4 Claims. (Cl. 162-169) This invention relates to improved method of manufacturing papers and in particular to novel papers having improved wet strength, delamination resistance and tear strength.
Very often in the employment of paper it is necessary that the paper having high tear strength such as for backings of normally tacky and pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, artificial leather, gasket material, etc. Papers used as backings for normally tacky and pressure-sensitive tapes, in addition to high tear strength, must also have high delamination resistance, so that the roll of tape may be unrolled without splitting or delaminating the paper web by means of forces set up by adhesion of the adjacent plies of the tape in roll form.
Prior to the present invention various techniques have been used for improving the characteristics of paper such as wet strength, tear strength and delamination resistance. One of the most common methods for improving the delarnination resistance of paper, such as that used as backings for normally tacky and pressuresensitive tapes, comprises the incorporation into raw paper extensible materials of a more or less rubbery nature termed impregnants. Such impregnants allow the sheet to retain a major portion of the characteristic flexibility and yet bind the fibers when a roll of pressuresensitive tape is unwound. -In employing the aforementioned impregnating method, however, it is not always possible to obtain uniform dispersion of the impregnant throughout the paper.
Objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part hereinafter and in part will be obvious herefrorn, or may be learned by practice with the invention, the same being realized and attained by means of the processes, steps, combinations, improvements and compositions pointed out in the appended claims.
" Theinvention consists in the novel processes, steps, combinations and improvements, and compositions herein shown and described.
-It is an object of this invention to provide improved method of manufacturing papers having the characteristics of high delamination resistance, high tear strength and high wet tensile strength with adequate flexibility and elongation. Another object of this invention is to provide a novel method of manufacturing paper backed'adhesive tape, and particularly pressure-sensitive tape, having improved unified paper backings, and which have a high resistance to delamination, high tear strength, high Wet tensile strength and adequate elongation and flexibility.
A still further object of this invention is to provide novel methods for the production of improved papers having the characteristics set forth in accordance with the foregoing bi s The drawing is a diagrammatic representation of the product of this invention.
It has been found that the foregoing objects may be realized by producing paper by the beater impregnation method containing elastomeric impregnant utilizing water soluble solutions of reactive titania in the paper pulp. By reactive titania is meant monomeric orthotitanic acid of the structure TiEOI-I], or a low polymer [Ti(OH) In accordance with the present invention, it has been found that the incorporation of a water-soluble solution of reactive titania to a dilute paper stock (slurry of pulp) containing an impregnant latex followed by subsequent precipitation of the impregnant onto the paper fibers and drying of said pulp to form a paper sheet, results in the formation of a paper sheet having improved wet tensile strength, delamination resistance and tear strength and adequate elongation and flexibility.
More particularly, it has been found that the presence of reactive titania in a paper stock containing a water base impregnant effects uniform distribution of the impregnant throughout the formed paper resulting in a paper having the characteristics of high delamination resistance, high tear strength, high wet tensile strength and adequate flexibility and elongation.
The water soluble reactive titania solutions useful in accordance with this invention can be prepared from a water soluble orthotitanic ester in the presence of a suitable screener to delay hydrolysis of the orthotitanate, thus producing a highly reactive form of monomeric or low polymer orthotitanic acid. These stabilized solutions are disclosed in copending application Serial No. 576,498, filed April 5, 1956, by Paul Lagally. The orthotitanates disclosed in the copending application Serial No. 576,498 are those which are relatively stable in aqueous medium and which require a hydrolyzing agent, such as an acid or an alkali, for hydrolysis thereof. Examples of the preferred orthotitanates of this type are those of the chelated kind.
The water soluble reactive titania solutions useful in accordance with this invention can be prepared from a water-soluble orthotitanic ester in the presence of a suitable screener as illustrated by esters containing:
(1) Two, three or four ligands containing basic nitrogen. Chelated esters of this type are, for example, isoproply-t1i-triethanolarnine orthotitanate, di-isopropyl-ditriethanolamine orthotitanate, di-isopropyl-di-diethanolamine orthotitanate, tetra cyanoethyldiethanolamine orthotitanate.
(2) Less than two ligands containing basic nitrogen and in addition other ligands containing electron-donating groups. Water-soluble esters of this type are, for example, tri-cyanoethyl-mono-triethanolamine orthotitanate, tri ethyleneglycol mono tn'ethyleneglycol monotriethanolamine orthotitanate.
As indicated heretofore, orthotitanates which are relatively stable in aqueous medium and of the type indicated by the preferred esters require the addition of a suitable hydrolyzing agent for the hydrolysis thereof to occur. Moreover, the hydrolyzing agent must be of such nature that it will not form a stable titanium complex with the hydrolyzed product.
Examples of acids which are not useful as hydrolyzing agents because they form stable titanium complexes are-- (1) hydroxy acids containing a hydroxy group in the alpha or beta position such as lactic acid or tartaric acid; (2) lower aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as oxalic acid and malonic acid and (3) hydro-fiuoric acid.
which may be used as a basis.

Examples of suitable bases for this purpose are sodiumhydroxide, potassium hydroxide and nitrogen containing bases such as ammonium hydroxide, ethyl amine, diethyl amine, pyridine, piperidine and cyclohexylarnine.
As indicated heretofore, a stabilizer is employed for controlling the hydrolysis of the orthotitanate and for preventing the precipitation of the hydrolyzed product from the aqueous solution. The stabilizer contains electron donating groups for temporarily screening the orthotitanic acid or ester to prevent polymerization thereof and subsequent precipitation from solution. Hence, any compound exhibiting the required electron donating qualit ies for eifectuating the desired screening effect may be used as the stabilizer.
" Typical compounds which may be used as stabilizers include hydroxyaldehydes and hydroxy-ketones. and corresponding semiacetals of the aldehydes and ketones. Examples of such compounds are the monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, mannose, xylose, threose, erythrose, rhamnose; the polysaccharides such as lactose and cellobiose, sugars with straight chains or as substances having oxide rings such as methyl glucoside may also be used. Also, suitable as stabilizers for this purpose are Water soluble alcohols as represented by those having straight chain or cyclic structure such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, sorbitol,
mannitol and inositol. Also, operable are Water soluble amides such as urea, dimethylforamide; hydroxy-alkyl derivatives of amines containing tertiary nitrogen such as triethanolamine and hydroxyalkyl-alky1enepolyamines such as tetrahydroxyethyl ethylene diamine.
In addition to the aforementioned stabilized Watersoluble reactive titania solutions, water-soluble reactive titania solutions can also be used which are prepared from certain water-soluble orthotitanate esters by neutralization of an aqueous solution of the ester to give a product which is not stable for long periods of time but for short intervals, long enough to be used on a practical Examples of orthotitanates which may be used for this purpose are:
Tetra-triethanolamine orthotitanate Tetra-diethanolamine orthotitanate Isopropyl-tri-triethanolamine orthotitanate Diisopropyl di-triethanolamine orthotitanate Dicyanoethyl-di-triethanolamine orthotitanate Tri-triethanolsulfide Triethanolarnine orthotitanate Tetra-aminoethanolamine orthotitanate Tetra-diethylethanolamine orthotitanate In general, the procedure used in accordance with this invention involves addition of reactive titania solution to a slurry of pulp (dilute stock containing cellulose fibers) and water base impregnant in water, followed by precipitation of the impregnant onto the fibers and subsequent formation of the paper sheet; or addition of a watersoluble orthotitanate ester to the stock followed by hydrolysis of the ester by a suitable hydrolyzing agent to reactive titania, followed by precipitation of the impreg nant onto the fibers and subsequent formation of the paper sheet. The addition of the reactive titania alone imparts Wet strength to the sheet but the effect may be further increased by heating after formation and drying.
The amount of titania used will vary depending upon the structure of the orthotitanate used for making the reactive titania. In general, the range of concentration of Ti(OH) will vary between 1 to 45%, and preferably 1 to 20%, based on the Weight of the dry pulp.
Sheets produced in accordance with this invention by beater impregnation from a pulp containing elastomeric materials have been found to exhibit improved delamination resistance, high tear strength, high wet tensile strength and adequate flexibility and elongation. Any conven tional elastomeric impregnant commonly used for unifying paper sheets may be used as exemplifiedby. the followmg:
(l) Copolymers of a diene and acrylonitrile containing at least 60% by weight of the diene, such as a copolymer of 60% butadiene and 40% acrylonitrile.
(2) Copolyrners of a diene and styrene and styrene homologues containing at least 40% of the diene, such as a copolymer of 50% butadiene and 50% styrene; and
(3) Copolyrners of a diene and an acrylic acid, containing at least 50% of the diene, such as a copolymer of 60% butadiene and 40% of acrylic acid. In general, the impregnant is in an amount from 2 to by weight based on the amount of dry pulp.
As will be understood by those skilled in the field, in impregnating the cellulosic fibers with an elastomeric impregnant by the heater impregnation method, there is involved the coagulation of precipitation of the elastomeric impregnant on the paper fibers. Although the impregnants in accordance with the present invention may be coagulated by the commonly used techniques utilizing the addition of aluminum sulfate, an acid, or an acid colloidal polymer, such methods are not preferred. In all of these cases coagulation required the use of acidic media at some step. The amount of elastomeric polymer that can be incorporated by these methods is limited.
The preferred precipitating agents for precipitating the elastomeric impregnants are those poly-N-basic compounds disclosed in U.S. Patent 2,745,744, patented May 15, 1956. These fiocculating agents are produced by reacting formaldehyde with guanidine carbonate at a molar ratio at least one to one, although at least two to one is preferred. The chemical structure of the desired product is not fully understood, but the action of the material in fiocculating particles of polymer onto pulp fiber is believed to be due to the presence of a multiplicity of positively charged amino groups linked together into a polymeric electrolyte so that each polymer molecule has many positive charges distributed along its length. Also eifective is the polymeric electrolyte made by the treatment of polyvinyl pyridine with any lower alkyl halide having an alkyl group of from one to eight carbon atoms, e.g. (Fuoss.Jour. Poly. Sci. 3, 246-63 (1948)).
In order to illustrate the invention more specifically the following examples are given hereinbelow. Unless otherwise indicated, the percentages or parts given are by weight.
The following Examples I-IV disclose the preparation of stabilized water soluble orthotitanate solutions which may' be used as the source of reactive titania in accord auce the present invention.
EXAMPLE I 284.0 grams of tetra isopropyl orthotitanate (1 mole) are mixed with 298.4 grams of triethanolamine (2 moles). 120 grams of this mixture (containing .206 mole di-isopropyl-di-triethanolamine titanate) are dissolved in 300 ml. water, and 100 m1. of a 50% solution of methyl glucoside are added. In order to neutralize this mixture,
20 ml. conc. HCl are added. Diluting with Water to 600 ml. does not produce hydrolysis t-ate insoluble titania.
EXAMPLE II 120 grams of a mixture of 1 mole tetra isopropyl orthotitanate and two moles triethanolamine (containing .206 moles di-isopropyl-di-triethanolamine titanate) are dissolved in 200 ml. water 200 ml. of a 50% solution of urea are added. The resulting mixture is neutralized with 25 ml. cone. HCl and diluted with water to 600 ml.
EXAMPLE HI EXAMPLE IV To 2.82 grams (0.0176 mole) triethanolamine are added 5.0 grams (0.0176 mole) tetra-isopropyl orthotitanate. The mixture containing mono-triethanolamine tri-isopropyl orthotitanate (0.0176 mole) is cooled and 20 mls. of a 50% aqueous solution of methylglucoside are added. The resulting solution is titrated with 5.395 N HCl (HCl:water=1:l). 1.7 ml. are needed to reach pH 7.
suflicient to precipi- In the absence of methylglucoside of another proper stabilizer, it is impossible to dissovle mono-triethanolamine orthotitanate in water or to neutralize the obtained mixture.
The following Example V serves to describe the preparation of a preferred precipitating agent for precipitating the elastomeric polymer in accordance with the present invention.
EXAMPLE V One hundred and twenty-one grams of commercial guanidine carbonate, one hundred grams of commercial thirty-seven percent formaldehyde are mixed and heated with occasional stirring, on an electric hot plate.
The initial hydrogen ion concentration of the mixture was equivalent to a pH of about 8.5. At the end of four hours of heating, the reaction vessel contained a viscous (when hot) transparent mass and the pH had fallen to about 7.5. Water was added and stirred to dissolve the reaction product. All during the heating, there was evolution of carbon dioxide from the reaction, and it was to facilitate the escape of this material that water was added. After additional heating for one and one-half hours at the boiling point of the solution, the pH was about 7.2 as measured with pH paper, and heating was discontinued.
The product obtained was an almost colorless solution containing thirty-seven percent solids. The viscosity of this thirty-seven percent solution was not substantially greater than water. The dry reaction product was a transparent, very slightly colored solid, softening below eighty degrees centigrade.
The following Examples VI to XXI serve to describe the preparation by beater impregnation of unified paper '6 sheets containing elastomeric impregnants in accordance with this invention. EXAMPLE VI To a semi-bleached kraft pulp of 600 cc. Schopper- Riegler freeness basis weight including elastomer (24" x 36" x 480: lbs.) was added 23% butadiene-acrylonitrile (65:35) latex based on the Weight of finished sheet (70#480). To this was added an amount of stabilized tetra triethanolamine titanate of Example III to give 9.3% Ti(OH;) based on dry weight of pulp. After mixing, the latex was precipitated with the guanidineiormaldehyde precipitating agent of Example V. The sheet was then formed in a standard sheet mold.
