Description
HIGH SOLIDS CONTENT CB COATING
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
. .
This invention relates to the coated back (CB) component of pressure-sensitive record elements, com~only referred to as carbonless copy paper. More particularly, this invention relates to high solids content sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based coating formulations with efficient coating viscosity and paper coated with the formulations.
Carbonless copy paper comprises two or more juxtaposed sheets. The back surfaces of the sheets have a coating containing a color-forming material, often referred to as a coated back or "CB". The coating consists of a continuous matrix or microcapsules containing the color-forming material.
The front surfaces of the receiver sheets, which in use are placed in contact with the back surfaces of the overlaid sheets, are ~oated with ~ composition containing a developer component reactive with the color-forming material. Under the application of localized pressure to the top sheet, the coatings containing the color-forming materials are ruptured thereby releasing the color-forming material to contact and react with the co-reactant or developer coating on the receiver sheets. A visible colored image is produced in areas corresponding to the locations where pressure has been applied to release the color-forming material. Therefore, the pressure applied to the top sheet causes a corresponding mark on the front of each of the other sheets of the manifold set.
~2~
The prior art discloses processes for production of coatings containing color-forming materials (also referred to as color precursors or leuco dyes) dissolved in a solvent.
Previous patents, for example, U.S. 4,397,483, 4,082,688, and GB 1,280,769, disclose CB coatings for pressure-sensitlve recording materials comprising a carboxymethylcellulose precipitate containing an oil-like solvent and a color-forming reactant. The oil containing the color-forming reactant is emulsified in an aqueous solution of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and a metal salt is added to cause precipitation of the cellulose with droplets of the oil dye solution contained therein as an isolated phase. The resulting emulsion is coated on the back of the top sheet of a carbonless copy system and dried. Often, cross-linking resins are added to the emulsion to toughen the resulting coating.
While these coatings are commercially successful, high solids cs compositions based on previous embodiments of this technology display poor stability and unmanageable viscosities too high for coating equipment and methods now in use. Low solid content CB coa-tings (e.g., 20~ non-aqueous components) require high energy comsumption and ext~nsive drving time.
Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a high percent solids content CB coating with an efficient coating viscosity.
~ t is not possible to merely decrease the water content, thereby increasing the solids content of the known CMC-based coating composition, because this results in serious rheological problems. Aqueous solutions of CMC are characterized by viscosities which increase exponentially with increased CMC concentration. Accordingly, any advantage achieved by simply increasing the CMC content, thereby producing a coating composition which may be dried more rapidly, is offset by that composition's unacceptably high viscosity and resulting poor workability.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved high solids content CB coating with low viscosity for better coating onto paper and other substrates. Another object is to increase drying efficiencies by providing a coating composition with a higher solids content and less waterO Still another object is to increase savings in labor and energy by producing low water-content coating compositions. Another object is to achieve improved imaging on computer and dot matrix printers using pressure-sensitive paper by providing a CB paper which has improved color-former release efficiency.
Another object is to produce CB coatin~s which are whiter in appearance. Yet another object is to decrease paper substrate distortion by wetting of fibers. Another object is to provide a CB coating that can be applied on a papermaking machine.
3~ -S UMM~RY OF THE I NVENT I ON
. .
It has now been discovered that a high solids content CB coating with an efficient, stable coating viscosity, and improved CB products, may be prepared using certain types of CMC, together with an acrylic resin, an organic cross-linker, and a metal salt capable of inducing precipitation of the CMC.
Use of formulations of the invention results in a high solids content CB coating composition, i.e., comprising non-aqueous material at levels greater than about 30~ by weight, with an efficient coating viscosity which can minimize many of the formerly encountered problems of CB coating compositions.
The coatable formulation consists of an emulsion of an oil containing one or more color-forming reactants in an aqueous solution of a CMC, preferably sodium CMC, having a degree of substitution in the range of 0.65 to 1.8, a wall-forming acrylic resin, a salt of a polyvalent metal an organic cross-linker, and other optionai ingredients present together in amounts sufficient to provide a total solids content in the formulation of at least 30~ by weight, preferably at least 35% by weight, and a Brookfield viscosity within the range of about 50 to about 5000 centipoises (cps), set as required for use on particular coating e~uipment and when coating at a selected web speed. Percents by weight solids, as ~sed herein, include all ingredients in the formulation other than water, that is, include the oil and dissolved dye or dyes present in the coating. In the preferred embodiments, the acrylic wall-forming resin is a copolymer o~ a carboxvlated poly ethylacrylate/methylmethacrylate copolymer, most preferably in a ratio of about 2:1 ethylacrylate to methylacrylate. The organic cross-linker is preferably a polyamide-epichlorohydrin or another resin capable of cross-linking both the CMC and the carboxylated acrylic resin.
The preferred metal salt is aluminum nitrate. In the currently preferred embodiment, the CMC employed has a low viscosity (60 to 170 cps as a 6~ aqueous solution) and a high degree of substitution, e.g., 1.1 - 1.5.
In another aspect, the invention comprises an improved CB sheet consisting of a web having an adhered, dried coating of the type described above which will release a color-former upon the application of pressure. The CB sheet is characterized by improved image intensities, lower threshold pressure, and lower cost.

DESCRIPTION
.
According to the present invention, a low viscosity CMC having a degree of substitution between about 0.65 and 1~8 is dissolved in water. CMC is an anionic water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose. The degree of substitution is the average number of carboxymethyl groups substituted per anhydroglucose unit. A high degree of substitution improves CMC's compatibility with other water-soluble components. The CMC used in accordance with this invention is preferably an alkali metal CMC such as sodium CMC having a 1.1 - 1.5 degree of substi~ution, meaning an average of 1.1 - 1.5 carboxymethyl groups per anhydro~lucose unit.
To this aqueous solution is added an acrylic wall-forming resin. The preferred resin, Carboset 514H
manufactured by B.F. Goodrich, is a carboxylated copolymer of poly e~hylacrylate/methylmethacrylate, preferably ;n a ratio of about ~:1. Other resins may be used, e.g., ACRYSOL - WS-24, available from Rohm ~ Haas, a carboxylated copolymer of polybutyl acrylate and styrene.
A solution of dyes in an oil solvent is then added to the acrylic resin ~ CMC solution. Suitable dyes and oil solvents are well known in the art. Preferred oil-dye solutions consist o basic, chromogenic lactone or phthalide dyes which are colorless or pale-colored and are developed on contact with acidic materials, dissolved in effec~ive solvents such as an alkyl biphenyl. The particular dye or dyes and the particular oil or oils used do not per se form a part of this * Trade Mark invention. However, in a preferred practice the dye or dyes employed are dissolved at concentrations of 3-12% by weight in an active oil.
To the resulting tws-phase mixture is added a cross-linker, e.gO, a cationic, water-soluble polyamide epichlorohydrin resin which cross-links the carboxymethylcellulose and the carboxylated acrylic wate~-soluble wall~forming resin. Other useful cross-linking agents include formaldehyde-donating resins such as formaldehyde resins or melamine formaldehyde resins. Kymene 557H, which may be obtained from Hercules, Inc.~ is the preferred cross-linking agent. Kymene 557H is a high efficiency, cationic, wet-strength resin that functions under acid or alkaline conditions. The combination of a CMC, an acrylic resin, and such cross-linking materials creates a water-insolu~le film coating with good flexibility and strength. Rymene reacts with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, but mainly with carboxyl groups according to work reported by Hercules, Inc.
An aluminum nitrate solution (e.g., less than 5% by weight~ is then added to the emulsion. Aluminum nitrate is used in this CB ~ormulation to insolubili2e CMC. Finally, a starch dispersion or a dispersion of other particles which act as a spacer material is added to the mixture.
The resulting coating formulation has a high solids content of at least 30%. Its viscosity may vary widely, and can easily be controlled for particular applications by decreasing water content and/or using a higher viscosity CMC. For air * Trade Mark ~2~
knife coating, the viscosity of the composition as measured at 100 RPMs using a Brookfield RVF viscometer, ~4 spindle, is set in the range of 50-250, preferably 60-~00, cps. For roll coating, the viscosity generally should be within the range of 50-120 cps; for rod coating, between 50-600 cps; and for blade coating 30Q-5000 cps. The particular viscosity used will necessarily depend on the coating equipment to be used and on the coating speed.
In preferred embodiments, the ratio of the internal phase of oil and dye to the external phase of CMC and organic cross-linking agent is increased relative to the prior art.
For example, in a preferred CB paper of the invention, the mass of the internal phase is increased by about 35% relative to prior art roating compositions.
The formulation is coated and dried on the back of paper or another substrate, typically at a coating weight greater than about 3.00 grams per square meter (dry weight), for use in carbonless copy systems. Upon the application of pressure to the substrate, the color~forming materials are transferred by means of ~he oil to the underlying sheet, which contains a material reactive with the dyes, to produce a colored image corresponding to where the pressure has been applied.
Essential ingredients of the coating of the invention include CMC having a degree of substitution between 0.65 and 1.8, a wall-forming carboxylated acrylic resin, an organic cross-linker, and a metal salt. Generally, for each 100 parts (dry weight) CMC used, the composition should contain between * Trade Mark ~f~
about 50 and 200 parts acrylic resin, between 10 and 150 parts cross-linker, between 300 and 1000 parts oil and dye, and between 4O4 and 12.2 parts salt. Preferably, for each 100 parts CMC used, the wall forming resin should be present at about 60 to 100 parts, the cross-linker present at 60 to 100 parts, the oil and dye present at 600-800 parts, and the metal salt present at 5-6 parts. Spacer particles, if used as preferred, are present in the range of 100-500, preferably 200-300, parts per 100 parts CMC.
Practice of the invention results in significant advantages over previous formulations. Higher solids content, low viscosity CB coatings can be applied and dried at higher coater speeds with substantial energy savings. Coating preparation productivity is increased with the ability to produce fewer batches while maintaining the same dry coating weight. The coating has a whiter color than previous CMC based CB compositions. Lower pressure imaging can also be achieved because of improved release efficiency. In the compositions of the invention, the CMC, carboxylated acrylic, and cross-link~r cooperate to enable production of aqueous coating compositions with controllable, stable rheological properties at any one of a wide range of viscosities.
The invention will be further understood from the following examples which are merely illustrative and not restrictive.

Therefore, the pressure applied to the top sheet causes a corresponding mark on the front of each of the other sheets of the manifold set.

The prior art discloses processes for production of coatings containing color-forming materials (also referred to as color precursors or leuco dyes) dissolved in a solvent.
Previous patents, for example, U.S. 4,397,483, 4,082,688, and GB 1,280,769, disclose CB coatings for pressure-sensitlve recording materials comprising a carboxymethylcellulose precipitate containing an oil-like solvent and a color-forming reactant. The oil containing the color-forming reactant is emulsified in an aqueous solution of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and a metal salt is added to cause precipitation of the cellulose with droplets of the oil dye solution contained therein as an isolated phase. The resulting emulsion is coated on the back of the top sheet of a carbonless copy system and dried. Often, cross-linking resins are added to the emulsion to toughen the resulting coating.
While these coatings are commercially successful, high solids cs compositions based on previous embodiments of this technology display poor stability and unmanageable viscosities too high for coating equipment and methods now in use. Low solid content CB coa-tings (e.g., 20~ non-aqueous components) require high energy comsumption and ext~nsive drving time.
Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a high percent solids content CB coating with an efficient coating viscosity.
~ t is not possible to merely decrease the water content, thereby increasing the solids content of the known CMC-based coating composition, because this results in serious rheological problems. Aqueous solutions of CMC are characterized by viscosities which increase exponentially with increased CMC concentration. Accordingly, any advantage achieved by simply increasing the CMC content, thereby producing a coating composition which may be dried more rapidly, is offset by that composition's unacceptably high viscosity and resulting poor workability.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved high solids content CB coating with low viscosity for better coating onto paper and other substrates. Another object is to increase drying efficiencies by providing a coating composition with a higher solids content and less waterO Still another object is to increase savings in labor and energy by producing low water-content coating compositions. Another object is to achieve improved imaging on computer and dot matrix printers using pressure-sensitive paper by providing a CB paper which has improved color-former release efficiency.
Another object is to produce CB coatin~s which are whiter in appearance. Yet another object is to decrease paper substrate distortion by wetting of fibers. Another object is to provide a CB coating that can be applied on a papermaking machine.
3~ -S UMM~RY OF THE I NVENT I ON
. .
It has now been discovered that a high solids content CB coating with an efficient, stable coating viscosity, and improved CB products, may be prepared using certain types of CMC, together with an acrylic resin, an organic cross-linker, and a metal salt capable of inducing precipitation of the CMC.
Use of formulations of the invention results in a high solids content CB coating composition, i.e., comprising non-aqueous material at levels greater than about 30~ by weight, with an efficient coating viscosity which can minimize many of the formerly encountered problems of CB coating compositions.
The coatable formulation consists of an emulsion of an oil containing one or more color-forming reactants in an aqueous solution of a CMC, preferably sodium CMC, having a degree of substitution in the range of 0.65 to 1.8, a wall-forming acrylic resin, a salt of a polyvalent metal an organic cross-linker, and other optionai ingredients present together in amounts sufficient to provide a total solids content in the formulation of at least 30~ by weight, preferably at least 35% by weight, and a Brookfield viscosity within the range of about 50 to about 5000 centipoises (cps), set as required for use on particular coating e~uipment and when coating at a selected web speed. Percents by weight solids, as ~sed herein, include all ingredients in the formulation other than water, that is, include the oil and dissolved dye or dyes present in the coating. In the preferred embodiments, the acrylic wall-forming resin is a copolymer o~ a carboxvlated poly ethylacrylate/methylmethacrylate copolymer, most preferably in a ratio of about 2:1 ethylacrylate to methylacrylate. The organic cross-linker is preferably a polyamide-epichlorohydrin or another resin capable of cross-linking both the CMC and the carboxylated acrylic resin.
The preferred metal salt is aluminum nitrate. In the currently preferred embodiment, the CMC employed has a low viscosity (60 to 170 cps as a 6~ aqueous solution) and a high degree of substitution, e.g., 1.1 - 1.5.
In another aspect, the invention comprises an improved CB sheet consisting of a web having an adhered, dried coating of the type described above which will release a color-former upon the application of pressure. The CB sheet is characterized by improved image intensities, lower threshold pressure, and lower cost.

DESCRIPTION
.
According to the present invention, a low viscosity CMC having a degree of substitution between about 0.65 and 1~8 is dissolved in water. CMC is an anionic water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose. The degree of substitution is the average number of carboxymethyl groups substituted per anhydroglucose unit. A high degree of substitution improves CMC's compatibility with other water-soluble components. The CMC used in accordance with this invention is preferably an alkali metal CMC such as sodium CMC having a 1.1 - 1.5 degree of substi~ution, meaning an average of 1.1 - 1.5 carboxymethyl groups per anhydro~lucose unit.
To this aqueous solution is added an acrylic wall-forming resin. The preferred resin, Carboset 514H
manufactured by B.F. Goodrich, is a carboxylated copolymer of poly e~hylacrylate/methylmethacrylate, preferably ;n a ratio of about ~:1. Other resins may be used, e.g., ACRYSOL - WS-24, available from Rohm ~ Haas, a carboxylated copolymer of polybutyl acrylate and styrene.
A solution of dyes in an oil solvent is then added to the acrylic resin ~ CMC solution. Suitable dyes and oil solvents are well known in the art. Preferred oil-dye solutions consist o basic, chromogenic lactone or phthalide dyes which are colorless or pale-colored and are developed on contact with acidic materials, dissolved in effec~ive solvents such as an alkyl biphenyl. The particular dye or dyes and the particular oil or oils used do not per se form a part of this * Trade Mark invention. However, in a preferred practice the dye or dyes employed are dissolved at concentrations of 3-12% by weight in an active oil.
To the resulting tws-phase mixture is added a cross-linker, e.gO, a cationic, water-soluble polyamide epichlorohydrin resin which cross-links the carboxymethylcellulose and the carboxylated acrylic wate~-soluble wall~forming resin. Other useful cross-linking agents include formaldehyde-donating resins such as formaldehyde resins or melamine formaldehyde resins. Kymene 557H, which may be obtained from Hercules, Inc.~ is the preferred cross-linking agent. Kymene 557H is a high efficiency, cationic, wet-strength resin that functions under acid or alkaline conditions. The combination of a CMC, an acrylic resin, and such cross-linking materials creates a water-insolu~le film coating with good flexibility and strength. Rymene reacts with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, but mainly with carboxyl groups according to work reported by Hercules, Inc.
An aluminum nitrate solution (e.g., less than 5% by weight~ is then added to the emulsion. Aluminum nitrate is used in this CB ~ormulation to insolubili2e CMC. Finally, a starch dispersion or a dispersion of other particles which act as a spacer material is added to the mixture.
The resulting coating formulation has a high solids content of at least 30%. Its viscosity may vary widely, and can easily be controlled for particular applications by decreasing water content and/or using a higher viscosity CMC. For air * Trade Mark ~2~
knife coating, the viscosity of the composition as measured at 100 RPMs using a Brookfield RVF viscometer, ~4 spindle, is set in the range of 50-250, preferably 60-~00, cps. For roll coating, the viscosity generally should be within the range of 50-120 cps; for rod coating, between 50-600 cps; and for blade coating 30Q-5000 cps. The particular viscosity used will necessarily depend on the coating equipment to be used and on the coating speed.
In preferred embodiments, the ratio of the internal phase of oil and dye to the external phase of CMC and organic cross-linking agent is increased relative to the prior art.
For example, in a preferred CB paper of the invention, the mass of the internal phase is increased by about 35% relative to prior art roating compositions.
The formulation is coated and dried on the back of paper or another substrate, typically at a coating weight greater than about 3.00 grams per square meter (dry weight), for use in carbonless copy systems. Upon the application of pressure to the substrate, the color~forming materials are transferred by means of ~he oil to the underlying sheet, which contains a material reactive with the dyes, to produce a colored image corresponding to where the pressure has been applied.
Essential ingredients of the coating of the invention include CMC having a degree of substitution between 0.65 and 1.8, a wall-forming carboxylated acrylic resin, an organic cross-linker, and a metal salt. Generally, for each 100 parts (dry weight) CMC used, the composition should contain between * Trade Mark ~f~
about 50 and 200 parts acrylic resin, between 10 and 150 parts cross-linker, between 300 and 1000 parts oil and dye, and between 4O4 and 12.2 parts salt. Preferably, for each 100 parts CMC used, the wall forming resin should be present at about 60 to 100 parts, the cross-linker present at 60 to 100 parts, the oil and dye present at 600-800 parts, and the metal salt present at 5-6 parts. Spacer particles, if used as preferred, are present in the range of 100-500, preferably 200-300, parts per 100 parts CMC.
Practice of the invention results in significant advantages over previous formulations. Higher solids content, low viscosity CB coatings can be applied and dried at higher coater speeds with substantial energy savings. Coating preparation productivity is increased with the ability to produce fewer batches while maintaining the same dry coating weight. The coating has a whiter color than previous CMC based CB compositions. Lower pressure imaging can also be achieved because of improved release efficiency. In the compositions of the invention, the CMC, carboxylated acrylic, and cross-link~r cooperate to enable production of aqueous coating compositions with controllable, stable rheological properties at any one of a wide range of viscosities.
The invention will be further understood from the following examples which are merely illustrative and not restrictive.
