The nylon fiber papers manufactured by the paper machine (reported in the Japanese Tappi 12, No.1, 1958) have been finished with nylon derivatives for purpose of increasing the bonding strength between fiber and fiber.
And so on, we have compared physical and chemical properties of the nylon fiber papers with the cellulosic fiber papers.
Those results are the following :
1.As the binder of nylon fiber papers, Type 8 nylon (n-methoxymethylated nylon 6) proved most effective arming many nylon derivatives to improve the strength of sheet, and its optimum binder content was about 15 %.
2.Its strength was increased more than two times by heating under elevated pressures.The optimum curing condition were obtained by the following treatments : heating 170-180°C for 15-20 see., linear nip pressure 5-6 kg/em by three hot rollers.
3.The nylon fiber papers manufactured by this method had high porosity and high folding endurance (more than 100, 000 folds).Compared with cellulosic fiber papers, it had remarkably higher elastic recovery, bending elasticity and resistance of acid, alkali and bacteria, but it was a little worse in point of light (specially, to the ultraviolet-ray) and thermal resistance.It decreased in tensile strength but it was less remarkable for retrioration than the cellulosic fiber papers.
