This invention discloses a high
charge density starch-grafted
styrene-acrylic surface
sizing agent, its preparation method, and its application. The
sizing agent is made from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 5-12 parts
starch, 1.5-2 parts liquid alkali, 1.5-3 parts etherifying agent, 0.5-1.5 parts dispersant, 4-10 parts pH adjuster, 1.5-2.5 parts initiator, 10-20 parts vinyl
monomer, and 40-60 parts deionized water. The preparation method includes: first preparing a cationic
modified starch solution, then
grafting and copolymerizing it with
styrene and
acrylate monomers, followed by dropwise
polymerization and a heat-preserving reaction to obtain a brown, semi-transparent nanoemulsion. The
sizing agent of this invention has a
charge density as high as 300-550 μeq / g, a particle size of 50-90 nm, and a
solid content of 29%-31%. When used for sizing paper surfaces, it can effectively neutralize anionic waste, enhance
electrostatic adsorption with fibers, significantly improve paper
surface strength and
water resistance, has a fast curing speed, is
environmentally friendly, and is suitable for various paper products such as packaging paper and cultural paper.
