Definitions

  • Binders and mineral materials are among the main constituents of paper coating colours.
  • the former generally latex-based and in the form of aqueous suspensions or dispersions, provide the necessary adhesion and cohesion between the elements forming the paper coating.
  • the latter commonly calcium carbonate, may provide improvements in paper quality, notably relative to its optical properties.
  • self-binding pigment particles refers to distinct, solid particles, formed of mineral material and binder that are intimately bound to one another.
  • the internal cohesion forces are such as to provide the self-binding pigment particles with excellent mechanical stability.
  • Such particles may be directly implemented in a variety of applications .
  • Self-binding pigment particles are prepared by a process implementing at least one step of grinding mineral materials in the presence of binder, where grinding refers to an operation leading to a reduction in the particle size; the mineral materials in the self- binding pigment particles have a smaller diameter than the initial mineral material used to produce them.
  • Such self-binding pigment particles and variations thereon are described in a number of documents, including WO 2006 008657, WO 2006 128814, and WO 2008 139292. It has generally been remarked that the use of a "coupling agent", such as an ethylene- acrylic acid PoligenTM WE 4, in addition to the mineral material and binder during the self-binding pigment particle production process, provides for improved self-binding character in the formed pigment particles.
  • binders including binders of natural origin such as starch, proteins such as casein, cellulose and cellulosic derivatives such as ethylhydroxyethyl cellulose (EHEC) and/or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and synthetic binders such as polyvinyl acetate (PVA), acrylic, acrylic ester, acrylonitrile, styrene or styrene- acrylic binders, at the carbonate surface.
  • binders may be in the form of a solution, a suspension or an emulsion, such as Hycar acrylic emulsions manufactured by LubricolTM.
  • WO 2006 008657 described a process co-grinding inorganic materials in the presence of binder in an aqueous environment.
  • the self-binding character is evaluated based on a crushing test, performed on tablets formed of the co-ground material.
  • four of these implement a binder as well as PoligenTM WE 4 (commercialised by BASFTM).
  • Only examples 5 and 6 lead to final solids contents of the self-binding pigment particle suspension of greater than 50% by weight; to obtain a workable suspension viscosity at these solids, it is necessary to add a wetting agent and a dispersing agent.
  • WO 2006 128814 refers to the impact of such self-binding pigment particles (called “polymer-pigment hybrid”) on the properties of paper in which it is applied. Notably, an improvement of the optical properties, such as opacity, is observed.
  • This document describes the formation of such self-binding pigment particles by grinding calcium carbonate, in an aqueous environment, with a styrene-acrylate binder as well as PoligenTM WE 4.
  • none of the resulting suspensions of self-binding pigment particles obtained have a solids content of greater than 30% by weight.
  • WO 2008 139292 describes a process implementing a step of grinding a pigmentary material in the presence of binder, followed by the addition of a specified inverse emulsion; examples implementing PoligenTM WE 4 in addition to binder are ground with calcium carbonate at 20% solids content. Concentrating this suspension leads to a 40% solids content slurry. Improving the self-binding pigment particle production process remains of interest to the skilled man, and in his continued effort to do so, the Applicant has developed a process to produce self-binding pigment particles comprising the following steps:
  • a copolymer is added in the form of an aqueous solution, said copolymer resulting from the polymerisation of:
  • At least one other monomer that is an acrylic ester, a preferred acrylic ester being ethyl acrylate, and/or an unsaturated amide, a preferred unsaturated amide being acrylamide.
  • an anionic monomer is a monomer which, when introduced into an aqueous environment in the form of a monomer or as a polymerised monomer in a polymer, undergoes a dissociation to become anionic.
  • the Applicant believes that the lower the TOC value of the suspension's aqueous phase, the greater the adhesive forces within the self-binding pigment particles suspended therein.
  • the low TOC values suggest that only small quantities of binder, surfactants (serving to stabilise this binder) and coupling agent remain present in the aqueous phase. The result is that the process water can be reused with relative ease, which represents another advantage of the present invention.
  • the process of the invention may lead directly to a high solids suspension of self- binding pigment particles. Indeed, the process of the invention makes it possible to avoid a mandatory concentration step.
  • concentrating refers to a step that increases the solids content of a suspension.
  • a step may, for example, implement a filtration, centrifugation or any other means of mechanically concentrating.
  • the process of the invention implements the above copolymer such that said monomers are present in said copolymer in the following % by weight relative to the total copolymer weight:
  • said anionic monomer is selected from among acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and mixtures thereof.
  • said oxyalkylated monomer is a monomer of Formula (I):
