  • Description: As paperboard manufacturers enter a new millennium, they are finding new ways to achieve the quality and productivity demands of today's marketplace. Producers of white top linerboard and bleached paperboard are currently reducing operating costs and improving quality by converting from acid to alkaline papermaking technology combined with calcium carbonate filler and coating pigments. During the past 20 years, the North American freesheet printing and writing papers market has seen a steady transition from acid to alkaline papermaking technology. Improved brightness, opacity, and cost savings through filler for fiber replacement drove this transition. White top linerboard and bleached paperboard manufacturers are beginning to recognize these same benefits as they convert from acid or neutral pH chemistries to alkaline papermaking chemistry. Although the cost savings per ton is not as great as it was for free-sheet markets, these typically conservative paperboard segments are willing to explore viable cost savings approaches that provide a competitive advantage.
