Abstract

The Kubelka-Munk equations are presented and some consequences of these regarding the influence of brightness, formation and optical bleaching agents on opacity are discussed. The main part of the paper deals with the lights cattering properties of paper and the influence on the opacity of such different variables as fibre dimensions, pulping and bleaching processes, pulp drying,beating, fibre orientation, pressing and drying on the paper machine. It is shown how intimately opacity is affected by the degree of fibre-to-fibre bonding within the sheet.
