Paper making is not all about turning wood to sheets, but needs special chemicals to give the paper a certain strength, smoothness, and helpfulness. Here are some of the most common chemicals used in paper production and what they do.
- Sizing Agent
Sizing agents such as rosin emulsions and ASA help to make paper water-resistant, keeping the paper strong even when wet and better holding on to the ink, hence perfect for printing and packaging. - Retention Aids
The retention aids such as CPAM, keeps all these small particles like fibers and fillers in place during paper-making. Hence, the retting process becomes easy and the paper quality better. - Strength Additives
Strength additives, like wet and dry strength materials, add strength to paper so that it can handle tough jobs like packaging or carrying heavy objects. - Biocides
Biocides stop bacteria from growing in paper-making machines. This keeps the machines in good working condition and ensures that the paper is clean and consistent. - Surface Sizing Agents
These agents make the paper surface smooth and great at printing. It also controls the spreading of ink to be shallow so it appears clear and sharp on print. - Filler Improvement Chemicals
PCC and GCC are fillers that make papers brighter, smoother, and cheaper to produce, in addition to improving how the paper looks and feels.
