The Compozil systems is a combination of a cationic polymer, BMB and an anionic colloidal silica, BMA. Compozil will enhance retention and dewatering on the papermachine without sacrificing paper formation. In the original Compozil system a cationic starch, BMB-TS is used together with BMA-0. A further development in this area was Compozil P system which contains a cationic polyacrylamide, BMB-PAM and a structured silica, BMA-780.
The Compozil technology has now been further developed in order to solve problems related to the usage of mechanical pulps and DIP/coated broke. By analysis of white water it was concluded that there are two main components in these pulps which causes problems ; firstly wood/white pitch and secondly acetate/calcium salts. Wood and white pitch give deposits and high salt concentrations/conductivity reduces the adsorption of cationic starch onto fibers.
To over-come these problems “A three step Compozil Technology” has been developed. Firstly, a specific polymer, Redifloc is added to the “pitch-rich” pulp and it will by a fixation mechanism decrease the pitch concentration and thereby reduce deposit problems.
Secondly, a high molecular weight polymer is selected. For woodcontaining-high conductivity systems a new starch has been developed, high cationic starch, HCS, which will adsorb much better onto fibers than ordinary starches (higher paper strength).
In the third step BMA is added to complete the Compozil flocculation. This will give high retention and dewatering at the same time without sacrificing formation. Another unique property of the Compozil is re-agglomeration on the wire. By dispersive forces on the wire repeatedly rearrangement of the flocs will take place which will ensure a uniform paper formation.
Today the Compozil technology includes three systems, which are used on around 300
