Beating

 

The chopped rags are converted into a fine pulp in a ‘Hollander Beater'. Inert chemicals, like rosin soap and alum are added to give the paper the desired physical properties and the consistency required. When making colored and or textured papers, the color dyes and or textured materials like straw,grass, silk or jute fibres etc., are added during this process. The resulting pulp is now ready for sheet formation.
