ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A calcium carbonate, especially a natural calcium carbonate, is disclosed, which contains 50 to 70% by weight of par-ticles smaller than 1 micron, less than 10 percent of par-ticles smaller than 0.2 microns, and a BET specific surface area of less than 10 m2/g. This calcium carbonate can be used especially as a high-solids coating pigment for gravure printing.

Description
CALCIUM CARBONATE, ESPECIALLY NATURAL CALCIUM CARBONATE
Background of the Invention The invention xelates to calcium carbonates, especially natural calcium carbonates, methods for the preparation thereof, and their preferential use as coating pigments on gravure printing papers.
Coated papers are coated with a composition containing essentially a binding agent and a pigment in the form of a mineral filler. A description of the components of paper coating materials and their use is given, for example, in the book, "Pulp and Paper Chemistry and Technology", by James P. Casey, Chapter XIX, Vol. III (1961).
In the printing art, essentially three different printing methods are known, namely letterpress, offset, and gravure printing.
Letterpress printing is known as a relief process. As in the case of the rubber stamp, the image areas are raised above the rest of the printing plate. In printing, coated paper, which contains kaolin or calcium carbonate, is also 73~
used.
Offset printing is known as a flat printing process, i.e., the image and nonimage areas are in the same plane. They differ in that the image areas can accept oils (i.e., printing ink) and yield them, but they repel water, while the nonimage parts retain water but repel oil (ink). The rotating printing cylinder first passes the water-bearing f ) cylinder and then the ink-bearing cylinder. However, it does not print directly on the paper, but on a rubber "blank-et" stretched over a cylinder. It is from this that the paper, pressed by cylinders against the rubber blanket, picks up the image. In this process both kaolin and calcium carbonate are used as paper coating pigments.
In gravure printing, the printing parts of the cylinder are below the polished surface. The cylinder passes first through the trough filled with liquid inlc, then the doctor blade, which is a steel blade that takes off the excess ink, and the ink that is to do the printing is held in cells until the impression cylinder carrying the paper rolls over them and the ink is absorbed out of them.
For gravure printing, it is mostly kaolin that is used as a coating pigment in practice. Calcium carbonate is mentioned in the literature (DE-OS 3,132,841 and DE-OS 2,943,653) in ... . . .

conjunction with gravure printing papers. However, calcium carbonate actually has hardly ever been used in gravure printing, especially because the people of the art have been of the opinion that kaolin would have substantially better properties in coated gravure printing papers.
Furthermore, the person of the art is even expressly dis-couraged in the literature from using calcium carbonate as ~;; a coating pigment in gravure printing papers, on the grounds that poor quality printing would result. Only for the sake of example, reference will be made herewith to two quota-tions from the literature in this regard.

In this publication it is literally stated that one of c the "facts of life" is that ground calcium carbonate is a poorer coating pigment for gravure printing papers than kaolin. On page 2 it is again pointed out that calcium carbonate results in poor printability.

2. Tappi Coatings Proceedings 1979: "Possibilities and Limitations of High Solids Colours", page 39:
Under point 4, summary, No. 3~ it is stated that the printing quality, when ground calcium carbonate is ,_ _ ,,, ~2~9~73~
used, is poorer than when kaolin is used in equal and in higher solids concentration.
The use of kaolin as a coating pigment on gravure printing papers, however, entails a series of disadvantages, espe-cially:
- poor rheological behaviour; consequently it is not possible to coat with a high solids content, resul-ting in high energy costs in the drying of the coating.
- Need for large amounts of binding agent.
- Uneconomical, due to high cost factor.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to avoid these disadvantages, and especially to prepare a coating pigment for gravure printing papers, which can be applied i.n high solid concentrations with a low binding agent con-tent, with which energy can be saved, which results in a gravure prin-ting paper of high gloss and high opacity, and better strike-through and show-through characteristics than the coating pigments o:E the prior art.
Brief Summary_~f the Invention It has now surprisingly been found, after years of extensive research and experimentation that, contrary to the opinion of the people of the art, calcium carbonate selected from the group consisting of natural calcium carbonate, classified according to particle size and exhibiting the following char-acteristic properties: a) 50-70% of particles smaller than ,, ,. .- ' ,~S~' ~2~L9~30 1 micron, b) less than 10% of particles smaller than 0.2 micron and c) a specific BET surface area of less than 10 m2/g, may be used to achieve the above object.
The invention is therefore characterized by a very speci-fic combination of three features, in which 50 to 70% of the particles are smaller than 1 micron, less than 10%
(especially between 1 and 10%) of particles smaller than 0.2 microns are present, and the BET specific surface area is less than 10 m2/g. Preferably, the upper cross section of the products of the invention amounts to 3 to 10 microns.
It has been Eound that, in the scope of the invention, all of the alkaline earth carbonates, and their mixtures such as dolomite, can be used successfully. Precipitated calcium carbonates provide a very good solution of the problem stated above. The natural calcium carbonates, limestone, chalk and marble or mixtures thereof have pro-ven outstanding.
Description of Preferred Embodim(ents All percentages stated are by weight. The particle sizes stated in microns correspond to a spherical diameter.

Other features and advantages of the invention will be found in the following description of embodiments.
Example 1 - Preparation of the Experimental Products Natural calcium carbonate was preground dry in a manner that is known in itself. The fine grinding was performed wet in a sand mill, the grinding conditions being selected so that the percentages of particles smaller than 1 micron and smaller than 0.2 microns, as well as the specific surface area, could be varied greatlyO
The measurement of the particl.e size distribution was per-formed by sedimentation analysis, and the measurement of the specific surface area hy the BET method.
In the manner described above, 3 products were made having different percentages of particles smaller than 1 micron, for the purpose of demonstrating the effect of these per-centages on the paper coating formulation.
The testing of these products was performed on a paper coating formulation for gravure printing.

In opacity and in strike-through and show-through, and in the laboratory print, the VP 60/6 gives better results than the kaolin. In the practical print tests both products were rated equal.

These results show that, with a calcium carbonate corre-sponding to the product VP 60/6/ a paper coating for gravure printing can be made, resulting in a coated paper which is equal to and in some ways superior to gravure printing papers produced with the use of kaolin.
From the coating compound formulas of Example 3 it can be seen that, with calcium carbonate, approximately 20~ less ,_ L973a!

The good rheological properties of calcium carbonate make it possible to produce coating formulations of higher solids content (high solids coating), which is not possible with kaolin. The result is lower energy costs in the drying of the coating, which again is a substantial cost saving for the manufacturer of paper.
