A kind of preparation method of paper latex for coating
The present invention relates to a kind of high molecule emulsion polymerization method, more particularly, relate to the emulsion polymerisation process of a kind of paper coating with the carboxyl butylbenzene copolymer.
On paper, cardboard, be coated with the pigment dispersion (coating) that contains latex and can improve optical properties such as gloss, whiteness, and can improve surface smoothness, ink absorption, improved print gloss.Along with the continuous progress of paper-making technique and the high speed of surface covered, coating performance to coating requires also more and more higher, this mainly comprises having favorable mechanical stability, good flowability and equal voltinism, good cohesive strength and water tolerance, surface of good spreadability etc., in the prior art, the paper latex for coating many improvement have been done, as latex being made the distinct nucleocapsid structure of second-order transition temperature, the stone soft shell, soft nuclear duricrust, to improve sheet gloss etc., U.S.Patent3487032 discloses a kind of tetrapolymer latex, adopt the increment polymerization process, wherein comprise 20~70wt% aromatic vinyl monomer, 30~80wt% aliphatics conjugated diene monomer, 0.5~10wt% vinyl unsaturated carboxylic acid and 0.1~5wt% unsaturated amides.This invention is with aromatic vinyl monomer and aliphatics conjugated diene monomer, vinyl unsaturated carboxylic acid and vinyl unsaturated amides carry out pre-mixing respectively, by increment method mix monomer is joined in the polymerization reactor, in whole polymerization process, monomer ratio is that the ratio of aliphatics conjugated diene and aromatic vinyl monomer is a constant, the ratio of these monomers in the polymkeric substance that forms also is relatively-stationary, therefore still can not solve along with the printing technology high speed, cross the deficiency that decarboxylate butylbenzene copolymer latex exists anti-whipability, or when having satisfied anti-whipability, cohesive strength, the water tolerance this defective that can descend.Therefore latex is under paper machine surface covered condition with higher, and the mechanical stability of coating, flowability, surface strength of paper seem relatively poor, is difficult to form fine and smooth, fine and close coating layer.
The preparation method who the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of paper latex for coating, make the latex excellent performance that obtains, the mechanical stability of coating, flowability, cohesive strength and water tolerance satisfy the requirement of high surface covered, and cohesive strength and glossiness, anti-whipability reach optimum balance.
The present invention seeks to realize by following method.
