COMPOSITION COMPRISING POLY(LACTIDE) HAVING RESIDUAL LACTIDE MONOMER CONTENT OF LESS THAN 2 WT AND A STABILISER TO PREVENT DEPOLYMERISATION AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE

摘要

A lactide polymer coating resulting in a strong, repulpable, high gloss, paper coating. The lactide polymer comprises a plurality of poly(lactide) polymer chains, residual lactide in concentration of less than about 5 percent and water in concentration of less than about 2000 parts-per-million. A process for coating paper with the lactide polymer composition is also disclosed.
