摘要:
Paper coating composition comprising an engineered kaolin pigment containing stacks and platelets of unground coarse particles where greater than 96% by weight is less than 5 microns, of which some kaolinite books or stacks are concentrated in the greater than 1 micron size fraction; 88% to 95% by weight is less than 2 microns; 65% to 85% by weight is less than 1 micron; and 15% to 25% by weight is less than 0.25 micron. A first embodiment comprises particles with a shape factor Ad between 7 and 9 which represents a significant number of stacks and some platelets. A second embodiment comprises particles with a shape factor of 11 or 12 which represents the presence of some stacks with a majority of platelets. The kaolin clay pigments form clay-water slurries of 69% solids or greater. As a coating, the composition gives a G. E. brightness between 88 and 94. The engineered pigment is processed so that the desired shape factor is met, which shape factor is equated to the aspect ratio or morphology of the pigment.

摘要:
A paper coating pigment manufactured from kaolin crude containing minor amounts of minerals is used in lightweight coated and ultra-lightweight coated applications. The pigments comprise a phyllosilicate assemblage of minerals that yield a final pigment MgO content ranging between 0.04 to 0.3 weight percent and a K2O content ranging between 0.12 and 0.8 weight percent based on the dry weight of the kaolin crude. The mica in the pigment product is 1.0% to 6.7% by weight, and smectite is 1.2% to 9.1% by weight of the kaolin. The presence of these weight percentages can be identified by a shape factor of 15 or greater. The viscous clay content of the feed to produce the pigment product is between 70 and 100 weight percent based on the dry weight of the kaolin clay. The pigment has a shape factor ranging between 35 and 60 or greater, and greater than 80% by weight of the particle are less than 2 microns, and greater than 12% are less than 0.25 microns.

摘要:
A coating composition for paper and other substrates, particularly mechanical papers such as lightweight coated (LWC) paper, comprises an aqueous suspension of a particulate pigment together with a binder, wherein the particulate pigment comprises: (a) a first component which is a precipitated calcium carbonate consisting predominantly of aragonitic or rhombohedral particle shapes or of aragonitic and rhombohedral particle shapes in a weight ratio of between around 40:60 and about 60:40 (e.g. about 50:50) aragonitic:rhombohedral, and a second component which is a processed particulate hydrous kaolin clay having a shape factor greater than or equal to about 25 and a steepness greater than or equal to about 20; or (b) a first component which is a fine particulate calcium carbonate consisting predominantly of particles having a generally spherical particle shape, and a second component which is a processed particulate hydrous kaolin clay having a shape factor greater than or equal to about 45 and a mean equivalent particle diameter (d50) less than about 0.5 μm; or (c) a first component which is a precipitated calcium carbonate consisting predominantly of aragonitic and rhombohedral particle shapes in a weight ratio of between about 40:60 and about 60:40 (e.g. about 50:50) aragonitic:rhombohedral, and a second component which is a processed particulate hydrous kaolin clay having a shape factor less than about 25.
