  • a high degree of filler causes a decrease in paper strength as well as linting and dusting.
  • a rule of thumb at filler usage in paper is that a 10% increase in filler content decreases the strength by 20%.
  • Problems with linting and dusting occur, as small fibre fragments and fillers are not properly bound into the paper. This can give a specific problem at rotogravure printing of SC paper, called missing dots, when ink is missing in dots in the print.

Starch also makes the paper denser already prior to calandering. Therefore, no starch or small additions (1-2 kg/tonne dry paper) is used in SC paper making.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une charge comprenant une argile et un dérivé de cellulose, possédant un degré de substitution de groupes ioniques net d'environ 0,65. L'invention concerne également une charge comprenant de l'argile et un dérivé de cellulose, possédant un degré de substitution de groupes carboxyalkyle d'environ 0,65. L'invention concerne également un procédé destiné à la production d'une charge, consistant à mélanger de l'argile à un dérivé de cellulose possédant un degré de substitution de groupes ioniques net d'environ 0,65. L'invention concerne également un procédé destiné à la production d'une charge, consistant à mélanger de l'argile à un dérivé de cellulose possédant un degré de substitution de groupes carboxyalkyle d'environ 0,65. L'invention concerne également une charge pouvant être obtenue selon ces procédés. L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication de papier consistant à fournir une suspension aqueuse contenant des fibres cellulosiques, à introduire dans la suspension une charge à base d'argile et d'un dérivé de cellulose possédant un degré de substitution de groupes ioniques net d'environ 0,65, puis à déshydrater la suspension pour former une nappe ou une couche continue de papier. L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication de papier consistant à fournir une suspension aqueuse contenant des fibres cellulosiques, à introduire dans la suspension du kaolin et un dérivé de cellulose possédant un dérivé de substitution de groupes carboxyalkyle d'environ 0,65, puis à déshydrater la suspension pour former une nappe ou une couche continue de papier.
