Key Features of Lubricant Improves Coater Run Ability
- These are used to improve the coater run ability, give release properties to the sheet, reduce dusting, reduce picking and improve gloss. As a part of their function, they may alter the archeological properties of the coating mixture to match the coating process requirement.
- Lubricants are used in the coating formulation for developing the lubricating effect between the coating color, application unit and the paper.
- Normally, these are Calcium Stearate based product.
- The lubricant also improves the smoothness of the coating surface and so also controls the dusting.
- Lubricants will improve the life of the applicator blade/rod and there by reduces the problem of streaking at the time of coating application.
- To develop in-soluble character to the binder by developing hydrophobic.
- The cross-linking of the -OH and -COOH groups of the binders.
- Improves the curing rate of the coating and gives the Wet rub resistance to the coated surface of the paper/paperboard.
- IGT of the coated paper is improved.
- Dusting and miss-registration problem during the printing process is minimized to a greater extent.
