METHOD FOR PRODUCING PULP AND PAPER WITH CALCIUM CARBONATE FILLER

A method is described for attaining high levels of loading of calcium carbonate fillers in the lumens of wood pulp fibres. The pulp is pretreated with a cationic polymer prior to being impregnated with the filler. Different conditions of pH and temperature are specified depending on whether the fill...

Zusammenfassung:A method is described for attaining high levels of loading of calcium carbonate fillers in the lumens of wood pulp fibres. The pulp is pretreated with a cationic polymer prior to being impregnated with the filler. Different conditions of pH and temperature are specified depending on whether the filler is a precipitated calcium carbonate or a ground calcium carbonate. The lumenloaded pulps are used to make novel products with advantages in higher filler retention and sheet strength over conventionally made papers.
