Introduction
The twenty-first century is a time when information has become the foundation on which all spheres of human life rest. Therefore, every person must be sure that the information he has is reliable and will not bring him or those around him spiritual or physical harm. Streams of information reach us from everywhere, but the main source is the media. And often even an educated and experienced person cannot determine whether they are trying to deceive us by using advertising tricks or are just slightly exaggerating the merits of the goods or services offered. Advertising has become an integral part of our lives. Sometimes it really helps to navigate the variety of goods and services, and sometimes it simply promises “miracles.” Thanks to the active advertising policy of manufacturers, today almost every family uses special products for washing dishes. Thus, scientists have calculated that a Russian family of 4 people washes about 5 tons of dirty dishes every year! The first MS appeared more than 5000 years ago in the Middle East. But their role in our lives has not changed until now. MS is currently used to remove various types of contaminants: stains on clothes, rust, dirty dishes, etc.
In their composition, dishwashing detergents are close to shampoos and shower gels. That is, to hygiene products. And they are subject to special safety requirements. All this is good, however, dishwashing detergents are listed as household chemicals. This means that they do not need a hygienic certificate guaranteeing safety. The requirements for toilet bowl cleaners and dishes are the same. Manufacturers can subject their products to safety tests, but voluntarily. Chemists admit: this certificate only guarantees that at the time of use you will not be poisoned or damage the skin of your hands. But what happens over time in the body, which is constantly exposed to detergent residues, has not been studied.
With the constant increase in the number of new chemicals entering circulation, actual problem is to study them in order to obtain information about the potential danger of substances and develop preventive measures to prevent adverse effects on the human body and the environment. Among the complex of environmental factors subject to hygienic control, household chemical products (CHGs) deserve much attention due to their mass production and use, the variety of components included in the formulations, as well as their possible direct effect on the human body. As you know, after use, all chemicals end up in the environment and have a detrimental effect on it, but we don’t think about it. Therefore, we decided to devote our work specifically to household chemicals and, having studied the composition of MS for dishes, determine how safe their use is.
We believe that our work is very relevant today. We cannot do without MS, but their use often harms our world. To understand how to deal with the harm caused to us by MS, we first need to learn more about them than is advertised. We decided to conduct a study at our school to identify the tools that are in greatest demand and to analyze the reasons for the choice of the participants in our study. It’s up to each person to say yes or no to MS, but if you follow certain rules, the health risk will be minimal.
Practical significance The work is that the information obtained from the results of research work can be used to educate the population of the village about the dangers of certain detergents, the negative impact of SMS on human health, and the increased corrosion of metals from which plumbing fixtures are made.
Target works: to study the physical and chemical properties of detergents, to study the effect of detergents on the corrosion of metals from which plumbing fixtures are made.
Tasks :
1. Study the literature on this issue;
2. Identify the brands of dishwashing detergents most commonly used at home;
3. Study the composition and data of dishwashing detergents using their labels.
4. Investigate the physicochemical properties of detergents;
5. Consider the effect of detergents on metal objects (nails).
Object of study : liquid dishwashing detergents.
Subject of study: properties and safety of using dishwashing detergents, metal corrosion.
Hypothesis: if you have complete information about the composition and properties of detergents, thenYou can preserve human health and prevent damage to plumbing fixtures made of iron.
In accordance with the objectives of the study, methods for systematizing theoretical material, research methods and observation methods, and generalizing the accumulated material were used.
Chapter 1. General information about dishwashing detergents
1.1 Dishwashing detergents and their properties
Specialty dishwashing detergents first appeared in the 1950s. Hand dishwashing detergents are available in liquid or gel form. Gel products are considered more effective than liquid products.
The main properties of the product is its cleaning ability. A big plus of the product is its ability to effectively cope with oil and grease stains in cold water, this is achieved through the selection of the optimal surfactant composition.
Another important property of hand dishwashing detergent is its gentle effect on the skin of the hands. It is worth noting that manufacturers' statements that the pH level of their products is 5.5 cannot in any case guarantee the absence of irritation, especially for people prone to allergies. Therefore, your skin needs protection while washing dishes. The product must contain softening components and do not forget that your hands can be protected from the harmful effects of the product using ordinary rubber gloves.
Its composition can tell a lot about a dishwashing detergent.
1.2 Composition dishwashing liquid
The basis of the detergent is surfactants (surfactants). They are the ones who determine its cleaning ability.
Surfactants are divided into two types: ionic and non-ionic (non-ionic).
The fundamental difference is that nonionic surfactants are not subject to electrolytic dissociation, i.e. they do not disintegrate in water into positively and negatively charged ions; Ionic surfactants, when interacting with water, decompose into ions, some of which have adsorption (surface) activity, others (counterions) are adsorption inactive.
Ionic surfactants are called anionic if the surface-active ions carry a negative charge, and cationic if the surface-active ions are positively charged. Some surfactants, depending on the conditions under which they are used, exhibit either anionic or cationic properties, which is why they are called amphoteric or ampholytic. Anionic surfactants are organic acids and their salts. Cationic - bases, usually amines, and their salts. The majority of global surfactant production is anionic.
Synthetic detergents necessarily contain a number of auxiliary substances that improve their cleaning ability. Detergent compositions sometimes include alkaline salts of weak inorganic acids (sodium carbonate and bicarbonate, sodium silicates, phosphates of various compositions), neutral salts (sodium chloride), salts of peroxide acids with bleaching and disinfecting properties (sodium perborate and percarbonates). It is these chemicals that enter into chemical reactions with the metals from which the plumbing fixtures are made; under the influence of these substances, corrosion of the metals occurs. Corrosion causes billions of dollars in losses every year, and resolving this problem is an important task. The main damage caused by corrosion is not the loss of metal as such, but the enormous cost of the products destroyed by corrosion. That is why the annual losses from it in industrialized countries are so great.
An important role is played by the organic components of surfactants: carboxymethylcellulose, which prevents the re-deposition of contaminants from the washing solution onto the washed surface, and the so-called hydrotropes, which increase the solubility and accelerate the dissolution of surfactants in water.
Some detergents contain enzymes that remove insoluble protein contaminants, organic bactericides, and foam stabilizers.
Many detergents add aromatic substances (fragrances) to eliminate unpleasant odors and give the washed surface a fresh aroma. True, the smell of an apple, lemon or, for example, wild berries does not mean the presence of extracts of the above-mentioned fruits in this product.
Also, dishwashing detergents may contain substances that soften the negative effects on the skin of the hands. The most common additives are glycerin, silicone and plant extracts. Glycerin and silicone have a similar effect; they create a protective film on the skin that prevents it from drying out. At the same time, the surface film created by silicone can protect against the penetration of substances harmful to the skin contained in the detergent.
Plant extracts soften the skin, have a calming effect, and relieve irritation that can be caused by individual components of surfactants (for example, aloe vera milk has this effect). But even with all the undoubted advantages of these supplements, it is impossible to guarantee complete safety for your skin.
Chapter 2. Diagnostics of dishwashing detergents
Diagnostics of the use of dishwashing detergents.
In order to find out which of the tools are the most used, we interviewed students, teachers and school staff. 50 people took part in the survey.
Survey data shows that the most popular remedy is "Fairy". It is used by 19 people from the respondents, which is 38%. Next in descending order of popularity are: “AOC” - 11 people, 22%; “Myth” - 7 people, 14%; "SORTI" - 7 people, 14%; “Drop” - 6 people, 12%.
2.2. Composition, properties and features of the use of detergents.
To study the composition, properties, and features of the use of dishwashing detergents, the labels of the products indicated during the user survey were studied. As a rule, no one reads dishwashing instructions, but this does not relieve the manufacturer from the need to put this information on the label.
The study data are shown in Table 1.

6. Precautions
In case of contact with eyes, rinse with water
Keep away from children
Protect from sunlight. Keep away from heating devices. Keep away from children. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with water.
Keep away from children, avoid contact with eyes.
These tables allow you to do the following: conclusions:
With the same volume of detergent, the price of the products is not the same.
More expensive products include “Fairy”, “AOC”, cheaper products are “Myth”, “SORTI” and “Kaplya”.
The shelf life of all products is almost the same.
The main component of MS are surfactants.
In addition to surfactants, detergents contain dyes, preservatives, and perfume compositions, but the labeling of these substances is not indicated, which does not allow us to draw a conclusion about their safety for humans.
The packages do not indicate the exact amount of product required for use. It just says “apply a small amount to a sponge or on dishes” or “drop a few drops...”.
Almost all means, except "Fairy» contain the warning: “Keep away from children” and describe what to do if the product gets into your eyes.
Much attention is paid to advertising data on the MS label: manufacturers indicate that all products effectively remove fat not only in hot but also in cold water, and are easily washed off with water without leaving streaks. On the product label "Fairy» it is indicated that it complies with the Russian standard for washability from dishes.
2.3. Physico-chemical properties of dishwashing detergents.
Experiment 1: Study of the pH of the solution.
One of the requirements for the use of dishwashing detergents is that they must have a neutral or slightly acidic pH value of the solution (pH = 5.5-7).
To determine the pH of the solution, we took a 0.1% solution of each product and examined it using a device for determining the pH of solutions. The results of the experiment are shown in Table 2. Conclusion: All products are pH neutral.

Experience 2 : Phosphate content in dishwashing detergents .
The presence of phosphate additives in detergents leads to a significant increase in the toxic properties of surfactants. They penetrate the microvessels of the skin, are absorbed into the blood and spread throughout the body. This leads to changes in the physicochemical properties of the blood itself and impaired immunity.
A 0.1% solution of each product was tested with silver nitrate. There was no yellow or white precipitate in the tubes. A yellow precipitate indicates the presence of phosphate ions (Ag 3 PO 4) in the samples, a white precipitate indicates the presence of chloride ions (AgCl) in the samples. The results of the experiment are shown in Table 2.
Conclusion: No phosphate additives were found in detergents.
2.4. The influence of dishwashing detergent solutions on processes
corrosion of iron objects.
When disposed of, used dishwashing detergent solutions come into direct contact with metal sewer pipes, and when washed with metal utensils.
For the study, a 0.1% solution of each detergent was prepared and an 80 mm long iron nail was lowered into each. The experiment was carried out at room temperature. Tap water was used as a control sample. The experiment was carried out with three repetitions.
On the first day, rust appeared on the nails in the following products: “AOS", "a drop SORTI" On the second day, a coating of rust appeared in a test tube with tap water and on a nail dipped in “Fairy» . In the “MYTH” product, rust appeared in a test tube on the third day, while the nail remained clean. In the following days, the rust coating on the nails increased, and most quickly in the media: “Fairy", "JSC S", "a drop SORTI" Rust was deposited at the bottom of the test tubes - a brown sediment. By the end of the observation, the height of the sediment was different in the test tubes: “AOS" - 10mm, " Fairy"-7mm, "drop SORTI"- 9mm, "MYTH" - 4mm, "Drop" - 9mm, water - 3mm.
Conclusion: All studied solutions of dishwashing detergents contribute to increased corrosion of iron objects, and therefore have a negative effect on sewer pipes and metal utensils.
Final part
Conclusions:
The most popular products among the population are: “Fairy”,
« A.O.S."
Detergent labels contain a large amount of advertising promises,
but not complete information about the composition and labeling of ingredients, and about the method of use.
All products are highly soluble in water.
4. All products are pH neutral.
5. The products do not contain harmful phosphate additives.
6. All tested solutions of dishwashing detergents contribute to increased corrosion of iron objects, and therefore have a negative effect on sewer pipes and metal utensils.
We would like to advise you to be more responsible when choosing detergents and not to let advertisements deceive you. Do not forget that our children and grandchildren will live on this planet, and we must take care of their future and health. We should also not forget that our environment suffers from the use of some detergents. We also want to advise you to be careful when handling detergents and not to forget that they contain components that can cause rashes, chemical burns, irritation and allergies. Always read the safety precautions on the back of the package and keep cleaning products away from children.
We are aware that human consumption of detergents cannot be stopped, or even reduced. Moreover, with the increase in the population of our planet, the quantity and variety of detergents inevitably increases, which have a detrimental effect not only on humans, but also on the environment.
We hope that progress will lead to the invention of safer detergents that will be able to completely dissolve in water without forming harmful chemical compounds. The information obtained during research work can be used when teaching a school course in chemistry, biology, ecology, during class hours, during conversations with students and parents, and in elective classes in chemistry and ecology.

Introduction
Why was the topic chosen for the work “Paper and its properties”? I have long wanted to know what paper is? How does it appear and from what materials? What properties does it have?
We all, to one degree or another, deal with paper on a daily basis.
products from it. Our communication with paper begins in early childhood. Paper accompanies us throughout our lives. It reminds us of itself every time we refer to documents - a passport, diploma, certificate, when we pick up a book, or remove correspondence from a mailbox. Many of our actions are related to paper.
Paper had many predecessors. Stone and clay, wood and bone,
leather and birch bark, wax and metal, papyrus and parchment - they are all different
historical eras served people as writing materials. But
each of them was not entirely suitable for this. Some materials were
heavy, others - fragile, others - expensive. Their processing
required a lot of effort, which, however, was not always justified.
And then paper appeared - a simple material accessible for writing,
prepared from raw materials of plant origin. The birth of paper
brought about profound changes in human society. Having received the paper, people
began to actively engage in knowledge.
2. Paper and its properties.
2.1. History of paper
The origin of paper was due to the advent of writing - after all, in addition to the invention of the alphabet and grammar, it was necessary to write on something. However, the paper did not appear immediately. The history of paper began with the fact that in ancient Egypt about 3.5 thousand years ago they began to make papyrus (Appendix 1).
The main material for making papyrus was triangular reed stems that reached 5 meters in height. To prepare papyrus, only the lower part of the stem, about 60 centimeters long, was used. It was freed from the outer green layer, and the white core was removed and cut into thin strips with a knife. After this, the resulting strips were kept in fresh water for 2-3 days to swell and remove soluble substances. Next, the softened strips were rolled over a board with a wooden rolling pin and placed in water for a day, rolled again and placed in water again (Appendix 2).
As a result of these operations, the strips acquired a creamy tint and became translucent. Next, the strips were laid on top of each other, dehydrated under a press, dried and smoothed with a stone.
The technology of the first paper was quite complex, and therefore papyri were expensive. In addition, they were not very durable and required careful handling.
Despite this, until the 5th century, papyrus remained the main material for writing, and only in the 10th century was it almost completely abandoned.
It is also believed that there is a Baoqiao cave in the northern province of Shaanxi, China. In 1957, a tomb was discovered in it, where scraps of sheets of paper were found. The paper was examined and found that it was made in the 2nd century BC.
This discovery shed light on the history of paper. It was believed. That paper appeared in China in the year 105 of the new calendar. Baoqiang
the find pushes this date forward by two centuries. It is possible, therefore,
assume that paper appeared more than 2 thousand years ago.
The raw materials for paper in China were silk scraps and cocoon waste.
silkworms, scraps of old nets. They were soaked and manually rubbed between
stones. The pulp obtained in this way was poured onto some smooth surface and pressed with another polished stone. The gruel was allowed to sit, dry, and turn into a flat cake like felt.
At the turn of the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, paper made from
plant fibers, was not considered a rare material in China. In the 3rd century
it completely replaced the wooden signs used
for writing. The paper was made of a certain format, color, weight,
impregnated with special substances that repel harmful insects.
Chinese paper was stored for a very long time.
For many centuries, the Chinese alone owned the secrets of paper making, jealously guarding the secrets of the craft.
It is believed that the Russian word paper comes from the Tatar word “bumug”, which means cotton. It is likely that the first widespread acquaintance of the people of Rus' with paper occurred in the middle of the 13th century, when Batu Khan, to collect tribute, carried out the first national census of the population of Rus' on paper, which at that time was used in Northern China conquered by the Mongol-Tatars, as well as in Turkestan and Persia, with whom they had trade relations.
But in Russia they started making paper much later. There is information that self-produced paper appeared in Russia in the mid-16th century under Ivan the Terrible. Peter the Great gave a powerful impetus to the development of paper production in Russia. Its transformations, such as the replacement of the complex Old Church Slavonic alphabet with a simpler one, similar to the Latin one, the publication in 1703 of the first Russian newspaper and a large number of books on various issues of science and technology, required a lot of paper. To encourage paper production in Russia, he banned the use of foreign paper in offices. By decree of Peter, several paper factories were built near Moscow and St. Petersburg.The first paper mills appeared in the 17th century. A technical revolution in paper production in Russia was made by a paper-making machine, which began operating in 1816 in St. Petersburg. In 1916, 55 pulp and paper enterprises were already operating in Russia.
2.2 How is paper made these days?
Today, paper is mass produced in special paper mills (Appendix 3).
The main raw material for paper production is ordinary wood pulp. It is obtained from forest trees, for example, pine, spruce, birch. You can also use poplar, chestnut, eucalyptus and other trees.
At the factory, machines strip the bark from the trees and crush them into chips. The most economical method of producing cellulose is mechanical. At a specialized woodworking enterprise, prepared timber is crushed to crumbs, then mixed with water. The paper produced in this way is fragile and is used in large quantities for the production of newspapers.
Much higher quality paper is made from cellulose, which is obtained chemically. Wood pulp is used in this way to make paper for brochures, books, fashion magazines, as well as wrapping materials. In this option, chips are sorted by size on sieves and then sent for cooking. The wood is boiled with the addition of acid in special machines. Well-boiled wood is filtered and washed to remove impurities.
You can add waste paper to the processed mass, but only after removing the ink.
The recycling machine changes the structure and shape of the paper fibers. Additional substances are added to paper raw materials: adhesives and resins. The adhesives present in writing paper repel moisture. Thanks to the resins, the ink on the paper does not spread when writing, and the inscriptions can be easily recognized by the human eye. The paper is then colored in a mixer where pigments or dyes are added. Additions of kaolin will make the paper opaque and white.
The paper pulp in the form of a slurry goes into a special paper-making machine. The slurry is poured onto the car net. The mesh is stretched over the rollers and rotates, carrying the paper pulp forward. At this mesh section, the process of formation of the paper web, called sheet forming, already begins. This happens by removing water from the material. As the paper pulp moves further along such a conveyor belt, water continues to flow out through the mesh holes, the paper fibers intertwine with each other, forming a roll belt (Appendix 4).
The still rather damp paper strip moves through a series of rollers. The rollers squeeze out the water, dry the tape, and polish it. The web then goes into the wet pressing section. The canvas is dewatered and compacted mechanically. Ultimately, the white tape coming out of the machine is wound into a huge roll. The rolls are cut into sheets or sent to printing houses.
We must remember that it takes about 17 trees to produce 1 ton of paper. Protect the environment!
2.3. Types of paper
There are many types of paper, more than 5,000 types, each of which has its own scope of application.
Paper (from Italian bambagia - cotton) is a multicomponent material consisting mainly of specially processed small plant fibers, closely intertwined, bound by various types of adhesive forces and forming a thin sheet. There are several types of paper that differ from each other in weight, density, strength, smoothness, whiteness, shade, degree of opacity, thickness, porosity and, of course, cost.
Papercan be thin or thick, afraid or not afraid of water. In the latter case, it is called waterproof. Obviously, different types of paper are originally intended for different purposes and are used in different ways. For example, there is no point in trying to paint a picture with paints on waterproof paper, since they will wash off after the first contact with a wet surface. Ordinary paper is not very suitable for making dishes or a model of a boat that is planned to be launched on the water. Any paper should be used in accordance with its properties and purpose. However, first you need to know as much as possible aboutfeatures of different types of paper.Waterproof paper
:
Such paper contains a much larger amount of binding agent, i.e. glue, than other types of paper. It is the glue, which is an essential component of any type of paper, that determines the parameters of its resistance to moisture. The less glue, the faster the paper gets wet and falls apart into individual fibers.
Waterproof paper is rarely used for applique paintings and silhouette cutouts, but it is indispensable for creating blurry landscapes and abstract paintings done on a damp surface.
writing paper
:
It is known as a material for office equipment and has a number of advantages that significantly distinguish it from other types of paper. Firstly, it is not capricious at all, folds perfectly and holds any shape given to it. Secondly, it is relatively resistant to water and does not immediately get wet and fall apart. Thirdly, its value is determined by the purity of color and smoothness of the surface. As a rule, the top layer of writing paper, which is protective, is coated with kaolin. Some types of writing paper are less transparent due to the polymer coating on both sides. This allows the material to remain clean longer and not gather dust. When working on paintings, writing paper is mainly used for sketches.Writing paper is most often white in color and contains pure cellulose, some wood pulp, and also cellulose obtained from cotton production. The weight of writing paper is 45-80 g/m 2
, it is glued, machine smooth, and calendered. Writing paper can be considered one of the most common and used in everyday life.
Coated paper
:
This is one of the types of writing paper. Coated paper (chalk) can be coated with a wide variety of substances, such as kaolin, calcium carbonate, and other clay-like minerals. The most common types of chalk usually have a glossy or matte finish.There are several types of coated paper, for example, one or two times coated. One of them is thin coated paper with a paper weight of 60-70 g/m 2
. Used for printing literature containing both pictures and text. Printing method: offset, letterpress or intaglio printing. Coated paper has a pigmented adhesive top layer that is applied to paper containing cellulose or wood pulp (the basis for the porous and rough surface of the paper).
Newsprint
:
Old newspapers can be used to create various crafts, and not only as a draft, in the margins of which sketches are made. Some artists, in search of new means of expression, turn their attention to newspapers and, cutting out letters from them, use the appliqué method to create works of incredible beauty and originality.Characteristics of newsprint - weight 45-49 g/m 2
, not glued, has a machine smoothness, contains wood pulp (the main component), and also has a low ash content. Printing method: offset. Used for printing newspaper products
Wrapping or packing paper
:
Despite the gloss, this bright and colorful paper is quite durable and difficult to tear by hand. Due to the variety of colors and good adhesion, these types of paper are excellent for creating applique paintings, and embossed and marbled papers are an excellent background for applique work.
Wallpaper paper
:
There are smooth, patterned and embossed wallpaper paper. Both are indispensable when creating paintings, especially three-dimensional ones made using the appliqué method.
Printing paper
:
For printing, printing houses use paper made from wood pulp; sometimes they use paper based on wood pulp. Characteristics of printing paper: white, lightly glued, has medium or high ash content, smooth, calendered, also highly calendered. Weight is 50-70 g/m 2
. Purpose – printing products containing text and illustrations. Paper having the following characteristics – area 40-50 g/m 2
, containing cellulose, calendered, transparent, used for printing literature containing primarily text, for example, reference books.
Includes music and synthetic papers used for magazines and covers. Such paper usually has a smooth surface, is resistant to moisture and can be painted in any bright color. Work made from printing paper can always be dried without fear of its surface becoming deformed.
Tracing paper
:
When creating some crafts, you simply cannot do without transparent and translucent tracing paper, as it helps to transfer the selected design to any surface, thereby making the work easier.
As a rule, tracing paper is impregnated with wax or special oil, so its color is rarely white and the fiber structure is clearly visible on the surface. This feature of paper can be used to create applique paintings, the characters of which are insects with translucent wings. The background will be visible through a wing cut from such paper, which will make the work even more interesting and unique.
Cardboard
:
This dense and thick material, made from cellulose with coarse fibers, is indispensable as a base for many works. In addition, frames for paintings and photos can be made from it. The main thing is to choose the right type of cardboard: single-layer or multi-layer, packaging or printing. In addition, you should always remember that a sheet of cardboard is bent only once, and if the fold is made unevenly, nothing can be corrected.
Stamping paper
:
Its other name is drawing paper. Due to its high quality, it can be used not only for drawings, but also for many other “paper” works.
2.3.10. Sanitary paper
:
This type includes toilet paper, tissue paper and towel paper. This paper is often used to create funny greeting cards. However, a little imagination - and you will find use for it when working on various crafts.
Offset paper: For offset printing, paper weighing 60-250 g/m is used. 2 . Characteristics of offset paper – high cellulose (wood pulp) content, white color, sized, resistance to mechanical damage (reduced hygroscopicity), machine smooth, calendered. Used for printing books with both illustrations and text.
Whatmanskaya (Whatman paper): Refers to white bond paper. First of all, it is intended for drawings made with a pencil or other means, for example, ink, paint, ink, etc. Whatman paper is characterized by its rough, non-smooth surface. This is handmade paper, which is based on the use of already used rag pulp, with whatman paper glued on top.
Bond paper: Used for the production of banknotes, bonds, lottery tickets, passports, bank checks, postage stamps, card documents, etc. This paper is also widely used, as it is used for printing banknotes, various checks (including bank ones) , bonds, shares and some other official documents. Document paper is based on flax and cotton fibers. The characteristics of this paper are low ash content, long service life, highly glued, and practically not subject to mechanical stress.
Money paper : used in the production process . For the manufacture of Special high-grade paper is used, which has high technical and consumer properties. She is the basis and largely determines its quality. The most important requirement for money paper is wear resistance. It is considered to be the main indicator characterizing wear resistance, fracture and tear resistance, which are standardized by technical specifications. Of particular importance for money paper are , which are important protection against counterfeiting.
Paper properties
All fibrous materials of various origins known to
today, can serve as a semi-finished product for the production of paper and
cardboard However, the bulk of fibrous semi-finished paper products
cardboard production consists of plant fibers: wood fibers
in the form of various wood pulp, cellulose and semi-cellulose; fibers
waste paper in the form of waste paper; reed and straw fibers in the form
cane and straw pulp and semi-cellulose; rag fibers in the form
rag half mass.
To impart some special properties to paper and
cardboard has also been used by animals (wool), mineral
(asbestos, basalt, glass) and synthetic (lavsan, nitron,
nylon, polyvinyl, polyethylene, polyester, etc.) fibers.
Among the main indicators characterizing the properties of various
types of paper include:
thickness, or volumetric mass;
ash content; degree
sizing;
smoothness;
white;
transparency;
resistance to tearing, breaking,
pushing,
tearing;
elongation to break;
surface strength;
wet strength;
deformation when wet;
curlability;
absorbency;
breathability;
electrical strength indicators.
3.1. Structural and geometric properties
Mass or weight
Weight (or weight) is the most common indicator, since most papers are sold by weight of 1 m 2
. The mass of paper is more often referred to as a unit of area than as a unit of volume - after all, paper is used in the form of a sheet and area in this case plays a more important role than volume. According to the accepted classification, the mass is 1 m 2
printed paper can be from 40 to 250 g. Papers with a weight above 250 g/m 2
refer to cardboards.
Thickness
The thickness of the paper, measured in microns (µm), determines both the passability of the paper in the printing machine and the consumer properties - primarily strength - of the finished product.
Smoothness
Smoothness characterizes the condition of the paper's surface, caused by mechanical finishing, and determines the appearance of the paper - rough paper, as a rule, is unattractive in appearance. Smoothness is important for writing papers, for printing papers, and also when gluing paper.
Pigmentation and coating The papers differ only in the amount of coating applied. The chalk layer is characterized by a high degree of whiteness and smoothness. For coated papers, high smoothness is one of the most important characteristics.
The opposite quantity to smoothness isroughness , which is measured in microns (µm). It directly characterizes the microrelief of the paper surface. The technical specifications of paper must contain one of these two values.
Bulk
An important geometric property of paper is plumpness. It characterizes the degree of compaction of the paper and is very closely related to such an optical characteristic as opacity: that is, the plumper the paper, the more opaque it is at the same grammage.
Clearance
The lumen of paper characterizes the degree of homogeneity of its structure, that is, the degree of uniform distribution of fibers in it. The lumen of the paper is judged by observation in transmitted light.
Porosity
Porosity directly affects the absorbency of paper, that is, its ability to accept printing ink, and may well serve as a characteristic of the structure of the paper. Paper is a porous capillary material;
Mechanical properties
Mechanical strength
Mechanical strength is one of the main and most important properties of most types of paper and cardboard. Standards for printed types of paper provide for certain requirements for mechanical tensile strength. These requirements are determined by the possibility of producing printed types of paper without breaks on modern high-speed machines, followed by passing it through high-speed rewinders and then using it on printing machines.
Fracture resistance
The fracture resistance indicator is also one of the significant indicators characterizing the mechanical strength of paper. It depends on the length of the fibers from which the paper is formed, on their strength, flexibility and on the bonding forces between the fibers. Therefore, paper consisting of long, strong, flexible and tightly interconnected fibers has the highest fracture resistance.
Extensibility
The elongation of paper before breaking, or its extensibility, characterizes, as you might guess, the ability of paper to stretch. This property is especially important for packaging paper, sack paper and cardboard, for the production of stamped products (paper cups), for the base of waxed paper used for automatic wrapping of candies (the so-called caramel paper).
Softness
The softness of paper is related to its structure, that is, its density and porosity. For letterpress printing, it is important that these deformations are completely reversible, that is, that after removing the load, the paper completely restores its original shape. Otherwise, traces of reverse relief are visible on the print, indicating that serious changes have occurred in the structure of the paper.
Linear deformation when moistened
The increase in the dimensions of a moistened sheet of paper in its width and length, expressed as a percentage relative to the original dimensions of the dry sheet, is called linear deformation upon moistening. The values of paper deformation when wet and residual deformation are important indicators for many types of paper (for offset, chart, cartographic, for photo substrate, for paper with watermarks).
Optical properties
Optical brightness
Optical brightness is the ability of paper to reflect light diffusely and evenly in all directions. High optical brightness for printed papers is highly desirable, since the clarity and readability of the publication depends on the contrast of the printed and white areas of the print.
White
The true whiteness of paper is related to its brightness or absolute reflectivity, that is, its visual efficiency. Whiteness is based on measuring the reflection of light from white or off-white papers of the same wavelength.
Yellowing
Yellowing of paper is a term that conventionally refers to the decrease in its whiteness from exposure to light rays or elevated temperatures. Paper can be protected from light damage by storing it in a room without windows or with windows covered with thick curtains.
Light-opacity, or opacity
Light resistance is the ability of paper to transmit light rays. The opacity of paper is determined by the total amount of light transmitted (scattered and unscattered). Opacity is usually determined by the degree of penetration of the image into the test material placed directly opposite the object in question.
Transparency
Transparency is related in some way to opacity, but differs from it in that it is determined by the amount of light that passes through without scattering.
Gloss or gloss
Gloss (gloss) is a property of paper that expresses the degree of polish, gloss, or the ability of a surface to reflect light falling on it. This indicator can be considered as the property of the paper surface to reflect light at a given angle.
Chemical properties
Wet strength
Wet strength, or wet strength, is another important parameter of most papers, which is especially critical for paper made on fast paper machines, since the smooth operation of the paper machine must be ensured as the paper web passes from one section of the machine to another. The wet strength of paper is judged by the degree to which it retains its original strength in a wet state, that is, by the strength that it had before moistening, being in an air-dry state.
Humidity
The ratio of pulp to water is the most important factor in paper chemistry. The amount of water contained in individual fibers affects their strength, elasticity and paper-forming properties. The moisture content of paper affects its weight, strength, permanence, dimensional stability and electrical properties.
Ash content
The ash content of paper depends mainly on the quantitative content of fillers in its composition. High strength paper should have a low ash content because minerals reduce the strength of the paper.
In paper and cardboard production, the same properties are often
manufactured products can be formed using various methods, therefore in each specific case it is necessary to choose the most simple, economical and
the most convenient method.
