On the Manufacture of Vinylon Paper by the Beater Addition of Polyvinyl-alchol Powder on a Pilot Paper Machine

Abstract

Nippon Synthetic Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. has developed a new form of binder, identified as a Gohsenol p-200, specifically designed for vinylon fibers.
The effects of PVA powder as a bonding agent of vinylon paper have been mentioned in practice. The manufacture of vinylon paper on a pilot fourdrinier paper machine by using PVA powder as a bonding agent by the beater addition were studied.
Physico-chemical properties of vinylon paper by using PVA powder is better than that of PVA fiber.
PVA powder is convenient to handle and paper-making readily in the mill. For the most efficient results, care should be taken to select the preferred PVA powder for the specific need.
