Pitch Control

It is the aim of AMCOL Paper Technologies to harness chemical properties creating paper that performs better, runs better and sells better for its customers. Our bentonite-based AccoSorb® product line is designed for pitch and stickies control with substantial performance and cost advantages targeted at replacing talc.

AccoSorb®  vs. Talc

  • Smaller particle size compared to talc
  • Higher surface area compared to talc
  • Increased pitch adsorption
  • AccoSorb easier to disperse compared to talc (due to talc’s hydrophobicity)
  • Synergy with bentonite micro-particulate systems
  • Improves RDF performance

AccoSorb

Understanding synergies and incompatibilities with other wet end additives and paper machine systems is vital. AccoSorb increases both fixation and pacification of colloidal trash to improve your machine’s runnability and circuit cleanliness. AccoSorb also reduces functional chemicals and improves stock drainage, fines, filler and total retention.
