The present invention relates to a coating composition for gravure printing paper, and more particularly to a coating composition suitable for obtaining a coated paper for gravure printing with few miss dots and excellent halftone dot reproducibility. Gravure printing has good reproducibility from highlights to midtones and can print beautiful photographs, so it has recently been used in an increasingly wide range of fields. However, since the ink is transferred directly from the concave surface of a metal roll to the paper surface, misdots and halftone dots are easily reproduced, which is a serious defect that impedes printing effectiveness. Misdots are a phenomenon in which intaglio ink is not sufficiently transferred to the paper surface, and the main cause is that sufficient paper surface smoothness is not obtained even under pressure conditions during gravure printing. Therefore, various improvements have been proposed not only from the paper side, such as coating base paper and coating composition, but also from the printing side, such as ink and plate making, but sufficient improvement effects have not yet been obtained. . Poor halftone dot reproduction is a phenomenon in which the gravure ink spreads over the paper surface at the same time as it is transferred to the paper, causing poor reproduction of printed matter, and is likely to occur when the gravure ink is poorly absorbed into the paper surface. In view of the current situation, the present inventors have conducted research to improve the serious defects of gravure printing paper, such as miss dots and poor halftone reproducibility, mainly by examining coating compositions used when manufacturing printing paper. As a result of our research, we have discovered that these can be significantly improved by using a specific calcium carbonate as a pigment component. In general, calcium carbonate has a calcite-based, aragonite-based, and vaterite-based crystal structure.
The shape of the single crystal includes cubic, rod-like, rice-grain-like shapes, and the like. Conventionally, calcium carbonate for paper coating has an average particle size of approximately 0.01 to 3μ.
Anisotropic shapes such as rice grain-like, needle-like, spindle-like, and amorphous shapes with a size of approximately 1.5 m are mainly used. When these anisotropically shaped calcium carbonates are blended into a coating composition for gravure printing paper, it is difficult to obtain smoothness of the paper, and the number of misdots is rather reduced. Furthermore, due to its shape, the coating layer lacks density, and the gravure ink soaks into the coating layer, resulting in poor ink gloss. However, from the results of numerous experiments conducted by the present inventors on various pigments, cubic calcium carbonate (including those that are substantially cubic) having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 1 μm after being subjected to pulverization treatment, It has become clear that unlike conventional various anisotropic calcium carbonates, not only is the reproducibility of misdots and halftone dots good, but also prints with good ink gloss can be obtained. Cubic calcium carbonate having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 1 μm is disclosed in, for example, JP-A-53-43097 and JP-A-Sho.
53-43694, JP-A No. 54-149399, etc., the manufacturing method thereof is disclosed, and it is also possible to use these as a pigment component of a coating composition, for example, in
No. 50075, JP-A-56-68187, etc. However, in the coating composition of the present invention, such cubic calcium carbonate is not simply used as a pigment component, but is used after being wet-pulverized using a sand mill. Calcium carbonate, which could not be used effectively in coating compositions for gravure printing, is used effectively, and printed matter with improved misdot and halftone dot reproducibility is obtained. Coated paper using cubic calcium carbonate with an average particle diameter of less than 0.1 μm results in a decrease in surface strength and also requires an increase in the amount of adhesive.
As a result, the number of missed dots is reduced. Furthermore, cubic calcium carbonate smaller than 0.1 μm also increases the viscosity of the coating composition, resulting in a decrease in coating suitability. However, if the cubic calcium carbonate is larger than 1 μm, the smoothness of the coated surface will be significantly reduced, and the number of misdots will also be reduced. Therefore, in the present invention, the average particle diameter is 0.1 to 1 μm, more preferably 0.1 to 1 μm, by the pulverization process.
Cubic calcium carbonate with a diameter of 0.6 μm is selectively used. In the case of cubic calcium carbonate that has not been subjected to pulverization treatment, the effect of improving misdots and halftone reproducibility of the obtained coated paper as a gravure paper is insufficient, and furthermore, the obtained coating composition is not stable over time. It also has poor properties and tends to cause problems such as streaks during coating, further deteriorating the paper quality. In addition, the cubic calcium carbonate before pulverization is affected by the large amount of secondary aggregates that it contains.
The average particle size is about 0.2 to 3 μm, but in the present invention, it is disintegrated by wet pulverization using a sand mill to have an average particle size of 0.1 to 1 μm. The sand mill treatment in the present invention refers to Ottawa sand having a particle size of about 5 mm or less, as described in JP-A-53-81709, JP-A-53-40462, etc.
Natural or synthetic granules such as glass beads, ceramic beads, silicate beads, zirconium beads, etc. are crushed as a wet grinding medium while being mechanically agitated using a device such as a sand mill, attrition mill, attritor, or agitator mill. This means continuous or batch processing. Furthermore, the processing conditions using a sand mill or the like are controlled by appropriately adjusting various conditions such as the solid content concentration of the processing liquid, the processing amount, the rotation speed of the sand mill, the type and amount of beads, etc., but in the present invention,
After treatment, the solid content of cubic calcium carbonate is 60%.
An aqueous dispersion is prepared, and this is treated so that the measured viscosity is 0.8 poise or less, more preferably 0.5 poise or less when measured with a Hercules high shear viscometer at 4000 rpm. Of course, the treatment concentration may be 60% or more in solid content, but in any case, it is necessary to treat it so that the viscosity is 0.8 poise or less when converted to an aqueous dispersion with a solid content concentration of 60%. When the viscosity exceeds 0.8 poise, it is difficult to obtain the desired effects of the present invention, and moreover, troubles such as streaks are likely to occur. The specific cubic calcium carbonate used in the present invention is preferably 5 to 100% by weight, more preferably 5 to 100% by weight of the total pigment components in the coating composition.
It is used in an amount of about 10 to 80% by weight. In addition to cubic calcium carbonate, examples include kaolin, ground calcium carbonate, anisotropic calcium carbonate, sandy white, titanium dioxide, pyrofluorite clay, calcium sulfite, calcium sulfate, aluminum hydroxide, zinc oxide, talc, zeolite, sulfuric acid. Barium, amorphous silica, plastic pigments, etc. can be blended. The adhesive components used in the coating composition of the present invention include styrene/butadiene, styrene/acrylic, vinyl acetate/acrylic, and ethylene/acrylic.
Various copolymers such as vinyl acetate, butadiene/methylmethacrylate, vinyl acetate/butyl acrylate, and alkali-sensitive or alkali-insensitive adhesives such as polyvinyl acetate, as well as polyvinyl alcohol, maleic anhydride, and styrene. Copolymer, isobutene/maleic anhydride copolymer, acrylic acid/
Synthetic adhesives such as methyl methacrylate copolymers, oxidized starch, etherified starch, esterified starch, enzyme-modified starch, and natural adhesives such as cold water-soluble starch obtained by flash drying them, casein, and soybean protein. Approximately 3 to 20 parts by weight of various commonly known adhesives such as adhesives are used per 100 parts by weight of the pigment. Further, various auxiliary agents such as a dispersant, a thickener, a water retention agent, an antifoaming agent, a water resistance agent, a lubricant, a dye, and a PH regulator are appropriately blended as necessary. When preparing the coating composition, mixing using various mixers, kneaders, ball mills, sand mills, etc.
A stirrer is appropriately selected and used depending on the type of coating composition. The coating composition of the present invention is coated in a single layer or in multiple layers on both or one side of the base paper. In this case, the formulations of the coating compositions for both sides and the coating compositions constituting each layer in multilayer coating can be changed as appropriate according to conventional methods. The coating method is not particularly limited, and may be an air knife coater, a roll coater, a paddle and inverter type blade coater with a beveled or bent blade, or a bill blade, twin blade, or triplex coater. Various conventional coating devices such as various blade coaters and short dwell coaters are used. The coated paper obtained using the coating composition of the present invention is finished using a finishing device such as a super calender or a gloss calender. The thus obtained gravure printing paper of the present invention has significantly improved misdot and halftone dot reproducibility, and has excellent white paper gloss, whiteness, and opacity. The reason for such excellent effects is not necessarily clear, but it is thought that the specific cubic calcium carbonate that has been crushed may overlap like building blocks to form a smooth and dense coating surface. Presumed. The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples below, but it is of course not limited thereto. Examples 1 to 3 Cubic calcium carbonate was prepared with a solid content concentration of 60% using 0.4% sodium polyacrylate as a dispersant.
It was dispersed in water using a Coles disperser so that
The obtained aqueous dispersion was treated once with a sand grinder (manufactured by Igarashi Kikai Co., Ltd.) at 400/hour.

After using 0.2% to make the solid content concentration 65%, and adding 7 parts solid content of alkali-sensitive emulsion as an adhesive, the pH was adjusted to 9.5 with NaOH to obtain a coating composition with a 60% concentration. Ta. This was coated on base paper for coating with a blade coater so that the coating amount was 26 g on both sides, and after drying, it was treated with a super calender to obtain gravure printing paper.
