Blend Chest
The
stock passes to a blend chest where numerous chemicals can be added to obtain
the required characteristics to the finished paper. Dyes are also added, as
necessary, to color the paper. Dyes fix themselves to the cellulose fibers and
are fast to light and water.
Each grade of paper and board requires a very accurate blend of pulps and
additives and the properties of the paper are continually monitored by computers
during manufacture.
