The papermaking industry relies on a complex interplay of chemical processes to produce high-quality paper efficiently. Among the key chemical additives, Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) plays a crucial role in enhancing paper properties and optimizing production. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of industrial chemicals from China, we provide high-grade ACH that empowers papermakers to achieve superior results.

Understanding ACH's Role in Papermaking

Aluminum Chlorohydrate (CAS No. 12042-91-0) is an inorganic polymer aluminum salt known for its excellent coagulation and flocculation capabilities. While widely recognized for its use in water treatment, its unique chemical properties make it an invaluable component in the papermaking process. It functions primarily by:

  • Sizing Precipitation: ACH aids in the effective precipitation of sizing agents, such as rosin, onto cellulose fibers. This process imparts water resistance and improves ink holdout, crucial for writing and printing papers.
  • Anionic Charge Neutralization: The papermaking furnish contains various anionic species from wood pulp and other additives. ACH's cationic nature effectively neutralizes these negative charges, improving interfiber bonding and overall sheet strength.
  • Retention and Drainage Aid: By promoting flocculation of fines and fillers, ACH enhances their retention within the paper sheet and improves water drainage on the paper machine. This leads to better formation, reduced material loss, and increased machine speed.
  • Pitch and Stickies Control: ACH can help manage pitch and sticky contaminants in the pulp system by aggregating them, preventing their deposition on machinery and improving paper quality.

Benefits for Papermakers

Incorporating ACH into the papermaking process offers several distinct advantages:

  • Improved Paper Quality: Enhanced sizing, strength, and formation contribute to a higher quality end product, meeting diverse customer demands.
  • Increased Production Efficiency: Better retention and drainage can lead to faster machine speeds and reduced downtime due to cleaner machinery.
  • Cost Savings: Optimized retention means less raw material is lost, and improved efficiency can lower energy consumption. Purchasing ACH from a reliable supplier at competitive prices further enhances cost-effectiveness.
  • Environmental Considerations: ACH’s efficiency can lead to reduced chemical usage and better management of process water.
