Figure 1 schematically shows, as a paper tube according to the embodiment of the present invention, for example, a paper straw. As shown in Fig. 1, a paper tube (paper straw) 1 comprises an
The paper tube according to the embodiment of the present invention is excellent in water resistance and therefore can be used for, in addition to paper straws, cores for toilet papers, information papers, calendars, films, tapes and carpets, and packing materials as a substitute for corrugated cardboards, and the like.
(A) Stabilizer
(A-1) Polymer having a carboxyl group (JONCRYL679 (trade name), manufactured by BASF Japan Ltd.) and an acid value of 200 mgKOH/g
(A-2) Polymer having a carboxyl group (SOLURYL 820 (trade name), manufactured by Hanwha Chemical Corporation) and an acid value of 205 mgKOH/g
(A-3) Polymer having a hydroxyl group (OKS-8041 (trade name), manufactured by The Nippon Synthetic Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) and an acid value of 0 mgKOH/g
(A-4) Polymer having a hydroxyl group (DENKA POVAL B-17 (trade name), manufactured by Denka Company Limited) and an acid value of 0 mgKOH/g
(A-5) Polymer having a hydroxyl group (DENKA POVAL B-24T (trade name), manufactured by Denka Company Limited) and an acid value of 0 mgKOH/g
(B-1) Butyl acrylate (n-butyl acrylate)
(B-2) 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate
(B-3) Styrene
(B-4) Methyl methacrylate
(B-5) Vinyl acetate
(C-1); Sumikaflex 408HQE (manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited)
In a four-necked flask equipped with a stirring blade, a thermometer and a reflux condenser, 100 parts by mass of distilled water, 40 parts by mass of (A-1) and 7 parts by mass of 25% ammonia water were charged. After stirring while blowing a nitrogen gas into the four-necked flask, the liquid temperature was maintained at 70°C.
Meanwhile, a mixture of 75 parts by mass of (B-1) and 25 parts by mass of (B-2), and an aqueous solution of 1.3 parts by mass of sodium persulfate and 19 parts by mass of water were prepared.
About 4% by volume of the mixture and about 30% by volume of the aqueous solution were respectively charged in the four-necked flask. After stirring to initiate emulsion polymerization, the remaining (about 96% by volume) mixture and the remaining (about 70% by volume) aqueous solution were simultaneously added dropwise in the four-necked flask over about 4 hours.
After completion of the dropwise addition, stirring was continued for about an hour and a half while maintaining the liquid temperature at 70°C, and then the reaction mixture thus obtained was cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 8 by adding ammonia water to give an aqueous adhesive. This aqueous adhesive is an emulsion because of its turbidity, and is therefore an emulsion composition. The glass transition temperature of the copolymer of (B) shown in Table 1 is the value theoretically calculated based on the Tg of the homopolymer of the monomer (B).
The test result of the aqueous adhesive thus obtained is shown in Table 1.
Using the same manner as in Example 1, except that each component was changed as shown in Table 1, aqueous adhesives of Examples 2 to 5 were produced. The test results of the aqueous adhesives thus obtained are shown in Table 1.
Using the respective components changed as shown in Table 1, a vinyl acetate emulsion including polyvinyl alcohol as a stabilizer was produced by a conventional method. Specifically, 225-1025 manufactured by Henkel Japan Ltd. was used.
As the ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) emulsion, Sumikaflex 408HQE manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited was used as it is.
1. Stability
Each of the synthesized aqueous adhesives was dispensed into 100 ml aliquots, followed by dilution with 100 ml of distilled water to prepare samples. After storage at room temperature for 24 hours, the state of each sample was visually observed. Evaluation criteria are as follows.
A: Coagulation, precipitation and separation of the copolymer of (B) were not observed in all samples and the samples were found to be a uniform emulsion.
B: Coagulation, precipitation or separation of the copolymer of (B) was observed in less than 30% of samples.
C: Coagulation, precipitation or separation of the copolymer of (B) was observed in 30% or more of samples.
Using a bar coater, an aqueous adhesive was applied on a common high-quality (or wood-free) paper and, immediately after application, the high-quality paper and an uncoated high-quality paper were bonded each other and then dried at 105°C for 5 minutes to fabricate a laminated sample. This laminated sample was cut into pieces of 2.5 cm in length, followed by immersion in 50 ml of distilled water at 60°C and further observation of the state after immersion. Evaluation criteria are as follows.
A: Peeling does not occur at a bonding surface after 1 hour and a high-quality paper causes material fracture when peeling by hands.
B: Peeling does not occur at a bonding surface after 1 hour and a high-quality paper peels off at a bonding interface when peeling by hands.
C: Peeling occurs at a bonding surface after 1 hour.
Therefore, the aqueous adhesives of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are remarkably inferior in water resistance. The aqueous adhesive of Comparative Example 2 is also inferior in stability.
