Abstract
Research was conducted to determine the effect of press loading upon filler stratification with the intention of observing the development of a stratified sheet.
Press conditions were held constant with the exception of pressure applied to the sheet. The sheet was then split and examined for filler content. The paper tested was highly refined, very moist, and of a heavy basis weight.
Results indicated a gradual trend of increased stratification with increased press loading. Filler moved toward the direction that water was leaving the sheet.
