Blotting Paper for Pulp Mill and Box Factory Laboratories
Blotting paper is an absorbent paper used when preparing pulp handsheets with a sheet former in the laboratory. Made from cellulose fibres, it is white with a smooth surface and is suitable for laboratory use in pulp mills and box factories.
What Is Blotting Paper Used For?
Blotting paper absorbs water from wet pulp sheets during laboratory handsheet preparation. A handsheet is a sheet of paper formed from a pulp sample for testing. Blotting paper is used during sample preparation before the finished handsheets are tested for their physical properties using the specified test methods.
Pulp mill laboratories that prepare handsheets and box factory laboratories that perform Cobb water absorption tests should choose the blotting paper grade specified in the relevant preparation procedure and test standard.
Handsheet Preparation According to TAPPI T205
TAPPI T205 describes how to form handsheets for testing the physical properties of pulp. Blotting paper is used when removing the wet sheet from the forming screen and during pressing to absorb water released from the sheet. The specified blotting paper has a basis weight of 250 ± 10 g/m² and a size of 200 × 200 mm.
