Identification and Reduction of Stickies and Stickie Related Contaminants in ONP/OMG Recycled Newsprint, 1997 Pulping Conference Proceedings

High gloss magazine coatings were identified as a major source of stickies leading to runnability problems in both newsprint mill and pressroom. Calender stack “scabs”, another common contaminant, were found to have a similar chemical composition to stickies. Scabs and stickies were treated successfully with flotation and reverse cleaning in combination with a polymer/surfactant chemistry. Trial data showed a 34 percent reduction in stickie counts across flotation. Using this chemistry over a one year period, stickie counts at a recycled newsprint mill decreased by a relative difference of 64 percent. Scab outbreaks also decreased by 75 percent during the same time period.
