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.
