Where: X2 = Ash of paper loaded with filler, X0 = Ash of nonloaded paper and X1 = Ash of added filler. The paper grammage in g/m 2 was calculated according to Tappi test method 410.

according to Tappi test method T211 om-93. The filler reten- tion ( R ) was calculated as follows: Retention ¼ X 2  X 0 X 1 : 100 % ð 1 Þ
