Question:
Are the zeolite particles evenly distributed throughout the paper?Answer:
Physical and Chemical Properties of the Artcare Zeolite
Artcare Paper and Board Mechanical Properties
Distribution in the length and width directions is very good as determined by SEM using elemental mapping techniques. However, fillers in paper tend to migrate to the screen side oft he paper during manufacturing, so more zeolite particles will be on one side of the paper sheet than the other.
Question:
What are the manufacturing standards for controlling the level of zeolite and buffers in the Artcare products?Answer:
The controlling standard is the weight percent of zeolite and buffer in the dry paper.Question:
How are the zeolites added to the Artcare products?Answer:
It slightly strengthens the paper's mechanical properties.Question:
What effect does the paper's porosity have on how well the alkaline buffers in the paper neutralize acids?Answer:
Zeolites are added to the paper slurry in the pulp beater.
