CMC paper making grade

Enhances pulping efficiency, promotes fiber fibrillation, and reduces beating time.

Increases inter-fiber bonding strength and enhances the physical properties of the finished paper;

Improves the retention rates of various additives, fillers, and fine fibers;

When used in conjunction with dry-strength and wet-strength agents, it can significantly boost both the dry and wet strength of the finished paper.

Protects internal sizing agents—such as rosin and AKD—thereby enhancing sizing efficiency;

Reduces pollution load.

CMC models HX-1 and HX-2 are primarily designed for wet-end systems; they can be added directly to the pulp in dry form during the beating process without the need for pre-dissolution, making them extremely convenient to use.

Reduced Viscosity: Accelerates the dissolution rate, making it suitable for use with general paper grades.

Reduced Degree of Substitution: Decreases the number of negatively charged carboxyl groups, thereby enhancing its affinity for—and adsorption onto—pulp fibers. Simultaneously, this reduces "anionic trash" within the pulp system, improves paper machine runnability, and minimizes interference with cationic process aids.

The advantages of HX products in enhancing fiber formation and improving paper strength endow them with the functionality of a strengthening agent; they may be used either independently or in combination with other process aids. Applicable paper grades include:

Hand Towels, Paper Handkerchiefs, Kitchen Towels, etc.: Can be used independently as a dry and wet strength agent; numerous clients have already successfully implemented this application.

Kraft Linerboard: When used in combination with starch or similar additives, it enhances the Ring Crush Strength (RCT) of the finished paper, delivering results superior to those of single-function products. The impending national ban on plastic shopping bags is expected to undoubtedly boost the sales and production of Kraft linerboard, thereby driving the growth of associated auxiliary products such as CMC.

Corrugated Paper: Typically strengthened using cationic starch as a binder, often in conjunction with PAM. By forming a binary strengthening system comprising PAE and CMC—applied via alternating deposition onto the fiber surfaces—the bonding strength of finished paper produced from recycled corrugated stock can be significantly enhanced.
