Orifice geometry as a tool for evaluating extensional flow resistance of barrier coating colors, TAPPI Journal November 2024

ABSTRACT: Knowledge of extensional flow behavior of coating colors can be beneficial for improving runnability and eliminating defects in various coating processes. The current work evaluates the use of an orifice geometry attached to a commercial capillary viscometer as a tool to obtain extensional flow properties of barrier coating dispersions. By measuring the pressure drop across the orifice as a function of flow velocity, the method presents the flow resistance as Euler number at industrially relevant high deformation rates. The results agree with the earlier results obtained with a capillary entrance pressure loss technique. The type of polymer additive is shown to control the extensional flow resistance, with high molecular weight linear flexible polymers such as polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) having highest impact. The orifice method offers advantages over other approaches, including the need for only a small sample amount, ease of measurement, and access to high deformation rates.

Experimental investigations into fold cracking of double coated barrier dispersion coatings, TAPPI Journal November 2024

ABSTRACT: The trend for replacing single-use plastics with fiber-based barrier coated board packaging has prompted a significant amount of research. There are many proposed ways of providing suitable packaging for applications like food service. Among these are dispersion coated barriers on board, as well as laminated boards that can be produced using conventional polyethylene (PE) or new biodegradable plastics. Minerals have also been shown to be suitable additives to these coatings for improving barrier performance through surface chemistry and by increasing the tortuosity of the pathway through the barrier layer. They also improve the cost effectiveness of the layer by lowering the material cost and raising the solids content, and by improving hold out of the functional layers, leading to a reduction in the amount of barrier coating needed to meet a given performance requirement. Minerals can also aid in the barrier handling in terms of rheology and reduced “stickiness,” as well as blocking of the films. When incorporated as fillers into extruded films, improved adhesion of the film to the board has been reported. One of the remaining challenges is the potential for cracking at the fold during converting and the loss of barrier performance that this can lead to. In this work, we systematically looked at the impact of mineral type and level in a dispersion coating. We assessed the differences in performance resulting from different coating application methods for the precoat layer by looking at the cracking tendency and loss of barrier functionality after folding for both the precoat alone and the final double coated sheets. Barrier results include moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), viscous vegetable oil, and the fluid blue stain in industrial methylated spirits (IMS) and Cobb water absorption, both before and after folding.
