The present invention relates to a method for producing pigment-coated paper suitable for printing, and uses an inexpensive paint containing a large amount of calcium carbonate as an undercoat for high-grade coated paper to achieve stable operability and drying time. The present invention relates to a method for producing high-quality pigment-coated paper after topcoating, while saving energy. In the production of pigment-coated paper, the coating method is becoming increasingly faster, and the quality requirements of the market for coated paper are also becoming more diverse. The undercoat layer applied as a pre-coat layer is generally applied with a blade coater or roll coater, but the properties of the paint used are an important factor in guaranteeing stable operability and paper quality of the product after topcoating. It's summery. The selection of the composition used for the basecoat application greatly influences the degree of fiber coverage obtained, as well as the binder migration and surface smoothness and porosity of the basecoat paper. Furthermore, when a top coat is applied, it is necessary to use an undercoat composition that prevents excessive penetration of the paint into the undercoat layer. Recently, since calcium carbonate is cheap, its usage ratio has been increasing.However, due to the hydrophobic properties of calcium carbonate, its water retention properties are poor, and when it is used as an undercoat pigment, it is penetration will also increase. If the top coat penetrates into the undercoat layer excessively,
This results in deterioration of the smoothness, white paper gloss, and surface strength of the product after topcoating. However, the present inventors have found that if a synthetic latex with a film water pick-up rate of 120% or more is used as a binder for the undercoat, it will prevent the water retention of the undercoat from decreasing and the topcoat from excessively penetrating into the undercoat layer. It was discovered that deterioration of paper quality after overcoating can be prevented. As a result of further investigation, the average particle size of calcium carbonate for undercoat pigments was determined.
It has been found that when the ratio of 0.3 to 1.0 μm and 1.0 to 3.0 μm and the ratio of calcium carbonate to kaolin are appropriately selected, the effect on paper quality after topcoating is further increased. Specifically, styrene is generally used as a binder in an undercoat coating composition containing a pigment and a binder, whereas many synthetic latex binders used for paper have a water pick-up rate of less than 100%. -Is butadiene the main component?
Alternatively, if you use a latex for paper coating that has styrene-methyl methacrylate-butadiene as its main component and has a water pick-up rate of 120% or more, the operability will be good, and if you apply a top coat and dry it. It has been found that a coated paper with high gloss, good smoothness, and excellent surface strength can be obtained. That is,
Among the monomers that make up the styrene-butadiene latex, butadiene provides the flexibility necessary as a pigment binder, while styrene provides the copolymer with appropriate hardness and has important properties during offset printing. It is extremely effective in providing water resistance. Other monomers include ethylenically unsaturated nitrile compounds such as acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile, ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid esters such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, and tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate, and acrylamide. Ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid amides and their N-substituted compounds, such as , N-methylolacrylamide, and diacetone acrylamide, are generally used to increase adhesive strength and to improve the mechanical stability of copolymer latexes. However, it has been found that the performance can be further improved by effectively combining these monomers to create a latex with a water pick-up ratio of 120% or more. Furthermore, the pigment is mainly composed of calcium carbonate and kaolin, and the ratio thereof is 100:0 to 50:50, and the average particle size of calcium carbonate is 0.3 to less than 1.0 μ.
It was found that if the ratio of 3.0μ was 90:10 to 10:90, the paper quality after overcoating would be further improved. The water pick-up rate specified in the present invention is measured by the following method. A film is made by pouring an aqueous solution or dispersion of a synthetic latex binder into a glass mold and drying it at 110°C for 30 seconds. Place the film in water at 20℃ for 15 minutes.
Put it in for a second and measure the weight before and after. If the weight before putting it in water is Agr, and the weight after putting it in water is Bgr, the pick-up rate X (%) is expressed as the following formula. X=B-A/A×100 (%) In the present invention, pulverized calcium carbonate and kaolin are the main ingredients, but titanium dioxide, aluminum hydroxide, satin white, plastic pigments, etc. can be added as appropriate. Furthermore, dispersants commonly used in coating paints,
The use of various auxiliary agents such as flow modifiers, antifoaming agents, dyes, lubricants, and waterproofing agents cannot be prevented. The improvement in operability and the production of coated paper of high quality by the present invention are believed to be due to the following factors. (1) If a synthetic latex with a water pick-up rate of 120°C or higher is used as an undercoat, when a topcoat is applied, the water in the paint will swell the synthetic latex of the undercoat and prevent the penetration of the topcoat. improves the smoothness, gloss, and surface strength of coated paper. (2) As a pigment for undercoat paint, the average particle size is 0.3~
When calcium carbonate of less than 1.0μ and calcium carbonate and kaolin of 1.0 to 3.0μ are used in a proper mixture, the particles are effectively filled together, preventing appropriate penetration of the topcoat paint and suppressing water absorption, so it can be used after the topcoat. Improve the smoothness, gloss and surface strength of coated paper. The present invention will be specifically explained below with reference to Examples, but is not limited thereto. Examples 1 to 8 As pigments, finely ground calcium carbonate with an average particle size of 0.5μ and 0.8μ, respectively, and an average particle size of 1.3μ,
Pulverized calcium carbonate of 2.8μ and kaolin (HT manufactured by Engelhard) with an average particle size of 0.8μ were used, and the composition ratios were varied as shown in Table 1. Each mixed pigment was dispersed in water using 0.3 parts by weight of a polyacrylic dispersant to prepare a clay slurry having a solid content of 73% by weight. The pick-up rate of water in this product is 130% (JSR-T- manufactured by Japan Synthetic Rubber Co., Ltd.).
239) ○Ro 160% (SNX3819 manufactured by Sumitomo Nogatatsuku Co., Ltd.)
Add 10 parts by weight of phosphoric acid ester starch, add 3 parts by weight of phosphoric acid ester starch and mix with stirring until the final solid content is 64-68% by weight.
A base coat of paint was obtained. Using this paint, coat base paper (basis weight 77gr/m 2 ) with a blade coater to a dry weight of 10gr/m 2 on one side, and after drying with an air knife to a dry weight of 15gr/m 2 on one side. After drying, apply a top coat of paint and adjust the humidity to a temperature of 50℃ and a linear pressure of 100℃.
Coated paper was prepared by supercalendering under conditions of kg/cm. In this case, the composition of the top coat is 100 parts of kaolin (Ultra White 90 manufactured by Engelhard) with an average particle size of 0.6μ, 10 parts of styrene-butadiene latex (JSR0692 manufactured by Japan Synthetic Rubber Co., Ltd.)
1 part and 3 parts of fortified starch, and the final solid content is
Adjusted to 45%. The smoothness, gloss, and surface strength of this coated paper were measured according to the following methods, and the results are shown in Table 2. (1) Smoothness: Smoother smoothness (2) Glossiness: 75°-75° specular gloss (manufactured by Murakami Color Co., Ltd.) (3) Surface strength: IGT tester. Comparative Examples 1 to 4 Finely ground calcium carbonate with an average particle size of 0.5μ0.8μ, calcium carbonate with an average particle size of 1.3μ2.8μ, and kaolin (HT manufactured by Engelhard) with an average particle size of 0.8μ were used as pigments. Table 1 shows the composition ratio.
The changes were made as shown. Next, each mixed pigment is mixed with a polyacrylic dispersant.
A styrene-butadiene-based synthetic latex (Dow 1530 manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation) is dispersed in 0.3 parts by weight in water and the pick-up rate of water is 90%.
10 parts by weight and 3 parts by weight of phosphoric acid ester starch were added and mixed with stirring to obtain an undercoat paint with a final solid content of 61 to 65% by weight. Other than this, it was carried out in exactly the same manner as in Examples 1 to 7, and the results are shown in Table 2.
