Abstract
The work presented in this paper is focussed on study of structure and properties of coating layers based on natural pigments (ground calcium carbonate and clay) and butadiene acrylonitrile latex as binder in correlation with functional properties of the final coated paper. It is quantified the influence of binder content and pigment type on the structural and liquids penetration properties of coating layer. The obtained results confirm that by increasing of binder content in the coating formulations a reduced efficiency of light-scattering and increased roughness for coated surfaces is obtained. At the high binder amounts (over 15 pph), the coating layer porosity is reduced and as result a lower liquids penetration in the coated papers is obtained.
