Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved resin system for imparting wet strength to paper which yields a sheet which is readily repulpable.
- wet strength paper Paper which is manufactured with chemical additives to improve the physical properties when in contact with a water-containing medium is known as wet strength paper.
- the wet strength resins which provide these properties are classified as being either “permanent” or “temporary, " based on the permanence of the wet strength they provide.
- a number of chemical treatments have been used to impart permanent wet strength to paper, but the most common, by far, is the use of aminoplast and polyamide-epichlorohydrin (PAE) resins.
- wet strength paperboard products are difficult to repulp because they utilize permanent wet strength resins.
- the addition of permanent wet strength resins interferes with and detracts from the repulpability of paper.
- Wet strength paper generally cannot be defibered and repulped in neutral water without extraordinary means. Permanent resins are resistant to hydrolysis and retain their properties during repulping. The mechanism by which they provide wet strength is through bonding to or encapsulation of the cellulose fibers to provide a water-resistant, hydrolytically-stable, polymer-reinforced cellulose fiber network.
- Paperboard treated with aminoplast resin requires high temperatures and/or low pH during repulping to be recycled. On the other hand, high pH and elevated temperatures are required to repulp P.AE-treated papers.
- Polyamide and polyamine-epichlorohydrin. (P.AE) resins form ether linkages with the hydroxyl groups in the cellulose through an epoxide linkage. These bonds are difficult to break.
- Temporary wet strength resins are generally distinguished from permanent wet strength resins in that wet strength achieved using temporary wet strength resins is essentially lost after 10 to 30 minutes soaking in water at neutral pH and room temperature.
- Temporary wet strength resins are well known and have been used in the art to make disposable products, such as toweling and tissues.
- Temporary wet strength agents are generally hydrolytically unstable or shear sensitive. These properties enable the resin to break down readily when the product is commercially repulped. While temporary wet strength agents are more compatible with repulping than permanent wet strength agents, they do not develop satisfactory wet strength for most paperboard applications.
- a paperboard which provides adequate wet strength, e.g., it retains at least 50% of its dry tear strength when saturated with water, and yet it is readily repulpable.
- the paperboard is made by treating paper fibers with a cellulose reactive temporary wet strength agent in combination with either a permanent wet strength agent or an internal size.
- cellulose reactive as used herein means that the wet strength agent forms covalent bonds with the hydroxyl groups in the cellulose.
- a cationic promoter is added to the paper fiber before adding the wet strength agents to neutralize anionic agents present in or added to the pulp.
- Wet strength board must retain its physical properties when in contact with an aqueous medium.
- a resin that hydrolyses more quickly than the PAE resin commonly used in paperboard is incorporated into the board.
- Such resins are so-called temporary wet strength resins, such as a glyoxalated polyacrylamide like Parez 63INC. This resin will weaken quickly at the temperature in the pulper.
- the temporary wet strength agent is combined with a permanent wet strength agent such as PAE.
- PAE permanent wet strength agent
- the two resins which are both cellulose reactive, achieve part of their wet strength performance by bonding to the cellulose fibers.
- the two resins may also react with each other and form an interpolymer network that provides wet strength by encapsulating the cellulose fibers. This long-chain interpolymer network is shear sensitive so that under the high shear conditions in the repulper, the polymer chains are broken, the wet strength is lost and the board repulps easily.
- the temporary wet strength agent is combined with a reactive size such as an alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) .
- a reactive size such as an alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) .
- An AKD size has been found to enhance the wet strength of board containing a temporary agent like Parez and still produce a repulpable board. The mechanism for the ease of repulping this product is believed to arise from the shear sensitivity of AKD. Under high shear, such as that in a repulper, the polymer chain length is broken and the interpolymer network of the AKD and temporary wet strength agent holding the cellulose fibers together is believed to be broken down. Without this "glue" the board disintegrates under the action within the repulper.
- the present invention also provides a method wherein paperboard in accordance with the present invention is repulped and the fiber is recovered.
- paperboard is used herein as it is used in the Pulp and Paper Dictionary. 1986, to mean any thick, heavyweight, rigid, single or multi-ply paper used in wrappings, packaging, boxes, containers, advertising, merchandising displays, building construction, etc. and includes any cellulosic fiber-containing mat or web having a thickness of about 12 mil (0.012 inch) or greater which is prepared from any aqueous suspension of cellulose fiber and which may contain other fibrous matter such as organic, inorganic, or synthetic fibers. Examples include paperboard, linerboard medium and container board or boxboard, any of which may be coated or uncoated.
- the wet strength system of the invention is effective on cellulosic fibers from any fiber source including, but not limited to, any bleached or unbleached hardwood or softwood chemical, mechanical or chemimechanical pulp.
- the treatment has been found to be particularly useful with unbleached pulps and, still more particularly with sulfite, Kraft and semi-chemical pulps and other pulps used in the manufacture of paperboard.
- the wet strength system is also useful in making paperboard which contains recycled fiber from sources such as old corrugated container board or OCC.
- the cellulose reactive temporary wet strength agent used in the invention can be selected from among those temporary wet strength agents known in the art such as dialdehyde starch, polyethyleneimine, mannogalactan gum, chitosan, glyoxal, and dialdehyde mannogalactan.
- a particularly useful class of temporary wet strength agent is that of cationic agents such as glyoxylated vinylamide wet strength resins.
- Glyoxylated vinylamide wet strength resins useful herein are described in U.S. Patent 3,556,932 to Coscia. These resins are typically reaction products of glyoxal and preformed water soluble vinylamide polymers .
- Suitable polyvinylamides include those produced by copolymerizing a vinylamide and a cationic monomer such as 2-vinylpyridine, 2- vinyl-N-methylpyridinium chloride, diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride, etc.
- These vinylamide polymers may have a molecular weight up to 1,000,000, but polymers having molecular weights less than 25,000 are preferred.
- the vinylamide polymers are reacted with sufficient glyoxal to provide a water soluble thermoset resin.
- the molar ratio of glyoxal derived substituents to amide substitutes in the resin is at least 0.06:1 and most typically 0.1:1 to 0.2:1.
- a commercially available resin useful herein is Parez 63INC sold by Cytec Industries.
- the cellulose-reactive temporary wet strength agent is generally added to the paper in an amount up to about 20 pounds per ton or 1 wt%.
- the temporary wet strength agent is provided by the manufacturer as an aqueous solution and is added to the pulp in an amount of about 0.05 to 0.4 wt% and more typically in an amount of about 0.1 to 0.2 wt%. Unless otherwise indicated all weights and weight percentages are indicated herein on a dry basis.
- the pH of the pulp is adjusted prior to adding the resin. The manufacturer of the resin will usually recommend a pH range for use with the resin.
- the Parez 631NC resin can be used at a pH of about 4 to 8.
- the permanent wet strength agents used in practicing the invention can be selected from among. those aminoplast resins (e.g., urea-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde) resins and those polyamine-epichlorohydrin, polyamide epichlorohydrin or polyamide-amine epichlorohydrin resins (collectively "PAE resins") conventionally used in the papermaking art. Representative examples of these resins are described throughout the literature. See, for example, Wet Strength in Paper and Paperboard, TAPPI Monograph Series No. 29, Tappi Press (1952) John P. Weidner, Editor, Chapters 1, 2 and 3 and U.S.
- Patents 2,345,543 (1944) 2,926,116 (1965), and 2,926,154 (1960) Typical examples of some commercially available resins include the PAE resins sold by Hercules under the name Kymene, e.g., Kymene 557H and by Georgia Pacific under the name Amres, e.g., Amres 8855.
- the permanent wet strength agent is added to the paper fiber in an amount up to about 8 pounds per ton or 0.4 wt% and typically about 0.01 to 0.2 wt% and still more typically about 1 to 2 pounds per ton or .05 to 0.1 wt%.
- the exact amount will depend on the nature of the fibers and the amount of wet strength required in the product.
- these resins are generally recommended for use within a predetermined pH range which will vary depending upon the nature of the resin. For example, the Amres resins are typically used at a pH of about 4.5 to 9.
- repulpable papers having satisfactory wet strength can also be prepared using a reactive internal size instead of or in addition to the aforesaid permanent wet strength agent.
- reactive is meant that the size chemically bonds to the cellulose fiber.
- Examples of reactive internal sizes useful in the invention are alkyl ketene dimers (AKD) as described in U.S. Patents 4,627,477; 2,785,067; 2,762,270, 3,483,077 and alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) as described in U.S. Patent 3,821,069. These sizes are commercially available and their usage is well established in the papermaking art.
- a representative example of a commercially available AKD size is Hercon 70 from Hercules Chemical Co.
- ASA size is Accosize AT manufactured by Cytec Industries.
- Other materials which may have application as internal sizes are fatty acid chlorides, fatty acid enol esters, fatty acid alkyl isocyanates and rosin acid anhydride.
- the reactive internal size is used in an amount of about 0.01 to 0.3% and typically in an amount of about 0.05 to 0.1%.
- cationic resins known in the industry as cationic promoters. These cationic promoters enable more of the wet strength resins to bond to the cellulose because less anionic material is present to consume the resin. These resins are generally selected for their low cost.
- cationic resins useful for this application are polyethyleneimine with a cationic charge of about 0.75 to 3.5 milliequivalents/gram, quaternized polyamines, such as polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride, or cationic starch. Particularly useful cationic resins are polyquaternary amines and are available from Cytec Industries under the trade names CYPRO 514, 515, 516.
- Cationic promoters are added to the stock well in advance of the wet strength resins to ensure adequate mixing and adequate contact with the fibers.
- the cationic resins are generally used in an amount of about 1 to 10 pounds
- the cationic promoter can be used at 0 to 0.5 wt%, typically the resins are used in an amount of about 0.02 to 0.3 wt% and preferably 0.1 to 0.2 wt%.
- the manufacturer of the promoter will typically recommend a pH for its use.
- the Cypro resins are effective over a pH of about 4 to 9.
- Wet strength papers prepared in accordance with the invention may also incorporate other additives conventionally used in the paper industry such as sizes and fillers.
- sizes such as rosin and alum into the stock.
- Rosin is generally added to the stock as a neutral or acid size in an amount of about 4 to 8 lb/ton of fiber.
- Alum is used in an amount of about 20 to 40 lb/ton of fiber.
- a paper stock typically having a consistency of about 0.3 to 1.0% is prepared.
- the point of addition of the wet strength system can vary depending on the design of the paper machine and the nature of the paper product as long as the wet strength chemicals have an adequate opportunity to react with the fiber before the sheet is formed.
- the wet strength agents can be added at any point before the head box, such as in the stock chest, refiners, or fan pump.
- the alum and rosin are added to the stock and mixed followed by the addition of the cationic promoter. After the cationic promoter has had an adequate opportunity to react with the fiber (e.g., about 20 sec. to 5 minutes at 3-8 pH) , a solution of the temporary wet strength agent is added with the permanent wet strength agent and/or the reactive size.
- the amount and ratio of the wet strength agents and size are adjusted to provide a wet strength comparable to that achieved with PAE resins yet provide a repulpable product.
- the amounts can be varied to provide the necessary balance between wet strength and repulpability.
- the ratio of permanent to temporary wet strength agent often ranges from 1:6 to 2:1 and preferably 1:2 to 1:6.
- a wet to dry tear ratio of at least 70% is desired.
- a product should yield more than 30% and preferably at least 60% and most preferably at least 75% usable fiber after repulping 15 to 60 minutes at 100°F, 4% consistency at a pH 9 or less.
- the amount of reusable fiber is the amount of fiber collected through a "six cut" vibrating screen with 0.006 inch slots. The fiber is dried and weighed after equilibrating at 50% RH at 23°C.
- the repulpable board of the present invention is preferably repulped under the following conditions:
- Old corrugated container (OCC) and non-wet strength board are commercially repulped by mixing it with water in a mixing device called a repulper.
- This device consists of a large tub, often 12-20 feet in diameter and 8-10 feet in height.
- An agitator is positioned at either the side or the bottom of the tub.
- a typical repulper processing paperboard will operate at a consistency of about 3 to 5%.
- the pH of the pulp is typically maintained at 6 to 7.5, although in certain operations it may be adjusted outside this range.
- the temperature in the repulper is typically maintained at 110- 130°F. In some mills, higher temperatures may be used to break down materials that are difficult to repulp.
- Conditions required to repulp conventional wet strength board are a temperature above 180°F, a pH of 7-7.5, and a residence time in the repulper of one hour. This will generally provide a fiber yield of approximately 80%. Fiber yield is the amount of fiber recovered from the repulper that is sufficiently defibered to use in the papermaking process. It has been discovered that board made using the wet strength resin system of this invention requires milder conditions to achieve the same fiber yield as obtained with standard wet- strength board.
- board is not separated from other unbleached fiber products such as OCC.
- the material coming into a mill using recycled fiber will be a mix of corrugated boxes and board, including wet strength board. It is estimated that no more than 25% of the waste is wet strength board.
- Several repulping trials were made at mills using a mixture of 25% wet strength board and 75% corrugated containers. In all of these trials, the presence of wet strength board made with the resin system of this invention was not apparent .
- the wet strength board repulped as well as corrugated containers under these conditions.
- the wet strength board generally does not defiber and remains in such large pieces that it tends to plug the discharge screens from the repulper.
- a 70 lb/1000 ft 2 board sheet was made from virgin, unbleached, kraft pine pulp with a Canadian standard freeness of 650 ml.
- the sheet was made on an M-K sheet former manufactured by M-K Systems. This device makes a sheet that is 12-in. x 12-in.
- pulp containing 31.8 grams of fiber on a dry basis was diluted to 0.6 wt.% with distilled water, poured into the sheet former, and the temperature adjusted to 70° to 80°F. Then 48 gms. of a 1% solution of papermakers alum was mixed with the pulp. Next 0.128 gms. of a liquid rosin size (50% solids) , Plasmene N-750-P made by Georgia- Pacific, was stirred into the pulp. The pH of the pulp slurry was then adjusted to 4.8 with 5% sulfuric acid. Then 0.05% (0.032 gms.
- the sheet was then deposited on the wire of the former. After couching the sheet from the wire, it was pressed between blotter paper at 90 psi. The sheet was dried, under constraint, for 15 min. at 105°C and then placed in a room at 50% relative humidity and 23°C for 24 hrs. before testing.
- the dry tensile index of the board was determined by TAPPI method T 456-om-88.
- the wet tensile index was determined by the same method after the board has been soaked in distilled water for one hour at 23°C. The ratio of these two values was 0.77.
- the repulpability of the board was determined by adding 110 grams of it to 2895 grams of deionized water at 120°F with a pH of 6-7 and repulping in a Maelstrom laboratory pulper manufactured by Adirondac Machine Co. The board was allowed to soak for 15 min. before turning on the pulper motor. After 15 minutes of agitation, a sample of pulp containing 11 grams of dry fiber was taken from the pulper and screened through a vibrating plate, Somerville screen with 0.006 in. slots manufactured by Messmer-Buchel . The fiber retained on the screen and that passing through the screen were collected separately and dried and weighed after equillibrating at 50% relative humidity and 23°C. The percent of the fiber fed to the screen that passed through it was the repulping yield. For this board the yield was 82%.
