PERFORMANCE FEATURES MARKET USES

Best results are obtained when Ulterion® 8002 is fed into the suction side of the stock fan pump that goes to the headbox. The amount of Ulterion® 8002 needed is normally 0.2 – 0.8% as received, based on the dry weight of the pulp, is sufficient for most systems. Ulterion® 8002 may be made into a solution containing 8.0% by weight and added directly to the dry end of the paper machine. For fine papers feed the solution into a fine spray shower at 0.2 – 0.8% Ulterion® 8002 based on dry weight of pulp in the sheet as it goes onto the Yankee Dryer. Exact concentrations and dosages of Ulterion® 8002 will depend on furnish, weight of sheet, machine speed, and production conditions.
