Definitions
- the present invention refers to an impulse dried paper having a three-dimensional pattern of alternating raised and recessed portions which is conveyed to the paper in connection with the impulse drying.
- Moist paper webs are usually dried against one or more heated rolls.
- a method which is commonly used for tissue paper is so called Yankee drying.
- Yankee drying the moist paper web is pressed against a steam-heated Yankee cylinder, which can have a very large diameter. Further heat for drying is supplied by blowing of heated air. If the paper to be produced is soft paper the paper web is usually creped against the Yankee cylinder.
- the drying against the Yankee cylinder is preceded by a vacuum dewatering and a wet pressing, in which the water is mechanically pressed out of the paper web.
- TAD through-air-drying
- the patterned structure of the drying fabric is transferred to the paper web.
- This structure is essentially maintained also in wet condition of the paper, since it has been imparted to the wet paper web.
- a description of the TAD technique can be found in e g US-A-3,301,746.
- Impulse drying of a paper web is disclosed in e g SE-B-423 118 and shortly involves that the moist paper web is passed through the press nip between a press roll and a heated roll, which is heated to such a high temperature that a quick and strong steam generation occurs in the interface between the moist paper web and the heated roll.
- the heating of the roll is e g accomplished by gas burners or other heating devices, e g by means of electromagnetic induction.
- EP-A- 0 490 655 there is disclosed the production of a paper web, especially soft paper, where the paper simultaneously with impulse drying is given an embossed surface.
- This embossment is made by pressing a pattern into the paper from one or both sides against a hard holder-on. This gives a compression of the paper and by this a higher density in certain portions just opposite the impressions and a lower density in the intermediate portions.
- the object and most important features of the invention is to provide a method of producing an impulse dried paper having a three-dimensional pattern, e g a soft paper intended as toilet paper, kitchen rolls, paper handkerchiefs, table napkins and the like, and where the paper should have a high bulk and a high absorption capacity and the three-dimenisional structure should be maintained in dry as well as in wet condition.
- Fig. 1-3 are a schematic side views of impulse drying devices according to some different embodiments.
- Fig. 4 a-c show in the form of bar charts dry and wet bulk of impulse dried paper produced from different types of pulp with or without wet strength agent.
- Fig. 5 shows in the form of bar charts the effect of wet strength agent on the relative absorption of paper that has been dried in a conventional way without simultaneous pressing, impulse dried and impulse dried under simultaneous embossing.
- Fig. 6 shows in the form of bar charts the effect of temperature on bulk and absorption of impulse dried paper made from different types of pulp.
- Fig. 7 shows in the form of bar charts the effect of temperature on the strength properties of impulse dried paper made of different pulp types.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a device for performing impulse drying of a paper web.
- the wet paper web 10 which is dewatered over suction boxes (not shown) is supported by a compressible press felt 11 and is brought into a press nip 12 between two rotatable rolls 13 and 14, at which the roll 13 which is in contact with the paper web is heated to a temperature which is sufficiently high for providing drying of the paper web.
- the surface temperature of the heated roll can vary depending on such factors as the moisture content of the paper web, thickness of the paper web, the contact time between the paper web and the roll and the desired moisture content of the completed paper web.
- the surface temperature should of course not be so high the paper web is damaged.
- An appropriate temperature should be in the interval 100-400°C, preferably 150-350°C and most preferably 200-350 °C.
- the paper web is pressed against the heated roll 13 by means of the roll 14.
- the press device may of course be designed in many other ways. Two and more press devices may also be arranged after each other.
- the holder-on 14 may also be a press shoe. It is also possible that the paper web 11 is passed into the press nip unsupported, i e not supported by any wire or felt.
- the paper is after drying wound on a wmd-up roll 16. If desired the paper can be creped before winding. It is however noted that the need for creping the paper in order to impart softness and bulk which is aimed at for soft paper, is reduced when using the impulse drying method according to the invention, since the paper by the strong steam expansion in the paper web is imparted bulk and softness and besides a three- dimensional structure.
- the paper web can before it is brought into the impulse dryer either can be only dewatered over suction boxes or besides slightly pressed according to a conventional process.
- the paper is given a three-dimensional structure.
- This can be made as shown in Fig. 1 and 2 by the fact that the heated roll 13 is provided with an embossing pattern consisting of alternating raised and recessed areas.
- This structure is substantially maintained also in a later wetted condition of the paper, since it has been imparted the wet paper web in connection with drying thereof.
- embossing is normally used for a shaping performed on dried paper we have in the following used press moulding for the three-dimensional shaping of the paper that occurs simultaneously with the impulse drying.
- press moulding By this press moulding the bulk and absorption capacity of the paper is increased, which are important characteristics for soft paper.
- the paper can be pressed against a non-rigid surface, i e a compressible press felt 11.
- the roll 14 can also have an elastically yielding surface, e g an envelope surface of rubber.
- the paper is herewith given a three-dimensional structure the total thickness of which is greater than the thickness of the unpressed paper. By this the paper is imparted a high bulk and by that a high absorption capacity and a high softness. Besides the paper will be elastic. At the same time a locally varying density is obtained in the paper.
- the paper can also be pressed against a hard surface, e g a wire 11 and/or a roll 14 having a hard surface, at which the pattern of the heated roll 13 is pressed into the paper web under a heavy compression of the paper opposite the impressions, while the portions therebetween are kept uncompressed.
- a hard surface e g a wire 11 and/or a roll 14 having a hard surface
- Fig. 2 differs from what is shown in Fig. 1 by the fact that under the wire 11 there is arranged a felt 17, which extends around the roll 14.
- the function of the felt 17 is to improve the dewatering effect and extend the press nip.
- the paper web 10 is during the drying supported by a wire 11 having a pattern, which is press moulded into the paper web when this passes through the press nip 12 between the rolls 13 and 14.
- the roll 13 can either be smooth, as is shown in Fig. 3, or have an embossing pattern.
- the press moulded paper will have one smooth surface and one surface with impressions.
- the roll 13 has an embossing pattern this will also be pressed into the paper, which thus on one side will have a pattern corresponding to the structure of the wire 11 and on the opposite side having a pattern corresponding to the embossing pattern of the roll.
- the pattern may but need not coincide and/or be the same or different.
- Paper can be produced by a number of different pulp types. If one disregards recovery pulp, which today is used to a great extent mainly for toilet paper and kitchen rolls, the most commonly used pulp type for soft paper is chemical pulp. This is produced by impregnating wood chips with chemicals and then boil it so that the lignin and the hemicellulose is transferred to the liquid. After finished boiling the pulp is screened and washed before it is bleached. The lignin content in such pulp is practically zero and the fibers, which mainly consist of pure cellulose, are relatively thin and flexible. Chemical pulp can be both of long- and short fiber type depending on the wooden raw material used, and can be of sulphate- or sulphite type depending on the composition of the boiling liquid. Chemical long fiber pulp (softwood), especially of sulphate type, has a favourable effect on the strength properties of the soft paper, both dry- and wet strength.
- Chemical pulp is a low yield pulp since it gives a yield of only about 50%> calculated on the wooden raw material used. It is therefore a relatively expensive pulp. It is therefore common to use cheaper so called high yield pulps, e g mechanical or thermomechanical pulp, in soft paper as well as in other types of paper, e g newsprint paper, cardboard etc.
- Mechanical pulp is produced by grinding or refining and the principle for mechanical pulp production is that the wood is mechanically disintegrated. The entire wood material is utilized and the lignin is thus left in the fibers, which are relatively short and stiff.
- the production of thermomechanical pulp (TMP) is accomplished by refining in a disc refiner at an increased steam pressure. Also in this case the lignin is left in the fibers.
- CMP Chemomechanical pulp
- CTMP chemothermomechanical pulp
- a chemomechanical or chemothermomechanical pulp contain more complete fibers and less shives (fiber aggregates and fiber fragments) than a mechanical or thermomechanical pulp.
- the properties of CMP and CTMP approaches those for the chemical pulps, but there are essential differences depending among other things on that in CMP and CTMP the fibers are coarser and can contain a high amount of lignin, resins and hemicellulose.
- the lignin and the resins gives the fibers more hydrophobic properties and a reduced ability ro form hydrogen bonds.
- the addition of a certain amount of chemothermomechanical pulp in soft paper has due to the reduced fiber- fiber bonding a positive effect on properties like bulk and absorption capacity.
- HT-CTMP high temperature chemothermomechanical pulp
- Characterizing for HT-CTMP is that it is a long fibrous-, easily dewatered- and bulky high yield pulp with a low shives content and low fines content.
- high yield pulp is especially suitable for impulse drying since it is pressure insensitive, easily dewatered and has an open structure which admits the generated steam to pass through. This minimizes the risk for the paper to be overheated and destroyed during the impulse drying, which is performed at considerably higher temperatures than in other drying methods.
- the pressure insensitivity and the open structure depends on that the fibers in high yield pulp are relatively coarse and stiff as compared to the fibers in chemical pulp.
- a further advantage is that the three-dimensional structure that has been given the paper is substantially maintained also in wet condition of the paper, since it has been conveyed to the wet paper web simultaneously with the drying thereof.
- Impulse drying is further performed at a considerably higher temperature than e g Yankee-drying or through-air-drying, and according to a theory, to which however the invention is not bound, the softening temperature of the lignin in the high yield pulp is reached during the simultaneous impulse drying and press moulding.
- the paper then cools down the lignin becomes stiff again and contributes to permanent the three-dimensional structure that has been conveyed to the paper. This structure is therefore substantially maintained also in the wet condition of the paper, which strongly improves the bulk and absorption characteristics of the paper.
- the amount of high yield pulp should be at least 10 % by weight calculated on the dry fiber weight, preferably at least 30 % by weight and most preferably at least 50 %> by weight.
- the paper contains at least 0,05% by weight, prefereably 0,25%) by weight, calculated on the dry fiber weight, of one or more additives which in connection with impulse drying has undergone a chemical reaction so that it/they has contributed in stabilizing the pattern structure which has been conveyed to the paper at the impulse drying.
- the additives may be of defferent types and undergo different types of hardening reactions in the temperature interval 100-400 °C, which is the temperature the paper web is exerted to at the impulse drying.
- Examples of such additives are reactive polymers, such as wet strength agents, fixing agents, polysaccharides, polyvinyl alcohol or a polyacid such as polyacrylic acid and copolymers thereof.
- the additives can either be bonded to the fiber surface or be added as a separate additive either to the fiber furnish or to the moist paper web before the impulse drying.
- the chemical reaction can either involve a chemical modification of the additive per se such as a crosslinking reaction, a reaction between two or more additives or a reaction between the additive and cellulose or any other component of the pulp fibers, e g lignin.
- Possible reactions between lignin and additive can comprise ester formation, ether formation, acetal formation and complex formation.
- wet strength agents are water soluble chemicals which either can crosslink internally or with cellulose or any other component of the pulp fibers. They usually comprise cationic oligomeric or polymeric resins. Examples thereof are different types of polyamide-epichlorhydrine resins with reactive functional groups such as amino-, epoxy- or azetidine groups. Wet strength agents of this kind are disclosed in e g the US patents 3,700,623 and 3,772,076. Polyamide-amine-epichlorhydrine resins sold under the trade mark KYMENE® by Hercules Inc. are specially usesful in the present invention.
- water soluble cationic resins are polyacrylic amide resins and acrylic emulsions.
- wet strength agents are urea formaldehyde- and melamine formaldehyde resins and polyethylene imine resins. A description of these kinds of water soluble resins is found in TAPPI Monograph Series, No. 29, Wet Strength In Paper and Paperboard. Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (New York 1965).
- crosslinking agents are formaldehyde compounds and N-methylol compounds used in textile industry, and compounds based on polycarboxy acids, such as citric acid and maleinic acid and polymeric carboxy acids.
- wet strenght agents impart a permanent wet strength to the paper. This can in some cases not be desired, especially in those cases where it should be possible to throw the paper in the sewage system where it should be disintegrated in a short time.
- temporary wet strength agents which gives the paper a wet strength that is sufficient for the intended use, but which are decomposed in within a few minutes or less when the paper is placed in water. Examples of such temporary wet strength agents can be found in the US patents 3,556,932 and 3,556,933.
- Other examples of temporary wet strength agents are modified starch which e g are disclosed in the US patents 4,675,394; 4,981,557; 5,008,344 and 5,085,736 and modified cellulose derivatives. The wet strength agent is added to the fiber furnish or the paper web before impulse drying.
- additives are hydrophobizing agents, e g resins, fatty acids, alkyl ketenedimers or alkylsuccinic acid preparations.
- Further examples are inorganic pigments or complex formers which can react with specific groups in lignin and cellulose and form three-dimensional networks, e g oxides or chlorides of zinc or magnesium, phosphates, borates and zirconium.
- the additives may be of a kind that can undergo a chemical reaction of the type acetylation, silylation and/or crosslinking with bi- or multifunctional groups, such as diisocyanates and triazine derivatives.
- Example Trials have been made in an experimental equipment in which a paper web having a dry content of about 35 % by weight without previous pressing was exerted to impulse drying at temperatures varying between about 200-300 °C and a pressure of about 4 MPA.
- the pulp types that were tested were 100% chemical sulphate pulp, 100%> HT- CTMP and 50/50 chemical sulphate pulp/HT-CTMP with or without addition of a wet strength agent in the form of KYMENE ® , apolyamide-amine-epichlorhydrine resin
- Fig. 5 a-c the results of measurements performed with respect to dry and wet bulk of impulse dried paper containing the above pulps with and without respectively addition of wet strength resin, are shown.
- the added amounts were 5 mg/g (0,5%> by weight) calculated on the dry fiber weight, 10 mg/g (1% by weight) and 15 mg/g (1,5% by weight).
- the measurements have been made on unembossed as well as on embossed (press moulded) paper. From the results shown in Fig. 4a-c it can be seen that impulse dried paper that is press moulded (embossed) and contains wet strength agent has a higher wet bulk and by that abso ⁇ tion as compred to corresponding papers without wet strength agent.
- wet bulk increases somewhat at the higher concentrations of wet strength agent. This applies especially for the paper containing HT-CTMP.
- Fig. 5 there is shown in the form of bar charts the effect of wet strength agents on the relative abso ⁇ tion for paper which had been dried in a conventional way without simultaneous pressing, impulse dried and impulse dried under simultaneous press moulding (embossing).
- the wet strength agent was also in this case KYMENE ® , a polyamide-amine-epichlorhydrine resin (PAE).
- PAE polyamide-amine-epichlorhydrine resin
- the added amount was 1% by weight calculated on the dry fiber weight.
- the same types of pulp were tested as above, i e 100% chemical sulphate pulp, 100% HT-CTMP and 50/50 chemical sulphate pulp/ HT-CTMP.
- the lignin containing high yield pulp can as previously mentioned be of many different kinds such as mechanical pulp, thermomechanical, chemomechanical and chemothermomechanical pulp and comprise virgin fibers as well as recovery fibers.
- the admixture of a certain amount of other pulp with good strength properties, such as chemical pulp, preferably long-fibrous sulphate pulp is an advantage if high strength of the finished paper is aimed at. Also other pulps including recovery pulp can be contained in the paper.
- the paper web can after the impulse drying be exerted to different types of treatments which per se are known such as addition of different chemicals, further embossing, lamination etc.
- a treatment may be that the paper web after it has been given the three-dimensional pattern is compressed in a subsequent roll nip which has a temperature which is lower than that of the heated roll, by means of which the paper has been given the three-dimensional pattern. Possibly a further pattern may be pressed into the paper web during this compression.
- the compression involves a decreased bulk of the paper, which saves space during transport and storing.
- the deformation of the paper web that takes place during this compression is maintained by means of fiber-to-fiber bonds that are not constant in wet condition.
- the paper will in contact with water or aqueous liquids recover its three-dimensional stmcture that was given to it at the impulse drying, at which by the expansion of the paper an increased water abso ⁇ tion capacity is obtained.
