Quick inversion polymers for stickies control

As paper and board makers continue to use more recycled fibers, they will increasingly need stickies control to ensure machine cleanliness and runnability. A new family of acrylamide-based quick inversion polymers are shown to be highly effective at removing sticky contaminants.

This paper presents an overview of the chemistry, application, and measurement techniques. Case studies from lineboard and napkin machines illustrate the effectiveness of these new polymers.
