Stock Preparations for the Opacity Improvement of Printing Paper

인쇄용지의 불투명도 향상을 위한 지료조성

This study was carried out to improve the opacity of printing paper. Conventional filler loading enhanced the opacity of paper, but subsequently caused reduction of paper strength of paper. We try to seek a new filler loading method so-called beater loading that enhances opacity of paper as well as sustained desire strength. In our experiment, comparing to direct loading method, the beater loading method enhanced 0.8% of opacity and 0.2% of brightness. This also decreased the rates of strength reduction of paper. Therefore, the results obtained in this study indicated that beater loading was a very effective method to improve the opacity of paper while not to decreased so much of paper strength.
