Paper Processing Chemicals
Paper processing chemicals are integral to the manufacturing of high-quality paper products. These chemicals include pulping agents like sodium hydroxide or sodium sulfide, which break down wood fibers into pulp. Bleaching agents such as chlorine dioxide or hydrogen peroxide remove lignin and brighten pulp color. Sizing agents enhance paper surface properties like strength, printability, and water resistance. Additionally, retention aids improve fiber retention during paper formation, while biocides prevent microbial growth. Proper selection and precise dosing of paper processing chemicals are essential to achieve desired paper characteristics, meet quality standards, and ensure efficient paper production processes.
