Description

Composition for the Fluorescent Whitening of Paper
The present invention relates to a composition for the fluorescent whitening of paper, the use thereof in either the pulp mass, in coating of in the metering size-press or fim press and to a process thereto.
Traditional fluorescent whitening agents (FWA's) for paper, as disclosed, for example, in DE
OS 2,715,864, are derivatives of 4,4'-bis{(1 3,5-triazin-2-yl)Jaminojstilbene-2,2'-disuiphonic acid in which the triazine rings are substituted with aniino residues. Depending upon the requirements as to water-solubility and/or affinity, these anilino residues may be unsubstituted or substituted by one or two sulphonic acid groups, the resulting FWA's thus being designated as di-, tetra- or hexa-sulphonic acid derivatives.
However, in certain paper applications, in particular, in the metering size-press or film press, such conventional FWA's are disadvantageous since they either exhibit insufficient affinity (e.g. hexa-sulpho) or show low whitening effects and low saturation points (e.g. di-sulpho).
It is an object of the present invention to provide compositions, which show both high affinity to the paper and, at the same time, are highly effective in whitening with high saturation points.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a composition for the fluorescent whitening of paper comprising a) a fluorescent whitening agent defived from 4 4'-bis|(1,3,5-Inazin-2- yl)amino]stiibene-2,2'-disulphonic acid and characterized by one or both of the triazine rings carrying an -NH, substituent; b) water and c) optionally, further auxiliaries.
These compositions generally comprise to 50% by weight of the FWA component a), 50 to 95% by weight of water and 0 to 40% by weight of component c), each range being based on the total weight of the composition and wherein the sum of the components a) to ¢) amounts to 100%.
Preferably, however, these compositions are free flowing liquids and comprise to 30%, especially 15 to 25% by weight of component a), 70 to 90%, especially 75 to 85%, by weight of water and 0 to 10% by weight of component c), or 0 to 40% in case polyethylene glycol is used as component c), each range being based on the total weight of the composition and wherein the sum of the components a) to ¢) amounts to 100%.
Component a) of the compositions, the fluorescent whitening agent, is a compound of the formula
