Definitions
- the pigment lines produced in this way have an insufficient printability in gravure printing, which manifests itself in the fact that the gravure printing ink, especially in the semitones, is not transferred to the stitch sufficiently uniformly, and so-called “missing dots” occur in the print.

- the binder mixture contains 5 to 40 parts by weight of at least one copolymer B and 95 to 60 parts by weight of at least one copolymer A.
- the paper coating colors which are produced using these binder mixtures meet the processing requirements, but no longer meet the increased demands on the printability of them coated papers in rotogravure.
- the object of the invention is to provide a binder which, in comparison to known binders, can be used in a smaller amount for the preparation of paper coating slips and which results in coated papers which, particularly in magazine gravure printing, result in a better print loss.

- the copolymer A of the binder mixture contains, as an essential component, acrylic acid esters with monohydric alcohols which have 2 to 8 carbon atoms. Specifically, these are, for example, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, n-, iso- and / or tert-butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. Those acrylic acid esters which are derived from isobutanol and n-butanol are preferably used to construct copolymers A.

- the copolymers B preferably contain acrylic acid and / or methacrylic acid and exclusively or predominantly acrylic acid and methacrylic acid esters of monohydric alcohols having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
- Terpolymeri are also preferred sate into consideration that still contain copolymerized acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate or acrylamide or methacrylamide.
- the copolymers A and B can be prepared by polymerizing the monomers in an aqueous emulsion by processes known per se using the customary anionic or nonionic emulsifiers in the presence of polymerization initiators.
- Suitable emulsifiers are, for example, potassium or sodium n-dodecylsulfonic acid, sodium isooctylbenzenesulfonic acid or potassium salts of the sulfuric acid half-esters of long-chain alcohols with an even carbon number or the corresponding ethoxylated (for example with 2 to 25 mol of ethylene oxide) products, and 5 to 25 mol of ethylene oxide reacted with iso-phenylphenylene oxide and sodium lauryl sulfate.
- the emulsifiers are generally used in amounts of 0.5 to 5 percent by weight, based on the monomers to be polymerized.
- radical-forming compounds such as peroxides, persulfates or azo compounds can be used as polymerization initiators.
- potassium persulfate, cumene hydroperoxide or hydrogen peroxide are suitable.
- redox catalysts or with activated initiator systems, for example with a system composed of potassium persulfate and ascorbic acid, sodium oxime methanesulfonate or triethanolamine.
- the temperatures during the polymerization are in the usual range, for example between 70 and 95 ° C, they can be lower if redox catalysts are used. It is also possible to polymerize at higher temperatures and under pressure.
- chain transfer agents can be used in the polymerization, for example Dodecyl mercaptan and halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and tetrachlorethylene.
- the binder mixture according to the invention contains 95 to 70 parts by weight of the emulsion copolymer A and 5 to 30 parts by weight of the copolymer B. Outside this range, binder mixtures are obtained whose properties are not so advantageous.
- the paper coating slips contain 3 to 7, preferably 4.5 to 5.5 parts by weight of the binder mixture according to the invention per 100 parts by weight of a finely divided pigment. They can also contain conventional additives, e.g. 0.05 to 3 percent by weight of a dispersant based on low molecular weight polymers of acrylic acid (K value of the polymer between 10 and 25) optical brighteners and conventional auxiliaries such as stearates, shading dyes, foam inhibitors, etc.
- a dispersant based on low molecular weight polymers of acrylic acid (K value of the polymer between 10 and 25) optical brighteners and conventional auxiliaries such as stearates, shading dyes, foam inhibitors, etc.
- aqueous dispersions of copolymers A and B are mixed before the coating color is prepared or during the preparation of the coating color.
- the order in which the individual components are added when preparing the coating color is also irrelevant to the properties of the coating slip or the paper coated with it.
- the mixture of the two copolymers A and B is notable for an exceptionally high storage stability which exceeds that of the known binder mixtures.
- the solids content of the dispersions of copolymers A and B can vary within a wide range will.
- Dispersions with a very high solids content are preferably used.
- the highly concentrated aqueous polymer dispersions are also easy to handle, for example they can be pumped.
- a base such as ammonia, sodium carbonate, an amine or sodium hydroxide solution
- the viscosity increases.
- a barely flowable paste can be obtained by neutralizing the copolymers.
- the finished paper coating slips can be applied to base papers by all known methods. Due to the high shear stability, the paper coating slips can be processed on high-speed roller or doctor coating systems. They are mainly used for the production of such papers that are printed in magazine gravure. A better print loss is obtained on these papers than on those papers, for which known paper coating slips were used. The better quality of the printing loss in gravure printing is determined based on missing d-ots.
- the binder mixture according to the invention for the production of paper coating slips, based on pigment, less binder is required than is the case with the known binder mixtures. Despite the reduced binder content in the paper coating slips obtained using the binder mixture according to the invention, there is no dusting of the pigment coating on the papers coated with these paper coating slips.
