The paper manufacturing industry relies on a variety of chemical additives to improve product quality, optimize production processes, and ensure efficient resource utilization. Among these, Polyacrylamide (PAM) stands out as a highly effective polymer that offers significant advantages in papermaking operations. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals, recognizes the importance of PAM in this sector.

Polyacrylamide's unique properties, including its high molecular weight and ability to interact with cellulose fibers and fillers, make it an indispensable additive for papermakers. When you buy Polyacrylamide for paper production, you are investing in enhanced performance across several key areas.

PAM as a Retention Aid and Drainage Aid

In the papermaking process, retention aids are crucial for ensuring that fine fibers, fillers (like calcium carbonate or titanium dioxide), and sizing agents remain within the paper sheet rather than passing through the wire mesh and being lost to the process water. Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) is particularly well-suited for this role. Its ability to bridge particles efficiently improves the retention of fines and fillers, leading to:

  • Reduced raw material consumption and cost savings.
  • Improved opacity and brightness of the paper.
  • Cleaner process water, reducing the load on wastewater treatment systems.

Furthermore, PAM acts as a drainage aid, facilitating the rapid removal of water from the pulp slurry as it forms on the paper machine wire. This increased drainage speed allows for higher machine speeds, boosting overall productivity.

Enhancing Paper Strength with Polyacrylamide

Beyond retention and drainage, Polyacrylamide can significantly enhance the dry strength properties of paper. By promoting better fiber-to-fiber bonding, PAM contributes to increased tensile strength, burst strength, and stiffness of the final paper product. This can sometimes allow for a reduction in the use of other, more expensive strength additives.

While APAM is widely used, Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM) can also be employed in certain papermaking applications, particularly in wastewater treatment within the mill or for specific fiber types. The choice between APAM and CPAM often depends on the furnish composition and the specific objectives.
