• Calendering: Calendering is a process used to apply and smooth paper coatings.
• Blade Coating: Blade coating is a method for applying paper coatings using a blade to meter the coating.
• Gloss: Paper coatings can be formulated to provide different levels of gloss or matte finish.
• Curtain Coating: Curtain coating involves applying the coating as a free-falling curtain onto the paper web.
• Printability: Paper coatings enhance the printability of paper by providing a uniform, smooth surface for ink adhesion.
• Additives: Various additives are used in paper coatings to improve properties like printability, gloss, and rheology.
• Air Knife Coating: Air knife coating uses a jet of air to meter and apply the paper coating.
• Binders: Binders are used in paper coatings to bind the pigments and other components together.
• Opacity: Paper coatings improve the opacity of paper by providing a uniform, opaque surface.
• Pigments: Paper coatings contain pigments to provide opacity and smoothness.
