This combination has proven to be a highly effective way to gain fundamental knowledge of the commercial papermaking process. You will learn:
- Why paper making fibers floc
- Manufacturing techniques that minimize fiber floccing
- The relationship between paper properties and formation
- The visual and instrumental measurement of formation
- The difficulties associated with the correlation of visual formation assessment and the instrument measurement.
