This combination has proven to be a highly effective and enjoyable way to gain fundamental knowledge of the commercial papermaking process.

  • Understand manufacturing techniques that minimize fiber floccing
  • Understand the relationship between paper properties and formation
  • Understand both visual and instrumental measurement of formation
  • Understand the difficulties associated with the correlation of visual formation assessment and the instrument measurement
