Abstract

An inorganic filler composition and a method for the use thereof wherein the inorganic filler has been pre-treated with an anionic treating agent and a cationic polymer to produce a dual treated inorganic filler. The surface-treated filler materials of the present invention are particularly suitable for use in papermaking processes where sizing and other properties, such as strength and optical performance are important.

Claims (15)

C L A I M S
1. A method for improving sizing comprising adding to a papermaking system a filler material surface treated with from about 0.1 weight percent to about 1.0 weight percent of an anionic agent and from about 0.1 weight percent to about 10 weight percent, based on the weight of the filler material, of a cationic polymer.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the anionic agent is selected from the group consisting of glassy sodium phosphates, carboxymethyl cellulose, silicates, polyacrylates and sodium polyacryic acid including mixtures of any of the above.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the cationic polymer is a dimer of the general formula where R is a hydrocarbon group selected from the group consisting of alkyl with at least 8 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl with at least 6 carbon atoms, aryl, aralkyl and alkaryl.

The product of claim 12, wherein said dimer is selected from dimers of octyl-, decyl-, dodecyl-, tetradecyl-, hexadecyl-, octadecyl-, eikosyl-, dokosyl-, tetrakosyl-,.phenyl, benzyl-beta-naphthyl-, cyclohexyl-, naphthenic acid, delta-9, 10-decylenic acid, palmitoline acid, oleic acid, ricine oleic acid, linoleate, linoleic acid, olestearic acid and fatty acids obtained from coconut oil, babassu oil, palm seed oil, palm oil, olive oil, peanut oil, rape seed oil, beef suet or lard.
14. An improved paper comprising cellulose fibers and a mineral filler treated with first of anionic treating agent and subsequently a cationic polymer.
15. An improved paper comprising cellulose fibers and a calcium carbonate filler surface treated with from about 0.1 weight percent to about 1.0 weight percent of an anionic agent and from about 0.1 weight percent to about 10 weight percent, based on the weight of the filler material, of a cationic polymer.
