| Abstract | Coating color and coated paper were produced by using different five kinds of SIB latexes, PCC, GCC and Kaolin varied from five formulations. CMC was just used as a binder in three formulations. The results show that pigment had major effects on the properties of coated paper, especially GCC, it made bigger contributions to dry pick velocity than other two pigments. Results also appear that coating improved the smoothness of paper obviously. Three main variables of S/B latexes included gel content, particle size and glass transition temperature. It clear that three of them have obvious effects on the properties of coated paper through this experiment. Five properties of coated paper were measured in this experiment including gloss, dry pick velocity, PPS compressibility, ink absorption and print gloss. Results show that increasing glass transition temperature of latex decreased dry pick velocity but increased gloss and ink absorption. Results also show that increasing the particle size of latex increased ink absorption but decreased dry pick velocity and print gloss. In terms of gel content, results show that increasing the gel content increased dry pick velocity and print gloss. |
