COMPOSITION CONTAINING EXPANDABLE MICROSPHERES AND IONIC COMPOUND, AND USE AND PRODUCTION METHODS THEREOF Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C08J7/00 C08J7/04 C08J9/224 D21H21/54 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: composition contains at least one expandable microsphere and at least one ionic compound which is cationic. The composition also contains a certain set of cellulose fibres. The ionic compound is selected from a group comprising a polyamine, polyethyleneimine, colloid and sol. The colloid or sol contains at least one member from a group comprising silica, alumina, tin oxide, zirconium dioxide, antimony oxide, iron oxide and rare-earth metal oxides. The outer surface of the expandable microsphere, which is anionic, is not covalently bonded with an ionic compound. The composition has electrokinetic potential greater than or equal to 0 mV at pH of approximately 9.0 or less with ionic strength between 10^-6 mol and 0.1 mol. The composition is prepared by bringing into contact at least one expandable microsphere and at least one ionic compound to form a mixture. The mixture is centrifuged to form a first phase containing at least one ionic compound and a second phase containing a particle. A solution containing a certain amount of cellulose fibre is also added. A low-density paper or cardboard base and article which is a cardboard container with good operational characteristics is obtained. The weight of the article is equal or less than 1 oz. The paper or cardboard base has Sheffield smoothness less than 250 units measured using a TARR1 T 538 om-1 technique, and colour speckling 2nd cyan not greater than 6. The base has Parker Print surface roughness from approximately 1.0 to 0.5, measured using a TARRI T 555 om-99 technique.

EFFECT: improved properties of the composition.
