Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filler comprising calcium salt and cellulose derivative.
- the invention further relates to a method of making the filler, the use of the filler in papermaking, a process for papermaking in which the filler is used as an additive as well as paper comprising the filler.
- Highly filled paper is an established trend in the paper industry not only due to the savings in the decreased use of fibre, but also due to improved product quality, such as higher opacity and better printability.
- Calcium carbonate-based fillers are commonly used, because of their superior light scattering properties.
- a major drawback in the production of highly filled paper, particularly with fillers having high surface area, is the high consumption of sizing agent.
- sizing agent is required in order to obtain corresponding sizing results.
- cellulosic suspensions are more difficult to size when the amount of filler increases.
- Sizing is primarily performed in order to achieve water repellence in paper or board and reduce edge wicking. It will also affect mechanical properties of paper and board, such as dimensional stability, friction coefficient, pliability and folding endurance. Additionally, sizing may improve printability specifically by controlling ink spreading and adhesion.
- the sizing process involves the deposition of hydrophobic substances, commonly referred to as sizing agents, on the fibre surface.
- sizing agents are non-cellulose-reactive sizing agents, e.g. rosin-based sizing agents, and cellulose-reactive sizing agents, e.g. alkyl ketene dimers (“AKD”) and acid anhydrides such as alkenyl succinic anhydride (“ASA”).
- ASA alkenyl succinic anhydride
- Voutilainen has shown that fillers with high surface area adsorb AKD even better than fibres ( Voutilainen, P., "Competitive Adsorption of Alkyl Ketene Dimer on Pulp Fibers and CaCO3 Fillers", Proceedings from International Paper and Coating Chemistry Symposium, 1996 ).
- the presence of Al- and Si-oxides on the filler surface may additionally adsorb cationic starch contained in the AKD particles.
- the surface of the pigment can be modified with an anionic starch-soap complex.
- Cooked starch from corn or potato is complexed with fatty acid salts and precipitated onto pigment surfaces when mixed with precipitated calcium slurry or papermaking furnish containing high levels of calcium ions.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,972,100 suggests a system consisting of a cellulose-reactive size (such as AKD), a cationic dispersing agent (such as cationic starch or polyamides) and a filler. Aside from improved sizing, the invention allows independent control of both filler loading and sizing separately.
- a cellulose-reactive size such as AKD
- a cationic dispersing agent such as cationic starch or polyamides

- U.S. Patent No. 3,730,830 discloses a process for making paper, specifically photographic paper, comprising the use of synthetic polymer fibres. Prior to the addition of the synthetic fibres to the fibre suspension, inorganic pigment or carbon is added to a slurry containing carboxymethyl cellulose and the synthetic fibres thereby achieving uniform dispersion of the polymer fibres among the cellulose fibres in the paper stock.
- WO 02/086238 discloses a filler comprising cellulose or lignocellulose fibrils on which light-scattering material particles have been deposited, wherein an alkyl derivative of cellulose is sorbed to the fibrils, and a process for preparing the filler.
- the fibrils of cellulose or lignocellulose are essential features of the invention.
- the water-dispersible sheet comprises a water-resolvable base paper made from a mixture of water-dispersible fibers and fibrous carboxymethyl cellulose acid or fibrous carboxyethyl cellulose acid.
- the water-dispersible fibers are selected from cellulose fibers.
- the salt of fibrous carboxymethyl cellulose and salt of fibrous carboxyethyl cellulose include a salt of alkali metal or mixed salt of alkali metal salt and another salt such as calcium salt.
- Such a mixture contains fibres or fibrils of cellulose or lignocellulose, which are essential features of the invention.
- U.S. 2003/188738 relates to a filler composition for use in papermaking comprising filler particles, swollen starch granules and a latex, in an aqueous vehicle, wherein the filler particles may be a calcium carbonate.
- the composition may optionally include co-additives for the swollen starch granules and latex.
- the co-additives are anionic, for example carboxymethyl cellulose, but no degree of substitution is mentioned for the carboxymethyl cellulose.
- U.S. 5,492,560 discloses an inorganic filler material treated with a cellulose derivative, preferably sodium carboxymethyl cellulose having a degree of substitution of about 0.70. This U.S. patent relates to improvements in brightness in the production of alkaline paper products containing inorganic pigment type fillers.
