Definitions
- the present application relates to an insulating paperboard, and more particularly to an insulating paperboard containing processed cellulosic fibers
- Hot foods are commonly served and consumed in disposable containers. These containers are made from a variety of materials including paperboard and foamed polymeric sheet material.
- paperboard and foamed polymeric sheet material One of the least expensive sources of paperboard material is cellulose fibers.
- Cellulose fibers are employed to produce excellent paperboards for the production of hot cups, press-molded paperboard plates and bowls, and other food and beverage containers.
- Conventional paperboard produced from cellulosic fibers is relatively dense, and therefore, transmits heat more readily than, for example, foamed polymeric sheet material.
- hot liquids are typically served in doubled cups of conventional paperboard or in cups with sleeves.
- insulating paperboard produced from cellulosic material that has good insulating characteristics, that will allow the user to sense that food in the container is warm or hot and at the same time will allow the consumer of the food or beverage in the container to hold the container for a lengthy period of time without the sensation of excessive temperature. It is further desirable to provide an insulating paperboard that can be tailored to provide a variety of insulating characteristics so that the temperature drop across the paperboard can be adjusted for a particular end use.
- the substrate 10 for the insulating paperboard 12 of the present application is produced in a conventional manner from readily available fibers such as cellulosic fibers.
- the paperboard of the present application can be made in a single-ply, a two-ply construction, or a multi-ply construction, as desired.
- the distinguishing characteristic of the present application is that at least one ply, 14, of the insulating paperboard, whether a single-ply or a multiple-ply structure, contains processed cellulosic fibers in addition to chemical pulp fibers.
- the processed cellulosic fibers increase the insulating characteristics of the board.
- chemical pulp fibers useable in the present application are derived primarily from wood pulp and may be refined. Suitable wood pulp fibers for use with the application can be obtained from well-known chemical processes such as the kraft and sulfite processes, with or without subsequent bleaching. Softwoods and hardwoods can be used. Details of the selection of wood pulp fibers are well known to those skilled in the art.
- suitable cellulosic fibers produced from southern pine that are useable in the present application are available from a number of companies including Weyerhaeuser Company under the designations CF416, PL416, FR416 , and NB416.
- a bleached Kraft wet lap pulp, KKT, Prince Albert Softwood and Grande Prairie Softwood, all manufactured by Weyerhaeuser are examples of northern softwoods that can be used.
- processed cellulosic fibers include fibers that are 1) chemically processed to change the cellulose from Cellulose 1 to Cellulose 11, such as mercerized and mercerized flash dried fibers in which the mercerization is conducted as one stage in the bleaching process.
- Mercerized fibers such as HPZ and mercerized flash dried fibers such as HPZ III, both manufactured by Buckeye Technologies, Memphis TN, and Porosinier- J-HP available from Rayonier Performance Fibers Division, Jessup, GA are suitable for use in the present application. These mercerized softwood pulps have an ⁇ -cellulose purity of 95% or greater and are stiff fibers. Processed fibers also include 2) mechanically and chemimechanically treated fibers such as chemithermomechanical pulp fibers (CTMP), bleached chemithermomechanical pulp fibers (BCTMP), thermomechanical pulp fibers (TMP), refiner groundwood pulp fibers and groundwood pulp fibers. Recycled or secondary wood pulp fibers are also suitable.

- Suitable wet strength agents include cationic modified starch having nitrogen-containing groups (e.g., amino groups), such as those available from National Starch and Chemical Corp., Bridgewater, NJ; latex; wet strength resins, such as polyamide-epichlorohydrin resin (e.g., KYMENE 557LX, Hercules, Inc., Wilmington, DE), and polyacrylamide resin (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No.
- binding agents include starch, modified starch, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, polyethylene/acrylic acid copolymer, acrylic acid polymers, polyacrylate, polyacrylamide, polyamine, guar gum, oxidized polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride/acrylic acid copolymers, acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene copolymers, and polyacrylonitrile. Many of these will be formed into latex polymers for dispersion or suspension in water.
- Hot water ⁇ T is determined in a simulated tester that models the heat transfer through a paper cup.
- a box of plexiglass measuring 12.1 cm by 12.1 cm by 12.1 cm has a sample opening of 8.9 cm by 8.9 cm.
- the box is insulated with 2.54 cm thick polystyrene foam.
- a sample of paperboard is laminated on one surface with TartanTM Label Protection Tape Clear 3765 by 3M (St. Paul, MN).
- the polyethylene may be extruded onto the surface of the board.
- Hot water at a temperature of 87.8°C is poured into the box, a small stir bar inserted, and the polyethylene coated face of the sample is placed into the apparatus.
- thermocouple microprobes are taped to the outside of the paperboard surface with conducting tape.
- a data logger records the temperature of the inside water temperature and the outside surface temperature from which the temperature drop (hot water ⁇ T) can be calculated. Stated in another way, ⁇ T is the difference between the inside water temperature and the outside surface temperature.
- ⁇ T is the difference between the inside water temperature and the outside surface temperature.
- This method is representative of making a 300 gsm board with 60 % CTMP.
- Other paperboards, shown in Table 1, of various basis weights and processed fiber levels can be made with adjustment to the appropriate amounts and weights of fiber and other additives.
- the bleached Douglas Fir component was refined to 510 CSF; crill (bleached Douglas Fir refined to 50 CSF) was added to all samples at a level of 5% of total dry fiber weight.
- CTMP 44.44 g fiber (40.83 % consistency), 37.4 g Douglas Fir refined to 510 CSF (29.1 % consistency),60.5 g Douglas Fir refined to 50 CSF (2.5 % consistency), (crill), and 3.02 g polyvinylalcohol (Celvol 165SF PVOH, available from Celanese, Dallas TX), 100 % solids, were disintegrated for 5 minutes in a British Disintegrator. The mixture was diluted to 4 L withdeionized water and adjusted to a pH of 7.2-7.4 using NaHCO 3 .
- a 31.75 x 31.75 cm forming wire (155 mesh) was placed in the bottom of a Noble & Wood 12" by 12" handsheet mold, the slurry poured into the sheet mold, diluted to 35 liters with deionized water and mixed with a plunger. The slurry was then drained, dewatered by using blotters with even hand pressing until the sheet reached a consistency of approximately 20%. The sheet was removed from the screen and blotted further to approximately 30% solids. Blotters were placed on each side of the sample, the sample placed between damp felts and then passed through a press at 137.8 kPa (20 psi) to further dewater the sample. The solids content at this point was approximately 40 %.
- the resulting sheet was placed on a drum dryer, ( surface temperature of 121 °C), between two dry blotters and allowed to dry for 10 minutes. The sample was then inverted and allowed to dry an additional 10 minutes. The sample was conditioned in a 50 % Relative Humidity room for a minimum of 4 hours prior to testing.
