Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coating that employs a composite structure, the body of which consists of polysaccharide, into which carbonate is precipitated.
  • the invention relates to the use of such a carbonate polysaccharide structure in the coating layer of paper or board, in the coating of paints, or in materials similar to paints (for example in varnishes).
  • Said structure improves the smoothness, thickness, mottling, strength, opacity, and brightness of the coating layer of the finished paper or board or the paint coating, as well as the optical density of the ink, and the stiffness and sizing ability of the coated paper or board.
  • coating pigments which are used in the manufacture of paper and board, are kaolins, talcs, gypsum, ground calcium carbonate (GCC), and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). Additionally, there are more expensive special pigments, such as precipitated aluminium silicates, satin white, and titanium dioxide.
  • coating pigments are preferably used, as they improve the optical properties of the paper and board and the setting of printing ink (the printability), and make it possible to reduce the basis weight of the paper body stock, board or coating layer; in particular, if the coverage of the coating is good. A good coverage appears as the lack of mottling to the human eye.
  • Paints employ the same coating pigments mentioned above. Titanium is used in considerably larger amounts than in the coating of paper or board, however. Another great difference, compared with the coating of paper and board, is that in latex paints, in particular, latex is used considerably more frequently as a binder than pigments. Regarding paints, the purpose is to form, on the surface that is to be painted, a wear-resistant film coat that is as solid as possible and has a good opacity. Additionally, various additives that improve the formation of a film are used in paints, softening the latex particles and helping to form a solid paint film.
  • the purpose of the binder is to attach the pigments to the base, which is to be coated, and to the coating.
  • a solid coating is formed, while in the coating of paper and board, the purpose of the use of binders is to ensure that the pigments of the coating and the actual coating remain attached to the paper or board during the printing, in particular.
  • the purpose of a porous surface is to provide a suitable setting velocity of ink for each printing method (e.g., offset, gravure printing, flexographic printing, inkjet).
  • the aim is to make the surface of the base paper or board as even as possible, so as to obtain as good a coverage as possible, by using as small an amount of coating as possible.
  • the base paper or board is, typically, first pre-calendered before the coating.
  • a machine calender there are metal rollers on both sides of the paper or board; this keeps the thickness standard, but the density varies.
  • a soft calender the paper or board travels between a hard and rubber-coated roller.
  • One advantage thereof is that the density variation is minor.
  • both types of calender generally, one metal roller is heated.
  • supercalenders and multi-roll calenders which comprise more than ten rollers, between which the paper or board travels.
  • the pre-calendering there are often two rollers and, in the finishing calendering (super and multi-roll calendering), more than ten rollers.
  • the calendering In the calendering, the upper and lower surfaces of the paper or board are mechanically pressed against each other.
  • the finishing calendering is carried out, among others, to provide an improved pre-coating or a printable front coat.
  • the greatest disadvantage of calendering is that it decreases the thickness of the coated paper or board, i.e., it increases the density of the product.
  • Other disadvantages include the weakening of stiffness levels, strength properties, and optical properties.
  • the poor smoothness of the coated paper or board appears as poorer coverage and a need of a larger amount of coating to fill the holes on the surface that is to be coated.
  • the poor coverage of the coating is often seen as an uneven print quality, i.e., so-called mottling.
  • the poor smoothness of the coating or the resulting poor coverage can also cause gloss mottling or unevenness of the gloss in glossy coated paper and board grades. This is also referred to as the opacity and brightness mottling of the coating.
  • the mottling of the print among others, the following types of mottling can be distinguished: back trap, hydrophobic, single-colour, density, and dry mottling.
  • the mottling is caused by the differences in microporosity of the coating structure or an uneven distribution of binder in the coating.
  • the mottling of the print is caused, when more or less ink is absorbed in the mottled area of the paper or board than in the surrounding area.
  • the coating would have a good coverage, i.e., as little mottling as possible, it would be light, i.e., its thickness would be high, its smoothness good, and the other qualities of paper or board, such as gloss, would be at the target level and the mottling would be minor.
  • the nip pressure of the calendering can be decreased, if some coating provides the desired level of smoothness easier than another. In that case, a lighter, stiffer, and stronger coating is obtained, which still has the desired level of smoothness, and we would be closer to the ideal that is mentioned above.
  • the picking of the coating of paper and board i.e., the peeling of the fibres, pigments, or the surface of the coating itself is a very harmful defect in quality, in the printing, in particular.
  • the material that has peeled off the coating accumulates, on the printing surfaces and in the dampening fluid of the first printing unit (in multi-colour printing), in particular. In printed paper or board, this is visible as mottles, missing spots, the peeling of the coating, and other quality problems.
  • the picking of the coating surface causes the peeling of single fibres and fibre bundles; at its worst, the delamination of part of the coating can take place.
  • the picking in the printing is caused by that, for the splitting of the ink in the printing nip, the force that is perpendicular to the coating surface exceeds the local strength of the coating surface at the outlet of the printing nip. Binders are used in an attempt to prevent these quality problems.
  • An example of these comprises starch.
  • starch The ability of starch to form the bonding strength of the coating is caused by its large number of hydroxyl groups, which increase its ability to form hydrogen bonds. In plants, starch is found in small (2-150 ⁇ m) granules that are separated during the manufacturing process. All plants contain starch. Starch is commercially produced from potato, tapioca, barley, wheat, rice, and corn, however, and to some extent, from tuberous roots, leguminous plants, fruit, and hybrids.
  • starch is not soluble in cold water. This is due to the fact that starch polymers are in a well-organized form, bound by hydrogen bonds in the starch granules. When an aqueous starch solution is heated, the starch granules first swell, whereafter single starch polymers are released from each other.
  • Starch is often treated to make the starch cationic, the stability of the solution is increased and/or its rheological properties are improved at higher dry matter contents.
  • the chemical forming products of starch are, generally, ethers or esters.
  • These treatment alternatives include hydroxy-alkylation, cationization, carboxymethylation, acetylation, thermo-mechanical treatment, enzyme treatment, hydrogen peroxide treatment, sodium hypochlorite treatment, and acid treatment.
  • Starches that dissolve in cold water i.e., so-called cold-soluble starches, are also provided by treating the starch.
  • Native (untreated) starch is anionic; therefore, its attachment to the fibre, during the paper and board manufacturing process, without a cationic treatment is poor.
  • cationic starches are ethers that are manufactured using an epoxy chemical that contains a quaternary ammonium group.
  • Cationized starch is the treated starch that is used the most.
  • the starch polymers inside the starch granules should be released either by adding to hot water or cooking the aqueous starch solution.
  • the cold-soluble starches mentioned above constitute an exception to this.
  • the purpose of the coating slip that is used in the coating of paper or board is to provide as high a dry matter content as possible. Generally, an improved water retention, runnability, and quality properties are then achieved. When starch is used, therefore, efforts are made to minimize the amount of water needed in the manufacturing process of starch.
  • Guar gum is a vegetable gum that is used most frequently. Guar gum and locust bean gum are seed gums and consist of galactomannan. Karaya gum has a more complex structure; it is a branched polysaccharide. The use of vegetable gums has been limited by their price that is higher than starch. They have also been more difficult to treat than starch.
  • Nanocellulose and nanocellulose also belong to polysaccharides.
  • Nanocellulose or microfibrillated cellulose can be manufactured from all materials that contain cellulose, such as wood.
  • the structure of nanocellulose is considerably smaller than that of a normal cellulose polymer; therefore, it contains a considerably larger number of hydroxyl groups that form hydrogen bonds
  • Nanocellulose is also called: microfibrillated cellulose, nanofibrillated cellulose, nanofibres, and microfibres.
  • a lighter coating of paper or board, or a paint coating which provides a good coverage and improves the essential quality properties.
  • the light, smooth coating gives the manufacturer of paper or board a possibility to achieve a smooth finish that provides high-quality printing results and reduces the required coating material costs.
  • a coating that has a good coverage can also decrease the basis weight of the base paper or board, to some extent. Additionally, in the pigmenting of paper and board, in particular, an improved pre-coating can be achieved, compared to the known solution.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a new coating pigment that is suitable for paper and board products and paints, improving their smoothness, strength, mottling, coverage, opacity, brightness, the optical density of the print, and their sizing ability.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide a coating pigment that contains a carbonate polysaccharide composite in its coating structure.
  • the purpose of the coating pigment in question is to provide an improved smoothness and thickness, while keeping the brightness and opacity of the paper or board product and the paint, in particular, on a good level.
  • the increase in thickness provides a lighter coating structure.

  • fibre products their important properties, such as brightness, opacity, and printability can also be kept on a good level, while part of the raw materials of the coating can be replaced with the coating pigment, according to the invention, due to its lighter structure.
  • the light structure and smoothness that are caused by the use of the composite, according to the invention, enable a decrease in the calender pressures in the nip, whereby the compaction of the paper or board can be reduced.

  • Calcium and/or magnesium carbonate is precipitated into cold-soluble starch, nanocellulose or a mixture thereof from the carbonate ion solution by means of low pressure, heating, mixing, the dosing of an additive that contains alkaline, or a mixture of any of the above.
  • the carbonate that is included in the composite structure and precipitated into the polysaccharide is preferably calcium or magnesium carbonate or a mixture thereof, whereby the carbonate ion solution also contains calcium or magnesium ions of a mixture thereof

  • calcite is found as flaky and cubic crystal forms.
  • Scalenohedral, rhombohedral, acicular, spherical, and prismatic crystal forms are also possible to obtain by changing the precipitation conditions, such as the concentration of slaked lime and the reaction temperature.
  • Carbonate ion solution refers to a carbonate system that can contain carbonate ions (CO 3 2 ⁇ ), bicarbonate ions (HCO 3 ⁇ ), carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 ), and even carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), but this content and the mutual ratios of these states vary according to the pH of the solution.

  • reaction above also works, when a sufficiently warm carbonate ion solution is subjected to low pressure or centrifugal force, so that the carbon dioxide is released from the solution in the air.
  • the carbonate particles can be precipitated according to the following reaction equations:
  • the bicarbonate in the acidic carbonate ion solution is assumed to help the generated carbonate filler to attach to the polysaccharide polymer.
  • the bicarbonate ion includes a possibility for the formation of hydrogen bonds, which is important for the attachment of polysaccharides to the fibre, among others. It could be considered that bicarbonate controls the attachment to the hydroxyl groups of polysaccharides before precipitating into carbonate.

  • the composite according to the invention is used, whereby the picking problem of the surface can be kept under control, and a coating is obtained, which improves the brightness, opacity, and the optical density of the print.
  • other pigments, binders, and additives can possibly also be used in the surface-sizing paste.
  • the surface sizing can be used as the first coating on the base paper or board before the pigmenting of alternative B and/or the coating of alternative A, or before the spreading of pigmenting or coating layers that contain no composite.

  • Latex is a binder that is used the most frequently both in the paper or board applications and paint applications.
  • latexes are combinations of styrene butadiene, polyvinyl acetate, and acrylate latexes or the combinations of their different copolymers. In both of the applications above, efforts have been made to reduce the portion of latex in the coating slip or paint to decrease the costs.
  • the amount of latex varies according to the printing method.
  • offset printing the surface of the paper is moistened by water, whereby the picking strength (wet strength, in particular) is of importance and, generally, 10-15 parts of latex are needed.
  • gravure printing no dampening solution is used, but the smoothness of the paper is an important property. In that case, the amount of latex is generally 4-5 parts of latex.
  • binders starch, carboxy-methyl cellulose (CMC), polyvinyl alcohol, protein, and casein.
  • CMC carboxy-methyl cellulose
  • Polyvinyl alcohol and CMC yield the best bonding strength, but being more expensive than latex, they are not used to a great extent.
  • the base paper or board that is coated with the composite structure mentioned above contains chemical pulp fibre and/or wood fibre and/or synthetic fibre.
  • the fibres can be any natural fibres and/or synthetic fibres.
  • the fibres can comprise chemical pulp or mechanical pulp or a mixture thereof.

  • the present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing the coated paper or board product, wherein the coating composition mentioned above is spread on one or both sides of an uncoated paper or board product to form one or more layers.
  • the method of coating i.e., the method of spreading the composition
  • the most important non-contacting methods are the curtain coating and spray coating.
  • Blade coating, rod coating, air brush coating and film transfer coating are the most important contact methods of coating.
  • the blade coating can be further divided into long dwell time, short dwell time, and jet application.
  • the coating slip is prepared in an aqueous solution, which is dried after the coating.
  • the drying is, generally, carried out with hot air or infrared lamps.
  • the paints dry by air-drying.
  • waterless or powder coating methods which are meant to make charged dry pigments attach to the surface to be coated.
  • the coating can be applied directly on the surface of the manufactured paper or board without a separate intermediary rolling of ink (on-machine coating) or after an intermediary rolling of ink at a separate coating head (off-machine coating). Both sides of the paper or board can be coated simultaneously or at different stages.
  • the coating can be carried out one or more times, whereby drying can be carried out between the different runs of coating.
  • the dry matter content of the coating slips is about 60% or more, and the amount of coating is 10-30 g/m 2 /side.
  • surface sizing and pigmenting are carried out, wherein the composition of the pastes is simpler, and the dry matter contents and desired amounts of coat are lower.
  • the picking strength and stiffness of the paper or board is enhanced, and any partly loose fibres and other components can be bound to the surface.
  • the surface sizing can also constitute a pre-treatment for the paper and board that is to be coated.
  • Starch as such, can be used in the surface sizing pastes in a dry matter content of about 10%.
  • the amount of surface size on the surface of the base paper or board is, generally, 0.5 . . . 3 g/m 2 /side.
  • a pond size press or sym-sizer film coater is conventionally used in the surface sizing.
  • a light coating i.e., pigmenting improves the properties and printability of the surface of the paper/board.
  • the paste often contains a pigment that is added to the starch solution, often calcium carbonate, and possible additives.
  • the dry matter contents in the pigmenting are about 20-55%.
  • the amount of coating is 1 . . . 10 g/m 2 /side, depending on the paper and board grade and the purpose of use.
  • the blade coating provides a surface with a poorer coverage on a rough base paper or board than, for example, the air brush coating, film transfer coating, and the non-contacting coating methods. This is due to the incapability of the blade coating to follow the irregularities of the surface that is coated.
  • a carbonate ion solution was prepared, so that 170 g of burnt lime (CaO) was mixed with 1000 g of water at 55° C.
  • the Ca(OH) 2 — slurry that was thus generated was allowed to react, in the mixture, with the carbon dioxide that was conducted thereto, so that the final pH was 6.2.
  • This solution was allowed to sediment for 48 hours, whereafter the clear solution was separated from the sedimented ingredient.
  • the dry matter content of this solution was 42%.
  • the carbonate ion solution that was thus prepared was used as raw material in the cooking of the coating starch in the tests described below.
  • test point A 20 parts of starch were cooked (95° C., 30 minutes, mixing) together with the carbonate ion solution of Example 1, so that the final dry matter content of the paste was 50%.
  • the starch that was used was potato starch (coating quality) from Chemigate Oy.
  • test point B the same starch was used as in test point A.
  • starch was first cooked (95° C., 30 minutes, mixing), and ground calcium carbonate (Hydrocarb 90, Omya) was added thereto by gently mixing, so that the proportion of starch is 20 parts and the final dry matter content is 50%.
  • Table 1 shows that, when the structure of the coating can be kept light (high thickness) and the surface of the coating smooth, excellent brightness and opacity properties are also achieved. If the coated samples of both of these test points had been calendered to the same level of smoothness, the properties of the coating according to the invention (test point A) would even have been better, because the calendering could have been carried out at a lower nip pressure.
  • test point A 35 parts of starch were cooked (95° C., 30 minutes, mixing) together with the carbonate ion solution of Example 1, so that the final dry matter content of the paste was 40%.
  • test point B the same starch was used as in test point A.
  • starch was first cooked (95° C., 30 minutes, mixing), and ground calcium carbonate (Hydrocarb 90, Omya) was added thereto by gently mixing, so that the proportion of starch is 35 parts and the final dry matter content is 40%.
  • the mottling was assessed as follows.
  • the samples were printed at a four-colour Heatset-offset line frequency of 60 l/cm, using round dots.
  • the C70 and B70 frames on the “mottling” areas on both sides of the samples were measured, so that some paper around them was also included in the image.
  • the clustering method was used, wherein the mottles (0.5-10 mm) are searched by the threshold method, and grouped according to the size and contrast.
  • the Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 7400C desktop scanner was used, with which the version 3.02 of the Hewlett-Packard Precision Scan Pro system software was used. In the measurement, the settings of the system software were according to Table 2.
  • Table 3 shows that, when the structure of the coating can be kept light (high thickness) and the surface of the coating smooth, the mottling index is also improved (a lower value).
  • the mottling index is an index that emphasizes the size and contrast of the mottles by the number. If the coated samples of both of these test points had been calendered to the same level of smoothness, the properties of the coating according to the invention (test point A) would even have been better, because the calendering could have been carried out at a lower nip pressure.
  • test point A provides a surface that consists of small granules
  • FIG. 1A The coating that contains ground calcium carbonate (test point B) obviously constitutes a denser and coarser surface ( FIG. 1B ) than the test point A, according to the invention ( FIG. 1A ).
  • the enlargement of the figures is considerably smaller than the resolution of the human eye. When examined visually, the smaller granule provides an improved coverage, due to its homogeneous and small granules.
