Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to the preparation and manufacture of a sized paper and, in particular, to the sizing of paper for use as a corrugating material in a corrugated containerboard.
  • Corrugating material for use in the fabrication of corrugated containerboard is typically manufactured by depositing pulp in a water carrier on a moving screen. The pulp is then pressed into a web and then dried. The corrugated material is then formed into a corrugated containerboard by sandwiching this material between a pair of spaced apart linerboards in a corrugating machine. Corrugated containerboard so formed is then cut into blanks and scored to form containers for shipment of goods therein.
  • Containers formed in this procedure can perform in an unsatisfactory manner when exposed to a high humidity or wetting conditions such as when shipping produce, dressed poultry or the like packed in the ice.
  • the exposure of the corrugated contain- erboard to the water and water vapors rapidly deteriorates the corrugated containerboard and can collapse the board in a relatively short period of time. Eliminating this problem has become an object of industrial concern.
  • a boundary layer of a sizing agent is provided along the corrugating material region of the containerboard.
  • Such a boundary layer can be quite effective in minimizing the foregoing problem.
  • Providing a containerboard with such a boundary layer is accomplished in the art in one of two ways.
  • Use of a sizing agent at the wet end of a papermaking process --known as internal sizing-- in a papermaking machine is one way to size a container ⁇ board described in the art.
  • Ketene dimer dispersions for wet end application are described in U.S. Patent Nos.
  • An alkenyl succinic anhydride composition is described in U.S. Patent No. 5,104,486 and 5,176,748.
  • a self emulsifying sizing agent is described in U.S. Patent No, 5,190,616.
  • a second way to size a containerboard is to use a sizing agent in the drying section of a papermaking process -- normally referred to as surface sizing of external sizing-- in a papermaking machine.
  • Various hydrophobic materials are used as external sizing agents, including rosin or rosin derivatives, U.S. Patent Nos.
  • paraffin waxes U.S. Patent No. 3,431,162
  • synthetic resins U.S. Patent No. 4,517,285
  • chemically reactive sizing agents such as alkyl ketene dimer
  • An object of this invention is to provide a process for fabrication of a corrugated containerboard having high strength characteristics when exposed to high humidity or wet conditions.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a corrugating material for use between a pair of spaced apart linerboards in a corrugated containerboard which is highly water resistant and will retain its strength properties under high humidity or wet conditions.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide the foregoing process under conditions that can minimize cost through the use of lower performance water based adhesives, faster machine speeds, and reduced inventory requirements at the corrugator facility.
  • a preferred embodiment of this invention provides the foregoing process by employing a sizing medium which is more environmentally friendly in that it allows containerboards so manufactured to be recycled.
  • a sizing medium which is more environmentally friendly in that it allows containerboards so manufactured to be recycled.
  • an alkyl ketene dimer or an alkyl ketene dimer combined with a starch or starch analog is employed to form the sizing barrier for such container ⁇ boards.

  • the corrugating material is porous in nature.
  • Corrugating material 30 on corrugating material roll 22 is drawn through sizing station 40. There both sides of said corrugating material is coated with a sizing agent of choice. For decreased sizing performance, only first side 32 of said corrugating material may be coated with sizing agent at sizing station 40.
  • either side 32, 34 of said corrugating material may be coated with sizing agent anywhere in the corrugation process so long as sizing agent is applied to said corrugating material before said corrugating material is contacted with an adhesive as described below.
  • the sizing agent is an alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) , or an AKD combined with a starch or a starch analog.
  • AKD alkyl ketene dimer
  • This is an environmentally friendly sizing agent that permits a containerboard manufactured employing it to be recycled. Non- environmentally friendly materials require disposal in a landfill after use.
  • the formulation of AKD used is that available from Hercules under product designation Hereon 70.
  • any sizing agent that will provide the desired sizing to the corrugating material can be used.
  • the AKD sizing agent or AKD/starch formulation can be applied to the moving medium web by a variety of means:
  • a spray system comprised essentially of a header and nozzles which will direct a given quantity of the formula unto the web.
  • a system comprised essentially of a roller(s) that could be smooth, engraved, wire wound, grooved, or modified otherwise which will transfer the formula from the rollers (directly or indirectly) unto the medium.
  • the AKD can be applied to the medium at a minimum of 10 pounds (dry basis) per ton of medium, preferably 15 lbs/ton distributed between the top and bottom surfaces of the medium.
  • a treatment to a single surface will produce medium with acceptable perfor ⁇ mance attributes.
  • the sizing agent when complimented with a starch produces a formula which has the added benefit of increasing the compressive strength of the medium. The increase in this strength improves the container's performance.
  • the quantity of starch used is dependent on the strength improvement desired and can range from 5 to >200 pounds starch per ton cellulose fiber.
  • the sizing station is a Dahlgren coater.
  • the Dahlgren coater makes use of rolls which transfer liquids from a pan onto rolls and subsequently to a substrate.
  • One preferred type of Dahlgren coater is manufactured by BTG and sold under the trademark LAS ® .
  • An arrangement of spray nozzles can be used as well.
  • the nozzles are connected either directly or indirectly with tubing to a HEADER apparatus mounted above the corrugating material. Any apparatus which delivers to the corrugating material the sizing agent of choice at the desired levels to produce the desired coating configuration and sizing performance properties can be used.
  • the spray system makes use of headers, nozzles and spray nozzle pressure which are regulated to deliver a uniform volume of sizing agent to a moving web.
  • manifolds When an arrangement of manifolds are used, one can be placed on each side of the corrugating material.
  • the manifolds are spaced approximately 24 inches apart from each other, and are positioned about 12 inches away from the corrugating material.
  • Each manifold has a row of jet nozzles, spaced about 12 inches apart along the cross direction.
  • the manifolds are designed to deliver sizing agent pressures to the nozzles in the range of 20-100 psi.
  • the jets eject a divergent fan jet of sizing agent downwardly on the corrugating material and can be angled to provide for desired continuous coating. The divergence of the fan jets allow overlap of sizing agent at the surface of the corrugating material to thereby form a more even strip of sizing agent across the width of the corrugating material.
  • the perspective view shown in FIG. 2 of corrugating material 30 as it emerges from corrugating station 50 illustrates the resulting folds of corrugating pattern imparted onto the corrugating material by the corrugating station. Fluted pleats 32 can be seen there to extend across the corrugating material in the cross direction.
  • a preferred corrugating station 50 is the type manufactured by UNITED Container Machinery Group, Inc.
  • the operation of a corrugating station is to create flutes in the material by sandwiching the material between a pair of corrugat ⁇ ing dies 52 and 54.
  • any corrugating station that provides the corrugation of choice can be used.
  • Corrugating material 30 is next drawn through first glue station 60 shown in FIG. 1.
  • the glue station 60 includes rollers 62 and 63 which facilitate movement of the adhesive onto the advancing material. Any suitable application process may be practiced.
  • the adhesive is applied to tips 36 of fluted pleats 32 (shown in FIG. 2) of said corrugating material as it passes through said glue station.
  • An adhesive such as an aqueous suspension of starch, may be used.
  • the starch may incorporate a variety of additives to enhance its performance. Formaldehyde may be an additive. Application rates vary so as to coincide with the rate the liner is bonded to the material.
  • liner paper 91 drawn from liner roll 20 (see FIG. 1) is pressed against first side 32 of corrugating material 30 emerging from glue station 60 so as to bring said liner paper into contact with said adhesive layer on tips 36 of said corrugating material 30. In this way said liner paper is adhered to said corrugating material to form a two part structure of linerboard-to-corrugating material 38 for use as containerboard.
  • sizing agent in wetted state throughout this gluing process allows adhesive from glue station 60 to migrate through the AKD or AKD/starch sizing barrier on said corrugating material and to permeate the underlying corrugating material to the degree necessary to accomplish an effective adhesion of liner paper 91 to said corrugating material.
  • Curing of said glue as two ply container ⁇ board 38 moves down the line of said corrugating machine and is passed through heat station 80 as later described, causes said glue to adhere said liner paper 91 through said sizing agent of said corrugating material to said corrugating material to form a two ply containerboard 38.
  • the unique sizing agent remains in a wetted state thereby allowing the glue function in its maximum capacity.
  • corrugating material 30 with liner paper 91 lightly adhered thereto is typically drawn onto a bridge 70.
  • Build-up is usually effected by one or more apparatus along said bridge 70 which typically backfold incoming two play as required to control the further operations down the line.

  • any suitable glue or application process can be used.
  • One preferred glue is starch based glue and can contain additives such as formaldehyde. The rate of application can be varied to accommodate various adhesives.
  • Liner paper 92 drawn from liner roll 24 is pressed against second side 34 of corrugating material 30 at glue station 64 so as to bring said liner paper into contact with said adhesive layer on tips 37 of said corrugating material.
  • said liner paper is adhered to said corrugating material to form a three ply structure of linerboard-to-corrugating material- to-linerboard for use as a corrugated containerboard.
  • Advanta ⁇ geously, the still wetted state of the sizing agent during the gluing process allows glue to migrate adequately across the sizing agent barrier and into said underlying corrugating material to accomplish effective adhesion of linerboard to corrugating material.
  • Three ply containerboard configuration 39 emerges from second glue station 64 and is passed under heat station 80. There the glue applied at glue stations 62, 64 completes the curing process.
  • the sizing agent is only partially cured. The sizing agent does not undergo a transition when partially cured after the adhesive has been cured and applied to the corrugating material. The sizing agent directly reacts with the cellulose to form a covalent bond.
  • Uncorrugated corrugating material 30 is coated with a sizing agent at station 40 and the coated material is then bunched into fluted pleats arranged to define tips at the ends thereof.
  • the adhesive is applied onto the sizing agent coating on the tips of the fluted pleats formed on one side of the corrugating material.
  • a liner is attached to the adhesive layer on the tips to form a two-part structure of linerboard to corrugating material for use as a corrugated container board. Curing of the sizing agent begins after contact with the heat station in the process.
  • Curing of said sizing agent occurs throughout the entire process in varying degrees, but is generally marginal until the corrugated containerboard is passed through heat station 80, where a significant amount of curing can occur, again depending on the type of sizing agent used, the thickness of the sizing coating applied, the speed of the machine, and the like. Additional curing of the sizing agent that is required occurs after the corrugated containerboard is brought off-line and stored pending use. Cure is a term of art wherein two molecules are linked by a covalent bond.
  • any aqueous or non-aqueous based system may be employed depending on processing requirements and the sizing requirements required of the corrugated container.
  • Other sizing agents such as alkyl succinic anhydride (ASA) , stearic acid anhydride, alkyl isocyanate, styrene maleic anhydride, may also be used provided they are so formulated as to retain wettability and maintain minimum cure during the time that the linerboard is adhering to the corrugating material during manufacture of the corrugated containerboard.
