Silicone Dioxide for Paper Industry

Jul 26, 2023

Silicon dioxide is an essential ingredient in the paper industry. It is used as a coating agent in paper, which enhances its brightness and opacity and improves printing and handling characteristics. When used in blueprint paper, it makes the paper surface smooth, ink stable, and prevents cracks in the back. Silicon dioxide is also used in the production of high-quality lanolin paper and can replace titanium white in copperplate paper.

In particular, it is suitable for use in newsprint, where the addition of 1-2% silicon dioxide can reduce paper weight by 10%. This not only makes the paper thinner but also improves its strength and prevents ink penetration, resulting in sharper and clearer printing. Moreover, it also increases the paper's opacity, making it more visually appealing.

Overall, the application of silicon dioxide in paper production has revolutionized the industry by improving the quality and durability of paper products. Its positive impact on the paper industry cannot be overstated, and it has become an indispensable additive in modern paper production.
