TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of papermaking process, in particular to a preparation method of high bulk cash register thermal sensitive base paper. BACKGROUND
[0002] The high bulk cash register thermal sensitive base paper is mainly used for printing transaction details of cash registers in supermarkets, shopping malls and the like after thermal sensitive coating processing. The paper has particularly high requirements for bulk, and also has relatively high requirements for dry and wet strength, surface strength, color developing performance, image preservation performance and smoothness. Compared with ordinary thermal sensitive base paper, the high bulk cash register thermal sensitive base paper has the following characteristics: 1) high bulk. In light-weight production, the high bulk can be realized at a lower paper basis weight, and the dry and wet strength, surface strength, color developing performance and image preservation performance are high, which can meet the requirements of the cash register thermal sensitive paper. This also means that the low basis weight high bulk thermal sensitive paper can replace the ordinary high basis weight thermal sensitive paper, and the profit is considerable. 2) high yield of chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp, low production cost, and realization of win-win between production enterprises and customers.
[0003] CN202211482606.4 discloses a manufacturing method of super-high bulk thermal sensitive paper. The method actually records the method for preparing the base paper, and does not give the quality technical performance indicators of the prepared base paper. It is unknown whether the base paper meets the quality requirements. Most importantly, no specific functional chemical additives are added in the preparation of the base paper. The dry and wet strength of the prepared base paper is poor, the paper is frequently broken during thermal coating processing, and the image preservation performance of the thermal sensitive paper is poor. The bulk of the prepared base paper does not meet the requirements of the thermal coating processor. At present, there is a large demand for such high bulk base paper products on the market, but the dry and wet strength and surface strength of the existing ordinary thermal sensitive base paper are low. During thermal processing, the paper is prone to breaking, and there is a serious problem of hair and powder falling. The image preservation time of thermal printing is short, the color developing performance is poor, the thermal printing clarity is not high, and the dry loss paper produced during the papermaking process produces paper pieces on the paper and AKD hydrolysis products, causing white transparent points.
