Paper coating materials are various minerals which are used to coat a base paper, in order to enhance its properties. These paper coating materials bring certain properties to the paper such as brightness, gloss, smoothness, etc.
Paper coating materials can be classified into nine types, namely, GCC, PCC, Kaolin Clay, Talc, Starch, SB latex, Titanium Dioxide, Wax, and others. GCC constitutes the major share of the global paper coating materials market. These are widely used as pigments and therefore, are expected to grow aggressively in the next five years. Kaolin clay and talc are widely used as fillers in the coating.
The demand for these paper coating materials is influenced by the growing demand in end-user industries, especially the manufacturers of binding covers and corrugated boxes. Paper coating materials are application specific and are available globally. There are different grades of paper coating materials available in the market among the above mentioned nine types.
