Surface Sizing Aided Effect on the Printing Performance of Decorative Base Paper

Abstract:

With the development of estate and decoration industry, decorative paper become more and more popular, people's needs and requirements are also increasing. However, compared with imported decorative base paper, domestic decorative base paper have a lot of quality problems. In order to improve the performance of domestic decorative paper, surface sizing was used to improve the printing performance and final product quality of domestic decorative base paper in this study. Starch and styrene-acrylic emulsion (SAE) were used as the surface sizing agents for the surface treatment of decorative base paper by the German SUMET coating machine in this paper. Under the conditions of sizing roll pressure of 250N, sizing speed 9m/min, drying temperature and time of 100°C and 70s respective, the effects of metering roller type (No.40 and No.30) and different ratios of starch and SAE ratio (10:1, 15:1, 20:1, 25:1 and 30:1) on the decorative base paper printing performance were investigated in this paper. The optimal sizing conditions and formulation for decorative base paper were as follows: roll pressure 250N, sizing speed 9m/min, drying temperature and time of 100°C and 70s respective, No.30 metering roll, the ration of starch and SAE 20:1. Under this conditions, printing runnability of decorative base paper such as the tensile strength, smoothness were increase greatly and the pH value reached the national standard, the printability such as the color density, tone reproduction range were improved.
