Description

  • The invention relates to a method for treating cellulose-containing fibers or planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers.
  • US 2004/0118540 A1 describes a papermaking process in which first a high molecular weight amine component having an NH2 concentration of at least 1.5 meq/g is introduced into the aqueous cellulose fiber mixture. Separately therefrom, a second component which can react with amino groups and which is either a polyanionic compound or an aldehyde-functional polymer is then added.
  • A paper product having increased strength is claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,824,650 B2. The product contains a combination of a polyvinylamine and a complexing agent selected from an aldehyde-functional polymer and a polyelectrolyte. The paper product is strengthened by reaction of polyvinylamine with the complexing agent.
  • Articles which contain cellulose of which at least part was chemically modified and where a further chemical has formed chemical bonds are claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,916,402 B2. The chemical modification of the cellulose can be carried out with compounds which contain aldehyde, epoxy or anhydride groups, while the further chemical then contains amino, thiol, amido, sulfonamide or sulfinic acid groups—or vice versa.

  • Since the increase in the wet strength of cellulose-containing products is preferably effected in the wet-end region as a result of production, it is advantageous if the organosiloxane polymers used in the method according to the invention are soluble or at least dispersible in water.

  • Figure US20090260769A1-20091022-C00004
  • in which
    R4 has the meaning stated above therefor.
  • In the method according to the invention, the aminosilicon compounds (i) are reacted in a first stage with acetoacetyl compounds (ii) of the tautomeric forms (VIIa) or (VIIb) and are reacted in a subsequent second stage with diketenes (iii). This reaction sequence can be advantageously carried out in a one-pot process. A particularly preferred procedure is the upstream preparation of compound (ii) from the parent compounds (iv) by reacting these with diketenes (iii), after which aminosilicon compounds (i) are metered in at the end of the reaction and the organosilicon compounds (2c) according to the invention are then obtained in a particularly economical method by further metering in of diketenes (iii) after the reaction thereof.
  • Preferred examples of Si—C-bonded amino groups A of the formula (VI) are
      • H2N—C2H4—NH—CH2—

      • H2N—C2H4—NH—C4H8—
        R2 is preferably a hydrogen atom.
        R3 is particularly preferably an alkylene radical having 2 to 6 carbon atoms.
        R4 is preferably a hydrogen atom.
  • Z preferably has a weight-based heteroatom content of at least 20% and particularly preferably at least 25%.
  • Preferred aminosilicon compounds (i) are organopoly-siloxanes having at least one Si—C-bonded radical A of the formula (VI).
  • Preferred aminosilicon compounds (i) are organopoly-siloxanes of the general formula

  • AgR3-gSiO(SiR2O)l(SiRAO)kSiR3-gAg  (IXa),

  • (R′O )R2SiO(SiR2O)l(SiRAO)kSiR2(OR′)  (IXb)
  • in which A has the meaning stated above therefor,
    R is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 18 C atoms,
    R′ is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 18 C atoms, preferably a hydrogen atom,
    g is 0 or 1,
    k is 0 or an integer from 1 to 30 and
    l is 0 or an integer from 1 to 1000,
    with the proviso that at least one radical A is present per molecule.
  • Aminosilicon compounds (i) preferably contain amino group concentrations in the range of 0.01 to about 10 meq/g, in particular from about 0.05 to 5 meq/g. Preferred viscosities are in the range from about 100 to 50 000 mPa·s at 25° C., the range 500 to 10 000 mPa·s at 25° C. being particularly preferred.
  • The aminosilicon compounds (i) are preferably used without prior conversion of the amino groups by means of protective group reagents, such as aldehydes or ketones.
  • The aminosilicon compounds (i) are preferably prepared from “diamino” monomers, such as aminoethylamino-propyl- or aminoethylaminoisobutylsilanes, the Si—C— bonded amino group A containing both a primary and a secondary amino radical, bonded to the same Si atom. In the radicals A, preferably the primary amino radicals react with the compounds (ii), the secondary amino radicals being retained as basic centers.
  • The compounds (ii) can be used as reactants for the aminosilicon compound (i) in two tautomeric forms of the formulae (VIIa) and (VIIb).
  • The compounds (ii) are preferably obtained by reacting the parent compounds (iv) of the formula (E2)xZ-Y (X), which are saturated with hydrogen at the free valencies,
  • in which E2, Z, Y and x have the meanings stated above therefor, with diketenes, acetylketenes, alkyl-diketenes, diketene-acetone adducts or acetoacetates, preferably with diketenes or their acetone adducts, by methods known in the literature.
  • The radical “Z” is defined as an organic radical which, owing to its bifunctionality to hexafunctionality, is linked to 2 to 6 further groups E or Y: the sum of “E” plus “Y” corresponds in its numerical value to this bifunctionality to hexafunctionality. In the simplest case, which is also preferred, “Z” is bifunctional, i.e. divalent. In this case, “Z” is bonded either to two Y groups or to one Y group and one monofunctional terminal group. Monofunctional terminal groups may be saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 18 C atoms or acyl radicals, such as the acetate, butyrate, palmitate or stearate radical, as well as the acrylate, methacrylate or benzoate radical.
  • The radical “Z” has a heteroatom content of at least 10% by weight. Heteroatoms are selected from the group consisting of the O, N, B, P and S atoms; preferably O and N atoms, particularly preferably O atoms. The radical “Z” has the function of introducing higher polarity and hence a higher degree of hydrophilicity into the organosilicon compounds (1) according to the invention, and it is for this reason that a relatively high content of heteroatoms is preferred. The radical “Z” is particularly preferably a polyether or polyester. Examples of polyethers are polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide or polybutylene oxide (also poly-THF) and also copolymers of the general formula (CaH2aO)nCaH2a where a=2, 3 or 4 and n is an integer from 1 to 500, preferably from 1 to 100 and particularly preferably from 5 to 60.
  • Trifunctional to hexafunctional radicals “Z” are usually started from alcohols of the same functionality as well as from amines. Thus, trimethylolpropane or ammonia gives, with ethylene oxide, parent compounds (iv) with “Z” of the general formula C2H5C[CH2(OC2H4)m/3]3 or N [C2H4 (OC2H4)(m-1)/3]3, in which m is the total number of moles of ethylene oxide, preferably 5 to 100, the free valencies of which are linked to oxygen atoms (Y) which in turn are saturated with hydrogen. For the preparation of parent compounds (iv) having a higher functionality, the correspondingly more highly functionalized carbinol or amino compounds are usually used: tetrafunctionality from pentaerythritol or ethylenediamine, hexa-functionality from sorbitol or tris(aminoethyl)amine.
  • Corresponding polyesters can be prepared from identical or similar starter compounds by ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters (lactones) by generally known methods. Preferred parent compounds (iv) are polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol and the copolymers thereof, and the monoalkyl ethers thereof. The latter are a special case where “Y” is oxygen and “E” is an alkyl group (methyl, alkyl, butyl). With regard to the conversion into compounds (ii), these parent compounds (iv) are monofunctional. Compared with the aminosilicon compounds (i), the compounds (ii) prepared therefrom are likewise monofunctional and accordingly serve for saturating amino groups with polar polymers.
  • In contrast, bifunctional reactants (ii) which have a chain-extending effect with respect to likewise bifunctional aminosilicon compounds (i), i.e. which contain two amino groups A per molecule, are obtained from polyalkylene glycols. In this way, it is also possible to obtain branched products (2c) provided that the aminosilicon compounds (i) contain at least three amino groups A per molecule. An alternating siloxane-polyether structure forms.
  • The surprisingly high selectivity of the compounds (ii) having primary amino radicals in the amino groups A of the aminosilicon compounds (i) permits virtually complete conversion of the H2N radicals into enamines, and it is for this reason that a stoichiometric ratio of primary NH2 radicals in amino groups A of compounds (i) to acetoacetyl groups in compounds (ii) close to 1.0 is preferably used in the first stage of the method for the preparation of (2c). This ratio is particularly preferably 0.8 to 1.0. However, it may also be above 1.0. In this case, not all primary amino radicals are converted, which are then however additionally available for reaction with diketenes (iii). This procedure is technically possible but is not preferred.
  • In the method for the preparation of (2c), the acetone adducts of diketenes (iii) can also be used as said diketenes. Preferably used diketenes (iii) are
  • Figure US20090260769A1-20091022-C00005
  • or their acetone adducts.
  • In the method for the preparation of (2c), the stoichiometric ratio of secondary —NH groups in amino groups A of compounds (i) to diketenes (iii) is 5:1 to 0.5:1, preferably 2:1 to 0.8:1, in the subsequent reaction with diketenes (iii). A ratio of about 1:1 is particularly preferred.
  • The method for the preparation (2c) can be effected in the presence of organic solvents or the products (2c) according to the invention can be diluted with organic solvents.
  • The reaction of the compounds (ii) with aminosilicon compounds (i) in the first stage of the method for the preparation of (2c) takes place spontaneously even without external heating but supply of heat accelerates the synthesis of (2c).
  • The method for the preparation of (2c) is preferably carried out at temperatures of 10 to 100° C., preferably 40 to 80° C. Furthermore, the method is preferably carried out at the pressure of the ambient atmosphere but can also be carried out at higher and lower pressures.
  • The treatment of the cellulose-containing fibers or planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers can be effected in two different variants of the method.
  • In one variant of the method, the treatment of the cellulose-containing fibers or planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers is effected preferably first with (1) compounds having at least two primary amino groups and subsequently with (2) compounds having at least one β-ketocarbonyl group.
  • The application of the compound (2) is effected only after the action of the compound (1) on the cellulose-containing fibers or planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers.
  • In a second variant of the method, the treatment of the cellulose-containing fibers or planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers is preferably effected with a mixture of (1) compounds having at least two primary amino groups and (2) compounds having at least one β-ketocarbonyl group, the mixture of (1) and (2) being prepared before the treatment. Thus, a premix of (1) and (2) is first prepared and the premix is then applied to the cellulose-containing fibers or planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers.
  • In the method according to the invention, compounds (1) and (2) are used in amounts such that the compounds (1) are used in amounts of preferably 0.1 to 1000 mol, preferably 0.5 to 500 mol, particularly preferably 1.1 to 500 mol of amino group, based in each case on 1 mol of β-ketocarbonyl group in compounds (2).
  • Examples of cellulose-containing fibers which are treated according to the invention are all cellulose-containing fibers and all aqueous cellulose-containing slurries from which paper products can be produced, such as bleached fibers, recycled fibers, fibers which are produced via chemical digestion methods, such as the sulfate or sulfite method, fibers which are produced from vegetable raw materials (fibrous plants) and which have a sufficient cellulose content, and mechanical pulps which are produced predominantly by mechanical defibration of wood. The cellulose fiber-containing materials are materials such as wood, grass fibers, straw, bamboo, corn fibers and hemp, in each case in any desired forms, such as scraps, chips or sawdust.
  • Examples of planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers are all paper products produced from cellulose-containing fibers, such as paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, kitchen paper, paper napkins, facial tissues.
  • The paper to be treated according to the invention may be low-quality paper varieties, such as absorptive papers, including base paper, i.e. kraft paper not pretreated with chemicals and/or polymeric natural substances having a weight of 60 to 150 g/m2, unsized papers, paper having a low freeness, wood-containing papers, unglazed or uncalendered papers, papers which are smooth on one side owing to the use of a calendar stack in their production without further expensive measures and are therefore referred to as “papers machine-finished on one side”, uncoated papers and papers produced from paper waste, i.e. so-called waste papers. However, the paper to be treated according to the invention can of course also be high-quality paper varieties, such as low-absorption papers, sized papers, papers having a high freeness, wood-free papers, calendered or glazed papers, glassine papers, parchmentized papers or precoated papers. The boards may also be of high or low quality.
  • Preferably, the compounds (1) and (2) are used in the form of aqueous solutions or aqueous dispersions in the treatment of the cellulose-containing fibers or planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers. In the aqueous solutions or aqueous dispersions, compound (1) is preferably present in amounts of 0.1 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.2 to 10% by weight.
  • In the aqueous solutions or aqueous dispersions, compound (2) is preferably present in amounts of 0.1 to 50% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 20% by weight.
  • The treatment of cellulose-containing fibers or planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers can be effected by the methods known in the prior art, in particular by the methods known in the production and finishing of paper products, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,824,650 B2, column 12, line 1 to column 13, line 15.
  • The production of paper products as treated according to the invention is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,824,650 B2, column 15, line 20 to column 19, line 11.
  • Some possible treatments are mentioned by way of example:
  • The treatment can be effected by metering the compounds (1) and (2)—either individually in successive steps or together as a premix of (1) and (2)—into the aqueous cellulose-containing fiber slurry from which the planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers, such as paper products, are produced or during the concentration or drying process.
  • The treatment can also be effected by spraying the compounds (1) and (2)—either individually in successive spraying steps or together as a premix of (1) and (2)—onto the planar structures containing cellulose-containing fibers, such as paper products. The planar structures may be moist or dry during the process.

    • EXAMPLES Compound (I)
  • All tests relate to the combination of (1) with various compounds (2). Exclusively Lupamin 9095 (BASF), a high molecular weight polyvinylformamide having a degree of hydrolysis of about 95% and an amino group concentration of about 3.8 meq/g for the 20% strength aqueous solution (commercial product) was used as compound (1).
    • Preparation Examples for the Compound (2) Example 1
  • 73.1 g of N,N,N,N-tetrakis(2-hydroxypropyl)ethylene-diamine are heated to 50° C. Thereafter, 92 g of diketene are metered in with cooling so that the temperature of the reaction mixture is kept between 50 and 70° C. The reaction is allowed to continue for a further hour and excess diketene is removed in vacuo at 100° C. A pale orange product having an acetoacetate content of 6.3 meq/g is obtained.
    • Example 2
  • 250.5 g of a trimethylsilyl-terminated aminosiloxane which contains dimethylsilyloxy and aminoethylamino-propylmethylsilyloxy units and has a concentration of 2.24% by weight of basic nitrogen are mixed with 411.4 g of a polyether acetyl acetate of the average formula CH3O(C2H4O)19.4(C3H6O)17.1C(═O)—CH2C(═O)—CH3 and heated to 70° C. On clarification, the viscosity of the reaction mixture increases sharply, whereupon 70 g of isopropanol are metered in. At 70° C., 16.8 g of diketene are slowly added dropwise, followed by altogether a further 156 g of isopropanol after a further hour. The high-viscosity product has a solids content of 75% and an acetoacetamide content of 0.22 meq/g.
    • Example 3
  • 400 g of 75% strength solution obtained in example 2 are homogeneously mixed with 0.75 g of isophoronediamine at 25° C. and slowly heated to 40° C. With a considerable increase in viscosity, a clear, high-viscosity polymer solution having an acetoacetamide content of 0.20 meq/g is obtained in 2 hours.
    • Example 4
  • 13.3 g of the 75% strength solution obtained in example 2 are homogeneously mixed with 10.0 g of the diacetoacetate of PEG 1000 and diluted with isopropanol to 200 g. The clear solution contains 0.105 meq/g of β-ketocarbonyl groups per g.
    • Example 5
  • 0.1 g of triethylamine and thereafter 20.6 g of diketene are slowly metered into 200 g of a silicone polyether prepared from 2 parts of allylpolyether of the formula CH2═CH—CH2O(C2H4O)10H and 1 part of hydrogen-siloxane of the formula HO(HSiMeO)14.3(SiMe2O)60H. After an exothermic reaction, the batch is kept at 70° C. for a further hour. A pale brownish product which has a viscosity of about 20 000 mm2/s in undiluted form is obtained. The concentration of acetoacetate is 1.10 meq/g.
    • Example 6
  • 50 g of the polymeric acetoacetate obtained in example 5 are further condensed at 100° C. after dropwise addition of 0.2 g of a 10% strength solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid in THF, with the result that a gel-like high polymer which is soluble in the same amount of isopropanol to give a clear solution is obtained. The 50% strength solution contains aceto-acetate groups at a level of 0.55 meq/g.
    • Example 7
  • By dilution of a commercially available aqueous solution (Lupamin 9095, BASF) of a high molecular weight polyvinylamine (about 19 meq of NH2 per g) with the same amount of water, a 10% strength solution is prepared. 6.0 g of a 10% strength aqueous solution of the diacetoacetate of PEG 2000 are added to 200 g of this dilution and homogeneously mixed. After 3 days, a clear aqueous solution which no longer contains detectable acetoacetate is obtained. The mixture is a ready-to-use one-component formulation of the compounds (1) and (2). The molar ratio of amino to acetoacetate groups is about 700:1.
    • Example 8
  • For the preparation of a 10% strength aqueous solution of the combination of compounds (1) with an exclusively monofunctional compound (2), 24 g of Lupamin 9095 (BASF), 67.2 g of water and 4.8 g of ethyl acetoacetate are mixed in succession. A clear colorless mixture is obtained, to which 0.65 g of acetic acid is added after 24 hours. The mixing ratio of amino to acetoacetate groups is about 2.5:1.
    • Example 9 Dry and Wet Strength Tests
  • The dry and wet strength of paper towels is tested.
  • Regardless of the preparation process, all examples of the compounds (2) are used as a 10% strength aqueous solution. This also applies to the one-component formulation of examples 7 and 8.
  • In the case of two-component applications, the polyamine (1) is in principle applied first as a 1% strength aqueous solution by the spray process described below and is dried at 105° C. for 5 minutes. The active substance application of compound (1) is stated in the table and is 0.5 or 0.9% by weight, based on the dry weight of the paper towel.
  • The substrate, the paper towel, is preconditioned therewith.
  • The specified paper towel having a very low tensile strength is cut to a size of 1×w=15×35 cm. This is placed without creases in a vertical clamping apparatus and sprayed uniformly (3×per sheet of paper towel) from top to bottom using a Sata 200 Dekor spray gun. The settings on the spray gun always remain the same and are 2 bar compressed air with a spray nozzle of 0.5 mm. Depending on amount of product and type, this process is repeated until 4.8-5.2% by weight of active product (=compound (2)) is present on the paper towel. In the table, the active substance application of compound (2) is stated in % by weight, based on the dry weight of the paper towel. This product application is determined by weighing the uncoated and the wet paper towel. The product application is effected on one side. Thereafter, the coated paper towel is dried at 105° C. for 5 min.

  • Description of the dry breaking strength (cf. DIN EN 29 073 part 3 or ISO 9073-3):
  • The paper towel to be tested is cut into at least 10 strips having a minimum length of 152 mm and a width of 25 mm in the running direction.
  • Five test specimens thereof are used for measuring the dry breaking strength and 5 for the wet strength.
  • The test specimens are clamped in the ZWICK 1446 tensile tester, likewise in the running direction, and the following parameters are set:
  • traction speed=0.21 mm/s (12.7 mm/min)
    sample length=152 mm (6 inches)
  • By starting the tester, the force in F-Max [N or g/force], the elongation at F-max [%] and the resulting area (load-elongation curve) TEA or energy up to breaking in [J] are recorded.
  • By inputting the weight, it is also possible to determine the tensile force per tex in cn/tex. This process is repeated at least 5 times and the mean value and standard deviation of each parameter is determined.
  • Description of the wet breaking strength (cf. DIN ISO 3781):
  • In the measurement of the wet breaking strength, the paper towel is moistened in the middle by brief immersion in demineralized water to at least 25 mm to not more than 50 mm. The ends remain dry for clamping. (Cf. also point 8.2 in DIN ISO 3781.) The evaluation and settings are the same as for the dry breaking strength method.
  • The energy (in Joule) absorbed by the test strips was compared with the blank sample (TEA=2) and the strips treated only with polyamine (1) (TEA=6 and 9), comparative experiments 1 and 2, respectively. The improvement in the wet strength of the test strips by the additional compound (2) is clear from the higher TEA values, with improved soft handle throughout in the comparison with the test strips treated only with (1). In most cases, even an improvement in the soft handle compared with the blank sample is achieved.
  • All test strips proved to be hydrophilic with drop absorption times of less than two seconds.
