PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
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.

COMMON PROBLEMS IN DOWNSTREAM PRODUCTION
Insufficient Retention
Unsuitable grade, insufficient dosage, wrong pH or high conductivity causes poor retention.
Solution: Select suitable grade, increase dosage, control pH and reduce conductivity.
Poor Drainage Speed
Unsuitable grade, wrong formulation or high fine content causes slow drainage.
Solution: Use high speed grade, optimize formulation and adjust fine content.
Poor Paper Formation
Unsuitable grade, uneven flocculation or wrong adding point causes poor formation.
Solution: Improve adding point, control flocculation and select suitable grade.
Filler Loss in White Water
Low retention performance, wrong grade or high white water circulation causes filler loss.
Solution: Use filler retention grade, increase dosage and improve white water system.
System Buildup and Scaling
Unsuitable grade, high polymer or wrong pH causes system buildup.
Solution: Reduce polymer dosage, control pH and select compatible grade.
Poor Compatibility with Additives
Wrong grade or incompatible additive causes precipitation or poor performance.
Solution: Test compatibility before production and select matching grade.
Customs Detention Due to Mismatched Documents
Incorrect HS code or SDS information triggers inspection and detention at destination ports.
Solution: Confirm destination country regulations before order. Standard export data: HS Code 3824.9999, non-hazardous. We supply consistent full-set SDS / COA documents.
High COD Load in Wastewater
High organic content or excessive dosage increases wastewater treatment load.
Solution: Optimize dosage, use concentrated grade and cooperate with wastewater treatment.
