Abstract:
There is provided a method of making white sack paper having a grammage of 50-140 g/m2 and a Gurley porosity (ISO 5636/5) of 2-10 s, comprising the steps of: a) providing bleached pulp, such as bleached sulphate pulp; b) subjecting the pulp to high consistency (HC) refining and optionally low consistency (LC) refining to the extent that the sack paper obtains the Gurley porosity; c) adding cationic polymer, such as cationic starch, to the pulp in an amount of 1.5-5.0 kg/ton paper; and d) adding size to the pulp in an amount of 0.4-2.0 kg/ton paper; and e) forming the sack paper from the pulp, wherein less than 2 kg/ton paper of anionic starch is added to the pulp.
