Coating formulations typically consist of a pigment(s) such as calcium carbonate, clays and others to provide the desired characteristic; a binder such as styrene butadiene, styrene butadiene acrylonitrile, styrene acrylic and vinyl acetate polymers to hold the pigment(s) together; and certain additives to improve processability and handling [10,13]. Coatings contribute about 10% of the overall cost of paper production of which, the binder is the highest cost component in the formulation [7]. In addition to costs, the binders that are currently being used are synthesized from fossil fuel feedstock raising concerns towards the sustainability of paper coatings.
