In the papermaking process, the wet-end chemistry plays a critical role in determining the quality and efficiency of paper production. Among the various chemical additives, papermaking polyacryalmide stands out as a vital component that enhances multiple functions at the wet end, directly impacting fiber retention, drainage, and overall sheet formation.

Polyacrylamide primarily acts as a flocculant, helping to aggregate fine particles, fillers, and fibers, which improves retention rates during the sheet formation stage. This aggregation reduces fiber and filler losses in the white water, saving raw materials and lowering production costs. Additionally, the improved retention accelerates water drainage, allowing faster sheet dewatering and increasing production efficiency.
