A TWO-PRONG APPROACH TO DUST CONTROL IN TISSUE, TAPPICon22
Dusting and linting in tissue production is a major problem due to the negative impact on operational safety, machine productivity and tissue quality. Dust generation is especially increased in the production of soft tissue when creping is run at a low sheet moisture. Softer tissue is also weaker and prone to generate lint when used by the consumer, leading to consumer dissatisfaction.
One approach tissue producers utilize to reduce dust and lint is the use of dry strength resins (DSR). DSR helps bind loose cellulose fibers to the tissue sheet and makes the sheet surface stronger and less prone to linting. The increased strength due to DSR can further allow for reduction of fiber refining, minimizing fines generation and reducing dust. Additional benefits of lower refining are improved drainage and increased tissue bulk and softness.
