The papermaking industry relies on sophisticated chemical additives to achieve optimal product quality and process efficiency. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we highlight the significant contributions of Polyacrylamide (PAM), and specifically Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM), to this vital sector. PAM's unique properties as a flocculant and retention aid make it indispensable for enhancing paper strength, improving production processes, and managing wastewater.

In papermaking, APAM serves multiple critical functions. As a retention and drainage aid, it plays a pivotal role during sheet formation. When added to the fiber slurry, APAM promotes the aggregation of fine fibers, fillers, and pigments. This aggregation ensures that these valuable components are efficiently retained within the paper sheet, rather than being lost into the whitewater system. Improved retention leads to higher paper quality, better formation, and reduced material loss, directly impacting cost-effectiveness and reducing environmental discharge. The enhanced drainage also speeds up the dewatering process on the paper machine, allowing for higher production speeds and reduced energy consumption during drying.

Furthermore, APAM acts as a paper strengthening agent, increasing both the dry and wet strength of the finished paper products. This is achieved through its ability to bridge between cellulose fibers and other components, creating a more cohesive and robust paper structure.

The environmental aspect of papermaking is also significantly addressed by APAM. The whitewater generated during the process often contains residual fibers and fine particles that require treatment before discharge or reuse. APAM is highly effective in clarifying this whitewater, facilitating the removal of suspended solids and enabling efficient water recycling within the mill. This reduces the demand for fresh water and minimizes the volume of effluent requiring treatment.

Ningbo Innopharchem offers a range of PAM products specifically suited for the papermaking industry. Our technical team works closely with clients to identify the optimal PAM solutions, ensuring that processes are not only more efficient and cost-effective but also more environmentally sustainable. By understanding the nuances of paper production, we provide additives that deliver superior performance.
