Paper products with a thermally insulating coating are disclosed. Methods of making and using thermally insulated paper products are also disclosed.

An object is to provide a barrier material which not only is high in degree of biomass and small in amount of CO.sub.2 emitted, but also has biodegradability and simultaneously has excellent gas barrier property and water vapor barrier property, and which can be suitably used particularly in packaging applications for foods or the like, such as a packaging material, a bag, a paper container, a cardboard box, and a cup. A solution to be provided is a barrier material having an oxygen permeability of 10 ml/m.sup.2.Math.day.Math.atm or less at a temperature of 23 C. and a relative humidity of 0%, and having a total degree of biomass of 50% or more.

A coated paperboard is disclosed which includes a barrier coating containing substantially no fluorochemical or wax, exhibiting good resistance to oil, grease, and moisture and having no tendency toward blocking.

A paperboard structure including a paperboard substrate having a first major side and a second major side, a barrier coating layer on the first major side of the paperboard substrate, a top coat on the first major side of the paperboard substrate, wherein the barrier coating layer is positioned between the paperboard substrate and the top coat, and the paperboard structure providing a blocking rate of less than 2 at 50 C. and at 60 psi in a 24-hour period.

The present invention includes a label, a label sheet and a method for manufacturing the label. The label includes a paper facestock having first and second surfaces and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive proximal to the second surface. The label can be adhered to a substrate having pre-applied indicia to cover the indicia and the label is opaque enough to prevent the viewing of the covered indicia while matching the color of the substrate.

A coated paperboard comprising a paperboard substrate having a first side and a second side and a coating in contact with the first side of the paperboard substrate, the coating including binder and pigment, the coating containing substantially no fluorochemical or wax, wherein the coated paperboard has a 3M kit test value of at least 3, and wherein the coated paperboard is repulpable.

The present disclosure is drawn to a recording medium including a substrate, a first coating applied to the substrate, and a second coating applied to the first coating. The first coating can include inorganic pigment, fixative agent, and a first binder. The second coating can include inorganic nanoparticles, aluminum silicate, and a second binder.

A coating composition for a corrugated paper board is described. The corrugated paper board includes an inner liner sheet and an outer liner sheet adhered to opposite sides of a corrugated medium. The coating composition includes a pre-coat layer and a topcoat layer. The pre-coat layer includes an ink fixer agent and a pigment, and is disposed on one or both of the liner sheets. The topcoat layer is disposed on top of the pre-coat layer to form an ink receiving layer. The topcoat layer includes a wax and is devoid of the ink fixer agent.

There is provided a coated paperboard comprising a base board having a top side provided with a pigment coating, which pigment coating comprises a pigment mixture, a binder and a rheology modifier, wherein: the pigment mixture comprises, by dry weight, 0-17% of clay, 60-90% of a first CaCO.sub.3 pigment and 0-30% of a second CaCO.sub.3 pigment, provided that the amount of clay and second CaCO.sub.3 pigment combined is at least 10%; the d.sub.50 of the first CaCO.sub.3 pigment is 0.60-0.80.Math..Math. and the d.sub.98 of the first CaCO.sub.3 pigment is at least 2.8.Math..Math.; the d.sub.50 of the second CaCO.sub.3 pigment is 0.630.10.Math..Math. and the d.sub.75 of the second CaCO.sub.3 pigment is less than 1.2.Math..Math.; the binder comprises a styrene-butadiene copolymer or a styrene-acrylate copolymer; and the dry weight ratio of pigment to binder in the pigment coating is from 100:16 to 100:20.

Disclosed are methods for producing heat sealable multilayer paperboards including precoating layer including polyvinyl acetate acrylate latex binder and one or more water-based barrier layers. Heat sealability of the multilayer paperboard was significantly better than heat-sealability of a multilayer paperboard wherein the precoating was omitted or wherein the precoating incudes typical binders such as styrene butadiene latex or styrene acrylate latex but no polyvinyl acetate acrylate latex. Also disclosed are heat sealable multilayer paperboards obtainable by the method and use of polyvinyl acetate acrylate latex in precoating composition for improving heat sealability of a multi-layer paperboard.
