SWELLED STARCH-LATEX COMPOSITIONS USED IN PAPERMAKING Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC D21H17/10 D21H17/28 D21H17/33 D21H17/69 

FIELD: papermaking industry.

SUBSTANCE: paper is produced from matrix obtained from composition containing pulp fibers, filler particles and retention system for said filler based on composition comprising complex of granules of ionic non-destructed swelled starch and ionic latex in aqueous carrier. Said composition contains from 60% to 95% by weight of said granules and form 40% to 5% by weight of latex of total 100 wt% on the basis of total content of solid substances of granules and latex. Granules are latex particles carriers in said complex. Processing of carrier involves producing composition of swelled starch-latex prepared in the presence of combined-action admixture or in the absence thereof, and adding said composition to filler suspension for producing of paper having improved retention of filler and allows paper to be produced, which contains filler wherein filler admixture produces minimal negative effect upon strength characteristics. Starch-latex composition may be used with compositions free of wood or with wood-containing compositions. Processed filler is readily retained in paper web in the process of paper making, improves dehydration and creates well-formed sheets. Sheets manufactured with the use of processed filler have higher adhesion strength and tensile strength as compared to sheets containing filler processed with the use of only swelled starch or only latex.

EFFECT: improved quality of paper produced with the use of starch-latex composition.
