  • METHOD OF CONTROLLING TACKINESS IN PAPERMAKING
    Publication number: 20050098287
    Abstract: To reduce the problem of tackiness caused by contaminants in recycled paper, effective amounts of talc and a terpene such as D-limonene are added to paper stock in conjunction with chemical fixing agents and retention aids. The terpene increases the affinity of the contaminants for the talc, thus increasing detackification of the contaminants and improving the productivity of the papermaking process.
