INCREASED DRAINAGE PERFORMANCE IN PAPERMAKING SYSTEMS USING MICROFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE
A process for the production of paper, board, and cardboard is disclosed. The process comprises adding to the wet end of a paper machine (a) microfibrillated cellulose and (b) a coadditive. The coadditive can be one or more of (1) a cationic aqueous dispersion polymer, (2) colloidal silica, (3) bentonite clay and (4) vinylamine -containing polymers and combinations thereof. The invention further relates to a paper product produced by such process.
