Definitions

• the mineral pigments used include kaolin, titaniurn dioxide, talc, zinc sulphide, lithopone, calcium and magnesium oxides and carbonates, barium sulphate, and the like.
• Binders used include, in general, natural, animal or vegetable glues or synthetic glues, in particular casein, gelatines and the like.
• waxes and soaps such as, for instance, camauba wax, paraffins and the like, have been included in the coatings.
• THE PRESENT INVENTION One object of this invention was to provide a new coated paper adapted to a variety of uses, and having excellent resistance to stresses of different kinds, such as to tearing, wetting, bursting and so on.
• this invention in accordance with which a composition consisting of cellulosic and/or other fibers, mineral and/or organic fillers, and binders is coated onto a support comprising a special fibrous polypropylenic material which is net-like and obtained from a longitudinally oriented film of polypropylene consisting essentially of isotactic macromolecules and having, preferably, a melt index comprised between 0.5 and 20.
• the supports can be prepared by starting with a polypropylene film, which may be a blown film, orienting it in the longitudinal direction, and then converting it to a net-like structure.
• One preferred method for effecting the conversion consists in cutting up the oriented film, by means of rollers fitted with staggered pins.
• the rollers can be ofthe type specified in the published Japanese Patent Application of M. Niwa No. 22,048/64, filed May 15, I962.
• the cutting up of the oriented polypropylene film can also be effected by means of other processes and devices ofa similar kind.
• the oriented polypropylene film may be of any desired thickness as long as it can be converted in a net like structure; convenient thickness have been been found to be comprised between 0.001 and 0.4 mm for many uses, and preferably between 0.01 and 0.25 mm.
• the meshes of the net have sides which measure from 0.1 to 3.0 cm.
• the coating applied to the net-like structures to obtain the reinforced paper of the invention is formed of a conventional composition which is a mixture of cellulosic and/or other fibers, with mineral and/or organic pigments or fillers, and binding agents.
• the coating is applied to the net-like polypropylene support by conventional devices, followed by drying and calandering of the coated support.
• EXAMPLE I A. Preparation of support A support having a net-like structure was prepared by extruding polypropylene consisting essentially of isotactic polypropylene melt index, 2; residual ash content, 0.00l percent; residue of extraction with n-heptane, 97 percent), to form a film, stretching the film in the longitudinal direction, and cutting up the film longitudinally by means of a roller fitted with staggered pins, to produce a net the meshes of which have sides of 0.2 cm.
• polypropylene consisting essentially of isotactic polypropylene melt index, 2; residual ash content, 0.00l percent; residue of extraction with n-heptane, 97 percent
• the coated support was dried and caelered (with a resting time on the calender of 5 seconds and a temperature of the calander rollers of l$5 C).
• EXAMPLE 2 A Preparation of the support A support having a net-like structure was prepared by extruding polypropylene consisting essentially of isotactic polypropylene melt index 2; residual ash content 0.00l percent; residue of extraction with n-heptane, 97 percent), to obtain a film, stretching the film longitudinally, and cutting up 30 the stretched film in a longitudinal direction by means of a roller fitted with pins arranged in a staggered position, such as to produce a net the meshes of which have sides of0.4 cm.
• polypropylene consisting essentially of isotactic polypropylene melt index 2; residual ash content 0.00l percent; residue of extraction with n-heptane, 97 percent
• EXAMPLE 3 Preparation of the support A support with a net-like structure was prepared by extruding polypropylene consisting essentially of isotactic polypropylene melt index, 0.5; residual ash content, 0.00l percent; residue of extraction with n'heptane, 97 percent) to obtain a film, by then subjecting the film to a longitudinal stretching, and finally by cutting up the film in a longitudinal direction by means of rollers fitted with staggered pins such as to produce a net the meshes of which have sides of 0.25 cm.
• polypropylene consisting essentially of isotactic polypropylene melt index, 0.5; residual ash content, 0.00l percent; residue of extraction with n'heptane, 97 percent
• the support consisting of the polypropylene net-structure, was coated with the coating paste by means of a conveyor belt permitting application of the coating to both faces of the support. Thereafter, the treated support was dried and then passed through a calander with a resting time in the calander of 5 seconds, and temperature of the calander-rollers of 155 C.
• the coating applied to the polypropylene net may contain fibers different from cellulosic fibers, in whole or in part.
• Artificial or synthetic fibers can be used, including viscose fibers and fibers of propylene homopolymers and copolymers such as fibers of heteroblock copolymers the macromolecules of which are made up of blocks of propylene units and blocks of units of other monomers. particularly ethylene and/or butenel.
• Polypropylene consisting essentially of isotactic polypropylene, that is of polypropylene made up of macromolecules having substantially isotactic structure, is disclosed in Natta et al. US. Pat. No. 3,112,300.

• Coated paper and similar fibrous structures according to claim 1 characterized in that the net is obtained from a film of polypropylene consisting essentially of isotactic polypropylene and having a melt index of from 0.5 to 20, the net having meshes the sides of which are of the same or different length offrom 0.1 to 3.0 cm.
• Coated paper and similar fibrous structures according to claim 2 further characterized in that the coating contains natural, artificial and synthetic fibers.
• Coated paper and similar fibrous structures according to claim 2 further characterized in that the binder in the coating is at least one member selected from the group consisting of natural, animal, vegetable and synthetic glues.
• a process for preparing coated paper and similar fibrous structures which comprises applying, to both faces of a supporting net obtained from a longitudinally oriented film of polypropylene consisting essentially of isotactic polypropylene, a coating consisting of cellulosic fibers, at least one member selected from the group consisting of mineral and organic fillers and pigments, and at least one binder, drying the coated net, and passing it through a heated calander.
