More about Fillers

From a cost standpoint mineral fillers are generally lower cost than fibre, but also can bring improvements in productivity through improved drainage and paper machine runnability.

From a performance perspective, mineral fillers can change the paper structure providing:

  • improved optical performance,
  • better smoothness and
  • lower porosity

which enhances print performance or provides a better holdout for any subsequent coating process.
