LANDERCOLL menawarkan grade eter selulosa CMC, HEC, dan HPMC untuk aplikasi kertas dan pulp tertentu. Pemilihan produk tergantung pada tahap proses, grade kertas, metode pelapisan, sistem pigmen, dan target kinerja.
Retensi wet-end, sizing permukaan, dan dukungan ikatan serat
CMC adalah salah satu jenis eter selulosa yang paling banyak digunakan dalam pembuatan kertas. CMC dapat digunakan dalam kimia wet-end untuk mendukung retensi dan drainase, dalam surface sizing untuk meningkatkan kekuatan permukaan dan kemampuan cetak, serta dalam formulasi coating tertentu untuk viskositas dan stabilitas. CMC dapat berinteraksi dengan serat selulosa dan mendukung perilaku ikatan serat dalam sistem wet-end tertentu. Penggunaan akhir harus dikonfirmasi melalui pengujian proses.
Smooth viscosity control and water-based formulation stability
HEC is used in selected paper coating and sizing systems where smooth viscosity development, stable rheology, and good formulation compatibility are required. As a non-ionic cellulose ether, HEC offers broad compatibility with many coating color components including pigments, binders, and dispersants. In paper coating formulations, HEC helps improve body, flow control, coating uniformity, and storage stability.
Specialty coating, surface treatment, and functional formulations
HPMC may be considered in specialty paper coating, surface treatment, or functional paper formulations where selected thickening, film-forming support, and controlled rheology are required. Its use should be validated through formulation and process testing.

Cellulose ether helps adjust coating color and sizing solution viscosity for stable, consistent application on the paper machine. Proper viscosity supports uniform coating weight and reduces application variation.
A suitable cellulose ether grade helps balance flow and structure in coating color, allowing smooth application under blade, rod, or curtain coating conditions while maintaining enough body to prevent penetration and sagging.
Cellulose ether helps retain water in coating color and sizing solutions, supporting controlled drying behavior and reducing over-penetration into the paper substrate. Water retention is important for coating holdout and surface quality.
CMC in surface sizing helps improve surface strength, reduce dusting, support ink receptivity, and improve printability. It can be used alone or in combination with starch in selected sizing systems.
CMC may support fiber and filler retention in wet-end systems by interacting with cellulose fibers and improving drainage behavior. Final retention performance depends on furnish composition, machine conditions, and retention aid system.
Cellulose ether supports stable rheology and consistent viscosity, helping improve coating weight uniformity and surface appearance across the paper width and machine direction.
A suitable cellulose ether grade helps maintain coating color viscosity, pigment distribution, and appearance during storage when compatible with the complete formulation including binders, pigments, and preservatives.
When paper coating or sizing performance fails, the cellulose ether grade, dosage, or formulation balance is often the first variable to review.
Low viscosity or weak thickening system.
HEC / CMC support viscosity control.
Excessive polymer or poor rheology balance.
Adjust cellulose ether grade and dosage.
Viscosity variation or poor flow control.
Improve rheology consistency.
Excessive water penetration into substrate.
Improve water retention with CMC or HEC.
Weak suspension or poor formulation structure.
CMC / HEC support pigment suspension.
Insufficient sizing or fiber bonding.
CMC supports surface sizing performance.
pH, electrolyte, binder, or temperature interaction.
Test compatible cellulose ether grade.
Insufficient surface treatment or coating quality.
Improve surface sizing with CMC.
Rheology imbalance or application inconsistency.
Adjust viscosity and flow profile.
Understanding the factors that influence cellulose ether behavior helps paper mill engineers and formulators select the right grade and dosage for their specific process.
Calcium carbonate, kaolin, talc, titanium dioxide, and other coating pigments influence viscosity demand, suspension stability, and coating flow. Pigment type and particle size distribution affect cellulose ether performance.
Latex, starch, PVA, and other binders influence cellulose ether compatibility and viscosity response in coating color. Compatibility testing is recommended before finalizing the formulation.
pH level, calcium ions, salts, and ionic additives affect cellulose ether hydration, viscosity stability, and compatibility with other coating components. CMC is particularly sensitive to pH and ionic conditions.
In surface sizing, CMC is often used with starch. The starch type, concentration, and cooking conditions affect CMC performance and final sizing results.
Blade coating, rod coating, air-knife coating, curtain coating, size press, and film press require different viscosity and flow profiles. The coating method should guide cellulose ether grade selection and target viscosity range.
Paper machine speed, nip pressure, drying capacity, and web tension affect coating application, water removal, and final paper properties.
Drying temperature, airflow, and infrared drying conditions influence water removal rate, coating consolidation, and final surface properties.
Coating color storage stability depends on preservative system, temperature control, microbial protection, and viscosity retention over time.
Choosing the right cellulose ether for paper and pulp applications requires balancing viscosity, coating rheology, water retention, surface sizing performance, fiber retention, storage stability, and machine runnability.

CMC, HEC, and HPMC may be used in selected paper and pulp applications. CMC is commonly used in wet-end chemistry, surface sizing, and coating. HEC is used for smooth coating viscosity and rheology. HPMC is used in selected specialty paper and coating formulations.
CMC helps support wet-end fiber retention, surface sizing performance, surface strength improvement, ink receptivity, and coating viscosity in selected paper manufacturing applications. It can interact with cellulose fibers and support bonding behavior in wet-end systems.
HEC helps provide smooth, consistent viscosity in paper coating color, supports coating rheology adjustment, improves coating uniformity, and helps maintain storage stability. As a non-ionic cellulose ether, it offers broad compatibility with coating color components.
CMC in surface sizing can help improve surface strength, reduce dusting, and support printability. Final surface strength depends on sizing concentration, starch system, machine conditions, and paper furnish.
A common reference dosage for paper coating is around 0.1%–0.8%, depending on coating type, pigment content, viscosity target, coating method, and cellulose ether grade. Dosage for surface sizing is typically higher, around 0.5%–2.0%.
Viscosity drift in coating color may be caused by pH changes, calcium ion interaction, binder compatibility issues, microbial activity, temperature changes, or incomplete cellulose ether hydration during preparation.
CMC may support fiber and filler retention in selected wet-end systems. Final retention performance depends on furnish composition, machine conditions, pH, electrolyte content, and the complete retention aid system.
