The paper industry relies on a precise balance of chemical treatments to produce paper with desired characteristics, from ink absorbency to durability. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to supply high-quality aluminum sulfate, a chemical that has long been a critical component in paper manufacturing, particularly as a sizing agent. Our aluminum sulfate contributes significantly to the quality and performance of paper products worldwide.

Historically, aluminum sulfate, often referred to as papermaker's alum, was a primary agent used for paper sizing. This process involves treating paper pulp with chemicals to control its liquid absorbency. Aluminum sulfate, when combined with rosin soap, effectively modifies the paper's surface properties. This modification ensures that ink applied to the paper does not spread excessively, leading to sharper text and images, a crucial factor for printing and writing papers.

The mechanism behind aluminum sulfate's efficacy in paper sizing lies in its ability to create an acidic environment and form aluminum hydroxide precipitates. These precipitates bind with the cellulose fibers of the paper pulp, creating a more hydrophobic surface. This controlled absorbency is vital for preventing ink feathering and bleed-through, thereby enhancing the printability and overall usability of the paper. The quality of the aluminum sulfate used directly impacts the consistency of these properties.

While synthetic sizing agents have gained traction, aluminum sulfate continues to be a valuable option, especially where cost-effectiveness is a primary concern. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that our aluminum sulfate meets the industry's demands for purity and performance, allowing paper manufacturers to achieve excellent sizing results. The availability of this chemical for purchase from a reliable supplier is essential for maintaining production efficiency and product quality.

Beyond sizing, aluminum sulfate also plays a role in the paper-making process by helping to retain fillers and pigments within the paper sheet, contributing to opacity and brightness. Its ability to act as a flocculant can also aid in the clarification of process water used within the mill, reducing waste and improving water recycling efforts. Understanding the diverse applications of aluminum sulfate allows paper manufacturers to optimize their processes and produce superior paper products. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to supporting the paper industry with reliable chemical solutions.
