Abstract
Abstract Erasable coatings for xerography paper comprise a pigment such as calcium carbonate in a binder such as an aqueous emulsion of an acrylic polymer. The erasability of the coating is improved by replacing at least 15 wt % of the binder with a polyalkane or (preferably) polyalkene wax, such as an aqueous emulsion of a polyolefin.
