Cardboard and Brown Paper Bags Office Paper, Newspaper, Junk Mail, Magazines, and Catalogs
Recycling Center 801 Diamond Valley Drive Open: Daily to the public during daylight hours This guide will help you properly prepare your recyclable materials for drop-off at the Town of Windsor Recycle Center. This is a drop-off facility. It does not have a buy-back option and is for use by residents and small businesses. Following this information will help maintain the facility and the recycling program for the benefit of the community. IMPORTANT… • Do not leave your recyclables in plastic bags. Plastic bags are NOT recyclable! • The plastic item must be a BOTTLE or JAR. with a #1 or #2 on the bottom. • 99 percent of these will have a screw-on plastic lid (which isn’t recyclable). • Plastic containers with a #3 - #7 on the bottom are NOT acceptable. • Tubs, buckets, deli plates, microwave/fast food trays, wrappers, Styrofoam, toys, patio furniture, etc. are NOT acceptable. • Plastic bottles larger than 2.5 gallons are NOT acceptable. • Syringes and other medical supplies are NOT acceptable. Cardboard and Brown Paper Bags Corrugated cardboard is easy to recognize. It is made of paper and has an arched layer called “fluting” between smooth sheets called “liners”. The drop-off site has two 40-yard hydraulic compactor units for collecting corrugated cardboard and brown paper bags. The compaction system is self-activated by depositing the prepared materials into a six-inch tall slot. Flatten boxes. Cut or tear large boxes into sections no larger than 4 feet by 4 feet to prevent jamming the machine. No wet, waxed-coated or food-contaminated boxes. -

Abstract Paper-based microfluidics devices can create a new healthcare model. Cellulose is carbohydrate polymer biocompatible and hydrophilic. These characteristics enhance the development of user- friendly diagnostic devices, but the link between paper manufacturing process and performance of the devices is still unclear. Previous studies focused on either commercial papers or lab papers from wood-cellulose fibers, with different basis-weight. This work introduces the effect of refining process and lab paper from non-wood-cellulose fibers, focusing on sisal fibers to overcome the aforementioned challenge. Structural characteristics of paper, such as basis-weight and degree of refining, are optimized and correlated with blood typing test resolution. Unrefined sisal paper of 50 g/m2 and 100 g/m2 basis-weight exhibit a higher gray intensity level than refined paper, and also maximal capillary rise and a pore size suitable for blood grouping tests. Two different blood types were evaluated with results consistent with the traditional methods, testifying the usefulness of this methodology. -

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da adição de diferentes porcentagens de celulose nanofibrilada sobre as propriedades mecânicas e físicas do papel feito a partir da polpa de fibras curtas. A celulose nanofibrilada foi obtida a partir de polpa Kraft de Eucalyptus sp. branqueada, submetida a três diferentes passes no moinho: 2, 10 e 20 passes. Os papéis foram produzidos com a adição de celulose nanofibrilada nas porcentagens de 3, 6 e 9%. Os resultados mostraram que a adição de celulose nanofibrilada aumentou as propriedades mecânicas: índice de tração, índice de arrebentamento e índice de rasgo. A porosidade e a densidade aparente diminuíram. A adição de 9% de celulose nanofibrilada, obtida a partir de 2 passes, proporcionou os melhores resultados com aumento da resistência à tração, arrebentamento e rasgo de 111, 114 e 70%, respectivamente, em comparação aos papéis normais. A melhoria das propriedades mecânicas do papel está relacionada à rede muito densa de ligações de hidrogênio, resultando em maior área de superfície obtida após a desfibrilação. -

The Reference Measurements of the Paper Laboratory
Saimaa University of Applied Sciences Technology Imatra Degree Programme in Paper Technology Petri Penttinen THE REFERENCE MEASUREMENTS OF THE PAPER LABORATORY Thesis 2012 ABSTRACT Petri Penttinen The Reference Measurements of the Paper Laboratory, 55 pages, 9 appen- dices Saimaa University of Applied Sciences, Imatra Unit of technology, Degree Programme in Paper Technology Bachelor’s Thesis 2012 Supervisor: Lecturer Esko Lahdenperä The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis was to create a basis for reference meas- urements of papers and boards used in the paper laboratory of Saimaa Univer- sity of Applied Sciences in Imatra. Testing was focused to the most common physical properties of paper and board. The aim for the reference measure- ments was to setup a database of product properties. This database is later used as reference material when new properties of other products are meas- ured. In the theory part of the work is introduced the laboratory environment, quality systems, and the physical properties of the papers and boards that are meas- ured. Also the test methods of these properties are explained. As the reliability of the testing is very important, in this work is also thought about the things that may cause uncertainty and errors to the results. In the experimental part of the work is performed the basic- and strength prop- erties of the specific papers and boards that were selected. The samples used consist of the paper and board grades manufactured in Stora Enso Imatra and M-real Simpele mills, and of the own samples made of birch, eucalyptus, pine and spruce pulps. These industrial manufactured paper and board types are commonly used with the student works and they can be found from the paper laboratory. -

However, it has a relatively strong affinity for water and oil, which 12 limits its application scope. In this work, we prepare two types of coated paper to 13 investigate, the influence the air permeability and polarity on the oil resistance of the 14 coated paper. The results showed that reducing the air permeability improved the grease 15 resistance of the coated paper. High surface energy coatings also showed better oil 16 resistance because of their higher content of polar components that resulted in a higher 17 resistance to grease. The mechanical properties of the paper also improved after 18 applying the coating. These natural derived materials offer an alternative to the fluoride- 19 containing materials currently used in the market to improve the wettability of paper. 20 Keywords: coated paper · oil resistance · air permeability · polarity 21 Introduction 22 As the variety of foods containing grease is abundant, the types of oil-resistant 23 materials used in food packaging has diversified in recent years.

Conservation of Coated and Specialty Papers
RELACT HISTORY, TECHNOLOGY, AND TREATMENT OF SPECIALTY PAPERS FOUND IN ARCHIVES, LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS: TRACING AND PIGMENT-COATED PAPERS By Dianne van der Reyden (Revised from the following publications: Pigment-coated papers I & II: history and technology / van der Reyden, Dianne; Mosier, Erika; Baker, Mary , In: Triennial meeting (10th), Washington, DC, 22-27 August 1993: preprints / Paris: ICOM , 1993, and Effects of aging and solvent treatments on some properties of contemporary tracing papers / van der Reyden, Dianne; Hofmann, Christa; Baker, Mary, In: Journal of the American Institute for Conservation, 1993) ABSTRACT Museums, libraries, and archives contain large collections of pigment-coated and tracing papers. These papers are produced by specially formulated compositions and manufacturing procedures that make them particularly vulnerable to damage as well as reactive to solvents used in conservation treatments. In order to evaluate the effects of solvents on such papers, several research projects were designed to consider the variables of paper composition, properties, and aging, as well as type of solvent and technique of solvent application. This paper summarizes findings for materials characterization, degradative effects of aging, and some effects of solvents used for stain reduction, and humidification and flattening, of pigment-coated and modern tracing papers. Pigment-coated papers have been used, virtually since the beginning of papermaking history, for their special properties of gloss and brightness. These properties, however, may render coated papers more susceptible to certain types of damage (surface marring, embedded grime, and stains) and more reactive to certain conservation treatments. Several research projects have been undertaken to characterize paper coating compositions (by SEM/EDS and FTIR) and appearance properties (by SEM imaging of surface structure and quantitative measurements of color and gloss) in order to evaluate changes that might occur following application of solvents used in conservation treatments. -
Microfibrillated Cellulose Based Barrier Coatings for Abrasive Paper
coatings Article Microfibrillated Cellulose Based Barrier Coatings for Abrasive Paper Products Vinay Kumar 1,* , Eija Kenttä 1 , Petter Andersson 2 and Ulla Forsström 1 1 Biomass Processing and Products, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., 02044 Espoo, Finland; Eija.Kentta@vtt.fi (E.K.); Ulla.Forsstrom@vtt.fi (U.F.) 2 Mirka Ltd., 66850 Jeppo, Finland; [email protected] * Correspondence: vinay.kumar@vtt.fi Received: 22 October 2020; Accepted: 15 November 2020; Published: 19 November 2020 Abstract: Paper-based abrasive products are multilayer structures in which the first layer on the paper substrate is usually a latex barrier coating to prevent the migration of adhesive glue into the substrate. The high coat weight (10 g/m2) of latex barrier layers is a cause of environmental concerns. Hence, alternative materials that can provide the barrier function at lower coat weights are desired. In this work, microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) combined with poly(vinyl) alcohol (PVA) were explored as suitable alternatives to the current latex coatings. Barrier coating formulations containing PVA, MFC, and silica (SiO2) were developed and applied to a paper substrate using a rod coating method on a pilot scale. Coating quality and barrier performance were characterized using scanning electron microscope images, air permeance, surface roughness, water contact angle, KIT test, and oil Cobb measurements. The barrier coatings were also studied for adhesion to the subsequent coating layer. An optimal barrier function was achieved with the developed coatings at a low coat weight of ca. 3 g/m2. The adhesion of pure PVA and PVA-MFC barrier coatings to the subsequent coating layer was inadequate; however, silica addition was found to improve the adhesion. -
