Methods for manufacture of paper products.

摘要

Novel pulp, paper and paperboard manufacturing methods utilizing water-insoluble solvents. These solvents can be introduced into the pressing operation of the pulp, paper or paperboard making machine or can be substituted for water at any point after the formation stage. The result is a significant saving in dryer energy which can be translated to greater productivity in dryer-limited processes, accompanied by an improvement in tensile strength and other physical properties.
