Fixing Aid (P FIX)

Application

P-FIX is recommended to use after dilution with fresh water in any concentration preferably 50-300 GPL in thick stock of pulp. The best point of addition is thick stock line which leads to Fan pump or suction of machine chest pump.

Solution Preparation

Water is to be added into the chemical, Not Vise-Versa

P-FIX is a copolymer of epichlorohydrin and alkylamine which extends high cationicity to the fiber to neutralize its anionicity to reduce its potential difference with respect to the ionic charge of AKD molecule, in order to fix the AKD molecule to the fiber being used in paper production.
