Advantages of the product

Exceptional Retention Efficiency and Drainage Improvement

Our cationic polyacrylamide for retention significantly improves the retention of fines, fillers, and fiber fragments in the paper web. By bridging negatively charged particles through strong electrostatic interactions and polymer bridging, this product maximizes first-pass retention (FPR) and minimizes material loss. This results in enhanced drainage rates on the forming wire, enabling faster machine speeds and increased production capacity.

Sustainable Water Treatment Integration

Beyond retention, this cationic polyacrylamide serves as a powerful coagulant and flocculant in process water recycling loops. By promoting the aggregation of suspended solids, it clarifies water, enabling efficient reuse and reducing freshwater consumption. This aligns with the principles of circular economy and helps mills meet stringent discharge limits.

Customized Technical Support and Process Optimization

At Jiangsu Feymer Technology, we do not just supply chemicals; we partner with you to optimize your entire papermaking process. Our team of experienced engineers and Ph.D. researchers conducts detailed audits of your system, including analyses of pulp characteristics, water chemistry, and machine parameters. We tailor the molecular weight and charge density of our cationic polyacrylamide for retention to precisely match your requirements, ensuring maximum efficiency.

The mechanism of action of cationic polyacrylamide for retention in papermaking is complex and multifaceted. At its core, CPAM molecules carry positive charges that attract and neutralize negatively charged fibers, fines, and fillers suspended in the aqueous pulp slurry. Through a process known as ‘charge neutralization’ and ‘polymer bridging,’ CPAM forms micro-flocs that are easily captured by the forming fabric, significantly increasing the retention of fine particles that would otherwise escape the sheet. This retention improvement directly correlates with higher yields of fiber and filler, lowering the consumption of expensive raw materials. Furthermore, enhanced retention reduces the amount of dissolved and colloidal substances in the recirculated white water, improving the efficiency of water systems and reducing the load on downstream effluent treatment.

Frequently Questions

How does cationic polyacrylamide improve retention in papermaking?

Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) improves retention through a combination of charge neutralization and polymer bridging. In papermaking, many fine particles such as fibers, fillers, and fines carry negative charges in water. CPAM, being a positively charged polymer, is attracted to these particles and neutralizes their surface charge, reducing repulsion forces.
The optimal dosage of cationic polyacrylamide depends on several variables, including the type of pulp, filler content, water quality, and specific retention goals. In typical paper machines, dosing rates range from 0.1 to 1.0 kg per ton of dry paper, but these figures are just starting points.

Michael Zhang
Boosted Retention by 35% and Cut Costs

Before switching to Feymer’s cationic polyacrylamide for retention, our fine paper mill suffered from high filler loss and excessive white water turbidity. After trials, they recommended a specific CPAM grade that not only improved first-pass retention by 35% but also increased machine speed by 8%.Their technical team provided comprehensive training and readily answered our questions.

Ê Carr
Superior Water Clarity and Excellent Support

We encountered severe issues with dissolved and colloidal substances affecting paper quality and effluent treatment. After implementing Feymer’s CPAM, not only did our retention increase, but the turbidity in our process water dropped by 70%. The flocs they formed were robust, and we achieved remarkable drainage improvements leading to lower energy costs.

Boost Wet-End Retention and Optimize Production Efficiency

Boost Wet-End Retention and Optimize Production Efficiency

Effective wet-end management is at the heart of profitable and stable paper production. Our cationic polyacrylamide for retention works by promoting the aggregation of fine fibers, fillers, and pigments into micro-flocs that can be retained efficiently within the paper sheet. With a sophisticated synthesis route, this CPAM demonstrates superior charge stability and molecular architecture when compared to ordinary products. Its precise charge density ensures that even microcomponents are agglomerated without disturbing the charge equilibrium of the furnish. As a result, mills can source lower-cost fiber blends and high-ash content without sacrificing paper strength or appearance. Drainage increases reduce wet pressing load, enabling higher reel humidity and making the drying section more energy-efficient. This aids in achieving high production output with lower carbon emissions.
