Definitions
- the protective'ioil consists, according to the invention of a cellulose foil which is coated with a layer becoming adhesive and plastic in the warm but being at ordinary temperature solid and not sticky, which layer is applied preferably only to one side of the foil.
- a protective foil can be durably attached to posters, drawings, labels, geographical maps, pictures or other inscribed, printed or painted papers or other foundation materials without the aid of special apparatus and merely by smoothing it with a moderately warm iron and it imparts to these foundation materials a surface showing the desired brilliancy and which can be cleaned when necessary by dusting off or mopping up without being scratched.
- a further advantage of these foils consists in that the cellulose layer which is turned away from the poster or other substratum during the pasting on and to which 5 the heat iron is applied is infusible so that, during the action of the iron, only the coating layer which is turned towards the substratum becomes sticky and plastic and serves for uniting the cellulose foil to the substratum.
- the cellulose foil employed for the purpose of the invention may be a transparent foil of cellulose hydrate which may be colourless or coloured. Also parchment paper, pergamyne or other transparent or translucent papers may be used, for instance, when lustreless surface effects are desired. It is also advantageous to employ foils of cellulose hydrate provided with a waterproof lacquer coating on one side or on both the sides.
- the applying of the adhesive layer can be effected to all these foils by means of a lacquering roller machine or of a spraying device or even by hand.
- the thickness of the coating layer being solid at the ordinary temperature of about 20 Celsius and becoming adhesive only in the warm may be 0.01mm. to 0.1 mm, preferably 0.03 mm. whilst the cellulose foil to be coated with this layer may possess a thickness of 0.02 mm. to 0.04 mm., mostly of 0.025 mm.
- the coating layer may consist of a cellulose derivative, for instance of a cellulose ester or cellulose ether, with or without the addition of plasticizers or resins or of resins as well as of plasticizers. Also synthetic or natural resins or polymerization products or condensation products may be employed as coating mass with or without the addition of plasticizers, oils or similar substances. All these substances must show the property of becoming plastic in the warm and exerting then a sticking but being at ordinary temperature solid and not tacky. For the purpose of applying, these masses may be dissolved by means of suitable solvents or they may be brought by means of heat into a softened or molten state.
- the cellulose foil provided with the coating layer is rolled up after the drying and cooling or is immediately cut to appropriate sizes. The protective foil is then fit for immediate use and can be delivered to the consumer according to requirement. The consumer can 5 unite firmly and durably the protective foil with the substratum to be coated simply by pressing down it with a hot iron.
- a cellulose derivative of low viscosity for instance, a cellulose ether or a cellulose ester of low viscosity for forming the adhesive layer.
- the use of a cellulose derivative of low viscosity provokes. a low softening temperature and an easy flowing of the adhesive layer when the protective foil is applied to the substratum, and, furthermore, the obtaining of a sure attachment of this foil to the substratum is facilitated.
- resins and plasticizers are used, these additions are adjusted so that, when melted, the cellulose derivative is retained in solution therein and no cloudinesses or precipitations in the coating film appear on the cellulose foil.
- a resin whicheither in itself or in association with the plasticizer dissolves the cellulose derivative in the melt.
- a plasticizer having a high solvent capacity for the cellulose derivative concerned.
- the optimum relative proportions of the components of the adhesive layer consisting of cellulose derivate of low viscosity, resin and plasticizer may vary somewhat according to the nature of the several constituents employed, but the quantities referred to the dry matter of the coating layer should be approximately from 30 to 60% of cellulose derivative of low viscosity, from 10 to 60% of natural -or synthetic resin and from 15 to 50% of plasticizer.
- the ratio of the amount of cellulose derivative to the amount of the mixture of resin and plasticizer preferably ranges between about 60:40 and 40:60 or 30:70, calculated upon the total amount of these three components.
- the plasticizer may be entirely omitted and the coating layer made up on the basis of cellulose derivative and resin only.
- nitrocellulose is employed as the cellulose derivative for the coating layer, it is preferable to select a nitrocellulose of low viscosity, particularly the type E 510 or E 620, which is kept in clear solution in the warm by means of a mixture of ester resins and tricresylphosphate or of polyvinylacetate and dibutylphthalate, for example, at temperatures from to or from to Celsius such having been found suitable for applying protective foils according to the invention to foundations.
- a nitrocellulose showing a viscosity of 2 poises in this solution is above all advantageous.
- the coating masses containing such nitrocelluloses have viscosities between 10 and.100 poises, particularly a viscosity of 30 poises, at 20 Celsius.
- Cellulose ethers of low viscosity and such cellulose esters with organic acid radicles already display in themselves a higher plasticity than nitrocellulose, and consequently when they are employed the viscosity may be slightly higher, for instance, up to 10 poises in a 10% solution than in the case of nitrocelluloses.
- the mass which becomes adhesive in the warm and is to be applied in a very thin layer to the cellulose foil must be as colourless as possible so that the substratum is visible in its real colours through the protective foil applied thereto.
- the coating mass In order to realize this condition which is desirable also in other cases for obtaining a satisfying transparence of the protective foil, the coating mass must be composed'of constituents which produce after the evaporation of the solvent a coating layer as clear as glass upon the cellulose foil. Therefore, when using nitrocelluloses, it is advantageous to select an extremely high-bleached collodion wool.
- the coating layer applied to the cellulose foil is free from waxes because an addition of wax provokes a reduction of the adhesive power and of the binding capacity of the coating layer in hot condition, which efiect is incompatible with a protective foil which must be firmly adhered to the substratum.
- the production of a coating layer as clear as glass upon the transparent cellulose foil depends also on the nature of the resin contained in the coating mass. It has been found advantageous to specially select the commercial resins, for instance, dammar resins for the purposes of the invention and to free them from their colour constituents before use. There may be employed above all the resin type known in commerce under the name of Batavia dammar A which is freed from its colour constituents and at the same time also from wax additions in the following way: 10 kg. of this resin are finely broken and dissolved in a kneading apparatus together with 2.5 kg. toluol to a thick paste. When the mass has been completely dissolved which is the case after 2 to 3 hours, the wax is precipitated by adding 7.5 kg. ethyl-alcohol. Because the filtering causes certain difficulties, one decants during several days and extracts the clear solution.
- the yield is 16 kg. solution with 48% content of purified dammar resin.
- the perfectly colourless polymerization products prepared from vinyl esters or from esters of acrylic acid and the condensation products, for instance, the products of condensation of urea with formaldehyde are specially suitable for producing the coating layer to be applied to cellulose foils according to the invention.
- solutions having a high content of dry matter which may be more than 30%, preferably 50% of the solution.
- Examples 1 An endless foil of cellulose-hydrate which is provided with a Waterproof lacquer coating on one side or on both the sides is coated on the one side by means of lacquering coating machine The coating layer is applied in such a thickness that the dried coating film covering the cellulosehydrate foil has a thickness of 0.05 mm. After the cooling of the coating film, the cellulosehydrate foil is rolled up in the usual way or it is cut to the required sizes and is then fit for immediate, use. The attaching of the protective foil to the substratum can be effected by means of a hot iron having a surface temperature of about to 120 Celsius.
- the cellulose-hydrate foil provided with the lacquer film can be easily united between hot cylinders with posters, papers and the like at about Celsius and imparts a surface of high brilliancy to these foundations.
- the lacquer thus obtained contains, calculated upon the dry matter, 46% nitrocellulose and 54% resin-plasticizer. It is applied by means of a spreading machine upon posters, paperboards, leather and other foundations.
- a lacquer of a very high concentration is obtained by mixing together Percent Nitrocellulose of low viscosity 26 Dammar resin 8 Amylphthalate 17 Alcohol 10 Ethyl acetate 27 Toluene 12 The ratio of the'amount of cellulose derivative to the amount of the mixture of resin and plasticizer is 51:49 in this lacquer which may be employed in the same manner as the solution of Example 1 for coating a cellulose foil.

Description
Patented Sept. 1, 1936 PATENT OFFICE PROTECTIVE CELLULOSE FOIL Hans Isaac Schulz and Julius Appel, Bomlitz,
near Walsrode, Germany No Drawing.
Application November 2, 1935,.
Serial No. 48,055. In Germany March 7, 1932 3 Claims.
It has been found advantageous to provide advertising placards, such as are hung out in railway cars, shop-windows or taverns, with a brilliant coating layer improving the colour effect and allowing an easy cleaning of the placards.
Hitherto, these brilliant placards are manufac tured either by lacquering the printed layers by means of alcoholic varnishes whereby, however, the protective coating becomes irregularly brilliant and very delicate, or by applying to the papers a transparent ioil of celluloid whereby, it is true, a practically satisfying protective coating is obtained, but also the dangerous storing of more or less large quantities of easily inflammable foils of celluloid is necessitated. Also the coating of the papers with the not inflammable foils of acetyl cellulose involves difiiculties because the working by means of heat, necessary in this case, provokes a smelting of the whole mass of the protective foil of acetyl cellulose which easily adheres in this state to the coating tools and soils same. Furthermore it has been attempted to employ foils of cellulose which do not melt in the heat for coating purposes by impregnating these foils on both their sides with special varnishes and by uniting then the lacquered foils with the placard, but this method requires the use of expensive machines of complicated construction and, moreover, provokes considerable losses of material because these heat coating machines suppose a determined Working breadth of the protective foils and therefore, always leaves unused, according to the size of the placards, a more or less large strip on the edge of the foils.
The invention has now in view to solve the problem of manufacturing a protective foil which avoids the drawbacks of the hitherto known methods of coating papers and the like. To this end; the protective'ioil consists, according to the invention of a cellulose foil which is coated with a layer becoming adhesive and plastic in the warm but being at ordinary temperature solid and not sticky, which layer is applied preferably only to one side of the foil. Such a protective foil can be durably attached to posters, drawings, labels, geographical maps, pictures or other inscribed, printed or painted papers or other foundation materials without the aid of special apparatus and merely by smoothing it with a moderately warm iron and it imparts to these foundation materials a surface showing the desired brilliancy and which can be cleaned when necessary by dusting off or mopping up without being scratched. Furthermore the use of such protective foils is economical because the operator can himself out the pieces to the required sizes and thus utilize the sheet of foil to the best advantage. A further advantage of these foils consists in that the cellulose layer which is turned away from the poster or other substratum during the pasting on and to which 5 the heat iron is applied is infusible so that, during the action of the iron, only the coating layer which is turned towards the substratum becomes sticky and plastic and serves for uniting the cellulose foil to the substratum.
The cellulose foil employed for the purpose of the invention may be a transparent foil of cellulose hydrate which may be colourless or coloured. Also parchment paper, pergamyne or other transparent or translucent papers may be used, for instance, when lustreless surface effects are desired. It is also advantageous to employ foils of cellulose hydrate provided with a waterproof lacquer coating on one side or on both the sides. The applying of the adhesive layer can be effected to all these foils by means of a lacquering roller machine or of a spraying device or even by hand. The thickness of the coating layer being solid at the ordinary temperature of about 20 Celsius and becoming adhesive only in the warm may be 0.01mm. to 0.1 mm, preferably 0.03 mm. whilst the cellulose foil to be coated with this layer may possess a thickness of 0.02 mm. to 0.04 mm., mostly of 0.025 mm.
The coating layer may consist of a cellulose derivative, for instance of a cellulose ester or cellulose ether, with or without the addition of plasticizers or resins or of resins as well as of plasticizers. Also synthetic or natural resins or polymerization products or condensation products may be employed as coating mass with or without the addition of plasticizers, oils or similar substances. All these substances must show the property of becoming plastic in the warm and exerting then a sticking but being at ordinary temperature solid and not tacky. For the purpose of applying, these masses may be dissolved by means of suitable solvents or they may be brought by means of heat into a softened or molten state. The cellulose foil provided with the coating layer is rolled up after the drying and cooling or is immediately cut to appropriate sizes. The protective foil is then fit for immediate use and can be delivered to the consumer according to requirement. The consumer can 5 unite firmly and durably the protective foil with the substratum to be coated simply by pressing down it with a hot iron.
It is advantageous to employ a cellulose derivative of low viscosity, for instance, a cellulose ether or a cellulose ester of low viscosity for forming the adhesive layer. The use of a cellulose derivative of low viscosity provokes. a low softening temperature and an easy flowing of the adhesive layer when the protective foil is applied to the substratum, and, furthermore, the obtaining of a sure attachment of this foil to the substratum is facilitated. If additions of resins and plasticizers are used, these additions are adjusted so that, when melted, the cellulose derivative is retained in solution therein and no cloudinesses or precipitations in the coating film appear on the cellulose foil. It is preferable to select a resin whicheither in itself or in association with the plasticizer dissolves the cellulose derivative in the melt. Furthermore, it is preferable to employ a plasticizer having a high solvent capacity for the cellulose derivative concerned.
The optimum relative proportions of the components of the adhesive layer consisting of cellulose derivate of low viscosity, resin and plasticizer may vary somewhat according to the nature of the several constituents employed, but the quantities referred to the dry matter of the coating layer should be approximately from 30 to 60% of cellulose derivative of low viscosity, from 10 to 60% of natural -or synthetic resin and from 15 to 50% of plasticizer. The ratio of the amount of cellulose derivative to the amount of the mixture of resin and plasticizer preferably ranges between about 60:40 and 40:60 or 30:70, calculated upon the total amount of these three components. If the resin possesses in the liquid condition a sufiiciently high solvent power for the cellulose derivative, such as is, for example, the case with certain resins for nitrocellulose, the plasticizer may be entirely omitted and the coating layer made up on the basis of cellulose derivative and resin only.
If nitrocellulose is employed as the cellulose derivative for the coating layer, it is preferable to select a nitrocellulose of low viscosity, particularly the type E 510 or E 620, which is kept in clear solution in the warm by means of a mixture of ester resins and tricresylphosphate or of polyvinylacetate and dibutylphthalate, for example, at temperatures from to or from to Celsius such having been found suitable for applying protective foils according to the invention to foundations. Suitable types of nitrocellulose of low viscosity-when such are employed-are preferably such as exhibit a viscosity between 0.5 and 9 poisesc. g. s. unitsat 20 Celsius when measured in a 10% solution in pure butyl acetate. A nitrocellulose showing a viscosity of 2 poises in this solution is above all advantageous. The coating masses containing such nitrocelluloses have viscosities between 10 and.100 poises, particularly a viscosity of 30 poises, at 20 Celsius. Cellulose ethers of low viscosity and such cellulose esters with organic acid radicles, already display in themselves a higher plasticity than nitrocellulose, and consequently when they are employed the viscosity may be slightly higher, for instance, up to 10 poises in a 10% solution than in the case of nitrocelluloses.
When coating posters showing quite White or very pale colours or similar foundations with transparent protective foils, the mass which becomes adhesive in the warm and is to be applied in a very thin layer to the cellulose foil must be as colourless as possible so that the substratum is visible in its real colours through the protective foil applied thereto. In order to realize this condition which is desirable also in other cases for obtaining a satisfying transparence of the protective foil, the coating mass must be composed'of constituents which produce after the evaporation of the solvent a coating layer as clear as glass upon the cellulose foil. Therefore, when using nitrocelluloses, it is advantageous to select an extremely high-bleached collodion wool. Furthermore, it is of importance that the coating layer applied to the cellulose foil is free from waxes because an addition of wax provokes a reduction of the adhesive power and of the binding capacity of the coating layer in hot condition, which efiect is incompatible with a protective foil which must be firmly adhered to the substratum.
The production of a coating layer as clear as glass upon the transparent cellulose foil depends also on the nature of the resin contained in the coating mass. It has been found advantageous to specially select the commercial resins, for instance, dammar resins for the purposes of the invention and to free them from their colour constituents before use. There may be employed above all the resin type known in commerce under the name of Batavia dammar A which is freed from its colour constituents and at the same time also from wax additions in the following way: 10 kg. of this resin are finely broken and dissolved in a kneading apparatus together with 2.5 kg. toluol to a thick paste. When the mass has been completely dissolved which is the case after 2 to 3 hours, the wax is precipitated by adding 7.5 kg. ethyl-alcohol. Because the filtering causes certain difficulties, one decants during several days and extracts the clear solution.
The yield is 16 kg. solution with 48% content of purified dammar resin.
Owing to their clearness, also the perfectly colourless polymerization products prepared from vinyl esters or from esters of acrylic acid and the condensation products, for instance, the products of condensation of urea with formaldehyde are specially suitable for producing the coating layer to be applied to cellulose foils according to the invention. Furthermore, in order to save solvents and to increase the working speed of the applying of the coating layer to the cellulose foil, it is advantageous to employ solutions having a high content of dry matter which may be more than 30%, preferably 50% of the solution.

An endless foil of cellulose-hydrate which is provided with a Waterproof lacquer coating on one side or on both the sides is coated on the one side by means of lacquering coating machine The coating layer is applied in such a thickness that the dried coating film covering the cellulosehydrate foil has a thickness of 0.05 mm. After the cooling of the coating film, the cellulosehydrate foil is rolled up in the usual way or it is cut to the required sizes and is then fit for immediate, use.
