摘要:
This invention is directed to an aqueous polymeric binder composition that is useful in improving the wet strength of pre-moistened wipes. The binder composition comprises a blend or mixture of two components. One component is a water dispersible polymer capable of binding together the fibers composing a nonwoven web. The other component is an aqueous solution or dispersion of a polymer comprised predominantly of self-crosslinking monomer(s).

This invention relates to a dual crosslinkable polymer/crosslinking system particularly suited for use in preparing high quality nonwoven products. The polymeric binders incorporate at least two different but reactive functionalities, i.e., hydroxy and carboxyl, and which are capable of reacting with two other multifunctional reactants, i.e., polyaldehydes and aziridines, each of which reacts with at least one of the functionalities present in the polymer. This selection of reactive functionality coupled with the selection of crosslinking agents permits ambient temperature cure.

This invention is directed to alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE)-free polymer binders formed by aqueous free radical emulsion polymerization and having specific peel and cure properties. The APE-free polymeric binders have a peel value, when adhered to a heated metal surface, of 35% to 200% of the peel value shown by a standard APE-based polymer binder control and exhibit a cure profile such that at least 55% cure is achieved within 30 seconds at a temperature required for cure, and a wet tensile strength at 30-seconds of cure of at least 1000 g/5 cm. Wet tensile strength is used as a measure of cure. Binders having the peel and cure properties described herein can be considered for use in crepe processes, especially DRC processes.
摘要:
The following method is used to measure the adhesion of a polymer binder to a heated metal surface:A metal plate is attached to a heated (350° F.; 177° C.) platform and allowed to equilibrate to the temperature of the platform. A polymer emulsion binder is applied to a substrate, such as cotton fabric, and an end of the coated substrate is attached to a tensile measuring apparatus. The coated side of the coated substrate is pressed onto the heated metal plate; e.g., using a 3-lb lab roller. After a length of time to cause drying and/or partial cure of the binder (approximately 30 seconds), the metal plate and the tensile measuring device are separated at a given uniform speed. The amount of force needed to remove the substrate from the metal plate is recorded.

This invention is directed to formation of a creped nonwoven web. The creped web is formed in a creping process using a polymer emulsion binder formed in an alkylphenol ethoxylate-free surfactant system. The surfactant system comprises a combination of a specific active anionic surfactant (sodium laureth sulfate containing 1 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide) and a specific active nonionic surfactant (a secondary alcohol ethoxylate containing 7 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide or an ethoxylated branched primary alcohol containing 3 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide.)

This invention is directed to APE-free polymer binders formed by emulsion polymerization and having specific peel and cure properties. The APE-free polymeric binders have a peel value, when adhered to a heated metal surface, of 35% to 200% of the peel value shown by a standard APE-based polymer binder control (i.e., AIRFLEX® 105 vinyl acetate-ethylene polymer emulsion) and exhibit a cure profile such that at least 55% cure is achieved within 30 seconds at a temperature required for cure. Wet tensile strength is used as a measure of cure. The peel value is determined by a modified release and adhesion test. Binders having the peel and cure properties described herein can be considered for use in crepe processes, especially DRC processes.

This invention relates to polymers particularly suited for use in preparing high quality nonwoven products. The binders for the banquet incorporate at least two different but reactive functionalities and which are capable of reacting with two other multifunctional reactants each of which will react with at least one of the functionalities present in the polymer. The two functionalities copolymerized into these backbones include the acetoacetoxy moiety and a carboxylic acid group. The crosslinking is effected by adding a compound capable of reacting and crosslinking the acetoacetoxy moiety and another compound capable of reacting and crosslinking the carboxylic acid functionality. The former can be a dialdehyde such as glyoxal or glutaraldehyde. The second functionality is a polyaziridine functional compound such as N-aminoethyl-N-aziridilethylamine, N,N-bis-2-aminopropyl-N-aziridilethylamine, N-3,6,9-triazanonylaziridine, the bis and tris aziridines of di and tri acrylates of alkoxylated polyols, the trisaziridine of the triacrylate of the adduct of glycerine and propylene oxide.

摘要:
A process for forming a synthetic based nonwoven web bonded with a crosslinkable polymer wherein an aqueous polymeric emulsion containing a crosslinkable polymer is applied to the synthetic based nonwoven web, the water removed, and the crosslinkable polymer crosslinked. The crosslinkable polymer incorporates acetoacetate functionality and carboxylic acid functionality; wherein crosslinking is achieved by the reaction of the acetoacetate with an effective amount of a polyaldehyde and the reaction of the carboxylic acid with an effective amount of a polyaziridine compound.
