Description

PAPER SIZING COMPOSITION
. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
I. Field of the Invention ) This invention relates to paper sizing compositions containing a) sizing agent, b) dispersant system, and c) inorganic salt, and also to methods of sizing paper using such compositions, and to products made using such sizing compositions. 2. Background of the Invention
Cellulose-reactive sizing agents, such as alkyl ketene dimers (AKDs), are widely used in the paper making industry as components in sizing dispersion formulations. The usefulness of such agents derives from their ability to bond directly to the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose component of the paper. Frequently, in these sizing formulations, the sizes, e.g., AKDs, are combined with dispersant systems which include cationic starch and/or sodium lignosulfonate. Examples of such dispersions can be found in U.S. Patent No. 4,861,376, to Edwards, and U.S. Patent No. 3,223,544, to Savina, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The usefulness of inorganic salts such as alum, or aluminum containing salts, in paper making processes has also been known for some time. Practically, these salts greatly improve machine productivity by enhancing dewatering. As a general rule, the higher the concentration of the salts, the better the dewatering capacity.
The combination of organic sizing agents such as AKD dispersions and inorganic ~~ _ salts such as alum is thus a valuable combination, providing both sizing and dewatering_ _. — capacity. Examples of such combinations are presented in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,145,522 to Nakagawa et al. and 5,627,224, to Lyrmalm et al., the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The problem encountered by this combination, however, is that organic sizing agents tend to be quite incompatible with inorganic salts, separating ' out if the concentration of the inorganic salts becomes too high in a liquid phase of the organic sizing dispersion.
There is, therefore, a need in the art for a dispersant system which is compatible with inorganic salts and organic sizing agents. A number of dispersant systems have been described in the literature. For example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,627,224, an amphoteric polymer is used as the sole dispersant to incorporate polyaluminum ) compounds in dispersions of AKD. However, achieving good stability in compositions containing organic sizes and inorganic salts has been elusive. Thus, there is a need in the * 5 art for compositions which solve the aforementioned problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INV ENTION
This invention provides paper sizing compositions containing inorganic salt, dispersant system, and cellulose-reactive sizing agent, such as ketene dimer. The sizing compositions of the present invention are stable, even under the environment of high concentration of inorganic salts. The sizing compositions, including the inorganic salts, together with the dispersants, promote action of the reactive sizing agents and provide improved dewatering efficiency during paper making.
Unless otherwise indicated, all percentages, parts, ratios, etc. stated herein are by weight. Moreover, all percent values in this application, unless otherwise stated, are. - SEIT oo | calculated by weight based upon 100% of a given sample weight. Thus, for example, 30% represents 30 weight parts out of every 100 weight parts of the sample.
Unless otherwise stated, a reference to a compound or component, includes the compound or component by itself, as well as in combination with other compounds or components, such as mixtures of compounds. For example, as used herein, the term cellulose-reactive size is meant to include cellulose-reactive sizes, alone and/or ) combinations of cellulose-reactive sizes, and the term inorganic salt is meant to include inorganic salts, alone and/or combinations of inorganic salts.
As used herein, the term “hydrocarbyl” is understood to include “aliphatic,” “cycloaliphatic,” and “aromatic.” The hydrocarbyl groups are understood to include . alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, and alkaryl groups. Further, “hydrocarbyl” is understood to include both non-substituted hydrocarbyl groups, and substituted hydrocarbyl groups, with the latter referring to the hydrocarbon portion bearing additional substituents, besides carbon and hydrogen.
As used herein, the term “stable” means the claimed composition meets at least three criteria: 1) the composition does not gel for an aging period of at least two weeks; 2) the aqueous composition maintains a viscosity less than 5,000 centipoise for an aging period of at least two weeks; and 3) the aqueous composition does not separate into separate phases during an aging period of at least two weeks. Each criterion is described below.
The first criterion is the absence of gelling. As used herein, gel or gelling means the composition exhibits solid-like behavior under the action of mechanical force.
Gelling should be tested as follows: immediately after making the composition, two samples are placed in 100-gram bottles. The first bottle is tested immediately for gelling.
A simple test for gelling is done by observing the sample while slowly tilting to 15°. If the sample does not flow, it is considered gelled. The second bottle is tested for gelling after storage for two weeks at 32°C. Gelling is measured at room temperature.
The second criterion is viscosity. Preferably, the viscosity of the sample is less than 5,000, more preferably less than 4,000, even more preferably less than 3,000, even
Co ~ more preferably less than 1,000, even more preferably less than 500, even more. a preferably less than 300, and most preferably less than 200 centipoises. Viscosity is determined by using a Brookfield DV-II viscometer. The choice of spindle and speed (RPM) is readily determined by one of skill in the art. Viscosity should be tested as follows: immediately after making the composition, two 100-gram samples are placed ’ in 100-gram bottles. The first bottle is tested immediately for its viscosity. The second bottle is tested for its viscosity after storage for two weeks at 32°C. Prior to testing, each sample bottle should be allowed to come to room temperature.
