Creating bulky papers with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose
Abstract
High bulk papers are attractive because they use less pulp but achieve properties suitable for applications in tissue, filters, and lightweight packaging. This study explores using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a low-cost and renewably-sourced cellulose derivative, as a surface modifier for mechanical pulps to enhance paper properties. Two application methods were investigated: (1) pre-treatment by adding HPMC to the pulp dispersion and …
