Abstract

Abstract An improved paper-coating composition which contains, per 100 parts by weight of a finely divided pigment, from 5 to 25 parts by weight of a copolymer A, in the form of an aqueous dispersion, as a binder, and from 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of a copolymer B, containing (a) from 20 to 70% by weight of copolymerized units of hydroxy-C2-C4-alkyl acrylates or hydroxy-C2-C4-alkyl methacrylates, (b) from 10 to 50% by weight of copolymerized units of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid and/or monoesters of maleic acid and (c) from 5 to 50% by weight of copolymerized units of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, C1-C4-alkyl acrylates of C1-C4-alkyl methacrylates, or vinyl esters of saturated C2-C4-carboxylic acids as the co-binder, with or without from 0.1 to 2.0 parts by weight of an optical brightener which is activated by the co-binder. The paper-coating composition has high water retention.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 183 words
A paper coating composition which contains, 100 parts by weight of a finely divided pigment, from 5 to 25 parts by weight of a copolymer A having a glass transition temperature of from -40° to +50° C., in the form of an aqueous dispersion, and from 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of one or more high molecular weight-containing copolymers B, wherein the improvement comprises using, as the copolymer B a copolymer having a K value of 60-140, which is prepared by solution copolymerization, and which contains: (a) from 20 to 70% by weight of copolymerized units of hydroxy-C 2 -C 4 -alkyl acrylates or hydroxy-C 2 -C 4 -alkyl methacrylates; (b) from 10 to 50% by weight of copolymerized units of compounds selected from the group comprising acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid and monoesters of maleic acid; and (c) from 5 to 50% by weight of copolymerized units of compounds selected from the group comprising acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, C 1 -C 4 -alkyl acrylates or C 1 -C 4 -alkyl methacrylates, or vinyl esters of saturated C 2 -C 4 -carboxylic acids.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 183 words
A paper coating composition which contains, 100 parts by weight of a finely divided pigment, from 5 to 25 parts by weight of a copolymer A having a glass transition temperature of from -40° to +50° C., in the form of an aqueous dispersion, and from 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of one or more high molecular weight-containing copolymers B, wherein the improvement comprises using, as the copolymer B a copolymer having a K value of 60-140, which is prepared by solution copolymerization, and which contains: (a) from 20 to 70% by weight of copolymerized units of hydroxy-C 2 -C 4 -alkyl acrylates or hydroxy-C 2 -C 4 -alkyl methacrylates; (b) from 10 to 50% by weight of copolymerized units of compounds selected from the group comprising acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid and monoesters of maleic acid; and (c) from 5 to 50% by weight of copolymerized units of compounds selected from the group comprising acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, C 1 -C 4 -alkyl acrylates or C 1 -C 4 -alkyl methacrylates, or vinyl esters of saturated C 2 -C 4 -carboxylic acids.
