Definitions

  • the paper is impregnated with a composition comprising about 90-91% by weight of paraffin oil, about 9-10% by weight of stearic acid and about 185-233% by weight of abietyl alcohol, wherein the percentages are based upon the total weight of paratfin oil and stearic acid.
  • This invention relates to a method for making transparent paper and to a composition useful in the practice of the method.
  • Transparent paper has been known for a long time and is particularly used for drawing paper, lampshade material, and photoreproduction papers for the production of, for example, diazo copies or the like.
  • transparent paper in actual practice only paper which is absorbent can be used since it must absorb a composition which causes the transparency. Furthermore, it is important that when transparent paper is to be used, as drawing paper or photoreproduction paper, the paper must be very uniformly processed since lack of uniformity is further increased by the composition which is absorbed to make the paper transparent. Normal paper, because of its fibrous structure and the dispersion of light caused thereby, is only slightly transparent.
  • a great drawback of transparent papers thus produced is that without application of additional layers, the papers are not suitable as underlayers for photosensitive coatings such as photographic silver halide gelatine emulsions, since on the more or less hydrophobic transparent papers the hydrophile photosensitive layers do not adhere sufficiently.
  • My method comprises treating the paper with a composition which comprises an emulsion or a melt of about to by weight of paraffin oil, about 5 to 20% by weight, preferably about 10% by weight of stearic acid, and about 50 to 300%, preferably 200%, by weight of resin alcohol such as abietyl alcohol.
  • a composition which comprises an emulsion or a melt of about to by weight of paraffin oil, about 5 to 20% by weight, preferably about 10% by weight of stearic acid, and about 50 to 300%, preferably 200%, by weight of resin alcohol such as abietyl alcohol.
  • resin alcohol in combination with the paraffin oil and the stearic acid there is avoided a greasing-off or giving off of transparentizing agents to photographic baths and to papers which come in contact with the transparent paper.
  • the percentage of resin alcohol is in reference to the total amount of paratfin oil and stearic acid.
  • the transparentizing agent according to the invention can be used in the form of a solution of esters and organic hydrocarbons. Also, a melt through which the paper is drawn can be used. It can also be added to the paper as an aqueous emulsion inside of a paper machine.
  • the paper to be made transparent can be of cellulose fibers or of synthetic fibers or of a mixture of both types of fibers.
  • the papers produced according to the process of the invention are stable to light, indifferent with respect to photosensitive coatings and stable with respect to photographic baths or chemicals such as are used in diazotypy. There is no reduction of the transparency even with relatively long storage and in processing in photographic baths. The papers produced do not stick together and are practically odorless.
  • EXAMPLE I A roll of photo crude paper of 55 g./m. is drawn at a rate of 20 m./min. through a solution of 20 parts of paraffin oil and 2 parts of stearic acid in a mixture of 60 parts of acetic ester and 13 parts of toluene; and the excess of impregnating agent is stripped off with the aid of scrapers. After the evaporation of the solvent, the paper is immediately suited, without application of additional layers, for coating with photographic silver halide emulsions. The optical density of the transparent paper as measured with the opacimeter of Bausch & Lomb amounts to 0.28. The opacity of the crude paper before the transparentizing was 0.50.
  • Resin alcohol (abietyl alcohol)26.0% (185% based upon the total weight of paraffin oil and stearic acid).
  • the excess of impregnating agent is stripped off with the aid of Scraper blades. After the evaporation of the solvent the impregnated paper stood for a few days in order to give the impregnating agent situated on the surface of the paper an opportunity to diffuse into the hollow spaces in the paper formerly occupied by the solvent.
  • the optical density of the transparent paper is 0.40 and that of the crude paper is 0.64.
  • EXAMPLE III A photographic crude paper of 55 g./m. is drawn, after the sheet formation on the paper machine, with a dry content of about 60%, through an emulsion consisting of parts of paratfin oil, 2 parts of stearic acid, 2 parts of Emulsogen A (a trademark of Anorgana GMBH of Gendorf, Upper Bavaria, a fatty acid polygolycol ester recommended for emulsifying mineral oils and fatty oils) and 76 parts of water. The excess impregnating agent is squeezed out by rubber rollers. The paper is then dried within the paper machine to a moisture content of about 6% of water. The optical density of the impregnated paper amounts to 0.32.
  • EXAMPLE IV A photographic crude paper of 55 g./m. is drawn through a melt which consists of 70% (233% based upon the total weight of parafiin oil and stearic acid) of resin alcohol, 27% (90% based upon the total weight of paraffin oil and stearic acid) of paraffn oil and 3% (10% based upon the total weight of paraffin oil and stearic acid) of stearic acid.
  • the excess of impregnating agent is stripped off with the aid of scrapers heated to C.
  • the optical density of the transparent paper is 0.18 and that of the crude paper is 0.50.
  • a method for making transparent paper comprising the step of impregnating paper with a composition comprising about -91% by weight of paraflin oil, about 910% by weight of stearic acid, and about 185233% by weight of abietyl alcohol, said percentages being based upon the total Weight of parafiin oil and stearic acid.
  • composition useful for producing transparent paper comprising about 90-91% by weight of parafiin oil, about 9-10% by weight of stearic acid and about 185-233% by weight of abietyl alcohol, said percentages being based upon the total weight of paraflin oil and stearic acid.
  • composition of claim 3 wherein about 10% by weight of stearic acid and about 200% by weight of abietyl alcohol are used.
