STONE PAPER (Fiberstone)Prepared by: Arminder Singh Sethi Project Coordinator

What is FiberStone® Natural Stone Paper?FiberStone® Natural Stone Paper, which is also known as stone paper or rock paper, is made from 80% Calcium Carbonate (CaCO) with a small quantity (20%) of non-toxic resin (HDPE- High Density Polyethylene).

The Calcium Carbonate in our stone paper comes from limestone collected as waste material from existing quarries for the building and construction industry. It is ground up down to a fine powder like chalk and the HDPE acts as a binder for the Calcium Carbonate.

Together these materials create a tough, durable paper that is both water and tear resistant!

Imagine, a soft, smooth, bright white paper that performs like a film but without all the petroleum!FiberStone Paper can also be recycled in the building & construction industry, waste treatment, steel manufacturing, farming, and glass making.Can FiberStone® Paper be used as a substitute for virgin or recycled paper? What about film?Yes! Stone paper can be used to substitute traditional papers used in the printing industry, such as Synthetic Paper & Film (Yupo, primax, tyvek, etc…), Premium Coated Paper, Recycled Paper, and PVC Sheet. Being impervious to water it can also be very useful for outdoor applications.FiberStone® stone paper is photodegradable after a period of about 14-18 months!Can FiberStone® Natural Stone Paper be recycled?

How doesFiberStone® Natural Stone Paper Compare to Virgin and Recycled Paper?Are FiberStone® labels durable?• Water Proof, Grease Proof, Tear Resistant• Weather Resistant• An alternative to synthetic papers such as Yupo, Tyvek and polypropylene films• A great grease barrier• A great outdoors product

Compositions of Surface Modified Nanoparticles. Inventors: Isaac Keene IVERSION, Columbia & Martin August RUDAT, Woodstock, GA (US). Inventors

THE INVENTION RELATES TO COMPOSITIONS OF SURFACE MODIFIED NANOPARTICLES which are effective in treating soft and hard substrates to impart useful properties, including resistance to water and oil. The invention also relates to the aqueous dispersions of the surface modified nanoparticles, process of making the composition and articles made with the composition. FIELD

Many different compositions used in varying degrees of success, to treat surfaces, fabrics and fibers. However volatile organic compounds are to be avoided. Excessive amount of surfactants are also undesirable. Fluorochemical resin emulsions have been used to create low soiling soft surfaces. However these materials are expensive and are environmentally persistent. Background

BriefingA need exists for an improved composition for treating soft and hard substrates to impart softness and/or hydrophobic behavior, including soil and oil resistance. An improved surface modified fluoroalkylatednanoparticle is desired, wherein the fluoroalkyl groups are presented to the surface of the nanoparticle to create a useful hydrophobic effect and wherein both surfactants and volatile organic solvents are substantially absent from the composition to be applied to the substrate. The composition comprises: an aqueous dispersion of fluoroalkylsilyl surface modified nanoparticles, wherein the nanoparticles comprise at least one member selected from the group consisting of silica, titania, zirconia, layered magnesium silicate, aluminosilicate, natural clay, synthetic clay and mixtures thereof, and wherein the fluoroalkylsilyl is: (F(CF 2 ) n CH 2 CH 2 ) m Si(O—) p , where n is 2, 3 or 4, p is 1, 2 or 3, and m is (4−p) The composition can further comprise an additional component moiety bonded to the surface of the nanoparticle having the formula: [H(CH 2 ) m ] n Si—(O—) p , where M is an integer between 1 and 12, p is 1, 2, or 3, and n is 4−p. The additional component can be methylsilyl. Further, articles comprising the fluoroalkylsilyl surface modified nanoparticle are disclosed. The article can include fabrics, carpets, & paper. The article exhibits improved resistance to soil deposition, and both water and oil repellency.

Definitions – Used Terms

An aqueous dispersion: means a colloidal dispersion, which is a system of finely divided particles of small size, such as nanoparticles, which are uniformly dispersed in a manner such that they are not easily filtered or gravitationally separated. An aqueous micro dispersion : is defined as a dispersion of particles predominately having at least one dimension that is less than about 100 nm in extent. OWF: is weight per weight of fiber. WPU (wet pick up) :is the fraction of the weight of fabric added in liquid form in treating a fibrous substrate (w/w). For carpet, the weight of fabric is considered the carpet fiber face weight.

Manufacturing Process – Fluoroalkylsilyl Surface Modified Nanoparticle

The fluoroalkylsilyl surface modified nanoparticles can be formed at a concentration in the range of from about 0.01% to about 50% by weight of the total composition.

Manufacturing Process – Fluoroalkylsilyl Surface Modified Nanoparticle – CONTD..

The fluoroalkyl moiety of the alkylsilane reactant can be a perfluoroalkane of two to four carbons in length. Extended perfluoroalkane chains can be used to achieve greater degrees of hydrophobicityin treated substrates. FAS reagents having perfluoroalkane chains longer than four carbon atoms (n value greater than 4) are not suitable for making the disclosed aqueous dispersions and that the addition of undesirable levels of solvents or surfactants would be required to stabilize both reactants and product dispersions in the disclosed process.
