A kind of Cypres and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of sizing agent and preparation method thereof that shows, be used for the top sizing of paper process paper, to improve the performance that shows of paper, the quality of very high paper belongs to the papermaking chemical product field.
Technical background
Applying glue is one important procedure of papermaking, and purpose is to make paper or cardboard have the performance of resistance liquid (the particularly water and the aqueous solution) diffusion and infiltration.Applying glue can be divided into plasm-glue-blending and top sizing, because the internal sizing agent is subjected to the influence of working condition factors such as (as water quality, pH value, temperature and pumping time) shearings easily; While has proposed requirements at the higher level along with the application of improvement, high speed printing and the high viscosity inks of printing technology to surface strength of paper and profile pattern, and it is unapproachable depending merely on plasm-glue-blending, must carry out top sizing to reach instructions for use to paper.So,,, all to use surface enhancing sizing agent still with the new paper of introducing the production of large-scale paper machine based on wood pulp no matter be paper based on straw pulp with old device fabrication.Top sizing also is a kind of paper surface finishing technology, and except the WATER RESISTANCE that increases paper, deflection, surface strength and the smoothness that can also increase paper are to improve the printing printability.
The surface that present domestic paper industry adopted strengthens sizing agent and is mostly modified starch such as oxidized starch, phosphate ester starch etc., and use PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) are also arranged.Converted starch is because its cementitiousness is relatively poor, when printing easy hair and powder dropping, cause the scumming phenomenon, do not reach the requirement of high-quality culture printing and newsprint, and the WATER RESISTANCE extreme difference, only on some low-grade paper, use.Though and PVA has film forming and stronger cohesive force preferably, relatively poor because of its WATER RESISTANCE, after the applying glue of cooperation converted starch the degree of sizing that becomes paper is not improved, and become the glossiness behind the paper lower.Because of its price is very high, use amount at home is less at present in addition.CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) though film forming is preferably also arranged, relatively poor because of WATER RESISTANCE equally, to factor affecting such as the degree of sizing that becomes paper do not improve its extensive application at paper industry.
The synthetic surface sizing agent has become the main flow of Cypres at present, and the synthetic surface sizing agent promptly is to adopt various monomer polymerization reactions to generate macromolecule link thing, can be solution and emulsion.At present with fastest developing speed is cinnamic acrylic ester emulsion-type Cypres.In polymerization process, need to add emulsifying agent.Conventional emulsifier all is to exist in the emulsion to finished product in from the emulsifying stage to the course of reaction always again, is a kind of physics emulsion process.Therefore, remaining a large amount of free emulsifying agents have a strong impact on resistance to water in the product that conventional emulsifier makes, and in film forming procedure, pin hole can occur, influence Surface Sizing Properties.Because the latex particle spacing that conventional emulsifier makes is bigger, the emulsion drying and forming-film time is longer, influences drying efficiency simultaneously.The while emulsifier package overlays on the emulsion particle surface and reduced the emulsion mechanical stability, and is relatively more responsive to ionic environment, increased the probability of breakdown of emulsion.
Disclose (a) among the Chinese patent CN1546792A and in hydrophobic monomer and hydrophilic monomer, added the Cypres preparation method that (b) conventional composite emulsifying agent adds (c) various applying glue promoter, applying glue promoter compounding ingredient and polysiloxanes defoamer, though can improve sizing efficiency, but add the ion complexity that conventional emulsifier and more assistant medicament have increased emulsion, influenced the result of use of sizing agent; In the U.S. Pat 5240771, disclose unsaturated acrylic acid of (a) acrylic acid (b) or acid and joined the Cypres that the emulsion polymerisation of other comonomer of (c) water-soluble monomer (d) (e) polyvinyl alcohol obtains.Though the storage stability and the sizability of this Cypres are better, its chemical stability is lower, in use is easy to breakdown of emulsion, thereby influences its practical application effect.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to provide a kind of new Cypres and preparation method thereof, it can eliminate the negative effect that emulsifying agent residual in the conventional surface sizing agent brings to effect, and the Cypres of producing has that storage stability height, sizing efficiency are good, steady performance in the use.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention proposes to adopt reactive emulsifier to prepare the new technology of paper surface-sizing agent.Reactive emulsifier has two key groups that can participate in polymerisation, has reactivity and emulsibility concurrently.Its advantage is at emulsifying stage energy emulsified monomer, in polymerization process, can become the part of latex particle with the complete polymerization reaction take place of monomer, not have residual emulsifying agent molecule in the therefore synthetic emulsion, thereby eliminated the adverse effect that conventional emulsifier brings.
According to above-mentioned design, the present invention by the following technical solutions:
A kind of paper adds the sizing agent that the preparation of soft or hard monomer has suitable vitrification point by a certain percentage with Cypres and preparation method thereof; Use reactive emulsifier to prepare the latex particle of surface cleaning, add the film forming that acrylic acid ester function monomer increases emulsion, be equipped with the efficient that some auxiliary materials improve emulsion polymerization simultaneously.Their weight proportion is:
Host: 100 parts of hard monomers
40~100 parts of soft monomers
5~40 parts of function monomers
Assistant agent: 1~10 part of compound emulsifying agent
1~10 part of protecting colloid
1~8 part of initator
It is in vinylacetate, styrene, methyl methacrylate, the acrylonitrile one or more that above-mentioned Cypres prepares used hard monomer.
It is butyl acrylate that above-mentioned Cypres prepares used soft monomer, one or more in methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, the acrylic acid ethylhexyl.
It is in acrylic acid-2-ethyl caproite, hydroxyethyl methacrylate propane sulfonic acid sodium, the acrylic acid-2-hydroxyl-ethyl ester one or more that above-mentioned Cypres prepares used function monomer.
It is in polyoxyethylene nonylphenol ether, lauryl sodium sulfate, polyoxyethylene nonylphenol ether ammonium sulfate, allyloxy polyoxyethylene nonylphenol ether ammonium sulfate, neopelex, the octadecanoic acid ester of polyethylene glycol one or more that above-mentioned Cypres prepares used emulsifying agent.
It is that oxidized form or redox are compound that above-mentioned Cypres prepares used initator, is ammonium persulfate or potassium peroxydisulfate/sodium hydrogensulfite.
Divide following step in the preparation process:
(1) monomer emulsification: a certain amount of main monomer and function monomer are mixed to join in the deionized water of emulsifying agent, under uniform temperature and mixing speed, mix and stir, make emulsified monomer.Main monomer is one or more in vinylacetate, styrene, methyl methacrylate, the acrylonitrile.
(2) preparation seed emulsion: the emulsified monomer of a part is joined in the reactor, add a certain amount of composite initiator, stirring reaction under suitable temperature is up to there being strong blue light to occur
(3) seeded emulsion polymerization: on the seed emulsion particle basis that makes, remaining emulsified monomer and initator be added drop-wise in the reactor on the seed emulsion particle, react.
(4) monomer and initator add the back thermal reacting for two hours, and cooling adds the redox initiator reaction that contains uncle's base alkane then, reduces the conversion ratio that residual monomer increases monomer, adds ammoniacal liquor and regulates the pH value, filters discharging.
This Cypres average grain diameter is 150nm after testing, and mechanicalness and ionic stable has splendid mixcibility mutually with modified starch, can dilute with the water arbitrary proportion, is difficult for breakdown of emulsion, is difficult for flocculation.
Through application testing, the Cypres of this method preparation has good degree of sizing effect, and paper sizing degree and deflection all have rising significantly, and it is good to observe this Cypres filming performance through ESEM (SEM), and the paper surface planarization is good.
The present invention compared with prior art has following conspicuous substantive distinguishing features and advantage:
1. adopt reactive emulsifier to substitute conventional emulsifier: reactive emulsifier carbon-carbon double bonds and hydrophily ion that the present invention uses, in course of reaction, can be attached on the latex particle with the form of monomer reaction with chemical bond, the hydrophily ion dissolves at aqueous phase, thereby improved the water-soluble of emulsion particle, greatly improved the ability that prevents breakdown of emulsion; Also add the good compound use of the high molecular surfactant that has outstanding emulsifying capacity of matching property simultaneously, improve emulsifying capacity.
2. use composite initiator to replace single initator, polymerization reduces the generation of gel at low temperatures.
The redox composite initiator is used in this experiment, and it is few to produce the needed activation evergy of free radical, and the efficiency of initiation height can make the monomer polymerization reaction take place under lower temperature.Therefore being lower than polymerization under the general polymerization temperature, can prevent the generation of implode, also can greatly reduce the generation of gel.
3. add the acrylate functional monomer that is rich in hydroxyl, increase the emulsion film forming performance.
This Cypres can use separately or with the composite use of surface sizing starch, the compound proportion of this Cypres and oxidized starch is 1: 99~20: 80, to paper and paperboard surface applying glue, can increase substantially the ring crush intensity of paper and cardboard, significantly improve the surface strength and the water repelling property of paper and cardboard.Compare with Cypres, the viscosity of this Cypres is less, therefore can stick with paste with oxidized starch and fully mix with vast scale, with this Cypres and the composite use of oxidized starch, find that this Cypres and oxidized starch have synergy, the humidification of cardboard deflection and folding resistance are greater than adding oxidized starch or water-soluble thermosetting resin separately; At compound proportion is can make the paper WATER RESISTANCE reach optimum value at 10: 90 o'clock, and application testing shows that WATER RESISTANCE reaches the like product international most advanced level.Adopting compound scheme can improve the ring crush intensity and the deflection of cardboard on the one hand, can reduce the cost of Cypres on the other hand, improve the competitiveness of product in market.
