Retention Aid & Filler DosagePulp & Mill

Determine required dry retention aid chemical dosage and mineral filler weights based on dry pulp fiber mass.

Process Parameters
Mineral Fillers Needed (Clay/Talc)
750.0
grams required

To obtain target 15% pigment content in finished sheets.

Retention Polymer
0.863
grams dry active polymer

Dosed at 150 PPM to coagulate microscopic fillers onto screen mesh.

💡 Dosage Tip: Mineral fillers like calcium carbonate improve opacity and brightness but degrade fiber bonds. Always mix the polymer in wet slurry shortly before dipping to maximize micro-fiber trap retention.
Pulp calculations align with standard TAPPI methods. Always run trial sheets to verify physical tear and tensile test strength results.
