Application Of Calcium Carbonate In Papermaking Industry
2021-03-15
The paper industry is one of the largest markets for calcium carbonate. The application of calcium carbonate in the paper industry is mainly divided into the following two aspects:
Application As A Filler In PapermakingCalcium carbonate as a paper filler can improve the optical properties of paper products, the smoothness of paper, the forming of paper sheets, the printing adaptability and writing adaptability of products, and because its cost is much lower than that of pulp fiber, it can significantly reduce production costs. Fillers for papermaking must meet the following conditions:
- (1) The particles are fine and uniform, and the retention rate is high.
- (2) The color is pure white, shiny, and has good printability.
- (3) High purity, no other impurities, insoluble or insoluble in water.
- (4) It has strong covering ability, low transparency, high refractive index and high scattering coefficient.
- (5) The chemical property is stable, and it is not easy to be deteriorated by acid, alkali or chlorination and reduction.
- (6) Abundant resources and low cost.
Application In Paper Coating
In terms of papermaking coatings, due to the high whiteness of nano-calcium carbonate itself, as well as the large surface area, high surface activity, high strength and hardness, it is of great help to the improvement of paper quality. Adding nano-calcium carbonate to the coating can improve gloss and ink absorption, and improve the smoothness of the paper.
From the perspective of the development of the paper industry, calcium carbonate has a very broad application field, and its application prospects in the paper industry are even more difficult to estimate. The processing of calcium carbonate through suitable milling equipment will achieve better economic and social benefits. The LUM ultrafine vertical mill and XZM ultrafine mill provided by our company meets the needs of calcium carbonate for papermaking processing.
