In recent years, coated paper for printing has become more and more desirable for visualization of printed matter.Also, as printing speeds have increased, coated paper that can withstand this has become necessary. In this sense, rotary offset printing is an excellent printing method, or requires higher performance, such as excellent wet strength and blister resistance in addition to suitability for sheet-fed offset printing.Sheet-fed printing and rotary printing The difference between printing is that the latter requires instant drying of the printed ink, and this high temperature,
Paper with poor blister resistance in high-speed dryers is unsuitable as printing paper. The blister phenomenon occurs when the moisture contained in coated paper instantaneously turns into water vapor due to high temperatures, creating internal pressure. Possible countermeasures include: ■ increasing the internal bonding strength of the base paper, ■ improving the porosity of the coating layer, i.e., the air permeability, etc., etc. (■) needs to be addressed by selecting the pulp, beating, internal chemicals, etc. (2) may include the selection of latex used in the coating solution, addition of a cationizing agent, etc. However, each measure has its own problems. In particular, dealing with coating fluids often leads to deterioration of fluid properties and impairs operability. When considering the visualization of printed matter, it is important to have smoothness and high gloss in addition to opacity. There are several known methods for achieving smoothness. For example, effective methods include increasing the amount of filler added to the base paper, or applying an undercoat to the base paper. However, when attempting to take such measures when actually manufacturing coated paper, the accompanying drawbacks also appear, making it difficult to realize the desired coated paper. For example, the smoothness, gloss, printability, blister resistance, and coating layer strength of the final coated paper vary greatly depending on the coating method and liquid composition of the undercoat. The plate coating method, which is widely used in the production of coated paper, allows for high-speed thin layer coating and provides good coated surface smoothness, so it is often used for undercoating base paper. This coating method measures the excessive amount of coating liquid applied to the base paper in advance by applying considerable pressure to the coated surface with the tip of the blade, scraping off the coating liquid, and smoothing the coated surface. It is a feature. As a result, the coating layer is compressed, making it difficult to obtain a bulky coating structure with high air permeability. As a result, blister resistance is compromised. In plate coating methods, in order to obtain a bulky undercoat layer, flat pigments such as talc and delaminated clay are usually added to the coating solution, as well as cationizing agents and the like as additives. It will be done. However, the use of these materials deteriorates the liquid properties of the coating liquid. In particular, the viscosity directly under the blade at high shear speeds, that is, high shear viscosity, becomes high, and striffs and scratches are more likely to occur during coating, and furthermore, significant blade wear occurs, which has a significant impact on operability. It becomes a problem. In addition, the blade coating method is a so-called post-metering method in which excess coating liquid is applied onto the base paper in advance, and then the coating liquid is scraped off directly below the plate, so the coating liquid has a certain degree of water retention. Otherwise, water in the coating solution will be selectively absorbed into the base paper from the time the coating solution is applied onto the base paper until it reaches the plate, increasing the viscosity and concentration of the coating solution. Therefore, if coating is continued for a long time, the properties of the coating solution may change over time, and a stable product may no longer be obtained. Generally, roll transfer coaters such as gate roll coaters are widely used for undercoating base paper. This coating method is a so-called pre-metering method in which a pre-measured coating liquid is transferred onto the base paper using a metering roll and applied. Therefore, it has the advantage that it does not cause problems with liquid properties, streaks, scratches, etc. as with the blade coating method. However, when the coating liquid is transferred, a certain amount of pressure is applied to the coated surface, so the coating liquid penetrates into the base paper.
It is not possible to obtain a bulky coating layer structure, and the coated surface becomes rough when the roll to which the coating liquid has been transferred and the coated base paper are separated, making it difficult to obtain good smoothness as with plate coating methods. I can't do it. In addition, the coating amount is limited by pre-measurement,
Since the coating speed is also limited, it is not suitable for high coating amounts and high speed coating. In order to ensure surface strength during printing, it is necessary to increase the amount of binder in the undercoat layer, especially if the base paper is prime coated or has not been subjected to size press treatment. This tendency is particularly noticeable in the case of roll transfer coaters, as there is a limit to the amount of coating applied. For this reason, it is difficult to ensure blister resistance unless the binder system is modified, and even if some modification is made. Given the current situation, it is necessary to realize coated paper with good blister resistance, excellent white paper gloss, printing gloss, smoothness, and coating layer strength at low cost and with good operability, especially coated paper for rotary offset printing. Currently, it is not possible to obtain such a coating, and its realization is a major challenge for coated paper manufacturers.

The present invention has at least two or more coating layers mainly composed of pigment and adhesive, of which the coating layer in contact with the base paper has a copolymer latex with a gel content of 15 to 70% by weight. The coating liquid containing the base coat is applied using a curtain coating method, and the air permeability of the coating layer after undercoating is 100 mm.
This is a coated paper for rotary offset printing characterized by having a content of Hg or more. As described above, the present invention is characterized in that the coating layer that comes into contact with the base paper is coated by a curtain coating method, or the coating liquid containing pigment and binder as main components is sent to the coater head, and This is based on a curtain coating method in which a vertical curtain film is formed by dropping or applying pressure and is coated on the base paper. Regarding the production of general coated paper,
As stated in British Patent No. 1,279,817,
This has been done more commonly than ever before. However, in the production of multilayer coated paper for offset rotary printing, there is no paper that uses a curtain coating method for the undercoat layer. The present invention uses a curtain coating method to reduce the Kel content from 15 to 7.
By applying a coating liquid containing 0% by weight of copolymer latex to the undercoat of coating base paper for rotary offset printing, and making the air permeability of the coating layer 100 mmHg or more,
It has been discovered that it has excellent printability and has a great effect on improving blister resistance and blister resistance. In the present invention, the copolymer latex having a gel content of 15 to 70% by weight is particularly styrene-butadiene-based,
・It refers to acrylic, styrene, butadiene, and acrylic latex. The gel content here means that a latex film is prepared by drying at room temperature, the film is placed in approximately 200 to 800 times the strength of benzene, the film is left to dissolve for 48 hours, and after filtration with filter paper (#2), the filtrate is This is a value calculated from the amount of sol in the latex film after drying at ℃. As a method of using latex with a specific range of gel content, there is a method (gel content: 5 to 60% by weight) as shown in JP-A-62-162097. However, if the gel content of the latex used is less than 15% by weight, sufficient adhesive strength cannot be obtained. On the other hand, the upper limit of the gel amount is determined mainly from the viewpoint of anti-blister suitability, and even then, if it exceeds 70% by weight, not only the anti-blister effect is lost, but also the smoothing effect by subsequent calendering is reduced. The amount of latex with a specific gel content of the pigment used is 7% by weight based on the total pigment of the undercoat pigment coating layer.
30% by weight is preferable; if it is less than 7% by weight, other binders must be used in combination to maintain strength, and in such a case there is no effect on blister resistance, and even if it exceeds 30% by weight, the blister resistance will not improve. The effectiveness of aptitude will be reduced. Pigments for coated paper used in the present invention include kaolin, heavy and light calcium carbonate, clay, satin white,
Examples include talc, titanium oxide, aluminum hydroxide, silica, zinc oxide, activated clay, acid clay, silicon clay, lake, and plastic pigment. In the present invention, the binders used in combination with the undercoat layer or the topcoat layer include styrene/butadiene, styrene/acrylic, vinyl acetate/acrylic, ethylene/vinyl acetate, butadiene/methyl methacrylate, and vinegar. Bi・
Synthetic binders such as various copolymers such as butyl acrylate and polyvinyl alcohol, maleic anhydride/styrene copolymer, isobutyne/maleic anhydride copolymer, acrylic acid/methyl methacrylate copolymer, oxidized starch, etherified starch , esterified starch, enzyme-modified starch, and cold water-soluble starch obtained by flash-trying them.
Commonly known binders include natural binders such as casein and soybean protein. Also, if necessary,
Various commonly used auxiliary agents such as dispersants, thickeners, water retention agents, antifoaming agents, waterproofing agents, and colorants can be used as appropriate. Further, in the present invention, the air permeability of the undercoat layer is 100
It is characterized by being equal to or higher than mmHg. As mentioned above, it is generally said that in order to have blister resistance, it is better to make the coating layer porous, that is, to increase the air permeability. However, it is difficult to increase the air permeability of the undercoat layer using the plate coating method when binder is blended to the extent that the strength of the coating layer is sufficiently satisfied. The general air permeability of coated paper when a coating liquid is applied onto base paper using the blade coating method is 60 mmHgJ, depending on the amount of coating, or when coating on both sides at 8 g/rri or more: It is under J. In addition, the air knife coating method, which is relatively easy to obtain air permeability, cannot obtain sufficient smoothness due to the air knife pattern, impairing printability after topcoating, and is not suitable for high-speed coating. In addition to the quality characteristics, there are also negative aspects in terms of operation. The curtain coating method, which is a feature of the present invention, differs from the blade coating method and the air knife coating method, in that the coating solution is sent to the coater head through a liquid outlet at the tip of the head.
From now on, it will be called "lip". ), and because it is a pre-metering method that is not measured after coating as with a blade or air knife, there is less penetration of the coating liquid into the base paper due to pressure during measurement. , there is no unevenness on the surface of the coating layer due to scraping of the coating solution. Therefore,
When the coating liquid is applied to the base paper using this coating method, a bulky coating layer structure is obtained, the air permeability is higher than that of the blade coating method, and the coating layer or the surface of the base paper is uniformly coated. do. Furthermore, if the air permeability of blade-coated paper and curtain-coated paper are the same, the smoothness of curtain-coated paper is better; The gloss after the topcoat will deteriorate even when the blister resistance is affected.
It is thought that coated paper with excellent smoothness and coating layer strength can be obtained. In addition, blister resistance generally deteriorates as the amount of coating increases, but with curtain coating, the bulkiness and high air permeability of the coating layer, which are characteristics of the curtain coating method, improves blister resistance during thick coating. Deterioration is suppressed and it is very effective even in high coating weight applications. Furthermore, the curtain coating method enables high-speed coating comparable to that of the blade coating method, and does not apply high shear stress to the coating solution, making it possible to increase the concentration and viscosity of the coating solution. Compared to coating methods, it has considerable advantages in terms of operability. In the present invention, the method of forming a vertical curtain film of a coating liquid by a curtain coating method in which a coating liquid mainly composed of pigments and adhesives is applied as an undercoat to a base paper is not particularly limited. It also includes methods using pressure. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a coating device for applying an undercoat to coated paper for rotary offset printing, showing an embodiment of the present invention. A coating liquid 1 whose main components are a pigment and a binder prepared in advance is sent from a coating liquid storage tank 2 to a coater head 4 by a metering pump 3. At this time, since the amount of the coating liquid sent is proportional to the amount of the final product coated and the rate/speed during coating, it is necessary to control the amount of the coating liquid sent to the niter head 4 with precision. There is. Therefore, as the metering pump 3, a variable flow type non-pulsating constant flow pump is suitable. The inside of the coater head 4 consists of manifolds 5a, 5b, and slits 6, each of which is finished with high precision. The supplied coating liquid 1 is filled in the manifold 5a, and further sent to the manifold 5b, where the pressure distribution in the IJ force direction is made uniform.Finally, in the slit 6, the coating liquid has a pressure distribution and a flow velocity distribution in the middle direction. is uniformized and flows out from the lip, forming a vertical curtain film 7. Furthermore, edge guides 8a and 8b are provided to maintain the formed vertical curtain film 7 in a stable state. The vertical curtain film 7 formed by the coating liquid 1 comes into contact with the continuously running base paper 9 and is coated on the base paper 9. Here, the edge guides 8a and 8b are provided so as not to exceed the width of the coater head 4 and further to extend beyond the width of the base paper 9, and the vertical curtain film is formed beyond the width of the base paper 9. The coating liquid 1 flowing down over the width of the base paper 9 is collected in a liquid receiving tank 10, returned to the coating liquid storage tank 2, and then coated again. The reason why the vertical curtain film 7 is formed to extend beyond the width of the base paper 9 is to prevent thick coating of the coating film at both ends of the vertical curtain film 7. Continuously running base paper 9 and vertical curtain film 7
The airflow guided to the base paper 9 is blocked on both sides of the contact area (hereinafter referred to as "coating area") with the base paper 9, so that the vertical curtain film 7 can be prevented from being disturbed by the circulation of air around the curtain. Wind shielding plates 11a and ↑1b are provided to ensure that the wind reaches . In addition, the conveyance direction of the base paper 9 is changed by a roller 12 just before the coating section, so that the influence of the air flow guided to the base paper 9 on the coating section is minimized. . Formed vertical curtain film 7
In order to coat the vertical curtain film 7 in a stable state, a certain height from the base paper 9 to the lip is required, but in this embodiment, it is also possible to control the height, and it is possible to The suitable height is 60-180mm. Preferably 80 to 150 mm, more preferably 90 to 1
20mm is appropriate. Even when coating is interrupted, such as when the base paper 9 is cut, the coating liquid 1 is collected in the liquid receiving tank 1°. In this embodiment, the coating liquid is not subjected to external effects such as high shear stress during the coating process, and since it is a pre-metering method, water is selectively absorbed into the base paper and the coating liquid becomes highly concentrated. Therefore, even if the coating solution is recycled and reused, the composition of the coating solution does not change over time, making it possible to produce stable base paper coated with an undercoat and reducing the coating speed. We can expect similar effects even if the number of people increases. In addition, since the amount of coating liquid is measured in advance and then coated on the base paper, the amount is the minimum necessary, and there is no need to supply excessive coating liquid as with blade or air knife coating methods. The supply amount will be 1/'2 or less. In the curtain coating method, in which a vertical curtain film is formed by free-falling or pressurizing the coating liquid and is coated on the base paper, the coating amount is determined by the running speed of the base paper 9 and the supply amount of the coating liquid 1 per unit time. In theory, the minimum amount of liquid to be supplied is the amount at which it is possible to stably form a vertical curtain film, and it is an extremely small amount. and 1000~1200 m/m
It is also possible to coat at a coating speed of 1.5 in., and in the curtain coating method, it is possible to obtain a bulky coating layer as described above, so it is possible to apply a low coating amount, that is, to reduce the It is possible to keep it low. This also makes it possible to reduce the drying load at the same time. It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified in various ways. In the embodiment described above, the width of the vertical curtain film formed was larger than the width of the base paper 9, but this was to prevent an increase in the amount of coating at both ends of the coating layer. Vertical curtain The width of the membrane may be made to match the width of the base paper 9, or it may be made slightly smaller than this. After the base paper has been coated with an undercoat, it goes through a drying process and is then coated with a topcoat in the same manner as in the past. There are no particular limitations on the method for applying the topcoat coating solution to the base paper after the undercoat has been applied, and various plate coaters, roll transfer coaters, air knife coaters, coaters, lot plate coaters, short dwell coaters, and curtain coaters can be used. Although it is possible to use various conventional coating devices such as , die coater, etc., a plate coater is particularly preferable when considering the final property of printing suitability. Topcoating is usually done after the base paper has been coated with an undercoat and has gone through a drying process, but the base paper coated with the base coat can be directly coated with a topcoat coating liquid using the various coating devices mentioned above without the drying process. This also includes the case of a coating method using so-called wet-on-wet coating. This method simplifies the process because it does not require a drying process for each coating, and it dries the coating layers all at once, making it possible to further reduce the drying load. This results in significant advantages in terms of surface area. The base paper coated with the undercoat and topcoat is dried in the same manner as in the past, wound up, and then finished through calendering. The equipment used for the calender treatment is not particularly limited, and various calender devices such as a super calender, a cross calender, and a soft calender can be used.
