- a filter material is generally produced in a manner known in the relevant art Application of an aqueous suspension of natural fibers and / or synthetic fibers on a paper machine wire.
- the heat-sealable, synthetic Fibers deposited on the first layer and by a subsequent one Drying process melted the synthetic fibers, so that it deals with the natural fibers of the first layer connect.
- the filter material produced according to the invention can be excellent for the production of filters for aqueous hot or cold filtration, filter bags for drinks or flavors, Cooking bags, filters for medical applications and of Use filters to filter emulsions or oils.
- the filter material according to the invention can preferably be used for the production of tea bags.
- Preferred subject Embodiment of the present invention is thus one of the tea bag produced according to the filter material according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a tea bag on the right, whose paper only is equipped hydrophobically and with the infusion upwards floats, with part of the bag not wetted by the water becomes.
- the left teabag whose paper also hydrophilizes is located in the lower part of the vessel and becomes complete wetted. Through the precise setting of an amphiphilic paper property the tea bag made from it can then e.g. are held in the middle of the vessel, where experience has shown that Temperature is very high and the infusion is the fastest.
- Figure 2 shows the course of the color intensity development of the Extract when infusing a tea bag as a function of time.
- Curve 1 shows the course of the color development of a Extract from a tea bag, which is only hydrophobic equipped filter material was manufactured.
- Curve 2 shows the color development of an extract from a tea bag an additional hydrophilized filter material. It is clear the faster color development (curve 2) within about 2 min. observed with the additionally hydrophilized bag.
- a tea bag is placed in a beaker of boiling water poured over and the liquid with a magnetic stirrer constant kept moving.
- the tea is infused by a continuously operating pump through a cell into the spectrophotometer. At a fixed wavelength is then dependent on the Time (X-axis) the spectral absorption of light (Y-axis) of the tea infusion.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Filtermaterial, insbesondere Teebeutel, sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung und Verwendung desselben.The invention relates to a filter material, in particular tea bags, and a method for producing and using the same.
Üblicherweise werden Filterbeutel für die Kalt- und Heißfiltration, z.B. Teebeutel, Kaffeebeutel (siehe auch DE-C-39 02 298), Filterbeutel für Aromen, Gewürze sowie Kochbeutel z.B. für Reis und Gemüse; Filterpapiere für Tee und Kaffee, für die Getränkeindustrie, für medizinische Anwendungen und sowie zur Filtration von Ölen und Emulsionen aus heißsiegelfähigen und nicht heißsiegelfähigen Filtermaterialien hergestellt.Filter bags for cold and hot filtration, e.g. Tea bags, coffee bags (see also DE-C-39 02 298), filter bags for flavors, spices and cooking bags e.g. for rice and vegetables; Filter papers for tea and coffee, for those Beverage industry, for medical applications and as well Filtration of oils and emulsions from heat sealable and filter materials that are not heat-sealable.
Es ist dabei bekannt, daß hydrophile Filterpapiere unmittelbar nach dem Kontakt mit Wasser ein Quellverhalten zeigen, das sich dahingehend auswirkt, daß das Papier stark Feuchtigkeit absorbiert, eine Quellung der Papierfasern einsetzt und sich dadurch die Anzahl der Öffnungen zwischen den Fasern und die Größe der Öffnungen ändert.It is known that hydrophilic filter papers immediately show a swelling behavior after contact with water that changes affects that the paper absorbs moisture heavily, swelling of the paper fibers begins and itself thereby the number of openings between the fibers and the Size of the openings changes.
Das äußert sich bei einem Teebeutel, der z.B. mit stark ausgasenden Kräutern, Heilpflanzen oder Tee gefüllt ist, darin, daß er aufgrund des entstehenden Gasdruckes beim Übergießen mit heißem Wasser sogar aufplatzen kann.This manifests itself in a tea bag that e.g. with strong outgassing herbs, medicinal plants or tea is filled in that due to the resulting gas pressure when pouring over hot water can even burst.
Darüber hinaus kann bei Verwendung eines solchen hydrophilen Filtermaterials zur Herstellung eines Tee- oder Kaffeefilters durch das starke hydrophile Verhalten des Filtermaterials die Kontaktzeit des Tees bzw. Kaffees mit dem kochenden Wasser stark vermindert werden. Dadurch lassen der Geschmack des Tees bzw. des Kaffees sowie die damit verbundene Farbentwicklung zu wünschen.In addition, when using such a hydrophilic Filter material for making a tea or coffee filter due to the strong hydrophilic behavior of the filter material Contact time of the tea or coffee with the boiling water be greatly reduced. This leaves the taste of the tea or the coffee and the associated color development to wish.
Zur Lösung dieses Problems schlägt beispielsweise die DE 19 51 360.0 A1 die Verwendung von Papieren mit großer Porenweite vor.DE 19 51, for example, proposes to solve this problem 360.0 A1 the use of papers with a large pore size.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit, die Feuchtigkeitsaufnahme der Papierfasern zu verhindern, besteht darin, sie u.a. mit einer Latex-Dispersion zu hydrophobieren, so wie es in der EP 0 632 163 A1 vorgeschlagen wurde, wodurch die Wasseraufnahmefähigkeit praktisch Null wird.Another way to absorb moisture Preventing paper fibers is, among other things, with a To make latex dispersion hydrophobic, as is described in EP 0 632 163 A1 has been proposed, increasing water absorption becomes practically zero.
Ein Nachteil dieser Hydrophobierung besteht jedoch darin, daß die wasserabstoßende Fasereigenschaft bei einer Auslaugung eines daraus gefertigten Teebeutels eine wesentlich größere Zeit in Anspruch nimmt, als bei einem unbehandelten herkömmlichen Beutel.A disadvantage of this hydrophobization is, however, that the water-repellent fiber property during leaching a teabag made from it a much larger one Takes time than an untreated one conventional pouch.
Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, daß so ein Teebeutel, der wegen der Hydrophobierung des Papiers nur schwer benetzt wird, direkt nach dem Aufguß mit heißem Wasser die Tendenz zeigt, so schnell wie möglich zur Wasseroberfläche aufzuschwimmen. Dort ist erfahrungsgemäß die Wassertemperatur geringer als in der Gefäßmitte und im unteren Teil des Gefäßes. Außerdem wird dadurch auch nur ein Teil des Beutels vom Wasser umschlossen, so daß die Auslaugung des Inhaltes verlangsamt wird.Another disadvantage is that such a tea bag, the is difficult to wet because of the hydrophobicity of the paper, immediately after the infusion with hot water shows the tendency so to swim to the water surface as quickly as possible. There experience shows that the water temperature is lower than in the Middle of the vessel and in the lower part of the vessel. Besides, will thereby enclosing only part of the bag with the water, so that the leaching of the content is slowed down.
Ein Tee- oder Kaffeefilter, der aus einem derartigen, hydrophobierten Filtermaterial hergestellt ist, kann die Filtrierzeit des Wassers im Filter so weit erhöhen, daß bei einem maschinellen Aufguß die Gefahr besteht, daß der Filter überläuft.A tea or coffee filter made from such a is made hydrophobic filter material, the Increase the filtering time of the water in the filter so far that a machine infusion there is a risk that the filter overflows.

Extraktes aus einem Teebeutel, der aus einem nur hydrophob
ausgerüsteten Filtermaterial gefertigt wurde. Die Kurve 2 zeigt
die Farbentwicklung eines Extraktes aus einem Teebeutel aus
einem zusätzlich hydrophilierten Filtermaterial. Deutlich ist
die schnellere Farbentwicklung (Kurve 2) innerhalb etwa 2 min.
beim zusätzlich hydrophilierten Beutel zu beobachten.Curve 1 shows the course of the color development of a
Extract from a tea bag, which is only hydrophobic
equipped filter material was manufactured.
