Solution Overview

Problem

Existing anti-contamination agent compositions in paper-making processes are insufficient in preventing pitch contamination in dry parts, as they fail to effectively disperse and prevent pitch adhesion on equipment surfaces.

Innovation Solution

An anti-contamination agent composition containing a linear polysiloxane compound and a cyclic siloxane compound, along with an emulsifier and water, is applied to dry parts, forming a film that prevents pitch adhesion and efficiently disperses pitch, with specific blending ratios and properties enhancing the pitch dispersing and adhesion prevention effects.

1Object-affected harmful factors

If existing anti-contamination agent compositions containing silicone-based compounds are applied to dry parts, then pitch adhesion is prevented to some extent, but pitch dispersibility is insufficient and undispersed pitch may reach the dry part

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines a linear polysiloxane compound (provides adhesion prevention) with a cyclic siloxane compound (provides dispersibility) to create a composite anti-contamination agent. This composite formulation simultaneously achieves both pitch adhesion prevention and effective pitch dispersal, resolving the contradiction between these two functions that could not be satisfied by single-component compositions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent specifies precise parameter ranges for the polysiloxane compound (formula (1) with specific substituents R1 and repeating units n from 20 to 1430) and combines it with cyclic siloxane compounds in specific ratios. By optimizing these chemical parameters and composition ratios, the anti-contamination agent achieves both sufficient adhesion prevention and effective pitch dispersibility.

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If polysiloxane compounds with specific chemical structures are used to prevent pitch adhesion, then anti-contamination effect is achieved, but pitch dispersal effectiveness is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepitch adhesion preventionVSAvoidundispersed pitch
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite system where the linear polysiloxane compound (with substituents including amino-modified, epoxy-modified, carboxy, phenol, or mercapto groups) provides adhesion prevention while the cyclic siloxane compound (octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, or dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane) provides dispersal capability. This composite approach simultaneously addresses both harmful effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The cyclic siloxane compound acts as an intermediary substance that facilitates pitch dispersal while the polysiloxane compound prevents adhesion. Together they form a coordinated system where each component performs its specialized function, effectively managing both adhesion prevention and pitch dispersal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
