Description

United States atent O METHOD OF MAKING FELTED, FIBROUS SHEET MATERIAL David A. Feigley, Jr., Lancaster Township, Lancaster County, Pa., asslgnor to Armstrong Cork Company, Lancaster, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania No Drawing. Application December 10, 1954,
Serial No. 474,619
9 Claims. (CI. 92-21) This invention relates to the deposition of binders upon fibrous materials contained in a water slurry. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved method of beater saturating fibers with hard, nontacky resins, and st1ll more particularly it relates to an improvement in the production of fibrous materials containing binder constrtuents by treating the fibers while in suspension to render them more receptive to the deposition of both hard, nontacky resins and of rubberlike solids which make up a binder system.
Compositions containing fibrous materials and binders are produced in a number of ways. A fibrous material, such as a kraft paper sheet, may be formed into a sheet on conventional papermaking equipment and then passed through a bath containing a binder composition, for example, a rubber latex. Alternatively, a sheet prepared by conventional papermaking methods may be simply coated with a heavy paste containing a rubber or other suitable binder as by means of a doctor blade or similar applicator. Another well-known method of manufacturing such materials is the beater saturation technic. In this method, a slurry of fibers is formed and a binder dispersion is added thereto. The solids content or a portion thereof of the binder dispersion is then coagulated onto the fibers and the resulting slurry of coated fibers is formed into a sheet. Generally speaking, the binder is a synthetic rubber latex such as GRS (a copolymer of buta diene and styrene), Hycar (a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile), neoprene (polymerized chloroprene), and the like.
Although such materials have found wide use, they are unduly expensive and, in addition, do not produce a sheet sutficiently hard, stifi, or resistant to indentation for many uses, particularly where the sheet is to be used as a backing for resilient flooring.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a method of depositing solid binder material upon fibers in water suspension which may be swiftly carried out and which may be duplicated 'as desired. It is a further object of this invention to provide a method of depositing solid binder material upon fibers such that a sheet made therefrom will be less expensive and will be harder, stiffer,
and more resistant to indentation than sheets made by known processes. It is still a further object to present a method wherein hard, nontacky resins may be deposited on fibrous materials in a simple and straightforward process in amounts as high as 100% on the weight of the fibers and in which the retention of such resins is substantially complete. I
In accordance with thepresent invention, there is first formed a slurry containing sheet-making fibers. There is also formed an aqueous dispersion of a solid, substantially water-insoluble resin having a density less than about 1.5; this dispersion is formed by adding the selected resin and locust bean gum to water, the locust bean gum being added inan amount of about 0.5 to about 3 parts by weight of said gum per about 100 parts of said resin. This dispersion, or at least a portion thereof, is added to 2,786,759 Patented Mar. 26, 1957 the slurry containing the fibers, usually after pretreatment with alum and ammonia according to the Pretzel process, described in U. S. Patent No. 2,375,245, issued May 8, 1945. The resulting slurry is agitated to coagulate the solids content of the dispersion onto the fibers. The slurry of coate l fibers is then formed into a sheet.
The fibers contemplated for treatment by the present invention are those fibers usually found in felted products and include such fibers as kraft, sulfite, cotton, and ashestos. The character of the fibers involved in the present process is not critical. 7
The use of the aqueous resin-locust bean gum dispersion, however, is critical. The resin should be ground, for example, by a ball mill or colloid mill until the re sulting powder feels smooth and nongranular to the touch. This normally means that the resin has sufiicient fineness that it will substantially all pass through a 150 mesh screen while about will pass through a 200 mesh screen. The resin is slurried in water along with locust bean gum. The amount of locust bean gum to be added must be between about 0.5 to 3 parts by weight of the gum per about parts by weight of the resin. If lower amounts of gum are used, then the surprising efiect utilized by the present process is not achieved, whereas if greater amounts of gum are used, an excessive amount of water must be used to keep the viscosity of the dispersion down; the sheets obtained from the coated fibers exhibit poor retention and slow drainage. The amount of water used in the resin-gum dispersion is not criticahexcept as a control on the dispersion viscosity, but it is preferred that about parts by Weight of water plus gum be used for every about 100 parts by weight of resin. A dispersion of this concentration offers an unusually convenient means for adding the resin-gum mixture to the fiber slurry. It must be pointed out that the resin-gumdispersion must be prepared separately and then added to the fibrous slurry in the beater; poor pick-up results if an attempt is made to disperse the resinand gum directly into the fiber slurry.
It is essential that the resin utilized in the present process have a density of 1.5 or less.- Resins having a greater density than 1.5 will not coat on the fibers to the desired degree. It is also apparent that the resin to be utilized must be a solid substantially insoluble in water. Soluble resins are simply lost in the white water to the extent of their solubility. The type of resin is not critical as long as it is substantially insoluble in water and has a density of less than about 1.5. Exemplary of resins suitable in the present process are the various phenol-formal.- dehyde resins, urea-formaldehyde resins, melamine-formaldehyde resins, and any of theresinous materials formed through unsaturated linkages such as the vinyl resins. Both synthetic and natural resins are contemplated. It is, in fact, one of the outstanding advantages of the present process that low-cost natural resins such as high melting asphalt, coal tar byproducts, petroleum lay-products, and the like can be utilized in the present process. Both thermosetting and thermoplastic resins are suitable.
The locust bean gum utilized in the present process is critical. This locust bean gum is a known item of commerce and is extracted from the locust bean, otherwise known as the carrob bean. It is one of the surprising features of the present process that onlylocust bean gum functions as the desired coating agent. Other colloidal dispersing or thickening agents, such as synthetic detergents, glue, carboxymethyl cellulose, or casein are inadequate to give the desired results; all these latter agents give only partial retention and slow drainage. Thus, 1t is a completely unexpected and surprising feature of the present invention that locust bean gum in certain amounts and no other agent, when used with powdered resins having certain physical characteristics, will result in 100% retention of the resins in the beater saturation technic.
The process of the present invention may be used to coat any desired fibers with a resin or mixture of resins. Deposition will be'enhanced by pretreating the fibers with alum and ammonia. This will result in ahard, stiff, and strong felted material which can be used as insulation board and as similar materials of construction. Plas ticizers may be incorporated if desired. It is preferred, however, that the process of the present invention be utilized in conjunction with the deposition of a rubber on the fibers. Thus, when the above-described dispersion of resin and gum is added to the beater, along with a rubber latex, both the resin and the rubber coat out on the fibers without interference with one another. It is this process which results in the production of a flexible felt backing which is pre-eminently suitable to serve as a flexible backing with flexible flooring. such as linoleum and the'like. If this latter process be utilized, the backing will be harder, stiffer, more resistant to indentation, and more inexpensive than backing prepared using rubber alone, and yet it will possess sufiicient flexibility to serve in the usual manner.
The following examples illustrate specific embodiments of the invention:
Example I The resin formulation is ground in a ball mill until smooth and nongranular to the touch. The resin formulation is as follows:
Parts by weight Example 11 40 grams of kraft fiber was suspended in 4,000 grams of water, to which was added a solution containing grams of aluminum sulfate. After a :short period of agitation to disperse the solution, 4.5 cc. of aqua ammonia was added to the slurry to convert the aluminum sulfate to aluminum hydroxide. Thereafter, 56 grams of a resin dispersion prepared as in Example I utilizing Bakelite BR-17620, a water-insoluble, B-stage phenolformaldehyde resin (20 grams dry resin), was added to the slurry. Upon agitation, the total solids content of the dispersion deposited upon the fibers. The slurry of fibers wasformed into a sheet in a laboratory sheet mold, producing an excellent thermosetting hardboard.
Example 111 40 grams rag fiber was suspended in 4,000 grams of Water, to which was added a solution containing 2 grams aluminum sulfate. After a short period of agitation, 1.8 cc. aqua ammonia was added. Thereafter 33.8 grams resin dispersion prepared'as in Example I, using a Piccopale petroleum by-product resin, a hard' hydrocarbon resin from polymerized unsaturates derived from deep cracking of petroleum, melting point 85 C13 C. (12
grams dry), was added. Upon agitation, the solids content of the dispersion was deposited upon the fibers. From this slurry of fibers there was formed a hard sheet of thermoplastic hardboard possessing excellent properties.
Example IV A furnish containing 30 grams rag fiber and 10 grams of to dust cork particles was suspended in 4,000 grams of water. To the slurry was added a solution containing 5 grams aluminum sulfate, and after agitation 4.5 cc.
aqua ammonia and 0.24 gram of Agerite white dispersion,
sym. d-beta-naphthyl-p-phenylene diamine (47% solids), as an antioxidant.
a: dispersion prepared asin Example. I with a coal tar 4. by-product commercially known as C-S resin, coumarone-indene resin, melting point l01-l05 C. (6 grams dry). After agitation, the solids content of the respective hinder dispersions deposited upon the fibers. The slurry of fibers was then formed into the sheet which exhibited excell nt flexibility and-yet" was harder and more resistant to-indentation than was a sheet prepared in the same manner using GR-S 2000 in place of the resin-gum dispersion.
