Description
Description
Improves the effectiveness of retention, dewatering and sizing chemicals through synergistic action.
Retention of sizing additives, water clarification & reduction in water pollution, enhances smoothness and improves fibre-fibre/ fibre-filler bonding.
Applications
- Writing printing paper
- Newsprint
Functionality
- Retaining of sizing additives
- Significant retention of cationic starch in cellulosic material
- Improving fines & fillers retention
- Water clarification & reduction in water pollution,
- Improving the fibre-fibre/fibre-filler bonding
- Improving the surface strength properties
- Improving the rattling/stiffnessEnhancing the smoothness
