Application
Wet strength agents are polymeric additives that increase the water resistance particularly of hygienic and specialty papers. These are applied in the paper machine via a size press or spraying device. Because of their high pH value, these substances are stored in double-walled GRP (glass reinforced plastic) tanks. For safety and operational reasons, multiple level measurements are needed in these tanks.
