Dry-strength additives

  • Chapter
Paper Chemistry

Abstract

Dry strength is an inherent structural property of a paper sheet which is due primarily to the development of fibre to fibre bonds during consolidation and drying of the fibre network. Paper strength is dependent on the strength of individual fibres, the strength of interfibre bonds, the number of bonds (bonded area) and the distribution of fibres and bonds (formation). Fibre to fibre bonds are usually weaker than the strength of individual fibres until the latter becomes the limiting factor in a well-bonded sheet [1]. Paper strength additives may bring about improvement in one or more of the above factors, although it may be assumed that they are unlikely to affect the strength of single fibres.
