Abstract:
A method of curing cementitious material comprising added a carboxylated bleached wood pulp fiber to the material during mixing. The fiber has a carboxyl content of from 10 to 70 meq/100 g cellulose fiber. The fibers are 0.1 to 5% by weight of the dry weight of the cementitious material. The structure produced by the method. The autogenous shrinkage of the cementitious material is reduced.
Abstract:
A water- and oil-resistant agent obtained by mixing a fluorine-containing copolymer obtained by copolymerizing (a) a (meth)acrylate monomer (a) having a polyfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, (b) a vinylpyrrolidone monomer, (c) a monomer having an anion-donating group, and (d) a fluorine-free (meth)acrylate monomer with a liquid medium and an acid under heating, can have a decreased residual amount of unreacted vinylpyrrolidone monomer of at most 10 ppm and can afford a superior water- and oil-resistance to a paper. The invention also discloses a method of producing the water- and oil-resistant agent, a paper treatment composition comprising the water- and oil-resistant agent, a method for treating a paper with the treatment composition, and a paper treated with the water- and oil-resistant agent.
Abstract:
Methods to control and suppress odor in papermaking sludge are described. One method involves admixing sludge from a papermaking process and cyclodextrin to provide treated sludge with the cyclodextrin present in an effective amount to control odors in the treated sludge. The deodorized sludge may be used as a component of resin-wood composite products, such as composite decking materials, walls, flooring, casting forms, and the like.
Abstract:
[Problems] It is a main object to provide sanitary thin paper that changes little in hand feel due to ambient humidity[Measure for Solving Problems] This is solved by sanitary thin paper, containing 5 to 40 wt % of thin paper treating agent, which exhibits a fluent liquid state at ordinary temperatures and includes an effective ingredient containing a predetermined amount of moisturizing agent, a predetermined amount of softening agent and 0.001 to 1.0 wt % of hydrophilic high molecular compound.
Abstract:
A polymer comprising i) a synthetic polymeric component that has been formed from an ethylenically unsaturated water-soluble or potentially water-soluble monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer carrying a reactive group, wherein the reactive group is directly reactive with a cellulose binding domain protein; and ii) a protein component consisting of a cellulose binding domain protein, wherein the cellulose binding domain protein. The polymer is particularly suitable as a dry strength resin in a paper making process. It can also be used as a wet strength resin, internal sizing agent or surface sizing agent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the control of pitch in an aqueous medium by adding surface-reacted natural calcium carbonate or an aqueous suspension comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate and having a pH greater than 6.0 measured at 20° C., to the medium, wherein the surface-reacted calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and one or more acids, the use of the surface-reacted natural calcium carbonate for pitch control, as well as to a combination of a surface-reacted natural calcium carbonate and talc for pitch control, and the resulting composites.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for manufacturing liquid packaging board, in which process a board pulp is treated with a percarboxylic acid by adding to the pulp percarboxylic acid in an amount of 0.5-5 kg/ton of dry pulp, indicated as a 100 percent percarboxylic acid, whereafter, or simultaneously with the percarboxylic acid treatment, sizing is carried out with a combination of a resin size and a neutral size, which is followed by board forming. The manufactured board has good resistance to liquid penetration.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a paper product and a method for manufacturing a paper product. In an embodiment, the invention includes a paper product including a paper substrate comprising a web of fibers having a first surface and a second surface and having a selective indicator provided over the first surface, the first surface observably different than the second surface under a selective condition. A first release coating can be provided over the first surface or the second surface. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method for forming a paper product comprising applying a composition having a selective indicator to a web of fibers having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the composition is applied to the first surface and results in the first surface being observably different under a selective condition. The method further includes applying a first release composition to one of the first surface or second surfaces to form the paper product.
