Paper Making PDAC | Wet-End Retention Aid

At Feymer, we go beyond just delivering chemicals; we offer intelligent solutions. Our AI-empowered monitoring systems can be integrated with your paper machine to provide real-time analysis of essential parameters like pH, conductivity, charge demand, and turbidity. By analyzing this data with our proprietary algorithms, we can predict the optimal paper making PDAC dosage you need at any given moment, adjusting to fluctuations in raw material quality or process conditions. This ensures that you always use the right amount of polymer, maximizing retention and drainage, preventing over- or under-dosing, and ultimately saving you money. The predictive capabilities allow for early detection of potential wet-end issues, enabling corrective actions before they result in paper defects or machine stoppages. Our team continuously refines the AI models using data collected from numerous mills across diverse applications, ensuring robust performance. F

No two paper mills are the same; therefore, one-size-fits-all retention aids are a thing of the past. Feymer’s R&D team is capable of designing paper making PDAC products tailored to the unique requirements of your paper grade and process. We consider factors such as ionic strength, pH range, type of furnish (e.g., virgin kraft, recycled, chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp), mechanical force settings, and desired paper properties. For example, for mills producing high-brightness printing papers, we can synthesize PDAC with lower molecular weight to minimize any potential yellowing, while maximizing filler retention without compromising formation. In contrast, for packaging paper requiring high dry strength, we can develop a high-charge, high-molecular-weight grade that enhances inter-fiber bonding and water resistance. Our lab-scale paper machine and dynamic drainage jar allow us to simulate your process conditions and test different polymer architectures before scaling up to production.
