Problems solved by technology

However, the use of aqueous additive compositions is often not suitable because the sheet is inherently hydrophobic or does not wet or allow drying of the sheet and is therefore incompatible with water
Similarly, the use of volatile solvents is often undesirable due to their flammability, or degradation of the sheet product due to, for example, solvent absorption leading to swelling or plasticization, or processing time too short for the applied solvent to evaporate sufficiently

example 1

[0105] The additive composition containing modified silicone softener and lotion is sprayed with carbon dioxide as compressed fluid, and UNICARB is used for spraying  System Supply Unit, which is equipped with UNICARB  Spray gun and nozzle tip including an orange-segment-shaped pre-orifice. 03-08, manufactured by Nordson. The liquid mixture was sprayed at a temperature of 60°C and a pressure of 1100 psi. A concentration of 20 wt% carbon dioxide provided a well atomized cone angle spray pattern. After increasing the CO2 concentration to 25%, a soft plume pattern is formed. After the carbon dioxide concentration is increased to 50%, a decompression jet with a very good spray pattern and fine atomization is formed. This high level of carbon dioxide enables uniform mixing with the additive composition and reduces application rates. Spray coating was done on tissue paper sheets with a very small but very uniform application of the additive composition.

example 2

[0107] Using the same equipment and spraying conditions as in Example 1, a liquid mixture containing 25% carbon dioxide was used to spray an additive composition comprising a modified lanolin softener and a lotion. This results in a decompressed spray jet with an excellent spray pattern, ie soft, wide spread and very uniform. Spraying was carried out on a tissue paper stock and the additive composition was applied very evenly in a very small amount. Then, the carbon dioxide concentration was increased to 50%, whereupon a two-phase liquid mixture was formed. This higher CO2 concentration reduced the measured spray rate from 76 to 46 g / min. The spray evenly applies the additive composition to the paper towel product.

example 3

[0109] Using the same equipment as in Example 1, the additive composition comprising quaternary ammonium salt was sprayed at a temperature of 60° C. and a pressure of 1100 psi using a liquid mixture of 20% carbon dioxide to form a good atomization and a uniform spray pattern. The concentration of carbon dioxide is increased to 40%, and after the pressure reaches 1500psi, a two-phase liquid mixture and a slightly wider spray pattern are formed. The additive composition was sprayed on the tissue paper sheet and in each case a uniform, very light application was achieved on the tissue paper sheet.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to methods for the spray application of additive compositions containing additive materials in the manufacture of sheet material products, such as paper products, textile products, and flexible sheet products by using compressed fluids, such as carbon dioxide and ethane, as a spraying medium. Additive compositions with high viscosity and which are substantially free of water and / or volatile solvent can be applied to sheet materials. Water-borne additive compositions with reduced water content can also be applied to sheet materials. One preferred spray method uses a decompressive spray of the compressed fluid which produces a uniform spray pattern and a narrow droplet size distribution that can improve application efficiency and quality when additive compositions are applied during the spraying step to rapidly conveyed sheet materials.

Description

field of invention [0001] Generally, the present invention relates to the application of additive compositions to sheet materials during the manufacture of sheet products such as paper, textiles, and flexible sheets. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of spraying an additive composition onto a sheet during the manufacture of the sheet product using a compressed fluid with enhanced atomization and a low volatile solvent content and high viscosity spray formulation things. Background of the invention [0002] Many industrial methods spray liquid compositions containing volatile solvents to effectuate the application of coatings, adhesives or additives, or spray dry materials. Solvents perform a variety of functions, e.g. for dissolving various materials, as a carrier medium for emulsions or dispersions, to reduce viscosity for spray application, and to provide suitable flow properties after spraying, for example on substrates Forms a film or penetra...
