Papermaking is a fascinating art and technology. The second edition of this successful 2 volume handbook provides a comprehensive view on the
technical, economic, ecologic and social background of paper and board. It has been updated, revised and largely extended in depth and width including the further use of paper and board in converting and printing. A wide knowledge basis is a prerequisite in evaluating and optimizing the whole process chain to ensure efficient paper and board production. The same is true in their application and end use.

The book covers a wide range of topics:

* Raw materials required for paper and board manufacturing such as fibers, chemical additives and fillers
* Processes and machinery applied to prepare the stock and to produce the various paper and board grades including automation and trouble
shooting
* Paper converting and printing processes, book preservation
* The different paper and board grades as well as testing and analysing fiber suspensions, paper and board products, and converted or
printed matters
* Environmental and energy factors as well as safety aspects.

The handbook will provide professionals in the field, e. g. papermakers as well as converters and printers, laymen, students, politicians and other interested people with the most up-to-date and comprehensive information on the state-of- the-art techniques and aspects involved in paper making, converting and printing.

Preface

Paper: A major commodity in our life.

During its long history, paper has changed from a rare artisan material to a commodity product, with high practical value in communication and in educational, artistic, hygienic, sanitary, and technical applications. Today, nobody can imagine a world without paper. A large variety of paper grades are produced to suit the special requirements of each application: graphic paper grades, packaging papers and board, hygienic papers, and speciality paper grades. Paper can be impregnated, coated, laminated, creped, molded and so on. Paper products embellish our homes, and sanitary products made of paper ease our daily life. An easier life is also more likely with a sufficient number of banknotes in the briefcase. Packaging papers and board grades support supermarket logistics and product presentations. Computer printouts and other graphic papers such as newspapers, magazines, and books accompany us through our life. Even today, in our digital world paper is a reliable means of long-time documentation and data preservation.

A concise description of the fascinating art and technology of papermaking is given in this second edition of this handbook. It also includes the further use of paper and board in converting and printing. So a comprehensive view on the technical, economic, ecologic and social background of paper and board is provided. In-depth knowledge is a prerequisite for evaluating the optimum choices needed for the efficient production of paper and board. Converters and final customers need to be considered. Converters also have to build up some knowledge in papermaking, just as the papermaker needs to appreciate the conversion processes more. Waste handling and energy supply are even more in focus today. Economic success now requires more appreciation of all these sectors.

The first edition of this handbook found high interest worldwide. It has been widely accepted used in offices, universities, training, and as lecturing material, and general resource. The second edition is an updated and largely extended version and provides both the technical and technological state of the art in paper making in a concise form and as important information on paper-related technologies.

More than 60 authors have contributed to this project. They are all professionals from practice, companies, institutes, and universities from several countries–well-known experts or young specialists–each of them with detailed knowledge in their areas. The variety of their points of view is certainly one of the advantages of this book. My thanks go to these colleagues for their cooperation in sharing their knowledge in spite of their daily work load, and to the individual companies for providing information material. All these efforts resulted in the second edition of the “Handbook of Paper and Board” which is thought to provide professionals in the field, papermakers, converters and printers, as well as lay readers, students, politicians, and other interested people with most recent information on the state of the art of all the techniques and aspects involved in paper making and converting.
