The present invention relates to acid-free paper with good sizing. More specifically, it does not contain sodium sulfate and has water solubility obtained by saponifying the vinyl acetate portion of a copolymer of a monomer represented by the following general formula (1) and vinyl acetate. The present invention relates to an acid-free paper having good sizing properties and containing 0.1 to 5% by weight of modified polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter polyvinyl alcohol is abbreviated as PVA). CH 2 =CH—O—R (1) However, R represents an alkyl group having 6 or more carbon atoms. Paper is a hydrophilic porous material whose main raw material is pulp, but it is not practical if it is simply made from pulp. Therefore, it is necessary to use various paper chemicals such as sizing agents and fillers to produce paper that can be used for practical purposes. There are many evaluation items for the practical physical properties of paper, including sizing, which includes bleeding of printing ink, permeability, bleeding of writing ink, and, if processing is performed on base paper, permeability of processing liquid and its accompanying effects. This is an important property that determines the physical properties of processed paper. Most of the conventionally used sized papers are produced by fixing a rosin-based sizing agent onto pulp fibers through the intervention of sulfuric acid. However, when sulfuric acid is used as a fixative, the paper becomes acidic due to the sulfate roots of sulfuric acid during the manufacturing process, which not only corrodes calender rolls, dryer rolls, and other metals that come into contact with it during the process. It can also have a negative effect on the strength and durability of the paper, and can also cause problems with certain types of printing. In addition, it is widely known that a major practical problem with paper made using banal sulfate soil is that metals that come into contact with it are extremely susceptible to rust. Various measures are required to prevent rust from forming on printing paper that is used for binding. Under these circumstances, increasing the size of acid-free paper made without adding sulfuric acid has recently come to the fore as a social need. On the other hand, PVA is a water-soluble polymer compound with excellent oil resistance and film-forming properties, and has been widely used as a surface sizing agent for paper and paperboard. It has been pointed out that the physical properties such as these are rather deteriorated. On the other hand, although it is known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 44-16802 that modified PVA in which higher alkyl vinyl ether is introduced into PVA is used for paper processing, it is not possible to use this to improve the size of neutral paper as mentioned above. No example has been disclosed so far of obtaining the same. In view of these circumstances, the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies to obtain neutral paper with good size properties.
0.1 to 5% by weight of water-soluble modified PVA obtained by saponifying the vinyl acetate part of the copolymer of the monomer shown in (1) and vinyl acetate.
Acid-free paper characterized by containing JIS-P-
8122 has an extremely high sizing degree of 10 seconds or more, and since it does not contain sulfuric acid, it has excellent strength, printability, and durability, and can be used in contact with metal. The inventors have completed the present invention by discovering that even in the form of the metal, excellent effects such as not causing any rusting to the metal can be achieved. CH 2 =CH—O—R (1) However, R represents an alkyl group having 6 or more carbon atoms. Furthermore, the neutral paper of the present invention has the advantage that it can contain calcium carbonate, which is a filler for paper manufacturing that is advantageous not only in terms of performance but also in terms of economy.
That is, as mentioned above, most of the rosin-based sizing agents, which are common paper-making sizing agents, are used under acidic conditions with silica sulfate, but when using the aforementioned advantageous calcium carbonate as a filler, This causes the inconvenience that calcium carbonate decomposes and foams. The neutral paper of the present invention also solves this problem, and by making it possible to use inexpensive calcium carbonate as a filler, it is possible to provide a neutral paper with excellent economic efficiency. The modified PVA contained in the neutral paper of the present invention is a water-soluble modified PVA obtained by saponifying the vinyl acetate portion of a copolymer of a monomer represented by the following general formula (1) and vinyl acetate. It is PVA. CH 2 =CH—O—R (1) Here, in formula (1), R is an alkyl group having 6 or more carbon atoms. If the number of carbon atoms in R is 5 or less, good performance cannot be obtained, probably because hydrophobicity is small. Examples of the monomer represented by the general formula (1) used in the present invention include octyl vinyl ether, lauryl vinyl ether, and stearyl vinyl ether. The monomer represented by general formula (1) differs depending on the number of carbon atoms, but for vinyl acetate,
It is preferable to use 0.05 to 1.5 mol%. If it is less than 0.05 mol%, no remarkable performance will be exhibited. Also 1.5
If it is used in excess of mol%, the water solubility of the modified PVA will decrease, which is not preferable. There is no problem in using a small proportion of other monomer components other than the monomer represented by general formula (1) in combination as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. Although it is desirable to completely saponify the vinyl acetate component in terms of physical properties such as water resistance and strength, a portion of the vinyl acetate component may be left unsaponified. The degree of polymerization of modified PVA is preferably 200 to 3000. A low degree of polymerization tends to be unfavorable in terms of physical properties, such as a decrease in strength. If the degree of polymerization is too high, exceeding 3000, the viscosity of the aqueous solution will increase, causing trouble in the coating process, which is not preferable. In the present invention, the modified PVA needs to be contained in an amount of 0.1 to 5% by weight based on the paper, for example, by a method such as coating, although this varies depending on the required performance of the paper. If it is less than 0.1% by weight, no remarkable performance will be exhibited. Moreover, using more than 5% by weight is not desirable for general purposes because it increases the cost of raw materials and chemicals. During application, the modification of the present invention is usually applied.
Although PVA alone can be used as an aqueous solution, modified PVA containing a carboxyl group or other modified PVA can be used as long as the purpose of the present invention is not impaired.
Furthermore, it may be used in combination with unmodified PVA. Further, for the purpose of preventing adhesion to the drying roll after coating, a release agent selected from the group of starch, wax emulsion, and various activators can be used in combination. Other polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin, diethylene glycol, and ethylene glycol, plasticizers, carboxymethyl cellulose, starch and its derivatives, synthetic water-soluble polymers such as styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers, styrene-acrylic acid copolymers, Furthermore, mineral pigments such as calcium carbonate, kaolinite clay, loite clay, and satin white can also be used in combination. The base paper used to obtain the neutral paper of the present invention may be obtained from softwood pulp, hardwood pulp, or a mixture thereof, and may further contain other fibers such as synthetic fibers, man-made fibers, and synthetic pulp. Moreover, not only virgin pulp but also broken paper, waste paper, etc. may be mixed. Furthermore, there is no problem in containing paper chemicals commonly used in the production of neutral paper, such as paper strength enhancers, water accelerators, antifoaming agents, clays, fillers such as calcium carbonate, etc. Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples. In the examples, parts are by weight unless otherwise specified. Example 1 A copolymer was obtained by polymerizing vinyl acetate and octyl vinyl ether or lauryl vinyl ether in a methanol solution using 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator. These copolymers were dissolved in methanol, saponified using sodium hydroxide as a catalyst, and purified by a conventional method to obtain modified PVA. Using 590 c.c. freeness beaten softwood bleached kraft pulp (NBKP), 1.0 g/m2 of the above modified PVA was added to base paper with a basis weight of 65 g/m 2 which was made using a hand paper machine without adding bansulfate. The sample was coated with a size press to a size of m2 , dried, and left in a test room at 20°C and 65% RH overnight, and the Steckigt sizing degree was measured according to JIS P-8122. The results are shown in Table-1. The size degree of the paper base paper is 0
The neutral paper of the present invention all showed a high sizing degree of 14 to 10 seconds. The results are shown in Table 1 Comparative Example 1 Modified PVA using the monomer represented by general formula (1)
The Steckigt sizing rate of the paper, which was carried out under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that ordinary unmodified PVA was applied without using PVA, was 0 seconds, and no sizing effect was observed. The results are also listed in Table-1.
