The effects of refining either SwBKP or HwBKP, and both of SwBKP and HwBKP on the physical properties of paper were investigated in order to elucidate if the non-conventional refining and blending method can be used for the optimizing the paper properties. The blending ratio of SwBKP and HwBKP was 15:85. The highest bulk was obtained with the refining of SwBKP only. Any differences of opacity were not observed in unfilled paper, while the highest opacity of PCC filled paper was obtained at same bulk when the only HwBKP was refined. However burst index and tensile index did not showed any differences in the relationship with bulk. Therefore this result can be applied to improve the opacity of paper without sacrificing of strength properties.
