Description
OIL AND GREASE REPELLANT AQUEOUS DISPERSIONS, OIL AND GREASE REPELLANT CELLULOSE FIBER ARTICLES,
AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to paper treatment aqueous dispersions comprising a colloidal dispersion of clay nanoparticles and an aqueous fluorochemical that can be applied to or in paper and paperboard products and cellulose fiber products. Paper and paperboard products and cellulose fiber products that have been modified by these aqueous dispersions, which result in having improved oil and grease penetration properties, are also disclosed.
BACKGROUND OF THE TECHNOLOGY [0002] Waxes and fluorochemicals have been applied topically to cellulose fiber products, such as paper and paperboard, in the past to provide oil and grease resistance, but have suffered from high cost accompanying the conversion from C8 telomer fluorochemicals to C6 telomer and perfluoropolyether (PFPE) fluorochemcials. These newer fluorochemicals are thought to have lower risk of degradation into products harmful to the environment but are also less efficient.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] There is a desire to reduce the overall usage of fluorochemicals for environmental and cost reasons. Thus, it can be understood that oil and grease
resistant compositions that reduce the amount of fluorochemicals used, but still retain good oil and grease resistance, are in demand.
[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to further extend the effectiveness of fluorochemicals and to produce a paper or paperboard or cellulose fiber product with improved stiffness, print clarity, adhesion, release and friction characteristics while still retaining desirable oil and grease repellency and holdout attributes.
[0005] The invention disclosed herein provides oil and grease resistant aqueous dispersions comprising aqueous dispersions of clay nanoparticles that can be combined with traditional paper fluorochemicals. Paper and paperboard and cellulose fiber products treated with the disclosed dispersions show superior oil and grease resistance properties over prior fluorochemical and silicone treated papers and paperboard and cellulose fiber products. Treated paper and paperboard and cellulose fiber products also show improved stiffness, print clarity, adhesion, release and friction characteristics over prior fluorochemical or silicone treated papers and paperboard and cellulose fiber products. The nanoparticles are shown to act as a fluorochemical extender allowing oil and grease resistant properties on the papers and paperboard and cellulose fiber products at reduced fluorochemical levels on the weight of papers and
paperboard and cellulose fiber products.
[0006] Clay nanoparticles can be effective extenders for fluorochemicals in fluorochemical water and oil and grease resistance treatment compositions directed to papers and paperboard and cellulose fiber products. Specifically, the amount of fluorochemical required for a given oil and grease resistance effect is
surprisingly reduced by inclusion of clay nanoparticles in the fluorochemical formulation or emulsion, resulting in effective oil and grease resistance at substantially reduced fluorine levels compared to the prior formulations. When papers and paperboard and cellulose fiber products are treated with the disclosed aqueous dispersions, the clay particles are essentially hydrophilic but are still effective as extenders of the hydrophobic properties that would otherwise be expected to depend on the fluorochemical concentration alone. Under certain conditions, aqueous dispersions of clay nanoparticles are shown to impart many of the same benefits expected from fluorochemicals alone.
[0007] In one aspect, an aqueous dispersion for oil and grease resistance is provided comprising at least one clay nanoparticle component and a
fluorochemical is provided. The clay nanoparticle component can be either natural or synthetic. The fluorochemical can comprise any chemical containing a carbon-fluorine moiety.
[0008] In another aspect, a cellulose fiber substrate comprising a surface treatment comprising at least one clay nanoparticle component and a
fluorochemical is provided. The cellulose fiber substrate can be any paper or paperboard type material.
[0009] In a further aspect, a process of making an oil and grease resistant cellulose fiber substrate using the oil and grease resistant aqueous dispersions discussed above is provided. Such process comprises applying said aqueous dispersions onto said cellulose fibers on the dry end (size press or coater) or wet end of a papermaking process in an amount resulting in said at least one clay
nanoparticle component present in an amount from about 100 ppm (parts per million - particle weight per weight of the dry paper fiber) to about 4000 ppm OWPF, including from about 500 ppm to about 1500 ppm OWPF, from about 500 ppm to about 1000 ppm OWPF, from about 1000 ppm to about 1500 ppm, from about 1000 ppm to about 2000 ppm OWPF, and from about 1500 ppm to about 2000 ppm OWPF, on the surface of the cellulose fiber substrate; and said fluorochemical present in an amount that results in an elemental fluorine content of from about 25 ppm to about 1000 ppm OWPF, including from about 25 to about 500 ppm OWPF, from about 75 ppm to about 150 ppm OWPF, from about 75 ppm to about 200 ppm OWPF, from about 100 ppm to about 200 ppm OWPF, and from about 140 ppm to about 150 ppm OWPF, on the surface of said cellulose substrate. The fluorochemical and clay nanoparticle can be added to the wet end or dry end of a paper process. The treated cellulose fiber substrate is then cured. (Curing refers to the process of drying the solvent used to carry the solution onto the substrate and/or melt spreading the fluorochemical. This can optionally be done using a heating step.).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[00014] An oil and grease resistance aqueous dispersion is disclosed comprising at least one clay nanoparticle component and a fluorochemical. The clay nanoparticle component can refer to particles substantially comprising minerals of the following geological classes: smectites, kaolins, illites, chlorites, and attapulgites. These classes include specific clays such as montmorillonite, bentonite, pyrophyllite, hectorite, saponite, sauconite, nontronite, talc, beidellite, volchonskoite, vermiculite, kaolinite, dickite, antigorite, anauxite, indellite, chrysotile, bravaisite, suscovite, paragonite, biotite, corrensite, penninite, donbassite, sudoite, pennine, sepiolite, and polygorskyte. The clay
nanoparticles can be either synthetic or natural, including synthetic hectorite, and Laponite® from Rockwood Additives Ltd. The Laponite® clay nanoparticles can be Laponite RD®, Laponite RDS®, Laponite JS®, and Laponite S482®.
[00015] The fluorochemicals can include any liquid containing at least one dispersed or emulsified fluorine containing polymer or oligomer. The liquid can also contain other non-fluorine containing compounds. Examples of
fluorochemical compositions used in the disclosed composition include anionic, cationic, or nonionic fluorochemicals such as the fluorochemical allophanates
disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,606,737; fluorochemical polyacrylates disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,574,791 and 4,147,85; fluorochemical urethanes disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,398,182; fluorochemical carbodiimides disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,024,178; and fluorochemical guanidines disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,497. The above listed patents are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. A short chain fluorochemical with less than or equal to six fluorinated carbons per fluorinated side-chain bound to the active ingredient polymer or surfactant can also be used. The short chain fluorochemicals can be made using fluorotelomer raw materials or by electrochemical fluorination. Another fluorochemical that can be used in the disclosed composition is a fluorochemical emulsion sold as Capstone® P-600 or P-620 or P-623 or P-640 (all referred to as "Capstone®) from DuPont.
[00016] The disclosed oil and grease resistance aqueous dispersion can be made using various techniques. One technique comprises contacting at least one clay nanoparticle component with water to form an aqueous clay
nanoparticle solution. Aqueous solvent mixtures containing low molecular weight alcohols (such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and the like) can also be used to disperse the clay. The clay nanoparticle component can be present in an amount from about 0.01 % to about 25% weight in solution, including about 1 % to about 20%, about 0.05% to about 15%, about 0.01 % to about 5%, about 0.05% to about 5%, about 0.5% to about 5%, and about 5% to about 15%. When Laponite® is used as the clay nanoparticle, the concentration is from about 0.05% to about 25% weight in solution, including from about 0.05% to 1 % w/w
and from about 5% to about 15% w/w. The aqueous clay nanoparticle solution is then contacted with a fluorochemical to form the oil and grease resistant aqueous dispersion. The % elemental fluorine in the combined dispersion can be present in an amount from about 0.0001% to about 5% weight fluorine atoms present in dispersion, including about 0.001% to about 2%, about 0.001% to about 0.8%, about 0.005% to about 0.5%, about 0.005% to about 0.15%, about 0.01% to about 1%, about 0.025% to about 0.5%, and about 0.05% to about 0.5%. When Capstone® is used as the fluorochemical, the concentration is from about 0.005% to about 0.5%, including from about 0.005% to about 0.15% depending on the wet pick-up percentage of the application to the fibers. When formulating the aqueous dispersions, the weight percent of clay nanoparticle component should remain higher than the weight percent fluorine. Typical weight percent ratios of clay nanoparticles to fluorine range from about 5000:1 to about 2:1 , including about 3000:1 , about 1500:1 , about 1000:1 , about 500:1 , about 100:1 , about 50:1 , about 25:1 , and about 10:1.
[00017] The disclosed oil and grease resistant aqueous dispersion can be applied to various types of paper and paperboard and cellulose products as a surface treatment. The disclosed oil and grease resistant aqueous dispersions can be applied to a paper or paperboard or cellulose fiber structure using various techniques known in the art. Such techniques include spraying, dipping, coating, foaming, painting, brushing, and rolling the aqueous dispersion on to the cellulose substrate. After application, the paper or paperboard or cellulose is then heat cured at a temperature of from about 25°C to about 200°C, including
from about 30°C to about 125 °C; and a time of from about 1 second to about 40 minutes, including 5 minutes.
[00018] Once applied, the clay nanoparticle component can be present in an amount from about 200 ppm to about 4000 ppm OWPF, including from about 500 ppm to about 1500 ppm OWPF, from about 500 ppm to about 1000 ppm OWPF, from about 1000 ppm to about 1500 ppm OWPF, from about 1000 ppm to about 2000 ppm OWPF and from about 1500 ppm to about 2000 ppm OWPF, on the surface of the fiber, yarn or textile. The fluorochemical can also be present in an amount that results in an elemental fluorine content of from about 25 ppm to about 1000 ppm OWPF, including from about 25 ppm to about 500 ppm OWPF, from about 75 ppm to about 150 ppm OWPF, from about 75 ppm to about 200 ppm OWPF, from about 100 ppm to about 200 ppm OWPF, and from about 140 ppm to about 50 ppm OWPF, on the surface of the paper and paperboard and cellulose. When applying the aqueous dispersions, the OWPF of the clay nanoparticle component should remain higher than the OWPF of fluorine.
Typical OWPF ratios of nanoparticles to fluorine can range from about 80:1 to about 1.5:1 , including about 27:1 , about 20:1 , about 13:1 , about 10:1 , about 7.5:1 , and about 5:1. Additional components can be added to the oil and grease resistant compositions disclosed above. Such components can include silicones, optical brighteners, antibacterial components, anti-oxidant stabilizers, coloring agents, light stabilizers, UV absorbers, wetting agents, starch, polyvinyl alcohol, retention aids and wet strength aids.
[00019] The nanoparticles are shown to act as a fluorochemical extender allowing oil and grease resistant properties on the paper and paperboard and cellulose at reduced fluorine levels on the weight of paper fiber.
