Further i objects of the invention involve *the formation, on standard paper-inakingi "or pulpforming r performing e'quipi'nerit,v of "easily new combinations-of iibers, .or "if'iber's an with certain special resinorus impregnating that have not heretofore been incorporated suc'- cessfully by slush stock treatment. Thus, for example, certain special thermosetting resins or condensates such as urea-formaldehyde resins, phenol-formaldehyde resins, alkyd resins and the like may be incorporated into paper stock in the quantities necessary for premolding and molding processes. v
Similarly, a wide variety of organic binders, sizing agents, oils, waxes, pitches, gums and natural resins may be incorporated into fibrous cellulosic materials. Various combinations of any two or more of these materials may likewise be incorporated if desired. By applying the principles of this invention, resin-impregnated paper or paper board having superior properties can be prepared, as well as new types of products made from the treated paper of pulp by such conventional operations as laminating, molding, pressing, calendering, extruding and the like. Instead of forming the treated pulps or fibers, they can be shredded, chopped or ground to produce new types of insulating agents, molding powders, fillers for standard molding or casting resins, and the like.
The present invention is based on the discovery of an unusual type of flocculation and deposition that is brought about by the action of cationic urea-formaldehyde resins in an aqueous system containing fibrous cellulosic material of the type of paper pulp suspended therein together with an aqueous dispersion of waterinsoluble coating or impregnating agents.V It has been found that in such a system the cationic urea-formaldehyde resin causes a controlled flocculation such that particles of the impregnating agent are uniformly coated upon or impregnated into the cellulose fibers. When dispersed or deflocculated water-insoluble impregnating or coating agents are applied in this manner, the cellulosic fibers retain their property of felting or forming into shaped or sheeted articles despite the presence of large Aquantities of the impregnating agent, which in some cases may even be greater than the weight of the cellulosic fibers themselves.y Moreover, when the proper quantities of cationic urea-formaldehyde resin are applied in the manner hereinafter described a high degree of retention of the flocculated material by the cellulosic fibers is obtained, and losses of organic material in the white Water system are largerly avoided.
The` process of the invention therefore comprises as an essential featurey the occulation of an aqueous dispersion of an impregnating agent in the presence of fibrous cellulosic material suspended inthe aqueous medium by the action of a cationic urea-formaldehyde resin. The distinctive type of ilocculation that is obtained when an aqueous solution of this type of resin is added to an aqueous dispersion such, for example, as an emulsion-polymerized polystyrene dispersion will be described and illustrated hereinafter in greater detail.
The invention in its broader aspects includes any process wherein this flocculating action is used for the dispersion or incorporation of an impregnating agent into fibrous cellulosic material.
In addition to the foregoing. one of the most importantfeatures of the invention is the discovery that the distinctive fiocculating action of the cationic urea-formaldehyde resin continues, and is in many instances actually enhanced, after the cationic resin has been absorbed on the brous cellulosic material. The importance, of this discovery resides inthe fact that the cationic resin, being distributed over and through the cellulosic fibers, causes a uniform dispersion and retention of the impregnating agent on the fibers after it has been flocculated. Large quantities of -any desired impregnating agent may therefore be deposited on brous cellulosic materials such as paper stock while retaining the felting properties of the fiber, so that after impregnation they can still be felted together and formed into sheeted or molded products by conventional wet-molding or papermaking procedures.
Although the invention is not dependent on any particular theory of operation, the following is offered as the most satisfactory explanation of the unusual type of occulation and retention that is obtained. As is noted above, definite quantities of the cationic urea-formaldehyde resin are adsorbed upon and retained by the cellulosic bers when the cationic resin solution is added to an aqueous suspension thereof. As a result of this treatment, the ber-resin entity becomes positively charged, as contrasted with the negative charge usually associated with cellulose fibers. The resulting positively charged,
vresin-treated fibers in aqueous suspension exert an appreciable flocculating action on emulsions or dispersions of water-insoluble organic materials, and this is particularly evident when the emulsified or dispersed impregnating material carries a negative charge as when an anionic dispersing agent is employed in its preparation. The result is that after addition of the emulsion or dispersion of the impregnating agent to the aqueous suspension of resin-treated cellulosic pulp, the dispersed particles are occulated on the positively charged iibers forming a coating upon and around the fibers and permitting the formation of a mat of the coated fibers on a screen or paper machine wire, with substantial retention of both the fibers and the coagulated particles of the non-fibrous dispersion.
The cationic urea-formaldehyde resins which are employed in the process of our invention are prepared sby condensing a urea-formaldehyde reaction product under acid conditions, and preferably at pI-I values below 4.0-4.5, in the presence of a cationic nitrogen-containing organic compound =which is capable of condensing with the resin. The preferred cationic organic nitrogen compounds which are capable of condensing with diirnethylolurea or other urea-formaldehyde reaction products are water-soluble rpolyfunctional organic nitrogen bases; i. e., compounds having the ability to copolymerize with lurea-formaldehyde under acid conditions. Typical examples of such polyfunctional organic bases are the alkylene polyamines of the formula:
H2N(CnH2n.HN) xH in which :c is one or more, such as ethylenediamine, 1,3-propylenediamine diethylenetriamine,
triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, the corresponding polypropylenepolyamines and `polybutylenepolyamines, also guanidines, biguanproducts,- obtainedunder slightly alkaline conditions. by .condensing ureazor` thiourea. .with forme therefore prepared by first reactingI ureal With' amethylene-yielding substance suc-h aslformaldeh'yde, paraforrnaldehyde,v orhexameth'ylenetetramine-in known vmannerfto formL-ay primaryurea-formaldehyde condensation l product which is usually designated -by resin chemists `as. dernethylolurea. product is'preferablyformed under neutral orslightly alkaline` conditions, the latter being obtained-by theaddition of a smal-l vquantity -of basic materialfsuch' as sodium; hydroxide oratriethanolamine. A suitable quantity ofthe poly-- functional orga1iic-b`aseI is-then added-'as such or` after it has first beenreacted'- with formaldehyde'andthe resinsolution'is-'a-cidied-by the addition-o1 Vhydrochloric acid; nitric acidy or other strongly acidic material to'reducethe-pH` tothe polymerizing range,fwhich is about 1-4 and preferafbly Y1-2.- The resin-syrupis then further reacted o-r polymerized; preferably rat elevated Vtemperatureson the order-of 70-90' C., inI order'to bring about Ya polymerization or copolymerization' of the urea-formaldehyde yand* organic ybase andthereby-produce va cationic resin'.`
'The relative proportions of polyalkylene poly-` arnine and primary `urea-formaldehyde condensation product may be varied over a wid-e range. This is an important advantage .of the invention, since it permits an adjustment ofthe degree of cationic properties .of the resin for lemulsions of Widely divergent characteristics including, vfor example, those containing anionic or non-ionic emulsifying agents.l Thus for somepllrposes -it' maybe most desirable to employ a resin preparedv from %V fbyeweight of. a polyalkylene polyamine andl 90% of urea-formaldehyde condensation` product, While for other purposes a cationic resin containing considerably more of the pflyalkylenel polyamine may give better results. Cationic resins prepared from as much as 80 %j by Weight of a polyalkylene polyamine such'as tetramethylenepentamine and lby Weight of .the primary u re'aformaldehyde condensation product may be used in cases Where rapid curingof theresin is not important.
Thepolyrnerized resinsyrup is preferably neutralized to a p I-I on the order of about .6 7 in order to obtain `a product whichV is stable on storage.V Resin syrups prepared. by thismethodv are both=waterso1ub1e and lwater dilutable, and also vcan be evaporated to dryness and ,redissolved in water Without substantial reductionin their Water solubility.

Polyindene resins C'oumaronc resins Vinylacetylene resins Vinso1" resin; i. e. residue from purified wood rosin Halogenated vinylacetylene resins Acetyl. gums Any of the above materials, either singly. or in admixture, may be applied to fibrous celllosic materials with the aid of cationic urea-formaldehyde resins by the process of the present invention. The impregnating agent is added to the aqueous stock suspension containing the cellulosic lbers as a dispersion in Water or aqueous liquid. Depending on the type of impregnating agent, the dispersions may require no added emulsifying or dispersing agents whatsoever, as in the case of natural latices. However, in many cases dispersions of finer particle size and :better impregnating properties are obtained with the ald of dispersing agents, and many types of dispersing agents may be used. In general any anionic or non-ionic dispersing agent may be employed in emulsifying or suspending the impregnating agents in Water or other aqueous liquids, and in certain cases the cationi-c emulsifying agents may also :be used. Typical anionic, emulsifying agents which have been employed with success are the soaps of aliphatic and cycloaliphatic acids such as potassium oleate, potassium naphthenate and the like, amine salts such as triethanolamine oleate; sulfated aliphatic compounds such as sodium lauryl sulfate and the sulfates of higher secondary alcohols and sulfonated castor oil; sulfonated products such as sodium keryl benzene sulfonate, sodium isopropyl naphthalene sulfonate, esters of sulfo-carboxylic acids such as esters of sodium sulfo-acetate, dialkyl sulfosuccinates, disodium monoalkyl sulfosucclnates; amides of sulfo-carboxylic acids such as lsodium sulfosuccnamates and the like, sulfonated lignin, etc.
Ammonium or other water-soluble or waterdlspersible salts of alkyd resins of high acid number may also be employed, such as the products obtained by adding sodium hydroxide to condensation products of maleic acid and -glycerine, modified phthalic anhydride-glycerinefatty acid condensation products of high acid number, polyhydric alcohol esters of terpenemaleic acid condensation products and the like. In general, therefore, any suitable :wetting or emulsifying agent may be used in practicing the invention.
Any fibrous cellulosic material capable of ad-y sorbing cationic urea-formaldehyde resin from an aqueous solution thereof may be coated or impregnated by the process of the invention. A wide variety of fibrous cellulosic material used in the preparation of paper, board, molded resin fillers and the like may be used, such as kraft pulp. rag pulp, soda, sulfate, ground-Wood, `sulflte pulp and alpha pulp. Similarly, other forms of fibrous cellulose such as cotton lnters, and the like may ibe Iemployed. These materials may be used alone or in adrnixture with fibers from other sources, s-uch as jute, hemp, sisal, strings, chopped canvas, asbestos fibers, glass fibers, and other material, either cellulosic or non-cellulosic, that may improve the impact resistance, mechanical strength or other properties of the formed or molded impregnated material. Typical products that may be improved by the process of the invention are -waterproof or moisturevaporproof paper, paper or board containers or cartons for milk, butter, foods, etc., resin-impregnated laminating paper, abrasives composed of resin-impregnated paper coated with abrasive particles, molded articles, premolded articles, electrical insulators, filter paper, heat-insulating paper, or loose masses of unfelted and unmolded impregnated cellulose stock used for air filters, dust filters, heat insulation and the like.
The particular procedure whereby the impregnating agent is occulated and coated on the brous cellulosic material may vary somewhat with different impregnating agents, but usually follows the same general plan. The cellulosic material is preferably rst suspended in water and may be beaten for shorter or longer periods of time, after which the stock may be brushed out in a Jordan engine or other refining machine if desired. Any desired ratio of cellulosic material to water may be maintained but We prefer to operate at a stock consistency of about 0.5% to 6%. The cationic urea-formaldehyde resin is then added, preferably in the form of an aqueous solution of about 5%-l5% resin solids, after which the stock suspension is preferably allowed to stand for anywhere from 15 minutes up to 3-4 hours or longer. This period of aging is not a lnecessary step, since the adsorption of cationic resin by the paper pulp is quite rapid, but the subsequent behavior of the impregnated stock on a paper-making machine is much better when the addition of the impregnating agent is delayed for this period of time. The pH of the stock during the adsorption of the cationic urea-formaldehyde resin and prior to addition of the impregnating agent should preferably be within the range of from about 1 to about 6 since the resin retention is not as good at higher or lower values.
After pretreatment of cellulosic fibers with the cationic urea-formaldehyde resin, the impregnating agent is introduced in the form of an aqueous suspension, preferably of relatively ne particle size. The flocculating action of the cationic urea-formaldehyde-polyamine resin is not dependent on the particle size of the added impregnating agent, but a much more uniform coating of the cellulose fibers and better performance on the paper-making machine is obtained when a dispersion of 'lne particle size is used. Aqueous dispersions having an average particle size of l-Z microns or less have given excellent results in practice, and therefore we recommend the addition of the impregnating agent in the form of an aqueous dispersion having at most this particle size. The flocculation' of the impregnating agent and its adsorption by the cationic resin-treated cellulose fiber is fairly rapid, and the standing time of the mixture after the impregnating' agent has been added makes very little difference in the resin retention. The stock can therefore be formed immediately after the addition of the impregnating agent or after a considerable period of time, as desired. However,l a more uniform impregnation of the stock is sometimes obtained when the impregnating dispersion is added slowlir to the resin-treated stock instead of adding it all at once. In continuous operation, where the resin dispersion is added continuously to a stream of the treated stock, this effect can be obtained by introducing the resin dispersion simultaneously at several points in the stock-treating system. Alsovthe point of addition can be selected so that the time of contact available for occulation before sheet formation is adjusted to give maximum iiocculation.
The optimum quantity of the urea-formaldehyde resin that should be used to obtain the best retention of a dispersed or emulsied resin, wax, or other impregnating agent may vary with the nature and particle size of the dispersion, the nature of the cationic resin, the time of contact between the pulp` fibers and the .cationic resin solution, the pH of the stock and other factors. Also. because of the properties of vthe dispersed `accuses material added `and thev requirements of the finished-sheet or-article to be made, it maybe desirableto modify the proportion of urea-formaldehyde resin in order to obtain increased properties thereof 'in the finished product. In generaL'the proper amount of urea-formladehydeA resin. required mayvary from small amounts on the order ofl based on the Weight of the paper stock, up .to :about 15 or more. When using relatively large 4quantities of-impregnating agent, on the order of 50%100% or more of the Weightof the cellulosicbers, the optimum quantity of cationic resin is within the range of about 1 %-1.0%., based on the'weight of resin solids in the' impregnating agent. With'smallerquan'tities of impregnating agent such as 5%50% on the Weight of the cellulose," larger quantities of the cationic resin should be used. ,'Largerquantities of the modied ureaformaldehyde resin up to 100% or more `'on the weight of the impregnating agent may be fadded to modify the properties'of the -nished product if desired, but in such cases there 'is 'denitefalling olf inthe `retention and also an increase in the drainage time of the stock. It is usually desirable to'run'trials with t-he specific dispersion of impregnating agent to be added, using the desired operating conditions, before deciding finally upon the exact proportions of cationic urea-formaldehyde resin to use.
The principles of the invention may be applied in a wide variety of fields of paper making, molding, laminating, extruding, preforming and the like and in general Wherever a fibrous` cellulosic material intimately associatedwith thermoplastic, thermosetting, waxy, bituminous or other type of bonding,impregnating or coating material is .desired.
The' invention Will be further illustrated bythe following specific examples, whichl show preferred embodiments thereof.
