Aqueous pigment dispersion for light-shielding paper

摘要

There is provided an aqueous pigment dispersion for a light-shielding paper comprising a pigment component, an aqueous resin and water, wherein the pigment component contains 2 to 50% by weight of graphite in which at least 80% of the total number of particles thereof has the maximum diameter of 1 to 30 mu m, 2 to 60% by weight of a colored pigment, and 10 to 90% by weight of a white pigment, and each specific gravity of the colored pigment and the white pigment is 2.0 to 6.0 g/cm3. The pigment dispersion of the present invention can provide light-shielding properties by rendering coating onto a paper base material and also can provide a light-shielding paper which facilitates recycling and has a high quality when recycling of waste paper is effected.
