EP1164100A2 - Attaching label - Google Patents

Abstract

A label which can be fixed to a surface, comprises an adhesive front side and a non-adhesive rear, as well as two longitudinal edges for changing rollers. A paper carrier is coated with adhesive material (N1). Part of the non-adhesive rear section of the paper carrier has a double sided adhesive tape (DO) which is 0.5-15 mm from the longitudinal edge of the adhesive tape.

Description

The invention relates to a fastening label for the flying roll change and a Splice process using such an attachment label, especially in Paper finishing machines, printing machines and the like.

Flying roll change is common in paper mills or the like Procedure to stop an old, almost without having to stop the fast running machines Replace unwound paper roll with a new one. In doing so, double-sided adhesive Self-adhesive tapes, so-called fixes, are used, which on the one hand are very sticky and tacky are, on the other hand due to their water-soluble self-adhesive compositions and Do not disturb paper carriers when reusing paper waste in the paper machine. These fixes are artfully glued in a prong shape at the beginning of the web, one Procedure that requires experienced professionals, being for the entire operation due to the fast running machines there is only about 4 - 5 minutes of time.

Although this technology has been tried and tested, it has some disadvantages. So requires specialist staff, hectic pace is given, and the bonds are also relative thick, since two layers of paper and the fix in between are the result: an undesirable result in the paper industry.

There are various products for this "tip gluing" when changing rolls on the fly on the market, so-called fixes, which, in addition to a paper backing, are water-soluble Have self-adhesive coated on both sides. Such adhesive tapes include under the name tesafix (Beiersdorf) in the trade.

Various adhesive tapes for such purposes are described in the prior art. For example, EP 418 527 A2 discloses a method for preparing a roll of web-shaped printing material for automatic roll changers and an adhesive strip suitable therefor. DE 40 33 900 A1 also describes an adhesive tape suitable for a splice point. Adhesive areas, however, which are exposed after the splice process has taken place, are disadvantageous.

US 5,702,555 teaches the non-adhesive covering of otherwise exposed adhesive areas for more static loads securing a roll start, while DE 196 32 689 A2 discloses such an adhesive tape for dynamic loads in the splice process, the paper carrier of which splits and covers the adhesive with its remnants.

This is also an adhesive tape according to DE 196 28 317 A1 , also for a splice process. This adhesive tape carries on its non-adhesive rear side a double-sided adhesive tape (6) which has a splicing-friendly paper carrier (7) which splits during the splice process (7a, 7b, Figure 3) and covers the respective adhesive. This double-sided adhesive tape (6) closes laterally with one side of the paper carrier (2), so it is arranged along one of the longitudinal edges of the adhesive tape.

In practice, these adhesive tapes also have disadvantages, initially because that a splice does not succeed, rather ends up as a ripper without a reason would be apparent.

The object of the invention was to remedy this.

This is solved by a fastening label and splice process, as is the case in detail is characterized in more detail in the claims. To avoid repetitions expressly referred to the claims, in particular also regarding preferred embodiments.

According to the invention splice succeed without tears, the central feature of provided offset or the distance V of the double-sided adhesive tape DO from the Longitudinal edge LK of the attachment label represents. Using comparative tests, the This success is shown in the table compared to the prior art.

Split paper

The fissile paper advantageously has a significantly smaller gap resistance than that Paper carrier that has to absorb the tensile forces. A sufficient difference is helpful for the functional principle of the product according to the invention.

• Duplex Papiere: Diese Papiere sind handelsüblich und werden z.B. bei der Herstellung von Filtermaterialien und Tapeten eingesetzt.
• Leicht spaltende Papiere: Die Einstellung der Spaltarbeit erfolgt über die Verdichtung der Papierfaserstruktur. Je geringer die Verdichtung ist, desto geringer ist die Spaltarbeit.
  Geeignete Papiertypen sind beispielsweise einseitig glatte Naturpapiere oder auch hochsatinierte Kraftpapiere.
• Geleimte Papiersysteme: Die Spaltarbeit wird über die Chemie des Haftleims eingestellt. Der Leim soll in das Papier nur unwesentlich eindrungen sein.

The following papers or paper composite systems can be used as split papers:

• Duplex papers: These papers are commercially available and are used, for example, in the manufacture of filter materials and wallpapers.
• Easily splitting papers: The splitting work is stopped by compressing the paper fiber structure. The lower the compression, the less the splitting work.
  Suitable paper types are, for example, plain paper that is smooth on one side or high-satin kraft paper.
• Glued paper systems: The splitting work is stopped using the adhesive glue chemistry. The glue is said to have penetrated the paper only insignificantly.

Clean cut edges are also helpful for the purposes of the present invention. At the Cutting process should not result in mass squeezing. The fissile The attachment surface of the gap material should in particular not be covered with PSA become.

According to the invention, the indentation of the fissile material or the distance V should be 0.5 - 15 mm, in particular 1 - 7 mm and very particularly 1.5 mm - 3.5 mm.

• Duplexpapiere (definiert zusammen laminierte Papiere, der Spaltvorgang verläuft extrem homogen, es entsehen keine Spannungsspitzen, z.B. durch inhomogene Verdichtung. Diese Papiere werden zur Herstellung von Tapeten und Filtern eingesetzt.
• Leicht spaltbare Papiersysteme
• Definiert zusammen geleimte hochverdichtete Papiere (⇒ Papier mit einer hoher Spaltfestigkeit). Die Leimung kann beispielsweise mit Stärke, stärkehaltigen Derivaten, Tapetenkleister auf Basis von Methylcellulose (Methylan ®, Henkel KGaA, Düsseldorf) aber auch auf Basis von Polyvinylalkoholderivaten erfolgen.
• Die Breite des Trägers aus Spaltpapier beträgt bevorzugt 3 - 20 mm, insbesondere 6 - 12 mm.

Various splittable paper systems come into question as split paper, such as

• Duplex papers (defines laminated papers together, the splitting process is extremely homogeneous, there are no stress peaks, for example due to inhomogeneous compression. These papers are used for the production of wallpapers and filters.
• Easily cleavable paper systems
• Defines high-density papers glued together (⇒ paper with high splitting strength). Sizing can be done, for example, with starch, starch-containing derivatives, wallpaper paste based on methyl cellulose (Methylan®, Henkel KGaA, Düsseldorf), but also based on polyvinyl alcohol derivatives.
• The width of the carrier made of split paper is preferably 3-20 mm, in particular 6-12 mm.

• Acrylate (wasserlöslich und nicht wasserlöslich)
• Naturkautschukmassen, Synthesekautschukmassen

All basic types of PSA come into question as self-adhesive compositions, in particular

• Acrylates (water-soluble and water-insoluble)
• Natural rubber compounds, synthetic rubber compounds

The splice process, here the gluing with the splice label, can in particular do so take place that several labels on the perpendicular to the running web Approach to be glued (disadvantage: fissile paper system must be in a split second completely split), but also on an approach that runs at an acute angle (advantage: Splitting process runs as a wave through the individual labels), in particular up to 25 ° everything up to 15 °.

The drawings show a schematic representation of an inventive Fastening labels in cross section or in an oblique plan view and are intended to be the invention explain it as an example. The reference numerals are explained in the claims.

A.

Fixierung der oberen Lage während der rotativen Beschleunigung der neuen Rolle.

B.

Öffnen der neuen Rolle nach dem Kontakt zur ablaufenden Bahn durch Aufreißen an Sollbruchstellen.

Compared to known fastening labels, there are considerable advantages. In general, fastening labels have two functions:

A.

Fixation of the upper layer during the rotary acceleration of the new roll.

B.

Open the new roll after contact with the running web by tearing at predetermined breaking points.

The functions "secure fixing" and "easy opening" described above are difficult to connect because the direction of action is identical. Therefore, a "safe Fix "a" stiff opening "and vice versa a" easy opening " "unsafe fixing" result.

The use of the fastening labels according to the invention optimizes both Fastening as well as opening the top layer of a new roll. This Attachment labels can also be subjected to tensile loads because they do not Have predetermined breaking points and the label is split instead of being torn open.

Through the adhesive surface on the upper side of the invention Attachment labels are created immediately after contact with the running web a force component in the z direction (radial force). This force leads that a specially equipped label component, which is between the lower Label side and the roll circumference is glued, splits and thus the new roll opens reliably (peeling process).

The special product structure of the fastening labels according to the invention enables an independent setting of the necessary fixing and tear force.

In addition, the adhesive surface on the upper side of the label also takes over the function the contact between the running web and a new role. Depending on the requirement thus the need for double-sided adhesive tapes with the splice can be reduced or completely eliminated.

As an alternative to perforation, the dispenser can be adjusted with a dispenser Cutting and cutting unit suitable. But also individual labels with release paper or Separating film covered on both sides are suitable.

Other adhesive tapes of the prior art can also be in the form of individual labels, as described here, are used in a splice process, in particular those according to DE 196 32 689 and very particularly according to DE 196 28 317.

Test methods Measurement of the splitting strength of papers Purpose and area of application

Testing the strength of paper or other fiber-based materials in the z direction. The splitting strength is determined.
The splitting strength is the force that has to be overcome to split a paper body in the z direction.

Principle of the method

Two adhesive tapes are placed opposite each other on the paper to be tested and pulled apart on the tensile testing machine at an angle of 180 ° C. The the force to be overcome for splitting the paper is the splitting strength.

Devices and test climate

Tensile testing machine
Blade or strip cutter 15mm wide
Manual reel 2kg
Test climate: 23 +/- 1 ° C, 50 +/- 5% rel. Humidity

materials

Adhesive tape such as 7475 test tape
Width 20 mm, stripes approx. 20 cm in length

Test sample

DINA 4 sheets
The samples must be conditioned in the standard climate for at least 16 hours.

Test execution

Two adhesive tapes are placed opposite each other on the paper to be tested and lightly brushed with your finger to avoid air pockets.
Then the hand roller quickly rolls 2 * on each side of the composite to achieve perfect bond strength.
The bond is to be made in such a way that the ends of the adhesive tape protrude beyond the test specimen on one side and can be glued to itself to form a handle.

Depending on the test objective, the test direction can be in the running direction or transverse to the running direction of the Test specimen.

With the steel ruler, 15 mm wide strips with a length of approx. 20 cm are cut out in the middle of the composite. Then the two handles of the outstanding adhesive tape are pulled apart by hand until the paper test piece can be seen to split.
Then the test specimen is clamped freely on the handles at the top and bottom of the tensile testing machine and the rest of the strip is pulled apart at a constant speed of 300 mm / min.
In the case of very thin papers, care must be taken to ensure that the result is not falsified by the fact that the opposite edges of the adhesive tape make contact and stick on the edge of the test specimen.

Evaluation and assessment

The splitting strength of the paper is given in cN / cm.
The average of 5 values determined is given.
