It will be understood that a coating with high water content will require a longer drying time, allowing the coating to penetrate or be absorbed by the paperboard resulting in a decreased amount of silica actually deposited onto the surface. In contrast, a coating with a low water content will dry more quickly furnishing a coating with a higher amount of silica since the silica is not absorbed by the paperboard.
  • the temperature of the paperboard also has an effect on the drying process wherein the coating on a high-temperature substrate will cure more quickly, inhibiting or reducing silica particle absorption.

  • the resulting density of silica particles may also be modified by modulating the size of the silica particles. Smaller silica particle sizes are more prone to being absorbed by the substrate in comparison to larger particle sizes.
  • the lightness of the colour of the substrate also has an effect on the drying speed. A darker-coloured substrate will require a greater amount of silica to be deposited thereon.
