The papermaking industry relies on precise chemical control to ensure high-quality paper production and efficient process water management. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. introduces non-ionic polyacrylamide (NPAM) as a key additive that significantly enhances papermaking processes, offering benefits in retention, drainage, and overall operational efficiency.

The Role of Polymers in Papermaking

Papermaking involves complex physical and chemical interactions to convert wood pulp into paper. Key processes include the retention of fine fibers and fillers, efficient drainage of water from the pulp slurry, and the overall strength and quality of the final paper product. Polymers like NPAM play a vital role in optimizing these stages.

How Non-ionic Polyacrylamide (NPAM) Works in Papermaking

NPAM is a water-soluble linear polymer characterized by a lack of significant ionic charge. Its efficacy in papermaking stems from its ability to:

  • Improve Retention: NPAM acts as a retention aid by bridging fine pulp fibers and fillers. By adsorbing onto these small particles, NPAM helps them aggregate, preventing them from passing through the forming fabric of the paper machine. This increases the retention of valuable materials, reducing raw material loss and improving paper opacity and formation.
  • Enhance Drainage: The flocculation effect of NPAM also facilitates the rapid removal of water from the pulp slurry. Larger flocs allow water to drain more quickly through the forming fabric, increasing the machine speed and reducing the energy required for drying.
  • Increase Paper Strength: By improving fiber-to-fiber bonding and the retention of fines, NPAM contributes to enhanced dry and wet strength properties of the paper, leading to a stronger and more durable final product.
  • Act as a Dispersant: In certain applications, NPAM can also function as a dispersant, helping to maintain the uniform distribution of fibers and additives within the slurry, which is crucial for consistent paper quality.
