Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a base paper for eco-friendly paper cups and, more specifically, to a method for manufacturing a base paper for eco-friendly paper cups, the method enabling the manufacturing of a base paper for eco-friendly cups, which has excellent heat sealability, water resistance, and block resistance, facilitates recycling, and is biodegradable in nature.

Disclosed is a base paper for eco-friendly paper cups and, more specifically, to a base paper for eco-friendly paper cups, which is eco-friendly by having recyclability and biodegradability while retaining water resistance, oil resistance, heat sealability, and block resistance required as a base paper for paper cups.

Methods are provided for defoaming water used in processing of various products such as cellulose or wood-based products or in food processing which is formed by reacting a fatty acid with a compound selected from the group consisting of ammonia, sodium, potassium and combinations thereof so as to form a water soluble soap, dispersing the water soluble soap in water, and homogenizing the dispersed water soluble soap with hydrophobic oil or hydrocarbon oil to produce the emulsion. Methods for preparing an emulsion used in this process are also provided. The emulsion is advantageous in that it can improve water resistance and/or reduce the use of water resistant additives during processing of cellulose or wood-based products or food-grade products.
