Preference is given to the use of aldehydes and ketones of the general formula III as a regulator. With particular preference, no further regulators are metered, with the exception of the so-called phlegmatizers, which can be added to organic peroxides for better handling and can likewise have the function of a molecular weight regulator.

- Co-binders can be contained in a proportion of 0.1 to 10 wt .-%, based on the proportion of pigment.
- Another component of the paper coating slips according to the invention is water.
- the content of water is usually adjusted to 25 to 75 wt .-%, based on the total mass of the paper coating composition according to the invention.
- the paper coating slips according to the invention can then be applied to various materials, in particular to paper.
- various materials in particular to paper.
- inventive paper coating slip on paper By applying inventive paper coating slip on paper to obtain paper containing oil-soluble fluorescent dyes. It is characterized by particularly advantageous whiteness and can be prepared with small amounts of fluorescent dyes with high quantum efficiency. It has overall advantageous application properties.
- the content of the paper to oil-soluble fluorescent dyes is generally 0.0001 to 5 wt .-%, preferably 0.001 to 3 wt .-%, particularly preferably 0.002 to 1 wt .-%, each based on paper.
- a specific aspect of the present invention is paper treated with the paper coating slips of the invention.
- Inventive paper are characterized by particularly advantageous whiteness and can be prepared with small amounts of fluorescent dyes at high quantum efficiency. It has overall advantageous application properties.
- the content of the paper coated according to the invention with oil-soluble fluorescent dyes is in particular from 0.0001 to 5% by weight, preferably from 0.001 to 3% by weight, particularly preferably from 0.002 to 1% by weight.
- the reaction temperature was 220 ° C.
- the content of ethylene and methacrylic acid in the ethylene copolymer wax was determined by NMR spectroscopy or by titration (acid number).
- the acid number of the ethylene copolymer wax was determined by titrimetry according to DIN 53402.
- the KOH consumption corresponds to the methacrylic acid content in the ethylene copolymer wax.
- the whiteness (R457) was determined to be 91.5% at 457 nm with UV light using a spectrometer of the Elrepho G-50-660 brand according to DIN 53 145, and 83.5% at 457 nm without UV light there was a difference of 8.0%.
