Retention & Drainage Aid for Paper is a high-performance papermaking auxiliary designed to improve fiber fines retention, filler retention, drainage speed and machine runnability in paper and board production. It helps reduce raw material loss, improve paper uniformity and increase production efficiency.
This product is widely used in paper machines, pulp preparation, white water recovery, paper forming, board production and tissue paper production. It provides good retention, good drainage, high efficiency, good stability and easy use.
Our retention and drainage aid is produced under strict process control. It is available in different grades according to pulp type, filler type, pH range, conductivity, machine speed and application system. Each batch is inspected for appearance, solid content, viscosity, charge density, molecular weight, retention performance and drainage performance before shipment.
We provide complete export documents including COA, TDS and SDS for quality traceability and customs compliance. Our technical team can recommend the most suitable grade and dosage according to your papermaking system, machine condition and destination country regulations.

POINTS FOR ATTENTION
For new customers, we recommend a small trial batch first to verify retention and drainage aid performance in your actual papermaking system and pre-review export documents before bulk order.
The recommended dosage varies by application, typically from 0.05% to 0.5%. Start from lower dosage and adjust according to retention test and production condition.
Add retention and drainage aid at suitable point according to pulp type, machine condition and formulation requirement. Ensure good mixing and uniform distribution.
Before mass production, test compatibility with pulp, filler, other additives and machine condition. Observe retention performance, drainage speed and paper quality.
Adjust grade and dosage according to pulp type, filler type, machine speed, pH range, conductivity and production requirement. Control adding point, dosage and mixing condition properly.
Keep sealed in a cool, dry and ventilated warehouse. Avoid freezing, direct sunlight and high temperature. It is non-dangerous goods for shipping.
Wear protective gloves, goggles and protective clothing during handling. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If splashed into eyes, rinse with plenty of clean water immediately.
