  • neat solid wax as those listed in Table 5 the neat wax was first pre-dispersed in TPGDA monomer in 25% loading and mixed with a Cowles blade mixer until the paste was homogeneous.
  • MVTR and gloss values were measured and recorded in Table 4.
  • the backside coating was coated on the non-clay coated side of the 20 point recycle board using wire wound rod # 10 and dried in 120°C oven for 10 seconds.
  • the coatings for the clay side was applied with a wire wound rod #4 and dried at 120°C for 5 seconds.
  • the EB coating was applied on the clay side (or over the dried water-based primer/sealer) with a wire wound rod #3 and then cured with Advance Electron Beam (AEB) lab curing unit at 3 Mrad, under nitrogen with ⁇ 200 ppm oxygen level.
  • AEB Advance Electron Beam
  • Example 1 Sealer 1 was coated on the non-clay coated side of the substrate using a wire wound rod #10, from Paul N. Gardner Co., Inc. (all wire wound rods used herein were from Paul N. Gardner Co., Inc.) and dried in 120°C oven for 10 seconds. Primer 1 was applied on the clay coated side of the same paperboard using wire wound rod #4 and dried at 120°C for 5 seconds. EB 1 coating was applied on top on the dried Primer 1 with a wire wound rod #3 and then cured with a EB lab curing unit at 3 Mrad, under nitrogen with ⁇ 200 ppm oxygen level.
  • Example 2 The multilayer coatings with the following configurations were prepared in the same manner as Example 1. Primer 2 was coated on both sides of the substrate. EB 1 coating was applied on top of the dried Primer 2 on the clay coated side of the substrate.
  • Example 3 The multilayer coatings with the following configurations were prepared in the same manner as above Examples. Sealer 1 was applied on the non-clay coated side of the substrate. Primer 2 was coated on the clay coated side of the board. EB 1 coating was applied on top of the dried Primer 2 on the clay coated side of the substrate.
  • Example 4 The multiplayer coatings with the following configurations were prepared in the same manner above examples. Sealer 2 coating was applied on the clay coated side of the substrate. Primer 3 coating was applied on top of the dried Sealer 2 coating. EB 1 coating was applied on top of the dried Primer 3 coating.
  • Samples 5-1 Samples 5 to 13 were prepared in the same manner as above examples with the noted configurations in Table 4.
  • Control Samples Commercially available oriented polypropylene (OPP) 0.75 mil film laminated onto a 26 point one-side clay coated (ClS) recycled paperboard was used as Control 1. The same substrate with partially printed with water-based ink was used as Control 2. Plain 20 point, 26 points, and 30 points CIS paperboards (without the OPP film) were used as Control 3, Control 4 and Control 5, respectively.
  • OPP oriented polypropylene
  • Table 4 demonstrates that OPP laminated paperboards Controls 1 and 2 have lower MVTR values than plain paperboards: Control 3, 4 and 5.
  • Examples 1-4 have comparable MVTR values (less than 80gsm/day) as those of OPP laminated Controls 1 and 2.
  • Examples 1-4 have MVTR values that are about 200 times lower than plain paperboard.
  • the gloss values of Examples 1-4 are comparable to Controls 1 and 2 (higher than 60GU).
  • Table 4 also demonstrates that the combined multilayer of the sealer, primer and topcoat had MVTR values lower than Examples 5 to 13. Moreover, samples without any EB topcoat had much lower gloss values than those with EB topcoat.
  • Table 5 lists various types of micronized waxes evaluated as moisture barrier EB coatings. The listed waxes were replaced in Topcoat 1 and the resultant MVTR and gloss measurements are recorded in Table 5.
  • 80gsm/day and a gloss level greater than 60 GU were carnauba, Montan, paraffin alloy, oxidized polyethylene, modified polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, and ethylene-bis-stearamide. Polyethylene and carnauba alloy, while hydrophobic, fail to improve moisture impermeability properties to MVTR level of less than 80gsm/day. Although a combination of PTFE and Fischer Tropsch waxes impart a MVTR level less than 80gsm/day, the gloss level was less than 60 GU.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une composition de revêtement durcissable par rayonnements respectueuse de l'environnement et un procédé d'utilisation de la composition de revêtement pour des substrats de papier et de carton. La composition de revêtement durcissable par rayonnements comprend un monomère acrylate, un oligomère acrylate, une cire micronisée et facultativement un photoinitiateur. La composition de revêtement durcissable par rayonnements fournit une barrière contre la vapeur et l'humidité élevée tout en maintenant une clarté optique du revêtement. L'invention concerne également une composition de revêtement durcissable par rayonnements qui se sépare facilement à partir d'un substrat recyclable lors de l'exposition à une solution alcaline.
