Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Basis of Quality in Paper
The number of cases in Which mineral filler improves the quality of paper is comparatively limited, although it is well recognized that for certain-uses a moderate amount of filler reacts favorably upon quality, by increasing opacity, and improving feel and finish. Filler invariably, however, lowers strength and resistance to wear, diminishes bulk for weight and tends toward brittleness. In many special papers it is wholly inadmissible.
