Main Functions

Main Functions of CMC in Papermaking

Surface Sizing – Strength, Smoothness, and Printability

▸ Rheology & Film Formation

Regulates viscosity for uniform coating layer formation.

▸ Pore Sealing & Barrier Improvement

Reduces surface porosity, enhancing oil, ink, and water resistance.

▸ Brightness & Gloss

Contributes to improved optical properties and smooth surface appearance.

▸ Stiffness & Curl Control

Prevents deformation, enhances sheet rigidity, and ensures consistent lay-flat properties.

▸ Surface Strength

Reinforces fiber bonding and abrasion resistance, reducing linting, dusting, and surface picking during printing.

Pulp Additive – Enhanced Fiber Bonding and Strength

• Acts as a wet‑end retention and bonding aid, improving the interaction between cellulose fibers.
• Increases dry and wet strength, ensuring better sheet formation and internal cohesion.
• Enhances fiber residence time and drainage behavior for higher process stability.

Pigment & Paper Coating – Texture and Optical Balance

• Improves dispersion stability of pigments and fillers, reducing aggregation or streaking.
• Provides ideal rheology for high‑speed coating operations, optimizing coater performance.
• Enhances color strength, opacity, and surface smoothness, producing a uniform, glossy finish.
• Reduces coating dust and improves printing precision and ink hold‑out performance.
