Abstract

Transparent sheets impermeable to liquids and gases are obtained from solutions of gelatine containing as softening agent one or more sulphonic acids of higher aliphatic alcohols or sulphonic salts thereof. The higher alcohols referred to are those containing at least 16 carbon atoms and up to 22 carbon atoms. The sheets are obtained by extrusion or by casting solutions of gelatine and the softening agent. The solidified sheets may be treated with an aqueous solution of glycerine. They may be coated on both sides with a cellulose ester solution containing tanning agents such as formalin, chromates, tannin, quinone, or glycol. These additions also effect a more permanent adherence between the gelatine base and the cellulose ester coatings.

Description

I ?atented Apr. &, 193$ STATS MANUFACTURE OF TRANSPARENT I FLEXIBLE SHEETS Ernest Saraga, Bucharest, Rumania 1 Claim. (CI. 91-68) I The present invention relates to the manufacture of flexible transparent sheets, and more particularly to the manufacture of sheets of this kind which are highly resistant and'are entirely *5 impermeable to liquids and gases.
The manufacture of transparent sheets-by the employment of gum, gelatine, cellulose or other similar materials is known per se. The known methodof manufacture consists in adding to the initial material in question a softening agent, such as-Turkey red oil or salts of the latter, or
. adding glycerine directly. In quite recent time it has been proposed in addition to this to coat the said sheets on their two faces with-a thin coating of a cellulose ester with the object of rendering them perfectly impermeable.
The present invention has for'its principal obiect the provision of a novel' process for the manufacture of transparent sheets, wherein gelatine is used as the base or starting material, the
said sheets being intended to replace the known sheets made of cellulose or of acetyl cellulose, and
the said process offering the advantage that it renders the manufacture more economical and provides a means for obtaining highly resistant sheets which are entirely impermeable to water and which are greatly superior to the similar sheets obtained by the processes hitherto em- Ployed.
Thesaid sheets are manufactured in similar manner to that which is known per se, but the process according to the invention presents, as
compared with the known processes, the follow- -ing characteristic difierences:
1. The gelatine employed as the base or starting v material for the manufacture of the sheets is mixed or combined with a predetermined qu'an: tity of aknown softening agent such as a sulphonate of a higher aliphatic alcohol.
40 2. This mixture is converted into sheets by any known method, such as extrusion through a slit intoa coagulating bath, or pouring on to a plate, and according to the invention an aqueous solution of glycerine is poured on to the sheets before they have become dry, this being done with the object of preventing an excessive desiccating or drying of said sheets. In the processes hitherto employed, the glycerine was directly dissolved in the starting material, whereas experiments which have been carried out have demonstrated that 5 v by treating the already formed sheets with a solution of glycerine, according to the process comprised in the subject matter of the present invention, a very greatly superior result to that obtained by the hitherto known processes is ob- 10 tained. I
3. The sheets thus treated are finally coated on both sides with a thin coating of cellulose ester (for'example by impregnation with the ester in question),.to which is added a tanning agent, 15 such as Formalin, a chromate, tannin, quinone, or the like. In this way the sheets are rendered impermeable andthe structure of the superficial molecules of the two sides of each sheet is at the same time modified in such manner that perfect 0 adherence of the two coatings of cellulose ester with the corresponding sides is obtained.
By the aid of the process according to the in.- vention thin transparent sheets are obtained which possess a much higher resistance than 25 that of the sheets manufactured according to the known processes and thanlthat of the cellulose or acetyl cellulose sheets. The sheets manufactured according to the invention are, moreover,
characterised by perfect'adhesion of the two 30 coatings which are applied on the gelatine sheets, in such manner that the possibility of their dissolving incontact with water,- moisture or other liquids is entirely eliminated.
I claim: 35
In the manufacture of flexible highly resistant transparent sheets of gelatine treated with a small quantity of at least one sulphonate of a higher aliphatic alcohol, the steps of: treating the surfaces of said sheets with an aqueous solution 4 of glycerine to maintain said sheets in a soft and moist condition; and impregnating said sheets with a mixture composed of a cellulose ester and a tanning agent.
