A filler treatment process enhances the fixation of anionic latex on filler in a short time. Anionic polymer dispersions (latex) are added to papermaking filler slurries at ambient temperature and then mixed with water of temperature higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the latex use
A filler treatment process enhances the fixation of anionic latex on filler in a short time. Anionic polymer dispersions (latex) are added to papermaking filler slurries at ambient temperature and then mixed with water of temperature higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the latex used. The anionic latexes applied by this process are totally and irreversibly fixed or bound onto the filler particles and the treated filler particle agglomerate to form an aggregated filler slurry which is stable over time. The latex-treated filler slurry can be added to papermaking furnishes at any point prior to the headbox of the paper machine or stored for later use. The latex-treated filler slurry improves filler retention, only slightly reduces sheet strength and improves sizing performance.

1. A process of treating a filler comprising: forming a mixture of an aqueous slurry of particulate filler and an aqueous anionic latex of anionic latex resin solids, andmixing the mixture with hot water at a temperature higher than the Tg of the latex to irreversibly bind said anionic latex resin solids to surfaces of said particulate filler by adsorption and form aggregates of filler particles having said anionic latex resin solids irreversibly bound thereto, said particulate filler having an average particle size of 1 to 30 μm and being selected from the group consisting of kaolin clay, ground calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium sulphate, talc and mixtures of two or more thereof. 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein said filler has an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm. 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein the latex is in an amount to provide 1 to 100 kg latex/ton filler, based on the dry weight of latex resin solids and filler. 4. A process according to claim 3, wherein said latex is a dispersion of an acrylic polymer, said polymer having a Tg of −3 to 50° C. and an average particle size of 30 to 200 nm. 5. A process according to claim 4, wherein said acrylic polymer is selected from the group consisting of n-butyl acrylate-acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers and n-butyl acrylate-styrene copolymers. 6. An aqueous filler composition comprising aggregates consisting essentially of filler particles of a particulate filler with anionic latex resin solids fixed thereon by irreversible binding of said anionic latex resin solids to surfaces of said particulate filler by adsorption, in an aqueous vehicle, said particulate filler having an average particle size of 1 to 30 μm and being selected from the group consisting of kaolin clay, ground calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium sulphate, talc and mixtures of two or more thereof. 7. A filler composition according to claim 6, wherein said filler has an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm. 8. A filler composition according to claim 7, wherein said latex resin solids are in an amount to provide 1 to 100 kg latex/ton filler, based on the dry weight of latex resin solids and filler. 9. A filler composition according to claim 6, wherein said latex resin solids have a Tg of −3 to 50° C. and an average particle size of 30 to 200 nm. 10. A treated filler comprising aggregates consisting essentially of filler particles of a particulate filler with anionic latex resin solids fixed thereon by irreversible binding of said anionic latex resin solids to surfaces of said particulate filler by adsorption, said particulate filler having an average particle size of 1 to 30 μm and being selected from the group consisting of kaolin clay, ground calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium sulphate, talc and mixtures of two or more thereof. 11. A treated filler according to claim 10, wherein said filler has an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm. 12. A treated filler according to claim 11, wherein said latex resin solids are in an amount to provide 1 to 100 kg latex/ton filler, based on the dry weight of latex resin solids and filler. 13. A treated filler according to claim 10, wherein said latex resin solids have a Tg of −3 to 50° C. and an average particle size of 30 to 200 nm. 14. A pulp furnish comprising pulp fibres, and aggregates consisting essentially of filler particles of a particulate filler with anionic latex resin solids irreversibly fixed thereon by adsorption of said anionic latex resin solids on surfaces of said particulate filler at a temperature higher than the Tg of the anionic latex resin solids, in an aqueous vehicle, said particulate filler having an average particle size of 1 to 30 μm and being selected from the group consisting of kaolin clay, ground calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium sulphate, talc and mixtures of two or more thereof. 15. A pulp furnish according to claim 14, wherein said filler has an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm. 16. A pulp furnish according to claim 15, wherein said latex resin solids are in an amount to provide 1 to 100 kg latex/ton filler, based on the dry weight of latex resin solids and filler. 17. A pulp furnish according to claim 14, wherein said latex resin solids have a Tg of −3 to 50° C. and an average particle size of 30 to 200 nm. 18. A paper product formed of pulp fibres and aggregates consisting essentially of filler particles of a particulate filler, wherein said particulate filler has anionic latex resin solids irreversibly fixed thereon by adsorption of said anionic latex resin solids on surfaces of said particulate filler at a temperature higher than the Tg of the anionic latex resin solids, wherein said filler is a particulate filler selected from the group consisting of kaolin clay, ground calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium sulphate, talc and mixtures of two or more thereof, said particulate filler having an average particle size of 1 to 30 μm, said latex resin solids being in an amount to provide 1 to 100 kg latex/ton filler, based on the dry weight of latex resin solids and filler particles; and said latex resin solids have a Tg of −3 to 50° C. and an average particle size of 30 to 200 nm, and having an increased internal bond strength as compared with a corresponding paper product having said particulate filler but without said anionic latex resin solids. 19. A pulp furnish according to claim 14, wherein said particulate filler comprises precipitated calcium carbonate. 20. A paper according to claim 18, wherein said particulate filler comprises precipitated calcium carbonate.
