Abstract
Abstract The process of coating a paper base with a hot melt coating composition which is comprised of at least 50 weight percent of a coating pigment or a mixture thereof dispersed in an undiluted, heat extrudable binder (e.g., a normally solid thermoplastic resin), said binder comprising less than 50 weight percent of the total weight of the coating composition. For example, a publication paper is prepared by coating an uncoated, prefinished, ground wood paper on both sides with a coating composition that comprises a normally solid ethylene polymer or copolymer and a clay pigment wherein the amount of pigment is greater than 50% by weight of said coating. The total coating weight (both sides) is less than 15 grams per square meter (gms/M2).
