Copolymeric binder for paperboard coatings with improved glueability and associated methods

摘要

Copolymeric binders for use in paperboard-coating compositions are provided, which exhibit lower gel content than the latices employed in conventional paperboard-coating compositions. Paperboard-coating compositions incorporating the copolymeric binders of the present invention exhibit improved glueability. More specifically, paperboard coated with the composition of the present invention requires less time to develop backside fiber tear in comparison to conventional paperboard, at no sacrifice to the remaining paperboard properties.
