamide epoxyhydrin type are particularly preferable, and a cationic polyacrylamide type is more preferable.

  Further, the cationic polymer compound that can be used in the multilayer papercraft 10 has a molecular weight of preferably 1 million to 12 million, more preferably 3 million to 10 million.

  Moreover, in order to form the shielding concealability in this invention, in order to aggregate a foamed particle effectively, a cationic polymer compound is 0.1-2 mass% in conversion of solid content with respect to pulp solid content. The foamed particle suspension containing a foamed particle aggregate formed by previously mixing the cationic polymer compound and the foamed particles may be added so that the content is more preferably 0.2 to 1% by mass. preferable. If the content of the cationic polymer compound is less than 0.1% by mass, the yield of the foamed particles is deteriorated, and the foamed layer cannot be made into a foamed layer having a shielding concealing property desired by the present application, When the content of the cationic polymer compound exceeds 2% by mass, the agglomeration effect becomes too high, the floc dispersion becomes poor, and it is difficult to form a uniform texture that shields the back surface. As the cationic polymer compound, RB-33 manufactured by Harima Kasei Co., Ltd., which is a paper strength agent, can be used.

  In addition, a flocculant can be used as the cationic polymer compound in the multilayer paper craft paper 10, and Hakutron KC100 manufactured by Hakuto Co., Ltd. can be used as the flocculant.

  Specifically, Haktron KC100 and RB-33 can be used as the cationic polymer compound.

  Moreover, in order to form the shielding concealing property in the present invention, it is preferable to add a sulfuric acid band to the above-mentioned foamed particle suspension to adjust the viscosity of the foamed particle suspension to 100 to 300 cps, and 130 to 220 cps. It is more preferable to adjust to.

  The addition amount of the sulfuric acid band is 0.01 to 0.5% by mass, more preferably 0.05 to 0.3% by mass with respect to the expanded particle suspension. When the viscosity is less than 100 cps, the viscosity is low and the yield of the expanded particles tends to deteriorate, and it becomes difficult to form the desired concealable expanded layer. Further, if this viscosity exceeds 300 cps, the cohesiveness becomes too strong, so when the suspension is added to the pulp slurry, the fine fibers are also aggregated, the texture is likely to deteriorate, and the color loss due to the deterioration of the texture is caused. It tends to occur.

  In order to effectively agglomerate 1 to 10% by mass of foamed particles, the cationic polymer compound is 0.1 to 2% by mass in terms of solid content, more preferably 0.2 to 1 with respect to the pulp solid content. The raw material pulp contains a foamed particle aggregate formed by mixing a cationic polymer compound and foamed particles in advance so as to be mass%.

  Further, the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 may contain a heat-meltable fiber mixed with at least one intermediate pulp (in this embodiment, intermediate layers 12 and 13) of raw pulp.

  Since this multi-layered kraft paper 10 is a multi-layered kraft paper, it is produced by containing only hot melt fibers in the middle layers 12 and 13 and melting the hot melt fibers of the middle layers 12 and 13 in the paper making process. can do.

  It is conceivable that the hot-melt fiber is mixed not only in the middle layers 12 and 13 but also in the surface layer 11. However, when the hot-melt fiber is mixed in the surface layer 11, in the dryer part or the like, It is preferable to mix only the middle layers 12 and 13 because there is a possibility of adhering to tools and the like. In addition, when hot-melt fibers are mixed with the back layer 15, the melt-melt fibers on the paper surface adhere to a dryer roll or the like, which is not preferable.

  The heat-meltable fiber is preferably contained in an amount of 1 to 10% by mass, more preferably 3 to 10% by mass, and most preferably 4 to 7% by mass with respect to the pulp solid content of each of the middle layers 12 and 13. By setting the content of the heat-meltable fiber to 1% by mass or more, an effect of improving the interlayer strength can be obtained. Moreover, by setting it as 10 mass% or less, ruled line cracking resistance can be maintained, without raising the hardness of paper more than necessary.

  The heat-meltable fibers include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber, polyethylene (PE) fiber, EVA fiber, vinylon fiber, PVA fiber, aramid fiber, carbon fiber, rayon fiber, acrylic fiber, polyamide Various fibers such as fiber and glass fiber are known.

  However, in this multi-layered kraft paper 10, the adhesiveness with the foamed particles, the adhesiveness with the pulp fibers, the ability to make paper by mixing with the raw material pulp, the melted properly in the paper machine drying process, the foamed particles, the pulp From the viewpoints of bonding to fibers and shielding / hiding properties, it is preferable to use hot-melt fibers made mainly of PET, vinylon, PE, EVA, PVA, etc. Among these, PET fibers and PVA fibers are mainly used. A heat-meltable fiber as a raw material is more preferable because it forms a foamed layer of foamed particles having uniform shielding and concealing properties without inhibiting foaming of the foamed particles.

  The melting temperature of the heat-meltable fiber is preferably that having a fiber surface melting temperature of 90 to 130 ° C. Specifically, Sophit N720 / Kuraray, TJ04CN / Teijin, Vinylon Binder SML / Unitika, EA-CHOP / Chisso, Ester 4080 / Unitika, NBF / Daiwabo and the like can be suitably used.

  As described above, the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 has a foaming layer having a shielding and concealing property for the first time by containing foam particles not used in general paper as an aggregate in at least one middle layer of raw material pulp. Even if the back layer is a dark color, the present multilayered kraft paper having a high surface layer brightness can be obtained. Moreover, the quality which is excellent in water-insulating property, heat retention property, and cold insulation property can be satisfied.

  The pulp used as the raw material for this multi-layered kraft paper 10 is hardwood bleached kraft pulp (LBKP), softwood bleached kraft pulp (NBKP), hardwood unbleached kraft pulp (LUKP), softwood unbleached kraft pulp (NUKP) , Hardwood sulphite pulp, coniferous sulphite pulp, etc. Chemically treated pulp, non-wood fiber such as kenaf, hemp, firewood, etc., which are chemically treated pulp, and other wood materials Ground pulp obtained by mechanical pulping of the pulp and chips, chemi ground pulp mechanically pulped with chemicals added to wood or chips, and digestion until chips become soft, then pulped with a refiner etc. Virgin and kraft pulp, semi-chemical pulp, enzyme bleach Old paper used in offices including rupe, deinked, bleached pulp, old paper from milk pack, high quality cut-off waste paper, coat cut-off waste paper, upper white, extra white, medium white, etc., unprinted, lottery, new stage, newspaper, craft envelope, Examples include imitation and recovered pulp obtained from magazine wastepaper.

  As the raw material pulp used for the surface layer 11 of the present multi-layered kraft paper 10, the above-mentioned various known pulps can be used, but the printability is not impaired, and the crease-resistant cracking is suitable as bag-making processing suitability. Waste paper pulp can be blended as much as possible within a range that does not impair the purpose of maintaining suitability and bendability.

  In addition, as the raw material pulp used for the middle layers 12 and 13 of the present multi-layered kraft paper 10, the above-mentioned various known pulps can be used. Even when a raw pulp composed of 100% waste paper pulp is used, the interlaminar strength can be maintained without affecting the expansion and concealment of the expanded particles.

  However, when 100% of waste paper pulp is blended, the drainage becomes worse due to the large number of fine fibers, the production speed is lowered, and the strength as a kraft paper for bag making which is the object of the present invention. In order to maintain, it is preferable to mix 50% of NBKP in the raw pulp of the middle layers 12 and 13.

  Moreover, although the well-known various thing mentioned above can be used also as raw material pulp used for the middle layer 14 and the back layer 15, the objective of maintaining the intensity | strength of this multilayer papercraft 10 without impairing water resistance performance. It is preferable to add as much waste paper pulp as possible within a range that does not impair the energy consumption, because it is advantageous in terms of reducing energy consumption and the burden on the environment and in terms of cost.

  In the present multi-layered kraft paper 10, the freeness after disaggregation is preferably 250 to 480 cc, and more preferably 280 to 320 cc. If the freeness after disaggregation is less than 250 cc, the tear strength is low and the strength of the kraft paper is difficult to obtain. On the other hand, if the freeness after disaggregation exceeds 480 cc, papermaking properties may be poor and operability may be lowered.

  Further, for the surface layer, the back layer, and the intermediate layer obtained by peeling the multilayer kraft paper 10 layer by layer, the freeness after disaggregation of the intermediate layer is 30 cc than the freeness after disaggregation of the surface layer and the freeness after disaggregation of the back layer. As described above, it is preferably 40 cc or more. Compared to the front and back layers, the intermediate layer has a low interfiber bonding force due to the influence of the foamed particles, and it is preferable to increase the freeness of the intermediate layer compared to the front and back layers in order to prevent a decrease in strength.

  The middle layer 14 and the back layer 15 of the multi-layered kraft paper 10 perform the role of ensuring good ruled line cracking and surface strength when the multi-layer kraft paper 10 is processed into an envelope for bag making. Is a layer. The middle layer 14 and the back layer 15 are made of the same raw material.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 retains water resistance in the rain of handbags used for packaging of frozen foods and the like, which are rich in moisture, and for shopping purposes.

In order to provide such water resistance, the sizing agent is preferably 0.3 to 1.5% by mass in terms of solid content, more preferably 0.6 to the raw material pulp of each layer of the middle layer 14 and the back layer 15. It is preferable to add -1.5 mass%, and to adjust the water absorption measured based on JIS-P8140 to 30-80 g / m < ² >, More preferably, it is 30-50 g / m < ² >. When the water absorption is less than 30 g / m ² , the adhesiveness at the time of bonding at the time of bag making deteriorates, a special adhesive is required, and when the multi-layered kraft paper 10 is recycled as used paper In addition, the solubility tends to deteriorate. Further, the operability is deteriorated and the manufacturing cost is increased. On the other hand, if the water absorption exceeds 80 g / m ² , the adhesive at the time of bag making process penetrates into the paper layers of the middle layer 14 and the back layer 15, and the amount of adhesive applied increases and the cost increases. In addition, moisture easily penetrates into paper and is easily broken.

  In addition, the raw material pulp of each layer of the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 contains an oil resistance agent, a fixing agent, a sizing agent, starch, a filler, an antifoaming agent, a paper strength enhancer, an anti-slip agent, a pH adjuster and the like. Also good.

  In addition, from the viewpoint of water shielding, it is preferable that the pH of the paper surface of the multilayer kraft paper 10 is about 4-5. When the pH of the paper is in a neutral range, the effectiveness of the sizing agent is deteriorated, and water permeation from the surface is accelerated, resulting in poor water shielding.

  The multilayered kraft paper 10 is manufactured using the above-described raw pulp through a known papermaking process, for example, a wire part, a press part, a dryer part, a size press, a calendar part, and the like.

  In the present invention, the surface layer and / or the back layer may be colored using a known anionic direct dye, a cationic dye, a basic dye, a pigment, or the like on the surface layer or the raw material pulp. it can. Alternatively, it can be colored with printing ink.

  Anionic direct dyes are originally made for the purpose of dyeing cellulose fibers and are dyed directly on cellulose fibers from a dye bath containing a neutral salt. From the chemical structure, it can be divided into azo, stilbene, thiazole, dioxazine, phthalocyanine and the like. As the anionic direct dye, those composed of an azo dye having an azo group (—N═N—) as a chromophore are generally used, but any anionic direct dye can be used. A cationic direct dye is one in which the end of the chromophore is a cationic group, for example, a molecule having a sulfone group, a phenolic hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, etc. in the molecule and in the form of a sodium, potassium or ammonium salt. It is a dye of structure. As a pigment, there are inorganic pigments, organic pigments, and lake pigments as a general term for those unnecessary for water and oil, and these pigments can be used.

  The multilayer paper making kraft paper 10 is manufactured by laminating raw material pulp of the surface layer 11, the middle layers 12, 13, 14, and the back layer 15 in this order by a paper machine. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 is a paper machine in which an intermediate layer 12 is laminated on the surface of the surface layer 11, an intermediate layer 13 is laminated on the surface of the intermediate layer 12, and the surface of the intermediate layer 13 The intermediate layer 14 is laminated thereon, and the back layer 15 is laminated on the surface of the intermediate layer 14. Depending on the model of the paper machine, the layers may be stacked in the reverse order. Since the paper machine is not particularly limited, various known paper machines such as a long net paper machine, a twin-wire paper machine, a circular net paper machine, and a short net combination machine can be used.

The basis weight of the multilayer paper making kraft paper 10, also varies depending on the intended use or the like, is preferably 120~300g / ^{m 2,} more preferably from 130~200g / ^{m 2.} If this basis weight is less than 120 g / m ² , there is a concern of color transparency. On the other hand, even if this basis weight is made larger than 300 g / m ² , it becomes an excessive quality as a paper bag application and only increases the manufacturing cost.

Moreover, it is preferable that the total basic weight of the middle layers 12 and 13 which are a foaming layer with high shielding concealment property is 25-80 g / m < ² >, More preferably, it is 30-70 g / m < ² >. If the total basis weight of the middle layers 12 and 13 which are foam layers having high shielding and concealing properties is less than 25 g / m ² , even if a predetermined amount of foam particles is blended, the thickness of the foam layer is thin. In some cases, the kraft paper 10 cannot be provided with a desired water barrier. Moreover, it tends to be inferior in terms of shielding and concealing properties, and even if the back surface is dark, it is difficult to obtain the present multilayered kraft paper having a high surface layer brightness. On the other hand, when the total basis weight of the middle layers 12 and 13 is more than 80 g / m ² , the cushioning property is improved and the crease at the time of bag making is difficult to be formed although it is excellent in terms of providing water shielding. Although it is possible to increase the basis weight of the layers other than the middle layers 12 and 13 which are the foam layers, problems such as an increase in manufacturing cost occur, which is not practical.

In addition, the total basis weight of the surface layer 11 or the total basis weight of the middle layer 14 and the back layer 15 other than the foam layer varies depending on the layer configuration of the multi-layered kraft paper 10 and the basis weight of each other layer. It is preferable to set it as 25-45 g / m < ² >. If it is less than 25 g / m ^2, it is difficult to obtain a paper with a uniform texture, and the cosmetic properties are poor. On the other hand, even if it exceeds 45 g / m ² , the appearance does not change, and a large amount of dye for coloring is required, resulting in an improvement in cost.

  Moreover, the difference ΔL in lightness between the surface layer 11 and the back layer 15 of the multilayer kraft paper 10 is 30 to 60, preferably 40 to 60. If the difference in brightness between the front and back sides is less than 30, it is not necessary for the middle layer to exhibit high concealment. On the contrary, if it exceeds 60, the surface layer or the back layer is greatly affected by the color tone of the middle layer, and the cosmetic properties are lowered.

  As for the color tone (Lab value) of the middle layer of this multilayer papercraft 10, the L value is preferably 55 to 80, the a value is -3 to 6, and the b value is preferably 1 to 25. In the above range, the shielding effect of the intermediate layer is increased, and a multi-layered kraft paper having excellent cosmetic properties can be obtained. If the L value is less than 55, it is difficult to make the front-back brightness difference ΔL 30 or more. If the L value exceeds 80, the cost increases. Moreover, it becomes unnecessary and becomes unnecessary.

Moreover, it is preferable that the density after foaming of this multilayer papercraft 10 is 0.5-0.75 g / cm < ³ >, More preferably, it is 0.6-0.7 g / cm < ³ >. When the density is less than 0.5 g / cm ³ , the multi-layer kraft paper 10 is excellent in water barrier properties, but even if it contains a heat-meltable fiber, the interlayer strength is weak, and the desired effect can be obtained. I can't. On the other hand, if the density exceeds 0.75 g / cm ³ , a problem arises in terms of shielding concealment. Moreover, the effect of water shielding is low and it becomes difficult to solve the problems of the present invention.

  Further, since the surface layer 11 of the multi-layered kraft paper 10 is often printed, the multi-layer paper is made as necessary in order to improve the surface strength or adjust the slipperiness. It is preferable to apply a coating liquid mainly composed of a water-soluble substance on the surface of the surface layer 11 of the kraft paper 10.

Examples of such water-soluble substances include polyacrylamide and derivatives thereof, polyvinyl alcohol, cellulose derivatives, starch, modified starch, polystyrene-butadiene-based, acrylic-based, polyvinyl acetate-based latex, wax emulsion, and the like in this field. A variety of commonly used known materials can be used alone or in admixture of two or more. In addition, favorable printability can be obtained by setting the coating amount per one side of the water-soluble substance to 0.5 to 3.5 g / m ² , more preferably 0.7 to ² g / m ² .

  Further, if a coating liquid mainly composed of a pigment and a binder is applied on the surface of the multilayer paper craft paper 10 using a coating apparatus, a more beautiful printing can be achieved.

  Further, the surface of the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 may be smoothed. This smoothing treatment is preferably carried out, for example, by subjecting the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 to pressure treatment between pressurizable rolls.

  When performing the smoothing treatment, it is preferable that the roll in contact with the surface of the surface layer 11 of the multi-layered kraft paper 10 has a smooth surface and is a heatable metal roll. The smoothing process for the multi-layered kraft paper 10 is a process of making the multi-layered kraft paper 10 in addition to the above-described smoothing process, for example, a calendar having one or more pairs of metal rolls. Perform calendar processing with rolls (calendar processing with machine calendars), calendar processing with one or more metal rolls and resin rolls (calendar processing with soft calendars), drying with a Yankee dryer, etc. You can also.

  This multi-layered kraft paper 10 configured as described above is disclosed in J. Org. TAPPI No. The interlayer strength based on 18-2 is preferably 75 mJ or more. When the interlayer strength is less than 75 mJ, when such a multi-layered kraft paper is processed for bag making, the predetermined strength cannot be maintained, and as a square bottom bag or a shopping bag / envelope. It becomes difficult to play a role.

  Moreover, it is preferable that this multi-layered kraft paper 10 has a water shielding rate of 81% or more, more preferably 85% or more, as measured by a water shielding test method described later. When the water shielding rate is less than 81%, when the surface layer 11 is in contact with moisture for 24 hours or more, the moisture absorbed by the surface layer 11 passes through the middle layers 12 and 13, and further passes through the middle layer 14 and the back layer 15. It penetrates to the inner surface of the bag. As a result, the appearance of the bag is lowered, and the value such as cosmetics required for shopping is lowered. Further, when the surface layer 11 is in contact with moisture for a longer time, the strength of the bag is lowered, and the role as a handbag for shopping use or the like cannot be achieved.

  The multilayer kraft paper 10 preferably has a surface strength of 10 to 16A. If the surface strength is less than 10 A, the printability is poor. If it exceeds 16A, the quality becomes excessive and not economical.

  As described above, the present multilayered kraft paper 10 has been described with respect to the case where the paper layer is composed of five paper layers of the surface layer 11, the middle layers 12, 13, 14 and the back layer 15 as shown in FIG. The multi-layered kraft paper is not limited to such a paper layer structure, and is composed of, for example, a multi-layered kraft paper 20 composed of four paper layers as shown in FIG. 2, and a three-layer paper layer as shown in FIG. Multi-layered kraft paper 30 may be used.

  That is, the multi-layered kraft paper 20 shown in FIG. 2 is composed of four layers: a surface layer 11, two middle layers 12 and 13 that are shielding and concealing foam layers with water shielding properties, and one back layer 15. It is composed of paper layers. Thus, even if the middle layer is composed of only the foam layer, it is possible to obtain a multi-layer kraft paper imparted with the desired effect of the present invention. 3 is a three-layer paper of a surface layer 11, a middle layer 12 which is a foam layer having a shielding and concealing property which is provided with water shielding properties, and a back layer 15 which is one layer. It is composed of layers. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to obtain a multi-layer kraft paper to which the desired effect of the present invention is imparted. In addition, the multi-layered kraft paper according to the present invention may have six layers, seven layers,... By increasing the number of middle layers. In this case, at least one of the middle layers is shielded. If it is the foaming layer with the shielding concealing property to which water property was provided, the effect which this invention desires can be acquired.

  Also, the case where the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 is processed into a bag is described. However, the present multi-layered kraft paper 10 is formed into a bag so that the surface layer 11 is an inner surface and the back layer 15 is an outer surface. can do. As a result, the present multi-layered kraft paper having high brightness of the surface layer (inner surface) is obtained even when the desired back layer (outer surface) of the present invention is dark while having processing suitability for paper containers and the like. Can do.

  In order to confirm the effect of the present multi-layered kraft paper according to the present invention, the following various samples were prepared and a test for evaluating the quality of each sample was performed. In addition, in a present Example, the numerical value which shows a mixing | blending, a density | concentration, etc. is a numerical value of the solid content or the mass reference | standard of an active ingredient. Moreover, since the pulp, chemical | medical agent, etc. which are shown in a present Example are only examples, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention is not restrict | limited by these Examples, and can be selected suitably.

  In each of the examples and comparative examples, the viscosity (cps) of the foamed particle suspension was measured according to “Liquid Viscosity—Measurement Method” described in JIS-Z8803. Specifically, the foamed particle suspension is collected in a 50 ml container and rotated for 1 minute under the condition of a rotation speed of 60 rpm, and a B-type viscometer (Brookfield Inc., model: LVDV-E, single cylinder rotation) The viscosity was measured at 23 ° C. using a viscometer.

  The freeness and basis weight described in Table 1 were measured by the following method after delamination of each sample according to the following procedure.

  The delamination was performed according to the following procedure. First, each sample obtained from each sample is immersed in water at room temperature for about 1 hour. Each sample immersed in water is wound around a round bar of about 10 mmΦ starting from a corner, and then the round bar is rolled to squeeze each sample. This operation is repeated starting from all four corners of each sample, and the ironing force is applied to the sample from each direction. Thereby, a part of the layers of each sample is peeled off, and this is used to separate the surface layer 11, the middle layers 12, 13 and the back layer 15 to perform layer peeling. After delamination, each layer of each sample was sufficiently dried with a hot air dryer or the like and used for the test.

  The basis weight is measured based on “paper and paperboard—basis weight measurement method” described in JIS-P8142, and the basis weight of the middle layer is a value of the total basis weight of the middle layers 12 and 13.
