Handbook of Paper and Board, 2 Volume Set

"… a one-of-a-kind text on paper production-a selection observed for its crisp and sharp efficiency." -Electric Review (on the first edition) This comprehensive handbook describes the manufacturing processes for various types of papers and recycling, as well as quality and economical aspects. More than 20 leading authors from industry give a concise description of the fascinating art and technology of papermaking. Key features of the new edition: Encompases all papermaking processes used in industry for various types of papers (including writing and printing paper, tissue paper, packaging paper, board and cardboard) as well as their quality characteristics, recovered paper treatment, and economical aspects. Over 30% new content, including Fluid Dynamics, Process Chemicals, Design and Pigments. Incorporates stronger sustainability and health and safety aspects throughout.

Herbert Holik gained his degree in mechanical engineering from the Technical University of Stuttgart, Germany, and spent three years working in the research and development of cryogenics. He has worked for a total of 35 years in the paper-related supplier industry, 30 of which he held responsible positions in R&D and commissioning. Until recently he was a lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich and the University of Cooperative Education in Ravensburg, Germany, as well as at the Technical Universities of Helsinki and Lapeenranta in Finland. Herbert Holik gives internal company workshops for training methodical and social competences. He is the co-author of several books and encyclopaedias related to paper science, as well 140 technical and scientific papers and more than 70 patents covering most areas of paper making to his name. He is an active member in national and international working groups on paper technology, machinery safety, testing standardization and education.
