Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of producing coated paper or paperboard.
- the present invention relates to a method of applying coating compositions having a high viscosity under conditions of high shear to substrates.
- each of these application methods inherently has its own set of problems that can result in an inferior coated surface quality.
- the lodgment of particles under the blade can result in streaks in the coating layer, which lowers the quality of the coated paper or paperboard.
- the high pressure that must be applied to the blade to achieve the desired coating weight places a very high stress on the substrate and can result in breakage of the substrate web, resulting in lowered production efficiency.
- the pigmented coatings are highly abrasive, the blade must be replaced regularly in order to maintain the evenness of the coated surface.
- the distribution of the coating on the surface of the paper or paperboard substrate is affected by the surface irregularities of the substrate. An uneven distribution of coating across the paper or paperboard surface can result in a dappled or mottled surface appearance that can lead to an inferior printing result.
- the bar (rod) type coating method is limited as to the solids content and viscosity of the pigmented coating color that is to be applied.
- Pigmented coatings applied by the bar type coating method are typically lower in solids content and viscosity than pigmented coating colors applied by the blade type method. Accordingly, for the bar type coating method it is not possible to freely change the amount of coating that can be applied to the surface of the paper or paperboard substrate. Undesirable reductions in the quality of the surface of the coated paper or paperboard can result when the parameters of coating solids content, viscosity and coatweight are imbalanced. Moreover, abrasion of the bar by the pigmented coatings requires that the bar be replaced at regular intervals in order to maintain the evenness of the coated surface.
- the roll type (film) coating method is a particularly complex process of applying pigmented coatings to paper and paperboard in that there is a narrow range of operating conditions related to substrate surface characteristics, substrate porosity, coating solids content, and coating viscosity that must be observed for each operating speed and each desired coatweight to be achieved.
- An imbalance between these variables can lead to an uneven film-split pattern on the surface of the coated paper, which can lead to an inferior printing result, or the expulsion of small droplets of coating as the sheet exits the coating nip. These droplets, if re-deposited on the sheet surface, can lead to an inferior printing result.
- the maximum amount of coating that can be applied to a paper or paperboard surface in one pass using the roll type coating method is typically less than that which can be applied in one pass by the blade or bar type coating methods. This coating weight limitation is especially pronounced at high coating speeds.
- a common feature of all these methods is that the amount of coating liquid applied to a paper web, which generally has an irregular surface with hills and valleys, is different depending on whether it is applied to a hill or a valley. Therefore, coating thickness, and thus ink reception properties, will vary across the surface of the coated paper resulting in irregularities in the printed image.
- these coating methods are still the dominant processes in the paper industry due to their economics, especially since very high line speeds can be achieved.
- coating compositions having a very high viscosity under conditions of high shear and/or shear-thickening behavior cannot be applied to substrates because such coating compositions lead to unacceptable coating defects such as streaks in the coating layer or failure to meet target coatweights.
- coating compositions generally exhibit poor water-holding properties coupled with a low immobilization solids content. Coatings with poor water-holding properties generally cannot be coated with the aforementioned coating methods without lowering the coating solids and/or adding water-holding agents.
- co-structured pigments are engineered pigments that are generally pigments having narrow particle size distributions or morphologies such as high aspect ratios, acicular shapes, or other irregular shapes as well as internal porosity such as found in calcined clay.
- Engineered pigments hereafter referred to as co-structured pigments have also been developed.
- co-structured pigment should be interpreted in the sense that such pigment is modified by, for example, agglomerating specific particles to other specific particles; one example of these is calcium carbonate particles agglomerated onto talc particles, such a combination being thought to improve specific paper properties such as opacity, gloss and printing properties.
- such pigments lead to improved mechanical properties of the paper.
- the composition When engineered pigments are added to a coating composition at a level of greater then 20 weight percent the composition typically has a high viscosity under conditions of high shear and/or shear-thickening behavior. This is due to the inability of the pigments to pack into efficient compact structures under conditions of high shear rate Similar volumetric packing effects at conditions of high shear rate also occur with conventional coating formulations as the solids content approaches the immobilization point. This phenomenon makes it difficult or even impossible to coat such a coating composition on paper or paperboard using the aforementioned coating techniques. Generally speaking, as the viscosity at shear rates greater than 100,000 s -1 gets higher than 50 mPa ⁇ s, runnability issues become problematic. Coatings with a viscosity above 75 mPa ⁇ s are usually considered difficult to run and coatings with viscosity above 100 mPa ⁇ s are very difficult to run.
- Shear-thickening behavior is the phenomenon of an increasing viscosity as the shear rate is increased.
- the shear rate for the onset of shear thickening behavior can vary widely as well as the degree of increase in viscosity with increasing shear. Both aspects of the shear-thickening behavior are important and both aspects are very dependent on the solids content of the coating.
- a shear-thickening coating formulation is defined as one whose viscosity increases by at least 20 percent over an order of magnitude (factor of 10) change in shear rate for shear rates in excess of 1000 s -1 .
- shear Blocking Behavior is defined by a coating whose viscosity increases by at least 100 percent in less than an order magnitude increase in shear rate as measured using the Parallel Plate Viscosity Test.
- the shear rate for the onset of shear-blocking behavior can vary widely and is very dependent on the solids content of the coating as well as the factors and particle size distribution of the coating pigments.
- curtain coating is a relatively new coating technique.
- EP-A 517 223 and Japanese patent applications JP-94-89437 , JP-93-311931 , JP-93-177816 , JP-93-131718 , JP-92-298683 , JP-92-51933 , JP-91-298229 , JP-90-217327 , and JP-8-310110 disclose the use of curtain coating methods to apply one or more pigmented coating layers to a moving paper surface. More specifically, the prior art relates to:
- curtain coating method to apply a single layer of pigmented coating to the surface of a moving web of paper, as disclosed in the prior art discussed above, is stated to offer the opportunity to produce a superior quality coated paper surface compared to that produced by conventional means.
- sequential application of single layers of pigmented coating using curtain coating techniques is constrained by the dynamics of the curtain coating process. Specifically, lightweight coating applications can only be made at coating speeds below those currently employed by conventional coating processes because at high coating speeds the curtain becomes unstable, and this results in an inferior coated surface.
- Coated papers and paperboards that have received a coating that contains an additive designed to impart functional properties, such as barrier properties, printability properties, adhesive properties, release properties, and optical properties such as color, brightness, opacity, gloss, etc., are described as functional products and their coatings may be referred to as functional coatings.
- the coating components that impart these properties may also be referred to as functional additives.
- Functional products include paper types such as self adhesive papers, stamp papers, wallpapers, silicone release papers, food packaging, greaseproof papers, moisture resistant papers, and saturated tape backing papers.
- the curtain coating method for the simultaneous coating of multiple layers is well known and is described in U.S. Patents 3,508,947 and 3,632,374 for applying photographic compositions to paper and plastic web.
- photographic solutions or emulsions have a low viscosity and a low solids content, and are applied at low coating speeds.
- JP-A-10-328613 discloses the simultaneous application of two coating layers onto a paper web by curtain coating to make an inkjet paper.
- the coating compositions applied according to the teaching of that reference are aqueous solutions with an extremely low solids content of 8 percent by weight. Furthermore a thickener is added in order to obtain non-Newtonian behavior of the coating solutions.
- the examples in JP-A-10-328613 reveal that acceptable coating quality is only achieved at line speeds below 400m/min. The low operation speed of the coating process is not suitable for an economic production of printing paper, especially commodity printing paper.
- a coating composition having a high viscosity under conditions of high shear can be applied to a substrate using curtain coating technology.
- a coating composition having shear-thickening behavior can be applied to a substrate using curtain coating technology.

Neither the general specification nor the explicit examples disclose coating compositions exhibiting shear thickening.
- WO 01/54828 discloses a multilayer packaging laminate that is produced by simultaneously applying at least two coating layers using a curtain coater. In order to successfully use the curtain coating process coating compositions having low viscosities shall be used.

- Figure 1 is an explanatory cross-sectional view of a preferred curtain coating unit 1 with a slide nozzle arrangement 2 for delivering multiple streams 3 of curtain layer to form a continuous, multilayer curtain 4.
- a dynamic equilibrium state is reached, the flow amount of the curtain layers flowing into the slide nozzle arrangement 2 is completely balanced with the flow amount flowing out of the slide nozzle arrangement.
- the free falling multilayer curtain 4 comes into contact with web 5, which is running continuously, and thus the web 5 is coated with multiple layers of the respective curtain layers.
- the running direction of the web 5 is changed immediately before the coating area by means of a roller 6 to minimize the effect of air flow accompanying the fast moving web 5.
- the pH of the pigmented coatings formulations was adjusted to by adding NaOH solution (10 percent). Water was added as needed to adjust the solids content of the formulations.
- the formulations detailed below were coated onto paper according to the following procedure A multilayer slide die type curtain coater manufactured by Troller Schweizer Engineering (TSE, Murgenthal, Switzerland) was used.
- the curtain coating apparatus was equipped with edge guides lubricated with a trickle of water and with a vacuum suction device to remove this edge lubrication water at the bottom of the edge guide just above the coated paper edge.
- the curtain coater was equipped with a vacuum suction device to remove interface surface air from the paper substrate upstream from the curtain impingement zone. The height of the curtain was 300mm. Coating formulations were deaerated prior to use to remove air bubbles.
- the coatweight achieved in each coating experiment was calculated from the known volumetric flow rate of the pump delivering the coating to the curtain coating head, the speed at which the continuous web of paper was moving under the curtain coating head, the density and percent solids of the curtain, and the width of the curtain.
- the comparative blade coating experiments were carried out using a conventional blade coater.
- the blade pressure is controlled by adjusting the head angle up to a maximum of 24 degrees.
- the viscosity is measured using a Brookfield RVT viscometer (available from Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc., Stoughton, Massachusetts, USA). For viscosity determination, 600 ml of a sample are poured into a 1000 ml beaker and the viscosity is measured at 25°C at a spindle speed of 100 rpm.
- the viscosity is measured using a Physica UDS 200 Viscometer (available from Paar Physica). The sample is tested at 25°C using a 50 mm diameter parallel plate geometry with a measurement gap of 0.03 mm. The shear rate is ramped from 10 s -1 to 100,000 s -1 over a period of 2 minutes using logarithmic steps in shear rate with 10 steps/decade of shear rate. The viscosity at 3000 s -1 and 30,000 s -1 is determined by interpolation of the measured values. The Shear-Thickening Index is calculated by dividing the viscosity value at 30,000 s -1 by the viscosity value at 3000 s -1 .
- a Shear-Thickening Index value greater than one is indicative of shear-thickening behavior. If the viscosity versus shear rate flow curve exhibits a sudden sharp increase in viscosity (greater than 100 percent viscosity increase in less than a factor of 10 increase in shear rate), then the coating is deemed to have Shear-Blocking Behavior.
- the high shear viscosity is measured using an ACAV II Capillary Viscometer (available from ACA Systems in Finland). Approximately 1000 cc of sample is placed in the measuring cylinder and the measurement temperature is 25°C. A glass capillary having a diameter of 0.5 mm and a length of 50 mm is used for the measurements. The use of a capillary with a Length/Diameter ratio of 100 minimizes the impact of end effects on the measurement.
- the sample viscosity is measured from 100,000 s-1 to 1,500,000 s-1 using 12 logarithmic steps in shear rate. If the maximum testing pressure (300 bar) is reached before the 1,500,000 -1 shear rate, then the test is terminated. The viscosity is calculated from the measured pressure versus flow rate curve. The ACAV II software corrects the data for kinetic energy. The viscosity at 500,000 s-1 is then determined by interpolation of the experimental data.
- Water retention of a coating color is measured with an AA-GWR gravimetric water retention meter (available from OY Gradek Ab, Kauinianen, Finland).
- the test cell is placed on top of a non-hydroscopic polycarbonate filter with 0.8 micron pore size (Nucleopore brand, available from Sterico AG, Dietikon, Switzerland) that is placed on top of a pre-weighed absorbing paper (Whatman Chromatographic paper 17 CHR, available from VMR International AG, Dietikon, Switzerland).
- the assembly is placed onto the backing table and tightened. Then, 10 ml of coating color is poured in the test cell, which is immediately closed with the plug. The timer is started. After 15 seconds, the cell is pressurized at 1 bar.
- the pressure is removed and the plug cell removed.
- the absorbing paper is separated from the filter membrane.
- the amount of absorbed liquid is determined by weighing the absorbing paper with a balance accurate to 0.0001 g.
- the amount of absorbed liquid per square meter is calculated using an average of 3 measurements.
- a Coesfeld Minimum Film Forming Temperature device (available from Coesfeld, Dortmund, Germany) is used. Over a 50cm long glass plate put on a metal plate, a temperature gradient is reached by heating one end to 50°C and keeping the other end at 10°C. A coating color layer 14cm wide and 0.4 mm wet thickness is put over the plate using a drawdown bar. The solids of the coating color is measured prior to application to the plate and is defined as the Coating Application Solids for the purposes of this invention. A drying front progresses from the hot end toward the cold one. After about 15 minutes, samples of coating color are taken at the drying front with a spatula. The solids content of the samples are measured. An average of 6 measurements is taken as the Immobilization Solids Content.
- the coatweight achieved in each paper coating.experiment is calculated from the known volumetric flow rate of the pump delivering the coating to the curtain coating head, the speed at which the continuous web of paper is moving under the curtain coating head, the density and percent solids of the curtain, and the width of the curtain.
- the degree of cratering is determined by visual observation of burn out samples.
- a (50/50) water/isopropyl alcohol solution with 10 percent NH 4 Cl is used. Paper coated on only one side is immersed for 30 sec in the solution; paper coated on both sides is immersed for 60 sec. After removing the excess of solution with a blotting paper the samples are air dried overnight. Burn out is done in an oven at 225°C for 3.5 min. Craters are counted within a 3 x 3-cm section of the burn out samples with the help of magnifying glasses (magnification x10). Very small uncoated spots, with perfect circular shape are not taken as craters; they are assumed to be pitting given by micro bubbles in the coating from air entrainment. Also not taken in account are elliptical uncoated areas oriented with the long axis in the machine direction (the direction in which the paper is moving) given by larger bubbles present in the coating formulation that are not removed by deaeration.
- the density of a curtain layer is determined by weighing a 100-millilitre sample of the coating in a pyknometer.
- the roughness of the coated paper surface is measured with a Parker PrintSurf roughness tester.
- a sample sheet of coated paper is clamped between a cork-melinex platen and a measuring head at a clamping pressure of 1,000 kPa.
- Compressed air is supplied to the instrument at 400 kPa and the leakage of air between the measuring head and the coated paper surface is measured.
- a higher number indicates a higher degree of roughness of the coated paper surface.
- Brightness is measured on a Zeiss Elrepho 2000. Brightness is measured according to ISO standard 2469 on a pile of sheets. The result is given as R457.
- Opacity is measured on a Zeiss Elrepho 2000. Opacity is measured on a single sheet backed by black standard (R 0 ) and on a pile of sheets (R ⁇ ). The result is given as R 0 /R ⁇ x 100 percent.
- the median Stokes equivalent spherical particle size and particle size distribution are measured using an X-Ray sedigraph instrument (SediGraph 5100 Particle Size Analysis System available from Micromeritics, Norcross, GA, USA). Raw material manufacturers supplied particle size and particle size distribution numbers for raw materials employed in the Examples.
- the aspect ratio is measured using an electron microscope image analysis method described in " Aspect Ratios of Pigment Particles Determined by Different," Nordic Pulp and Paper Research Journal, Vol. 15, No. 3/2000, pp. 221-230 .

- the viscosity at 500,000 s -1 for the coating in Slot 2 exceeds the range observed to be problematic for running on blade coaters (greater than 50 mPa ⁇ s) and the shear thickening index is greater than 1.2.
- Example 2 The trial speeds and coatweights for each layer for Example 1 are given in Table 2.
- the basepaper was a wood-containing paper with a surface roughness of 4.3 microns.
- a pigmented layer (slot 1) was placed next to the paper. A second layer was added simultaneously using slot 2. This layer contained the high aspect ratio clay. The multilayer coating was successfully applied at all conditions in Table 2 without runnability problems.
- the viscosity at 500,000 s -1 for the coating in Slot 2 exceeds the range observed to be very problematic for running on blade coaters (greater than 100 mPa ⁇ s) and the shear thickening index is greater than 1.5.
- Trial speed and coatweights for each layer of Example 2 are given in Table 4.
- the basepaper was a wood-containing paper with a surface roughness of 4.3 microns.
- a pigmented layer (slot 1) was placed next to the paper.
- a second layer was added simultaneously using slot 2, and this layer contained the calcined clay.
- the multilayer coating was successfully applied at all conditions in Table 4 without runnability problems.
- the coated paper sample from the first test condition in Table 4 had significantly improved opacity (92.6 versus 90.4) and significantly improved brightness (80.4 versus 73.7) when compared to a single 8g/m 2 laboratory blade-coated sample in which Clay (C) was substituted for Clay (A) in the formulation for Slot 2 given in Table 3.
- Example 2 The method of Example 1 was repeated using a thickener in place of some of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) in the top layer (Slot 2).
- the thickener employed in the comparative experiments was chosen for its compatibility for high-speed blade coating as well as for its ability to provide crater-free curtain coating at high coating speeds.
- the amount of PVOH in the bottom layer (Slot 1) was increased to 2 parts and the whitener was removed from the top layer (Slot 2).
- the coating ingredients were mixed in the amounts given in Table 5.
- the viscosity at 500,000 s -1 for the coating in Slot 2 exceeds the range observed to be difficult for running on blade coaters (greater than 75 mPa ⁇ s) and the Shear Thickening Index is greater than 1.2.
- the coatweights for each layer were 1.5 g/m 2 (dry) for Slot 1 and 6.5 g/m 2 (dry) for Slot 2.
- the 8 g/m 2 (dry) total coatweight multilayer coating was applied at 1250 m/min and 1500 m/min.
- the basepaper was a 35 g/m 2 wood-containing paper with a surface roughness of 4.8 microns.
- the coating applied at 1250 m/min gave a crater-free coating, while the coating applied at 1500 m/min gave an almost crater free coating with no other runnability problems. This demonstrates that coatings with high aspect ratio pigments and high high-shear viscosity can be easily applied with a curtain coater at high coating speeds using the process of the invention.
- Comparative Example A The method of Comparative Example A was repeated except that the coating mixture shown in Table 6 was used.
- This coating composition represents the blend of the pigment compositions for the two coatings (Slots 1 and 2) used in Example 3.
- the PVOH, surfactant, and thickener levels were kept the same as for the top layer (Slot 2) in Example 3.
- a coating of 8.3 g/m 2 (dry) total coatweight was applied at 1250 m/min using the jet applicator blade coater onto the same basepaper used in Example 3.
- the metering blade was a 0.4-mm thick blade with a 45-degree bevel operating with a blade load (head angle) of 12.1 degrees.
- the blade exhibited an extreme amount of wet bleeding (30g of coating bleeds for 2 minutes of running time).
- the paper had numerous areas of skip coating, that is uncoated areas.
- the blade bevel was changed to 40 degrees, then the blade ran clean but the blade load was very high (at the maximum head angle of 24 degrees the coatweight was 8.3 g/m 2 ).
- Example 2 The method of Example 2 was repeated using a thickener in place of some of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) in the top layer (Slot 2).
- the thickener was chosen for its compatibility for high-speed blade coating in the comparative experiments as well as for its ability to provide crater-free curtain coating at high coating speeds.
- the amount of PVOH in the bottom layer (Slot 1) was increased to 2 parts and the whitener was removed from the top layer (Slot 2).
- the coating ingredients were mixed in the amounts given in Table 7.
- the coating speed was 1500 m/min and coatweights for each layer were 1.5 g/m 2 (dry) for Slot 1 and 6.5 g/m 2 (dry) for Slot 2.
- the basepaper was a 35 g/m 2 wood-containing paper with a surface roughness of 4.8 microns.
- the multilayer coating with 8 g/m 2 (dry) total coatweight was applied at 1500 m/min and gave a nearly crater-free coating with no other runnability issues. This demonstrates that coatings with Shear-Blocking Behavior can be easily applied using a curtain coater.
- the coating with the calcined clay pigment (Slot 2 of Example 4) was applied onto the same basepaper as Example 4 using a jet applicator blade coater equipped with a 0.4-mm thick 45 degree angle blade operating. At 1500 m/min the blade load (head angle) needed to achieve 8.4 g/m 2 (dry) was 21.4 degrees and the blade ran clean. This demonstrates that this calcined clay pigment requires relatively high blade loads.
- This coating composition represents the blend of the pigment compositions for the two coatings (Slots 1 and 2) used in Example 4.
- the PVOH, surfactant, and thickener levels were kept the same as for the top layer in Example 4.
- the blade load (head angle) needed to achieve 8.0 g/m 2 (dry) was 22.4 degrees and the blade ran clean.
