The papermaking industry relies heavily on chemical additives to achieve desired paper properties and optimize production processes. Among these essential chemicals, polyacrylamide (PAM) stands out as a versatile and highly effective retention aid. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we specialize in supplying high-quality chemical auxiliaries, and our polyacrylamide powders are instrumental in improving the efficiency and quality of paper production. When seeking a reliable paper making retention agent, our advanced PAM formulations are an excellent choice.

In papermaking, a retention aid is crucial for ensuring that fine fibers, fillers (like calcium carbonate or clay), and sizing agents remain within the paper sheet during the formation process. Without effective retention, these valuable components are lost into the white water system, leading to increased material costs, reduced paper quality, and environmental challenges related to effluent treatment. Polyacrylamide, particularly cationic polyacrylamide, functions by bridging the gap between negatively charged fibers and fillers and the cationic component of the PAM molecule. This forms larger, more stable agglomerates that are retained more effectively on the forming fabric.

The benefits of using polyacrylamide as a retention aid are multifaceted. Firstly, it significantly improves the retention of fines and fillers, leading to higher yields of raw materials and reduced waste. This translates directly into cost savings for paper manufacturers. Secondly, enhanced retention contributes to better paper quality, including improved smoothness, opacity, and printability. The increased fines and filler content also allows for potential reductions in more expensive virgin fiber usage, offering both economic and sustainability advantages.

Beyond retention, PAM can also act as a drainage aid, accelerating the removal of water from the forming sheet. This leads to higher machine speeds and reduced energy consumption in the drying section. For paper mills looking for comprehensive solutions, our polyacrylamide powder for water treatment can also be utilized in the treatment of white water, helping to clarify it for recycling and further reducing the overall environmental footprint of the mill. Addressing the challenge of industrial wastewater treatment chemicals is a core focus for us.
