Abstract

The present invention relates to a process of manufacturing a high bulk, low weight paper product produced by using a high level of groundwood containing sheet, blade coating with specifically formulated coatings then passing the paper web between two extended-nip calenders, one calender for each side of paper. As a result, densification of the resulting coated paper product is reduced, while maintaining stiffness and opacity comparable to heavier weight sheets.

Claims (23)

1. A process for manufacturing a lightweight, high bulk coated paper, comprising the steps of:
(a) creating a fiber furnish comprising mechanical pulp and chemical pulp;
(b) forming a paper web from the fiber furnish;
(c) removing water from said web;
(d) applying a coating having a weight of at least 2.0 pounds per 3300 square feet per side onto each surface of said web to form a coated web having a moisture content greater than 5.5%, and a caliper greater than 2.8 mils;
(e) passing the coated web through two extended-nip calenders, with each side of the paper facing a heated roll and treated with one of said calender nips, and wherein each calendering nip is formed by a calender roll having a surface temperature of at least 300°
F and a backing shoe having a width of at least 30 mm. the nip providing loading of at least 1000 pounds per linear inch; and whereby the calendered paper has a caliper preservation greater than 75%.
2. A process as in Claim 1 wherein the coating comprises a platy kaolin as a pigment.
3. A process as in Claim 2 wherein said kaolin pigment has a fine particle size distribution characterized in that at least 85% of said particles are less than 2 microns and at least 50% of said particles are less than 0.5 microns, based upon particle counting using a Sedigraph particle size analyzer.
4. A process as in Claim 2 wherein said kaolin pigment has a platy morphology characterized as both fine and coarse particles having a shape factor greater than 15.
5. A process as in Claim 2 wherein said kaolin pigment has a platy morphology characterized as both fine and coarse particles having a shape factor of about 20 to 27.
6. A process as in Claim 1 wherein said furnish comprises at least 40%
mechanical pulp.
7. A process as in Claim 6 wherein said furnish comprises about 60 to 80%
mechanical pulp.
8. A process as in Claim 1 wherein said coating has a weight of 2.0 to 6.0 pounds per 3300 square feet per side.
9. A process as in Claim 1 wherein said coated web has a moisture content greater than 6,5%.
10. A process as in Claim 1 wherein said coated web has a moisture content greater than 7.0%.
11. A process as in Claim 1 wherein said coating comprises a hollow plastic pigment; a kaolin pigment; a calcined kaolin clay; a titanium dioxide pigment; a synthetic latex binder; and a synthetic thickener, or a co-binder including carboxymethylcellulose or acrylic acid based or associative based thickeners.
12. A process as in Claim 11 wherein said coating also comprises precipitated calcium carbonate or ground calcium carbonate.
13. A process as in Claim 11 wherein said hollow plastic pigment is present in an amount of at least about 2% by weight of the total amount of pigment.
14. A process as in Claim 11, wherein said hollow plastic pigment is present in an amount of about 3 to 5% by weight of the total amount of pigment.
15. A process as in Claim 11 wherein said kaolin pigment has a fine particle size distribution characterized in that at least 85% of said particles are less than 2 microns and at least 50% of said particles are less than 0.5 microns, based upon particle counting using a Sedigraph particle size analyzer.
16. A process as in Claim 11 wherein said kaolin pigment has a platy morphology characterized as both fine and coarse particles having a shape factor greater than 15.
17. A process as in Claim 11 wherein said kaolin pigment has a platy morphology character-ized as both fine and coarse particles having a shape factor of about 20 to 27.
18. A process as in Claim 11 wherein said kaolin pigment is present in an amount of at least 70% by weight of the total amount of pigment.
19. A process as in Claim 11 wherein said kaolin pigment is present in an amount of 80% to 100% by weight of the total amount of pigment.
20. A process as in Claim 1 wherein the coating is preferably applied using a blade coater or a metering size press.
21. A process as in Claim 1 wherein the calender is a shoe nip calender, said shoe nip width being in the range of from about 40 mm to about 80 mm, and calendering temperature is at least 300° F, and nip loading at 1700-2400 pli.
22. A process as in Claim 1 wherein said calendered paper has a basis weight of 28 to 38 pounds per 3300 square feet and exhibits a 75 degree TAPPI gloss of 35% or above and a caliper of at least 2.15 mils.
23. A process for manufacturing a super high bulk, offset lightweight coated paper, compris-ing (a) creating a fiber furnish comprising at least 40% mechanical pulp;
(b) forming a paper web from the fiber furnish;
(c) removing water from said web;
(d) applying a coating using a blade coater at coat weights of at least 2.0 pounds per 3300 square feet, per side onto each surface of said web to form a coated web having a moisture content of at least 5.5%; and (e) passing the coated web through two extended-nip calenders, with each side of paper facing a heated roll and treated with one of said calender nips; whereby each calendering nip is formed by a calender roll having a surface temperature of at least 300° F and a backing shoe nip having a width of at least 30 mm, the nip providing loading of at least 1000 pounds per linear inch (pli), and whereby the calendered paper has a caliper preservation greater than 75%, wherein the coating comprises:

(i) hollow plastic pigment, in an amount of at least about 2% by weight of the total amount of pigment;
(ii) kaolin pigment in an amount of at least about 70% by weight of the total amount of pigment, said kaolin pigment having a fine particle size distribution characterized by at least 85% of said particles are less than 2 microns and at least 50% of said particles are less than 0.5 microns, and a platy morphology characterized as both fine and coarse particles having a shape factor greater than 15, preferably 20-27;
(iii) titanium dioxide in an amount of at least about 2% by weight of the total amount of pigment;
(iv) calcined kaolin in an amount of at least 5% by weight of the total amount of pigment;
