Fixation and other sticky control options

Fixation and other stickies control options The term “fixation” generally implies the binding of small particles to pulp fibres. Part of these small particles with a size between about 1 and 50 µm are also stickies. The main aim of fixation is the reduction of anionic trash in the white water circuit to prevent uncontrolled
