Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、無公害性の嵩高パルプと合成繊維を含有する加工紙に関し、特に、嵩高で優れた隠蔽性を有する加工紙、及びそれを用いた紙壁紙に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、大部分の壁紙には塩化ビニル壁紙が使われている。これはコスト、意匠性、施工性等の点で、他の素材に比べて塩化ビニルが優れていることによるが、ここで樹脂として使用されている塩化ビニルは、廃棄物として焼却処理される際にダイオキシンを発生する恐れがあるため、環境面に対する配慮から「脱塩化ビニル壁紙」へと移行しつつある。そこで、塩化ビニル壁紙の代わりに、オレフィン型樹脂のような合成樹脂型樹脂を塗工又は貼合した壁紙や、紙壁紙が増加しつつある。
【0003】
一般に、紙壁紙は上層紙と裏打ち紙から成る2層で構成されている。また、上層紙と裏打ち紙との接着には、接着剤や熱融着性フィルムが使用されており、前記上層紙と裏打ち紙を貼合した後、樹脂系の紙壁紙の場合とは異なり、紙自体に印刷やエンボス加工が施され、紙壁紙として施工される。この場合、上層紙に紙を使用した紙壁紙の主材はセルロース材料であるので環境面では優れている一方、構造が緻密になり易いためエンボス加工や加熱加工することが難しく、ボリューム感や意匠性に劣るものであった。これに対し、壁紙の上層紙として不織布を用い、裏打ち紙と貼合するタイプのボリューム感を持たせた壁紙も開発されているが、この場合には不透明度が低く隠蔽性に劣るため、施工時に下地の汚れや色が透けて見えたり、印刷適性が劣るなどの欠点があった。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで本発明者等は、ボリューム感や意匠性に優れると共に隠蔽性にも優れた紙壁紙を得る為に鋭意検討した結果、上層紙として、嵩高パルプと合成繊維を含有する混抄紙を使用することにより、良好な紙壁紙を得られることを見出し、本発明に到達した。
従って、本発明の第1の目的は、隠蔽性に優れた加工紙を提供することにある。本発明の第2の目的は、環境に優しい上ボリューム感がある紙壁紙を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の上記の諸目的は、嵩高パルプと合成繊維を含有する混抄シートからなる加工紙であって、坪量100g/mにおける不透明度(JIS P8149:2000に規定)が85%以上であることを特徴とする加工紙によって達成された。このような高不透明度を得るには、嵩高パルプと合成繊維の重量比は10:90〜90:10であることが好ましい。また、嵩高パルプ中のセルロースIIの含有量が50〜100重量%であることが好ましい。また、合成繊維としては、パルプ状多分岐繊維であって、エンボス加工時に溶融し得る熱融着性合成繊維を使用することが好ましい。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の加工紙に使用される嵩高パルプは、原料パルプをアルカリ水溶液を用いてマーセル化処理した後、50〜100℃の温水を用いて処理する(以下、単に「温水処理」とする)ことにより製造される。この時に使用される嵩高パルプの原料は特に制限されるものでは無く、針葉樹、広葉樹、非木材繊維等を使用することができる。非木材繊維としては、例えば、ケナフ、ジュート、リンター、マニラ麻、竹、わら、バガス、エスパルト等から選択することが可能である。
【0007】
本発明においては、これらの材種を、亜硫酸塩パルプ化(サルファイト法。これによって得られたパルプをSPとする。)あるいは硫酸塩パルプ化(クラフト法。これによって得られたパルプをKPとする。)するか、SPやKPをさらに化学的に精製してα−セルロース含有量を高めた溶解パルプ(DP)を、嵩高パルプの原料として使用する。
【0008】
嵩高パルプの製造におけるマーセル化処理は、アルカリ水溶液にパルプを浸漬して行うことができる他、噴霧等によってアルカリ水溶液をパルプ中に含浸させることによって行うこともできる。アルカリ水溶液としては、ナトリウム、カリウム、カルシウム等の苛性アルカリ及び炭酸塩等の水溶液アルカリを使用することが好ましい。マーセル化処理を進めるとセルロースは著しく膨潤し、セルロースの結晶構造も、セルロースIからアルカリセルロースI、そしてさらにより安定的な結晶形をとるアルカリセルロースIIへと変化する。上記のアルカリセルロースI及びアルカリセルロースIIは、洗浄・乾燥されることによってセルロースIIに変化する。また、セルロースIIは種々の試薬に対する吸着性が高く、反応しやすくなっている。
【0009】
本発明で使用する嵩高パルプにおいては、嵩高パルプ中のセルロースIIの含有量が50〜100重量%、好ましくは80〜100重量%となるように、一連の処理を行うことが好ましい。マーセル化は公知の方法によって行えば良く、通常は、パルプをアルカリ水溶液中に浸漬し、室温で10分〜24時間程度処理すれば良い。セルロースIIの含有量は次式により算出される。
セルロース含有量(%)=(I−I)/(III−I)×100
ここでIは原料パルプ(セルロースI含有量100%)、IIIは完全にマーセル化処理したパルプ(セルロースII含有量100%)それぞれの、2θ=19.8°におけるバックグラウンドの強度を差引いた結晶性干渉強度である。また、Iは測定しようとする試料の2θ=19.8°における結晶性干渉強度である(北海道大学工学部研究報告No.75、p125)。
【0010】
水酸化ナトリウムを例にとると、嵩高パルプ中のセルロースIIの含有量を50〜100重量%とする為に必要なアルカリ水溶液の濃度は、9重量%以上50重量%以下であり、好ましくは12〜25重量%である。なお、マーセル化処理は、アルカリ水溶液の濃度が9〜25重量%の場合には10〜40℃で行うことが好ましい。パルプをマーセル化処理した後のアルカリ水溶液は、必要に応じて濾過や遠心分離などによってパルプから分離し、再使用することができる。
【0011】
本発明においては、アルカリ水溶液によるマーセル化処理によってパルプ中に多量のアルカリ分が残存するので、水や酸水溶液による洗浄によってパルプ中からアルカリ分を除くことが好ましい。酸水溶液は、硫酸、塩酸、リン酸、硝酸等の鉱酸又はこれらの酸性塩、例えば、硫酸アンモニウム、塩化アンモニウム、硝酸アンモニウム等のアンモニウム塩、塩化マグネシウム、硝酸マグネシウム等のマグネシウム塩、塩化亜鉛、硝酸亜鉛等の亜鉛塩を水に溶解して調製される。
【0012】
次に、嵩高パルプの製造におけるマーセル化処理後の温水処理について説明する。この処理には50〜100℃の温水を使用する必要があり、好ましくは70〜100℃の温水を使用する。50℃未満の温水で処理しても、十分嵩高なパルプは得られない。アルカリ分を除去する工程を経てから温水処理する場合には、50〜100℃の温水で連続的に洗浄することによって、実質的に一工程で洗浄から温水処理までの工程を行ってもよい。また、温水処理におけるpHは3〜12、好ましくは5〜10である。pHがこの範囲外であると、セルロースの加水分解が顕著となり、嵩高化に悪影響を与えるだけではなく収率も低下する。
【0013】
温水処理は、30分以上行うことが好ましく、2時間以上行うことがより好ましい。しかしながら、処理時間が5時間を超えても嵩高化の効果は頭打ちとなる。また、温水処理時に撹拌等の手段によってパルプ繊維をある程度屈曲化させると、さらに嵩高化させたパルプが得られることができるので好ましい。マーセル化処理のみでもパルプを嵩高化することは可能であるが、マーセル化処理後に更に50〜100℃の温水で処理しなければ、シート形成時のプレス処理やカレンダー処理の際に受ける外力に対して、その嵩高性を維持することは困難である。上記の如くして得られた嵩高パルプは、十分な嵩高性が得られるものの、不透明度が低く、十分な隠蔽性を得ることができない。そこで、本発明では、合成繊維を混抄することによって、不透明度を向上させる。
【0014】
一般的に不透明度は、セルロースの繊維間結合面積が変化しない場合、繊維の比表面積を大きくすることによって向上する。嵩高パルプと混抄する合成繊維としては、比表面積の大きいパルプ状多分岐繊維であることが好ましい。パルプ状多分岐繊維としては、特許公報2732483号に記載されているような幹繊維と該幹繊維より枝分かれした分岐繊維とから成る形態の繊維であることが好ましい。上記パルプ状多分岐繊維は、幹繊維の平均繊維径が0.5〜5μmの範囲であると共に分岐繊維の平均繊維径が0.5μm未満であり、特に、分岐繊維の先端から他の分岐繊維の先端までの平均繊維長が0.01mm〜10mmであることが好ましい。このようなパルプ状多分岐繊維として好ましいものは、三井化学株式会社よりSWPの商品名で市販されているポリオレフィン系合成パルプを例として挙げることができる。
【0015】
嵩高パルプと合成繊維の混抄シートにおける混合割合は、重量比で10:90〜90:10であることが好ましく、特に50:50〜80:20であることが好ましい。合成繊維が90重量%を超えると、高価でコストメリットがない。また、パルプ状多分岐繊維が10重量%未満になると十分な隠蔽性を得ることができない。
本発明の加工紙は、紙壁紙の上層紙として特に好ましく使用される。この用途の場合、加工紙の坪量は85〜500g/m、密度は0.2〜0.5g/cmの範囲であることが好ましい。本発明の紙壁紙は、上層紙支持層としての裏打ち紙を本発明品の加工紙の裏側に接着させ、必要に応じて更に該裏打ち紙表面に壁面に対する接着層を設けた構成である。裏打ち紙は壁紙に慣用されているものであり、坪量65〜80g/mであるものが好ましいが、この限りではない。
【0016】
本発明の紙壁紙は、表面側となる上層紙(本発明の加工紙)に対して、グラビア印刷ロール等によるプリント加工や、エンボスロールによるエンボス加工を加えることによって製造される。また、壁紙は、その用途によっては表面が汚れやすく摩耗も受けやすいため、表面側に防汚性や耐摩耗性等を付与する目的で合成樹脂エマルジョンを塗布したり、EVOHフィルム等を貼合することができる。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
本発明の加工紙は、坪量100g/mの時ISO不透明度が85%以上であると共にエンボスロールによるエンボス加工が容易であり、紙壁紙の上層紙として好適である。また本発明の紙壁紙は、グラビア印刷ロール等によるプリント加工性に優れた紙壁紙である上、塩化ビニルを使用していないので環境適合性にも優れており、実用上極めて有用である。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a processed paper containing non-polluting bulky pulp and synthetic fibers, and more particularly to a processed paper having a bulky and excellent concealing property and a paper wallpaper using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Traditionally, most wallpapers use vinyl chloride wallpaper. This is due to the fact that vinyl chloride is superior to other materials in terms of cost, design, workability, etc., but the vinyl chloride used here as a resin is incinerated as waste. There is a risk of producing dioxin, and the environment is changing to "dechlorinated vinyl wallpaper". Therefore, in place of the vinyl chloride wallpaper, wallpaper and paper wallpaper in which a synthetic resin type resin such as an olefin type resin is applied or bonded are increasing.
[0003]
Generally, a paper wallpaper is composed of two layers consisting of an upper layer paper and a backing paper. Further, for bonding the upper layer paper and the backing paper, an adhesive or a heat-fusible film is used, and after bonding the upper layer paper and the backing paper, unlike the case of resin-based paper wallpaper, The paper itself is printed or embossed, and is constructed as paper wallpaper. In this case, the main material of the paper wallpaper using paper as the upper layer paper is a cellulose material, so it is excellent in environmental aspects, but the structure tends to be dense, so it is difficult to emboss or heat, and the volume feeling and design It was inferior in sex. On the other hand, a non-woven fabric is used as the upper layer paper of the wallpaper, and a type of volume wallpaper that is bonded to the backing paper has also been developed, but in this case, the opacity is low and the concealment is poor, so Occasionally, there are drawbacks such as stains and colors on the undercoat being seen through, and poor printability.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies to obtain a paper wallpaper that is excellent in voluminous feel and design and also excellent in concealment, and as a result, using mixed paper containing bulky pulp and synthetic fibers as the upper layer paper. As a result, the present inventors have found that a good paper wallpaper can be obtained, and arrived at the present invention.
Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to provide a processed paper having excellent concealing properties. A second object of the present invention is to provide an environment-friendly paper wallpaper having a high volume feeling.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The above-mentioned various objects of the present invention are processed papers comprising a mixed sheet containing bulky pulp and synthetic fibers, and have an opacity (defined in JIS P8149: 2000) at a basis weight of 100 g / m 2 of 85% or more. This is achieved by a textured paper. In order to obtain such high opacity, the weight ratio of the bulky pulp to the synthetic fiber is preferably from 10:90 to 90:10. Further, the content of cellulose II in the bulky pulp is preferably 50 to 100% by weight. Further, as the synthetic fiber, it is preferable to use a heat-fusible synthetic fiber which is a pulp-like multibranched fiber and can be melted during embossing.
[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The bulky pulp used in the processed paper of the present invention is obtained by subjecting raw pulp to a mercerization treatment using an alkaline aqueous solution, and then treating it with warm water at 50 to 100 ° C (hereinafter, simply referred to as “hot water treatment”). It is manufactured by The raw material of the bulky pulp used at this time is not particularly limited, and conifers, hardwoods, non-wood fibers and the like can be used. The non-wood fibers can be selected from, for example, kenaf, jute, linter, manila hemp, bamboo, straw, bagasse, espart, and the like.
[0007]
In the present invention, these grades are treated with sulfite pulping (sulfite method; the pulp obtained thereby is referred to as SP) or sulfate pulping (kraft method. The pulp obtained thereby is referred to as KP. Or dissolving pulp (DP) in which SP or KP is further chemically purified to increase the α-cellulose content is used as a raw material for bulky pulp.
[0008]
The mercerization treatment in the production of bulky pulp can be performed by immersing the pulp in an alkaline aqueous solution, or by impregnating the pulp with an alkaline aqueous solution by spraying or the like. As the alkaline aqueous solution, it is preferable to use caustic alkalis such as sodium, potassium and calcium and aqueous alkalis such as carbonates. As the mercerization treatment proceeds, cellulose swells remarkably, and the crystal structure of cellulose also changes from cellulose I to alkali cellulose I, and to alkali cellulose II, which takes an even more stable crystal form. The above-mentioned alkali cellulose I and alkali cellulose II are changed into cellulose II by being washed and dried. Cellulose II has high adsorptivity to various reagents and is easily reacted.
[0009]
In the bulky pulp used in the present invention, it is preferable to perform a series of treatments so that the content of cellulose II in the bulky pulp is 50 to 100% by weight, preferably 80 to 100% by weight. Mercerization may be performed by a known method. Usually, pulp may be immersed in an alkaline aqueous solution and treated at room temperature for about 10 minutes to 24 hours. The content of cellulose II is calculated by the following equation.
Cellulose content (%) = (II I) / (I II -I I) × 100
Here, I I is subtracted from the background intensity at 2θ = 19.8 ° of the raw pulp (cellulose I content 100%) and I II is completely mercerized pulp (cellulose II content 100%). Crystalline interference intensity. I is the crystalline interference intensity of the sample to be measured at 2θ = 19.8 ° (Hokkaido University, Faculty of Engineering Research Report No. 75, p125).
[0010]
Taking sodium hydroxide as an example, the concentration of the alkaline aqueous solution required to make the content of cellulose II in the bulky pulp 50 to 100% by weight is 9% by weight or more and 50% by weight or less, preferably 12% by weight or less. 2525% by weight. The mercerizing treatment is preferably performed at 10 to 40 ° C. when the concentration of the aqueous alkali solution is 9 to 25% by weight. The alkali aqueous solution after the pulp has been mercerized can be separated from the pulp by filtration, centrifugation or the like, if necessary, and reused.
[0011]
In the present invention, since a large amount of alkali remains in the pulp by the mercerization treatment with an aqueous alkali solution, it is preferable to remove the alkali from the pulp by washing with water or an aqueous acid solution. The aqueous acid solution may be a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, or nitric acid or an acid salt thereof, for example, an ammonium salt such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, or ammonium nitrate, a magnesium salt such as magnesium chloride or magnesium nitrate, zinc chloride, or zinc nitrate. Is prepared by dissolving a zinc salt such as in water.
[0012]
Next, the hot water treatment after the mercerization treatment in the production of bulky pulp will be described. For this treatment, it is necessary to use hot water at 50 to 100 ° C, preferably hot water at 70 to 100 ° C. Even if it is treated with warm water of less than 50 ° C., a sufficiently bulky pulp cannot be obtained. In the case of performing hot water treatment after the step of removing alkali components, the steps from washing to hot water treatment may be performed in substantially one step by continuously washing with warm water at 50 to 100 ° C. The pH in the hot water treatment is 3 to 12, preferably 5 to 10. If the pH is out of this range, hydrolysis of cellulose becomes remarkable, which not only adversely affects bulkiness but also lowers the yield.
[0013]
The hot water treatment is preferably performed for 30 minutes or more, and more preferably for 2 hours or more. However, even if the processing time exceeds 5 hours, the effect of bulking reaches a plateau. In addition, it is preferable that the pulp fiber bend to some extent by means of stirring or the like at the time of hot water treatment, because a pulp having a further increased bulk can be obtained. It is possible to increase the bulk of the pulp only by the mercerization treatment, but if the pulp is not further treated with hot water at 50 to 100 ° C. after the mercerization treatment, it may be subjected to an external force received during a press process or a calendar process during sheet formation. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain the bulkiness. Although the bulky pulp obtained as described above has sufficient bulkiness, the opacity is low and sufficient opacity cannot be obtained. Therefore, in the present invention, opacity is improved by blending synthetic fibers.
[0014]
Generally, the opacity is improved by increasing the specific surface area of the fibers when the inter-fiber bonding area of the cellulose does not change. The synthetic fiber mixed with the bulky pulp is preferably a pulp-like multibranched fiber having a large specific surface area. The pulp-like multibranched fiber is preferably a fiber composed of a trunk fiber and a branched fiber branched from the trunk fiber as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2732483. The pulp-like multibranched fiber has an average fiber diameter of the trunk fiber in the range of 0.5 to 5 μm and an average fiber diameter of the branched fiber of less than 0.5 μm. It is preferable that the average fiber length up to the tip is 0.01 mm to 10 mm. Preferred examples of such a pulp-like multibranched fiber include a polyolefin-based synthetic pulp commercially available from Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. under the trade name of SWP.
[0015]
The mixing ratio of the bulky pulp and the synthetic fiber in the mixed sheet is preferably from 10:90 to 90:10 by weight, and particularly preferably from 50:50 to 80:20. If the synthetic fiber exceeds 90% by weight, it is expensive and has no cost merit. On the other hand, if the content of the pulp-like multibranched fiber is less than 10% by weight, sufficient concealing properties cannot be obtained.
The processed paper of the present invention is particularly preferably used as an upper layer paper of paper wallpaper. In the case of this use, it is preferable that the basis weight of the processed paper is in the range of 85 to 500 g / m 2 and the density is in the range of 0.2 to 0.5 g / cm 3 . The paper wallpaper of the present invention has a configuration in which a backing paper as an upper paper support layer is adhered to the back side of the processed paper of the product of the present invention, and if necessary, an adhesive layer for the wall surface is further provided on the surface of the backing paper. The backing paper is commonly used for wallpaper, and preferably has a basis weight of 65 to 80 g / m 2 , but is not limited thereto.
[0016]
The paper wallpaper of the present invention is manufactured by applying printing processing using a gravure printing roll or the like or embossing processing using an embossing roll to the upper layer paper (processed paper of the present invention) on the front surface side. In addition, the wallpaper has a surface that is easily soiled and easily worn depending on its use. For this purpose, a synthetic resin emulsion is applied to the surface side to impart antifouling property, abrasion resistance, and the like, or an EVOH film or the like is attached. be able to.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
The processed paper of the present invention has an ISO opacity of 85% or more when the basis weight is 100 g / m 2 and is easily embossed with an embossing roll, and is suitable as an upper layer paper of paper wallpaper. Further, the paper wallpaper of the present invention is a paper wallpaper excellent in print processability with a gravure printing roll or the like, and also has excellent environmental compatibility because it does not use vinyl chloride, and is extremely useful in practice.
[0018]

Embodiment 1 FIG.
<Manufacture of bulky pulp (A)>
A 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added to an unbeaten product of bleached commercial softwood kraft pulp (NBKP) so that the pulp concentration became 5%, and the pulp was immersed at 20 ° C. for 30 minutes to form a mercer. Next, after sufficiently washing with water to adjust the pH to 7, warm water was added so that the pulp concentration became 5%, the mixture was treated at 70 ° C. for 2 hours, and then pulp and warm water were separated using a centrifugal dehydrator. . The content of cellulose II in the obtained pulp was 100%. The Canadian standard freeness (hereinafter referred to as CSF) of the bulky pulp (A) was 750 ml.
[0020]
<Synthetic fiber (B)>
Polyolefin synthetic pulp (trade name: SWP E790 (average fiber length: 1.6 mm, density: 0.96 g / cm 3 , pulp-like multibranched fiber having a melting point of 135 ° C.), manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.) was used.
<Synthetic fiber (C)>
Polyolefin composite fiber with polyester fiber core and polyethylene fiber core (trade name: N710S (average fiber length 5 mm, density 1.37 g / cm 3 , unbranched fiber with a sheath melting point of 130 ° C.), manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd. )It was used. The three types of raw materials (A), (B) and (C) were sufficiently defibrated with a Tappi defibrillator.
[0021]
<Manufacture of processed paper>
The raw materials (A) and (B) are prepared so that the blending weight ratio of A / B is 90/10, and weighed using a Tappi standard square hand-making machine so that the basis weight becomes 100 g / m 2. The paper was made after taking. The obtained wet paper was pressed at a pressure of 3.5 kg / cm 2 for 5 minutes, and then dried with a cylinder dryer having a surface temperature of 100 ° C. After drying, the sheet was conditioned under constant temperature and humidity (23 ° C., 50% RH). After the humidity control, the density of the sheet was measured according to JIS P 8118: 1998, and was used as an index of bulkiness. Further, the opacity of the sheet was measured according to JIS P 8149: 2000, and was used as an index of hiding. The measurement results are as shown in Table 1.

[0024]
Embodiment 4. FIG.
Except that the mixing weight ratio of the raw materials (A), (B) and (C) was A / B / C = 60/20/20, a processed paper was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, and The hiding power was evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0025]
Embodiment 5 FIG.
Except that the mixing weight ratio of the raw materials (A), (B) and (C) was set to A / B / C = 40/30/30, a processed paper was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, and the bulkiness was increased. And concealment properties were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0026]
Embodiment 6 FIG.
A sheet having a basis weight of 80 g / m 2 manufactured by setting the mixing weight ratio of the raw materials (A) and (B) to A / B = 70/30, and a basis weight of 20 g / m using only LBKP (freeness of 450 ml). A processed paper was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the sheets of No. 2 were laminated together, and the bulkiness and the concealing property were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0027]
Comparative Example 1
A processed paper was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that only the raw material (A) was used, and the bulkiness and the concealing property were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0028]
Comparative Example 2.
A processed paper was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the mixing weight ratio of the raw materials (A) and (B) was set to A / B = 95/5, and the bulkiness and the concealing property were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0029]
Comparative Example 3
A processed paper was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the mixing weight ratio of the raw materials (A) and (C) was A / C = 60/40, and the bulkiness and the concealing property were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1.

[Table 1]
Figure 2004003048
[0031]
As is clear from Table 1, it was demonstrated that the processed paper of the present invention in which the pulp-like multibranched fiber was blended with the bulky pulp could have an opacity of 85% or more. However, if the amount of the pulp-like multibranched fiber is less than 10%, the desired opacity cannot be obtained. In addition, bulky pulp and unbranched synthetic fibers alone can provide bulkiness but cannot provide good hiding properties. However, excellent concealing properties can be obtained by further blending the multibranched fibers.
