Abstract

Abstract An aqueous mixture of lignosulfonate and an isoprene resin ground to particulate form having a melting point of 80-130* C. in the ratio of liquosulfonate to isoprene resin in the range of 0.2:1 to 4:1 based on the dry weights is added to an aqueous slurry of cellulosic fibers. The aqueous mixture of liquosulfonate and resin can be stabilized with acetic acid or a mixture of acetic acid and an alkali metal acetate. A paper web is formed from the slurry, dewatered and heated to a temperature exceeding the melting point of the isoprene resin to fix the resin onto the cellulosic fibers without requiring a fixing agent.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 65 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the isoprene resin and lignosulfonate are mixed in the presence of an acetic acid stabilizer present in an amount from 0.001 to 1 weight percent, based upon the dry weight of the isoprene resin and lignosulfonate solids, prior to intermixing with the cellulosic fiber. A process according to claim 2 wherein the lignosulfonate is a spent sulfite liquor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 52 words
A process according to claim 3 wherein the ratio of the spent sulfite liquor solids to the resin is in the range of from 0.75:1 to 2.0:1, and the stabilizer is a mixture of acetic acid and an alkali metal acetate present in an amount of from 0.01 to 0.1 weight percent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A process according to claim 4 wherein the spent sulfite liquod solids-resin mixture is intermixed with the cellulosic fibers in an amount of from 0.5 to 2 weight percent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 43 words
A process according to claim 5 wherein the cellulosic fibers intermixed with the mixture of spent sulfite liquor and isoprene resin are subsequently dewatered and heated at a temperature exceeding the melting point of the isoprene resin by from 20* to 100* C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
A process according to claim 6 wherein the paper sheet is heated at a temperature in the range of from 40* to 60* C. in excess of the melting point of the isoprene resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 10 words
A paper sheet obtained by the process of claim 1.
