Embodiments of the present disclosure include a paper coating composition, coated paper and / or coated paperboard, and a method of forming a coated paper and / or coated paperboard using the paper coating composition. It is. Embodiments of the paper coating composition include high levels of hollow polymer pigments relative to other pigments (eg, inorganic pigments) used in the paper coating composition. The paper coating composition has a wide variety of desired characteristics (eg, high gloss, good smoothness) on the coated paper and / or coated paperboard while minimizing the consolidation (ie, permanent deformation) of the underlying base paper. Improved bending stiffness). |
