| Abstract | Now days, LWC has been a hot topic for Chinese paper industry. With fast development, both the quality and technology have increased fast. In the coating technology, the thickeners and co-binders have a great influence on the final coating quality. The objectives of thesis are: 1. Comparisons of different substances chosen function as thickeners and co-binders. 2. To research how the chosen substances function as a carrier for OBA.3. To compare their effects on final coated paper properties. CMC, Soy protein, starch and PVOH are used as main binders and thickeners to make comparison. The composition of pigments or main binder kept constant in all the formulations, while the dosage and type of Starch, soy protein, CMC and PVOH were varied according to the formulation. Properties of the coating colors and coated paper properties were tested. Final conclusions and recommendations are given as PVOH: best activator for OBA, better surface properties, but higher price. Higher viscosity brand of PVOH, worse surface properties, higher ink absorption. CMC: good co-binder and effective adjuster for water retention, good OBA carrier, lower price. Starch: better viscosity activator, good OBA carrier, lower ink absorption. Soy protein: good water holding capacity, higher Pick Strength. |
