In the preparation method of the functionalized paper core wire, after paper materials are cut, the paper materials are soaked by water (such as tap water), the soaked paper materials are placed (preferably placed in a semi-sealed mode) for 8 to 30 hours, preferably about 24 hours, and then the preparation of a paper core wire sample is started. The impregnation can be carried out before or after rewinding into narrow rolls. The inventor unexpectedly discovers that due to the infiltration effect, the softness of the paper can be increased, the paper has a certain lubricating effect, the paper can more easily pass through the shrinkage cavity of the forming equipment to reach the ideal diameter of the paper core wire, and simultaneously, the weak adhesion effect of water enables the paper to be difficult to untwist after the paper is made into the core wire. In the prior art, the impregnation step is not included because the functionalized paper is generally considered to be softer and further impregnation may result in loss of the functionalized material. The inventors have found that, because the paper material has a good retention effect on the functionalized substance, for example, the paper material has a large specific surface area and a loose internal structure, the functionalized substance has a strong adhesion force and is uniformly distributed on the paper material, the functionalized substance is not easy to run off, and in addition, the paper material is not easy to unwind after being made into a wire due to the weak adhesion effect of water, which was not expected in advance.
The inventor finds that if 0.05-5.0 wt%, preferably 0.1 wt%, of the wetting assistant represented by the following formula (I) is added to the water, a better anti-uncoiling effect can be achieved, and the loss of the functionalized material can be more effectively prevented:
RO-(EO)a-(PO)b-H formula (I)
In formula (1), R is a 3, 5-dimethylhexyl group, EO is an oxyethylene group, PO is an oxypropylene group, a and b are moles, a is 3 to 15, b is 2 to 5, and a/b is 0.6 to 3.0.
The use of the infiltration auxiliary agent can effectively shorten the infiltration time, reduce the loss of functional materials, improve the production efficiency, and simultaneously effectively reduce the surface tension of paper materials, so that the twisting is easier. Further research also finds that the wetting auxiliary agent can generate a certain cross-linking-similar combination effect with paper fibers, and can further improve the anti-uncoiling capability of paper after being made into a core wire.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: compared with a fiber core wire, the functional paper core wire for the filter stick has the advantages that:
(1) the stability of the machine is good: compared with the method that 2-10 joints are generated in each ingot in the production process of the fiber type core wire, the paper wire is not connected after being formed, the breaking strength of the twisted paper wire is increased, the phenomenon of wire breakage of the fiber type core wire can be avoided in the forming process of the filter rod, and the stability of the on-machine is ensured.
(2) The safety is high: the fiber core wire is made of cotton fiber or polyester fiber, and due to the problems of low tinting strength, uneven dyeing and the like, dyes are often selected for dyeing, and most dyes do not have good safety performance. The coloring agent used by the paper thread is edible natural pigment and synthetic pigment, and the paper material has large specific surface area and loose internal structure, so that the pigment has strong coloring power and uniform dyeing on the paper material, and has good safety performance.
(3) The functional realization is good: the traditional fiber core wire is functionalized after being twisted, and because the used material has a compact internal structure, a small specific surface area and a small load capacity, the functionalization can not be well reflected. The paper material is loose in internal structure and large in specific surface area, and the functionalized raw material is easy to load on the surface of the paper material, so that the loading capacity of the paper material can be effectively improved.
(4) The functional timeliness is improved: the traditional fiber core wire is functionally loaded in a soaking mode, and functional substances are mainly attached to the surface of the fiber, so that the active ingredients are easily lost. The paper wire wraps the functional substance inside the wire in a twisting mode, so that the main components of the paper wire can be effectively reserved, and the functional timeliness is prolonged.
(5) The production efficiency is high: compared with the step-by-step process of cabling, dyeing, dewatering, functional treatment, air drying and forming in the production of fiber core wires, the dyeing, the functional treatment and the drying of the paper wires can be carried out simultaneously, and the production efficiency of the paper wires can be effectively improved.
(6) High innovativeness. During papermaking, the harm reducing filler and the paper pulp can be simultaneously made, and compared with forms such as fiber core wire group grafting, the harm reducing filler and the paper pulp widen the realization path of core wire harm reduction. In addition, the paper core wire is used as a carrier of the slow-release fragrance-carrying material, cannot be copied by the fiber core wire, and provides a new technical direction for the functional development of the core wire.
(7) The paper core wire is a core wire with the diameter of 0.1-3mm which is formed by twisting narrow paper, the paper material consumption is small, the essence substances can play a role in inhibiting miscellaneous gas, the paper miscellaneous gas is not found through evaluation, in addition, the twisted paper core wire is compact relative to the inner core of the paper filter stick, the phenomenon of collapse cannot occur, and the pressure drop stability of the paper core wire filter stick is easy to control.
