Definitions

• the present invention relates to coating flexible materials or supports such as sheets of paper or other polymeric material, either woven or non-woven, with a silicone composition.
• the present invention also relates to the coating of flexible materials or supports with liquid compositions comprising one or more cross-linkable polyorganosiloxanes wherein such polyorganosiloxanes are cross-linkable by an addition reaction, a condensation reaction, a cationic reaction, or a free-radical reaction.
• the present invention also relates to star branched polyorganosiloxanes (silicone polymers) that reduce misting during the application of the silicone composition (polyorganosiloxane) to the flexible material or support.
• the flexible support may be paper, cardboard, plastic film, metal film and the like. Some exemplary applications are paper for foodstuffs, adhesive labels, adhesive tapes, seals and the like.
• the coating of flexible supports with liquid silicones is typically carried out on coating devices that operate continuously at very high speed.
• These devices usually comprise coating heads composed of several rolls, including in particular a pressure roll and a coating roll that are continuously fed with a silicone composition that may or may not be cross-linkable, by means of a series of rolls that are placed next to one another.
• a strip of flexible support of the desired material to be coated is fed at high speed between the pressure roll and the coating roll to be coated on at least one of its surfaces.
• apparatus to implement a cross linking reaction are positioned downstream of the coating head.
• the apparatus that implements cross linking may be for example an oven or an emitter of radiation, e.g. ultraviolet (UN) radiation or an emitter of a beam of electrons (EB).
• UV ultraviolet
• EB beam of electrons
• High speed coating of flexible supports with silicones has been associated with problems associated with the transfer of the silicone liquid (or fluid) from the coating roll to the flexible support, which moves forward through the coating apparatus.
• One of the particular problems associated with transfer of the silicone liquid from the coating roll to the flexible support is the appearance of a fog, mist or aerosol in the immediate vicinity of the coating head and particularly close to the points of contact between the coating roll and the flexible support being coated.
• the density of this fog, mist or aerosol increases with an increase in the forward speed of the flexible support being coated by the apparatus.
• the first effect of this transfer problem is to reduce the amount of silicone liquid actually transferred to the flexible support.
• a second effect is for the droplets comprising the fog, mist or aerosol to condense onto the newly coated flexible support downstream of the coating rolls creating an orange peel effect.
• This orange peel effect, or coating non-uniformity creates problems with coverage, the mechanical properties of the coating, e.g. ruboff, and adhesion resistance.
• An additional problem caused by non-uniformity in the coating is related to industrial hygiene and the safety of people operating the coating equipment who are working in the vicinity of the coating equipment.

• Table 2 shows the anti misting behavior of the invention.
• the measurements were made during runs on 2.5 mil SC Rhi-Liner 12 paper using a pilot coater with a line speed of 2000 ft/minute.
• the paper was coated with a standard silicone paper release formulation containing ⁇ 2% anti mist additive with a target of 0.6 to 0.9 pounds per ream.
• the mist was measured using a DustTrack Aerosol Monitor.
• the intake port was positioned in the highest observed misting area thus providing the highest expected values. The position does not reflect normal environmental testing nor does it guarantee specific values under all operating conditions.
• the measurement is in mg of mist material per cubic meter of air, the lower values being more desirable as they represent less misting.
• the anti misting materials generated for this invention reduce the amount of generated mist at 2000 ft/min compared to the control formulation containing no anti mist additive. Quite surprisingly the mist is often reduced by a factor of greater than ten, often by about 100.
