Abstract for the International Conference on Tactile Diagrams Maps and Pictures 2002

The Technology Behind Swell Paper

Philip Eccles

Zychem Ltd

Despite being simple in its appearance and its processing, the technology involved to produce a sheet of swell paper is extremely complicated. As a consequence few organisations have been successful in producing swell paper, despite many who've tried.
This presentation will give an insight into how the demands of the market place are met in the production of swell paper, why there are restrictions in what can be done, what cannot be done with swell paper and what developments are possible for the future.
