The invention discloses a preparation method of a surface
sizing agent. The preparation method comprises the following steps that firstly, methyl
styrene,
acrylic monomers, cationic monomers and an initiating agent are mixed to be uniform to form a mixed
monomer; secondly, 10% of the mixed
monomer obtained in the first step is added into a four-opening flask, the temperature is raised to 80-140 DEG C, residual mixed
monomer is added dropwise after a reaction is carried out for 5-20 minutes, and then the temperature of 80-140 DEG C is kept for 0.5-1.5 hours; thirdly,
acetic acid is added, and at the temperature of 80-140 DEG C, a reaction is carried out for 20-60 minutes; fourthly, preheated deionized water with the temperature being 80-100 DEG C is added, a reaction continues to be carried out for 0.5-2 hours, and the mixture is cooled to 25-35 DEG C,
zircon salt is added, the mixture is stirred to be uniform, filtering is carried out, and the surface
sizing agent is obtained. According to the surface
sizing agent, the Cobb value can be greatly reduced, the surface sizing agent can be quickly cured and is basically cured as soon as the surface sizing agent is loaded to a
machine, and the
surface strength of body paper can be greatly improved under the situation that the dosage of the sizing agent is not changed.
