Insights

Facing increasing ASA and fiber demands, a specialty paper mill evaluated NALSIZE 63029 as part of an effort to support sizing performance and manage resource consumption. The evaluation was associated with approximately $2 million in annual value.

As water resistance and dimensional stability requirements became more demanding, a specialty paper mill experienced increasing ASA and fiber consumption. The mill sought opportunities to maintain product performance while managing resource use and operating costs.

Actions

Nalco Water partnered with the mill to evaluate NALSIZE 63029 across multiple grade families under normal production conditions. The evaluation focused on sizing performance, ASA utilization, machine runnability, and wet-end stability.

Outcomes

The evaluation was associated with approximately $2 million in annual value. The mill also reported reductions in ASA requirements and fiber consumption, including approximately 300,000 pounds in annual ASA savings and 5,700 tons of dry fiber conserved.
