Definitions

  • the invention relates to an aqueous surface-coating agent for paper and paperboard having a solids content of from 1 to 55% by weight
  • the present invention further relates to a process for producing paper and paperboard using the aqueous surface coating agent and corrugated board made from this paper.
  • the strength of the paper is an important requirement, as an important basis for this is recycled fibers, which lose their length due to recycling and thus gradually decrease the strength of the paper.
  • aids such as wet and dry strength agents such as cationic and anionic polyacrylamide or polyvinylamine, retention aids and sizing agents are often added to the stock.
  • the action of cationic solidifying agent is partially offset in the pulp by anionic compounds from the recycling process. For this reason, an attempt is made to achieve additional strength by the addition of aids to the paper sheet, for example in the size press.
  • Surface sizing involves coating the paper sheet.
  • a surface sizing agent are often gelatin or starch derivatives in use.
  • Such starch added as a surface sizing agent also has a strengthening effect. However, it is not possible to increase the strength by strength as desired.
  • WO 2004/027149 teaches a consolidation of the paper sheet by crosslinking starch and zinc borate applied to the paper sheet in the size press.
  • EP 2 432 934 teaches to improve paper and board strength by spraying a paper sheet of paper fibers and polyvinyl alcohol fibers with zirconium carbonate and then drying.
  • a disadvantage of all these crosslinking agents is that the process of crosslinking begins already in the mixture and causes only a limited solidification. It was an object of the present invention to provide a surface-coating agent which first cross-links on the fiber and effects a high strength of the paper. Accordingly, the above-mentioned surface coating agent and a process for producing paper and paperboard using the aqueous surface coating agent and corrugated board made from this paper have been found.
  • pulp also referred to as pulp

The degree of substitution DS indicates the number of cationic groups contained on average per glucose unit in the starch. Particularly preferred are amphoteric starches which contain both quaternary ammonium groups and anionic groups such as carboxylate and / or phosphate groups and which may optionally also be chemically modified, for. B. hydroxylalkylated or alkylesterified. The starches can be used individually but also in any mixtures with each other.
