Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Think about it; outside of hygienic papers like facial and bathroom tissue, tactile sensation is rarely a characteristic that is specified in the manufacture of paper. Yet, paper products in other categories like printing, writing and packaging grades typically stand out with a competitive advantage when additives are used to appeal to the touch.

In chapter 5 of Make Paper Products Stand Out: Strategic Use of Wet End Chemicals, D. Steven Keller highlights how tactile sensation can be enhanced through the use of process and chemical treatments. This is just one of the aspects that papermakers can learn about in this resource to help differentiate their paper products to better meet customers’ different performance requirements. 

Make Paper Products Stand Out is filled with tips and tricks to help you learn to use additives more effectively to fine-tune your products. It covers all the essential chemistries in papermaking with emphasis on practical application. Learn the principles by which different papermaking additives work and how they can add value to your paper products.

This book is designed to help you:

  • Review strategies that can be employed to achieve paper product specifications with greater reliability.
  • Consider ways to innovate, including novel approaches to address some customers’ new needs.
  • Learn about a variety of “functional additives.”

Make Paper Products Stand Out needs to be in your collection! The book is available in print and eBook format.
