The present invention relates to a dispersant for talc (talc), and more particularly to a dispersant for preparing a stable and low-viscosity aqueous talc dispersion with a high talc content. Aqueous dispersions containing inorganic substances such as talc and kaolin (pottery clay) are used in a wide range of fields including paper manufacturing, paints, ceramics, and civil engineering and construction. Among these, a talc dispersion is added to an aqueous dispersion of a coating resin and applied to paper in order to improve surface properties such as gloss and printability of the paper. This application is done by machine coating, and because the processing speed is fast,
The coating agent used is required to have high concentration, low viscosity, and appropriate fluidity in order to shorten drying time, ease application, and reduce transportation costs. Therefore, there is a need for an aqueous talc dispersion that has a high talc content, is stable for a long period of time, and has a low viscosity. However, unlike pigments such as kaolin and calcium carbonate, which are also used in paper coating, talc is highly hydrophobic and has poor wettability with water. Preparing an aqueous talc dispersion using dispersants such as sodium polyacrylate and sodium hexametaphosphate, which have traditionally been used to disperse kaolin, calcium carbonate, etc., requires special equipment or a long period of time. Stirring and mixing are required, and the stability of the resulting aqueous dispersion is insufficient.Furthermore, when the talc content is high, the aqueous dispersion has a high viscosity and cannot be transported by pump, making it difficult to handle. Until now, it has been used as a dispersant for talc in JP-A-53-
102882 discloses a salt of a sulfated alkylphenol ethylene oxide adduct, but it does not improve the wettability of talc, and the viscosity of an aqueous dispersion containing a high talc content cannot be said to be sufficiently low. The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies with the aim of improving the dispersibility of talc, and have found that it is extremely effective to use an alkali metal salt of dialkyl sulfosuccinic acid in combination with a polyphosphate or polyacrylate as a dispersant. I found out. The alkyl group of the alkali metal salt of dialkyl sulfosuccinic acid used herein preferably has 5 to 11 carbon atoms, particularly a branched alkyl group having 8 or 9 carbon atoms, or a mixture thereof. When the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group is 4 or less, the effect of improving wettability and dispersibility is small, and conversely, when the number of carbon atoms is 12 or more, sufficient dispersion effect is not obtained due to poor solubility in water. I can't. Alkali metals used as alkali metal salts include lithium, sodium, potassium, etc., but sodium is generally used. As polyphosphates, alkali metal salts of polyphosphoric acid such as tripolyphosphoric acid and hexametaphosphoric acid are used, and as polyacrylates, alkali metal salts of polyacrylic acid are used, but in this case as well, the alkali metal salts are The use of sodium salts is common. The ratio of alkali metal salt of dialkylsulfosuccinic acid to polyphosphate or polyacrylate is:
95:5 to 50:50 (weight ratio) is preferred. The dispersant used in the present invention is suitably used in an amount of 0.08 to 2% by weight of dialkyl sulfosuccinate based on talc. When less than 0.08% by weight is used, the wettability of talc is insufficiently improved and the effect as a dispersant is insufficient. 2
Even if it is used in an amount exceeding 5% by weight, no significant increase in the dispersion effect is observed, which is economically disadvantageous. The dispersant of the present invention is effective against normally commercially available fine powdered talc, but especially with an average particle size of 2 to 2.
Great effect on 20μ ultra-fine powdered talc. In order to further improve the properties of the resulting aqueous dispersion, various additives can be used in conjunction with the dispersant of the invention. For example, an antifoaming agent such as silicone oil may be used in combination to prevent foaming of the aqueous dispersion. By using the dispersant of the present invention, an aqueous dispersion with a talc content as high as 60% by weight can be obtained, and the obtained aqueous talc dispersion has a low viscosity and is stable for a long period of time. In addition, operations such as pumping the aqueous dispersion and mixing with the coating resin aqueous dispersion are easy, and it is very easy to handle during use. Next, the present invention will be explained by examples. Example 1 Using a dispersant using a combination of the alkali metal salt of dialkyl sulfosuccinic acid and a polyphosphate or polyacrylate of the present invention, these alone, and a known dispersant, a talc content of more than 60% by weight was obtained. An aqueous dispersion of differentiated talc was prepared. Dissolve a predetermined amount of dispersant in water to make 200g, and add 300g of ultrafine powdered talc little by little while stirring (300RPM).
After the addition was completed, stirring was continued for another 10 minutes to obtain an aqueous dispersion. Its properties are shown in Table 1. To evaluate the wettability of talc, approx.
The determination was made by gently placing 0.1 g of talc and observing how the talc settled into the dispersant aqueous solution. The alkali metal salts of dialkyl sulfosuccinic acids used in the present invention used here are various dialkyl sulfosuccinates synthesized by conventional methods, and the polyphosphates and polyacrylates are commercially available products. Ultrafine powdered talc has a particle size of 20μ or less90
%, with a particle size distribution of 58% below 10μ and 26% below 5μ, with an average particle size of 9μ. From Table 1, it can be seen that the products using the dispersant of the present invention have excellent wettability, have a low particle size, and have excellent fluidity. Furthermore, those using known dispersants had poor viscosity and were paste-like.
