- other ingredients are incorporated into a cellulose substrate during the manufacture of the same at the paper mill.
- said derivatives are generally introduced in the formulations employed in size-press treatment, coating treatment, calender water box treatment or in wet-end treatment in the paper machines.
- a paper machine is actually a large de-watering device consisting generally of a head box, a wire section, press section and dryer section wherein, starting from a dilute suspension of fibres (and possibly fillers, dyes and other chemicals) which is homogenously fed onto a fine mesh through which the water drains, a fibres web forms and is conveyed onto subsequent pressing and drying stages.
- the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives are introduced in the initial fibres suspension dispersion and caused to deposit onto the fibres during web formation.
- the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives When used in the size-press treatment, the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives are caused to impregnate the web of paper fibers by passing this latter into a sizing liquid pond located above a roll nip. As a result, the paper web absorbs the sizing liquor including the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives.
- the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives When used in a coating treatment, the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives are caused to impregnate the web of paper fibers by passing this latter through a coater, typically a rod or metering blade.

Description
Composition of (per)fluoropolyethers for the treatment of cellulosic substrates Cross-reference to related applications
[0001] This application claims priority to US 62/268894 provisional application filed on 17 Dec 2015 and EP 16156567.6 filed on 19 Feb 2016, the whole content of these applications being incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
Technical field
[0002] The present invention relates to a composition for the treatment of cellulosic substrates, in particular to a composition for imparting grease and oil repellence to cellulosic substrates.
Background art
[0003] The use of fluorochemicals for the treatment of packagings, in particular
packagings comprising a cellulosic substrate, to confer grease and oil repellence thereto is known in the art.
[0004] Among the fluorochemicals used for such purpose, (per)fluoropolyether
derivatives stand out for their favourable toxicological properties.
[0005] EP 0687533 A (AUSIMONT S.P.A.) 20/12/1995 , EP 1 138826 A
(AUSIMONT S.P.A.) 04/10/2001 , EP 1371676 A (SOLVAY SOLEXIS S.P.A.) 17/12/2003 , EP 1327649 A (SOLVAY SOLEXIS S.P.A.) 16/07/2003 and WO 2010/000715 A (SOLVAY SOLEXIS S.P.A.) 07/01/2010 disclose methods for conferring oil repellence to substrates, in particular cellulosic substrates, using (per)fluoropolyethers comprising phosphate groups and EP 1225178 A (AUSIMONT S.P.A.) 24/07/2002 specifically discloses a process for the manufacture of mixtures of phosphoric mono- and diesters of
(per)fluoropolyethers. WO 2010/000715 A further discloses the use of (per)fluoropolyether carboxylates and of (per)fluoropolyethers comprising at least one urethane moiety for conferring oil repellence to substrates. Such use of (per)fluoropolyether carboxylates is also known from EP 1690882 A
(SOLVAY SOLEXIS S.P.A) 16/08/2006 , EP 1484445 A (SOLVAY SOLEXIS S.P.A.) 08/12/2004 and EP 1489124 A (SOLVAY SOLEXIS S.P.A.)
22/12/2004 , while such use of (per)fluoropolyethers comprising at least one urethane moiety is also disclosed in EP 1273704 A (AUSIMONT S.P.A.) 08/01/2010 .
[0006] Said (per)fluoropolyether derivatives are typically used in the form of a
composition (or formulation) with other ingredients and are incorporated into a cellulose substrate during the manufacture of the same at the paper mill. Actually, said derivatives are generally introduced in the formulations employed in size-press treatment, coating treatment, calender water box treatment or in wet-end treatment in the paper machines.
[0007] A paper machine is actually a large de-watering device consisting generally of a head box, a wire section, press section and dryer section wherein, starting from a dilute suspension of fibres (and possibly fillers, dyes and other chemicals) which is homogenously fed onto a fine mesh through which the water drains, a fibres web forms and is conveyed onto subsequent pressing and drying stages.
[0008] In the wet-end treatment, the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives are introduced in the initial fibres suspension dispersion and caused to deposit onto the fibres during web formation.
[0009] When used in the size-press treatment, the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives are caused to impregnate the web of paper fibers by passing this latter into a sizing liquid pond located above a roll nip. As a result, the paper web absorbs the sizing liquor including the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives.
[0010] When used in a coating treatment, the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives are caused to impregnate the web of paper fibers by passing this latter through a coater, typically a rod or metering blade. As a result, a thin film of coating of (per)fluoropolyether derivative is applied to the surface of the paper web.
[001 1] When used in a calendar water box, the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives are caused to impregnate the web of paper fibers by passing this latter through a calender stack equipped with a water box. The water box applies a dilute
solution of (per)fluoropolyether derivative to the calender roll which is then transferred to the paper web.
[0012] In the above processes, the (per)fluoropolyether derivative is used in the form of a liquid composition comprising an aqueous or a solvent medium. The composition may contain additional ingredients, such as water-dispersible or water-soluble organic polymers, latexes, hydrosols, starch, sodium alginate, carboxy methyl cellulose, proteins, pigments, dyes and other additives, such as clays, dispersants, lubricants, defoamers, film-formers, antifoamers, cross- linkers, chelating agents and water-sizing agents.
[0013] However, in all such processes, a significant amount of (per)fluoropolyether derivative is caused to penetrate the entire thickness and surface of the substrate, while grease and oil repellence are required only at the surface of certain areas of the finished substrate, in particular of paper. Also,
(per)fluoropolyether derivatives are lost with broken and trimmed paper.
Actually, for cellulosic substrates, (per)fluoropolyether derivatives costs contribution represents a high fraction of the final cost of the finished substrate: even if present in amounts ranging from 0.1 to 1 % by weight with respect to the dry cellulose fibres, the (per)fluoropolyether derivatives represent from 10% up to 50% of the total costs (including the process water, the energy and the cellulose). It is thus essential to reduce consumption of such derivatives, their recycle and improper sizing.
[0014] There is therefore still a continuous need to improve the grease and oil
repellence of substrates while keeping the amount of (per)fluoropolyether derivative as low as possible.
Disclosure of the invention
[0015] The Applicant has surprisingly found out that compositions comprising a
(per)fluoropolyether phosphate, a polysaccharide and a hydroxy-carboxylic acid comprising at least one carboxylic acid group and at least one hydroxyl group, confer remarkably higher grease and oil repellence to substrates, in particular cellulose substrates, than compositions which do not contain the
said carboxylic acid and that this effect is achieved at concentrations of (per)fluoropolyether lower than 1 % with respect to the weight of the composition.
[0016] Accordingly, the present invention relates to a composition [composition (C)] which comprises:
- at least one (per)fluoropolyether phosphate [PFPE-phosphate (P1 )];
- at least one polysaccharide [polymer (P2)]; and
- at least one hydroxy-carboxylic acid comprising at least one carboxylic acid group and at least one hydroxyl group [hydroxy-carboxylic acid (A)].
[0017] The invention further relates to a method [method (M)] for imparting grease and oil repellence to a substrate, in particular a cellulosic substrate, which comprises applying to said substrate a composition (C) and to a substrate [substrate (S)], in particular a packaging, treated with composition (C).

phosphate (P1 ) in the composition is low and even if the pH of composition (C) is acidic, typically below 4. This is surprising, because, for stability reasons, PPFE-phosphate water compositions having a pH of about 7 to 8 have been used.

section by means of non-limiting examples.
[0067] Should the disclosure of any patents, patent applications, and publications which are incorporated herein by reference conflict with the description of the present application to the extent that it may render a term unclear, the present description shall take precedence.

Kit test (Determination of oil repellence)
[0078] Paper sheets A* - K were submitted to the so-called 'kit-test' or 'Grease
Resistance Test for Paper and Paperboard' according to TAPPI Test Method T 559 cm-02 standard. This industry standard test evaluates oil/grease resistance properties of paper. In practice, grease resistance is evaluated with respect to twelve solutions with varying strengths of castor oil, toluene, heptane and turpentine (the solutions are numbered from 1 to 12; 1 is being the least aggressive and 12 is being the most aggressive). The higher the rating, and the higher the oil repellence of the paper sheet.
FATTY ACID TEST (N FA test)
[0079] The resistance of paper sheets A* - K to fatty acids was determined as
follows. Fatty acids solutions (FA solutions) numbered from 1 to 1 1 (from less to most aggressive) were prepared blending different amounts of castor oil, oleic acid (C18: 1 ) and octanoic acid (C8:0).
Specimens paper sheets A* - K were introduced in an oven maintained at 60° C and 5 drops of each FA solution were dipped onto each specimen. After 5 minutes at 60°C, the oil drops were removed with absorbent tissue and the specimens were inspected for darkening of the surface.
The rating of each paper sheet corresponds to the highest number of the fatty acid solution that causes no alteration to the surface.
Determination of the fluorine concentration on the paper sheets surface
[0080] The fluorine concentration on each paper sheet surface was determined by oxygen-combustion, followed by potentiometric analysis using a standardized fluoride ion selective electrode.
Test results and discussion
[0081 ] The results of the Kit Test, NFA test and of the determination of the fluorine content are reported in Table 2 below.

[0083] The results reported in the table show that sheets treated with the
compositions according to the invention, comprising PT5045 PG or PT5045 EA, CMC or Scogin® MV alginic acid with citric acid have significantly higher performance in the Kit test and NFA Test with respect to comparative compositions containing only the same amount of PT5045 PG or PT5045 EA (compare composition D with composition A* and compositions H - K with composition G*) and to comparative compositions containing the same amount of PT5045 PG or PT5045 EA in combination with CMC or Scogin® MV alginic acid (compare composition D with compositions B* and C*) and composition F with composition E*). It is noted that high performance was achieved at very low concentrations of PFPE-phosphate (0.25%wt in compositions A*-C* and E* and 0.50%wt in composition G*) and even if the pH values of the compositions was below 4.
[0084] The results also show that the sheets treated with the compositions according to the invention have a significantly higher fluorine content than sheets treated with compositions comprising only the PFPE-phosphate or compositions comprising the PFPE-phosphate, CMC and alginic acid
(compare D with compositions A*-C*, composition F with composition E* and compositions H - K with composition G*).
