Definitions

  • cellulose hydrate films In order to improve the physical properties of cellulose hydrate films, such as extension and elasticity, they are normally treated with solutions of softeners such as glycerine or diand triglycols. Depending upon the intended use of the films such films contain in general 12 to 20% softeners. As a result of the use of such softeners, depending upon the quantity contained in the softener baths, certain disadvantagous properties are engendered therein in that the stickiness of such films is greatly increased and such stickiness often can lead to difficulties in the subsequent processing of the softened films.' For example, the surfaces of rolled up film stick together (block) so that it cannot be removed from the roll without difficulty and often tears 0E. Such tendency of rupture of the film is especially disadvantageous and disturbing to production when the film is to be processed on automatic machines such as roller cutters, printing machines or bag making machines.
  • anchoring agents and/or lubricants are added in certain quantities either to the bath containing softening agents or to a preceding bath.
  • the anchoring agents and/ or lubricants contained in these baths are applied to the surfaces of the cellophane during its passage through the baths and then dried onto such surfaces when the cellophane is subsequently passed through the drier portion of the machine.
  • Such bath treatments of the cellulose hydrate films in general cause an increased tendency for blocking. If, for example, an improved anchoring action is sought after, optimal surface sliding characteristics are precluded and the undesired blocking effect occurs when the treated film is rolled and later unrolled for further processing.
  • oxide aerogels for example, are those of titanium, zirconium, zinc or aluminum produced in an analogous manner.
  • the oxide aerogels need not be employed in pure state as mixtures of such oxides or mixed oxides can also be used.
  • These highly disperse colloids expediently are converted into their aqueous dispersons which are then incorporated in the softeners or softener solutions. Care must be taken to ensure a good distribution of these dispersions as the stability of the baths as well as the effect obtained depends to a great extent thereon.
  • a cationically active anchoring agent such as polyethylene imine which, for example, can be obtained in a known manner by catalytic acid (cationic) polymerization of ethylene imine, rather than working in the oxide aerogels in the form of an aqueous dispersion containing, for example, a small quantity of dispersed silicic acid, it is possible to disperse surprisingly large quatities of the finely divided oxide aerogels so that, for example, stable, non-coagulating dispersions can be obtained which contain between 80 and 200 parts, preferably, between 120 and 150 parts, by weight of silicic acid and -40 parts, preferably 15-20 parts by weight of polyethylene imine per 1000 parts by weight of the dispersion.
  • the stable dispersions produced according to the invention can either be used together with the above mentioned anchoring and/or lubricating agents or these products can be added to a bath preceding the usual softener bath.
  • Example 83.5 liters of distilled water were placed in a stirring vessel and 4 kg. of an aqueous 50% polyethylene imine paste dissolved therein. Then 12.5 kg. of a pyrogenic silica aerogel product having a primary particle size of about l040 m and a surface of 6080 m /g. were stirred in in dry form and then intensively dispersed therein with a high capacity stirrer.
  • Such dispersion was added to an aqueous softener bath which in addition to 4% of glycerine also contained 0.5 g. per liter of a water soluble urea formaldehyde precondensate as an anchoring agent.
  • the quantity of such dispersion incorporated in the softener bath was 5.0 cc. per liter.
  • a regenerated cellulose film was passed through such bath at 25 C. and then freed of excess liquid by being passed through rubber squeezing rollers and dried on rollers heated to -90 C. The resulting treated film had good surface characteristics and could be rolled up and stored for longer periods of time without danger of blocking.
  • silica aerogel used above was replaced by a mixed oxide aerogel containing about 98.3% of SiO and about 03-13% of A1 0 and the remainder other oxides which may be disregarded and having about the same particle size and surface area as such silica aerogei.
  • the polyethylene imine employed was one obtained by catalytic acid polymerization of ethylene imine which was terminated by neutralization just before complete water solubility was lost.
  • the 50% aqueous solution was of alkaline reaction.
  • Such water soluble polyethylene imine product has already achieved wide use in the paper industry to increase the wet strength of paper and is, for example, available as the well-known product Polymin-P.
  • An antiblocking agent for use in baths employed for the processing of cellulose hydrate films consisting essentially of a stable aqueous dispersion containing 8 to 20% by weight of dispersed pyrogenic silica having a particle size of less than 0.15 2 and 1.5 to 4% by weight of polyethylene imine dissolved in the aqueous phase of such dispersion.
  • An antiblocking agent for use in baths employed for the processing of cellulose hydrate films comprising a stable aqueous dispersion containing 12 to 15% by weight of dispersed pyrogcnic silica having a particle size of less than 0.15 and 1.5 to 2.0% by weight of polyethylene imine dissolved in the aqueous phase of such dispersion.
  • a method of producing a stable aqueous dispersion containing 8 to 20% by weight of a pyrogenic silica having a particle size of less than 0.15 1. which comprises intensively dispersing a pyrogenic silica aerogel having a particle size of less than 0.15 1. in dry form in an aqueous solution of polyethylene imine in such proportions that the aqueous suspension contains 8 to 20% by weight of the silica aerogel and 1.5 to 4.0% by weight of polyethylene imine.
