Other materials that are shipped with the ONP and <br /> introduced into the manufacturing process are contaminants that cause <br /> manufacturing problems and finished product defects . There are two categories <br /> of these contaminants : <br /> * Prohlbiitiyes are any materials and contaminants other than paper. <br /> * Outthrows are papers other than old newspaper. <br /> Prohibitives cause our most severe quality problems , Plastics , latex binders , <br /> pressure sensitive adhesives , hot melt adhesives and other similar materials <br /> cause our most severe product defect - stickies . Other prohibitives cause sheet <br /> defects that substantially reduce the quality of our finished newsprint. String , dirt <br /> and other trash can cause cuts or defects that weaken the finished sheet. All of <br /> these prohibitive contaminants , especially stickies , can cause thin spots , <br /> pickouts , holes In the sheet, and sheet breaks on our paper machines and on our <br /> customers ' printing presses . While we do screen our ONP pulp to remove <br /> prohibitives , only the larger pieces are removed . The pulping process will <br /> produce many small pieces that escape the screens and end up in the finished <br /> product resulting in problems for our customers . Removing the prohibitives from <br /> the ONP prior to the pulper is a key to producing high quality newsprint. <br /> Outthrows cause different types problems . Coatings and fillers used in <br /> magazines are subject to breakdown during processing and can cause stickies . <br /> Magazines have large amounts of clay fillers that our process is not designed to <br /> handle . Consequently, a large portion of fiber is lost to the sewer which results in <br /> a substantially higher cost of operation . Magazines , commercially printed papers , i <br /> office papers , boxes , etc. , add excessive ink to our process and in many cases <br /> the ink does not deink or bleach out properly. Even if the paper can be deinked , <br /> this also increases our deinking and bleaching costs . Old cardboard boxes , <br /> _ magazines , and household mail also cavy prohibitives as pressure sensitive j <br /> labels , sealing tapes and glue . <br /> 3 <br />
