The invention relates to the technical field of
papermaking, in particular to a lightly coated craft paper and a production method thereof. The lightly coated craft paper comprises a
surface layer, acore layer, a bottom layer, a front surface
sizing layer and a back surface
sizing layer, the front surface
sizing layer and the back surface sizing layer are located on the surface of the
surface layer and the surface of the bottom layer respectively, a pre-
coating layer is arranged on the front surface sizing layer, and a
surface coating layer is arranged on the pre-
coating layer. The productionmethod of the lightly coated craft paper comprises the following steps: raw paper preparing, surface sizing,
coating and
drying. In the coating process, novel latex namely
styrene acrylate latex or
polyethylene ethyl ester latex is added into a
surface coating paint; the ester group reaction can improve the opening degree of the coating, the ink absorbing performance of paper is improved; in addition, the covering property of the coating can be improved, the smoothness and
compressibility of finished paper are improved, the problems of white
exposure and printing floating are reduced, printedpaper products are not prone to yellowing, the color is brighter and more exquisite, meanwhile, the whiteness of the finished paper can be improved, the use amount of bleaching chemicals is reduced,and the production cost is reduced.
