Discussion
State whether the following is true or false.
Fillers such as clay and calcium carbonate are added to paper to improve opacity and reduce cost.
Answer: A
They scatter light and are cheaper than fibre, so both properties and economics improve up to a limit. Beyond that limit the sheet loses strength because the filler interferes with fibre bonding. Filler levels of twenty per cent are common.
