Paper

Our additives help improve the rate of paper production

In recent years, the paper industry has been boosting its efficiency in energy and production. Therefore the requirements of this application have also changed, both in quality and cost. With the use of additives, the functions of paper have improved.

Retention & Damage

Paper is produced by vegetable fibres, which are purified and transformed into low-density pulp.

This pulp has to be dehydrated to produce paper as we know it. Our additives improve the rate of paper production.

Pitch Control

During the production of paper, several resins and stickies create additional maintenance stops.

Our additives reduce the level of the stickiness of these components.

Water Treatment

Producing paper requires high water consumption, so a proper treatment is done to allow its re-use or assure it is innocuous before dumping.

Our additives help control the main parameters, reducing, in some cases, the use of biocides in the system.

Benefits

  • The surface charge density present in our additives improve the water holding capacity of the system. This property is also useful for making fibers adsorb some specific selective dehydration, as in the paper industry.

  • Surface charge density, combined with its high surface area facilitates the adsorption of certain resins. This feature is critical in the paper industry, since its use reduces maintenance costs by adsorbing and inerting resins and stickies present in the pulp.

  • Surface charge density, combined with its high surface area facilitates the adsorption of certain compounds that provide color to the system. In other systems, our additives act as optical brighteners, due to their platy structure.

  • Minerals are routinely used as fillers or carriers to improve the stability of certain products. Our additives have the characteristic to further improve some chemical or physical properties so as to improve product quality.

  • The particular characteristics of our additives make them compatible with virtually all polarities. This support improves the mechanical properties of the system in which they are present.

  • The particular characteristics of our additives make them compatible with virtually all polarities. This support enables adhere to recycled fibers, smaller than virgin fibers, and thus improves the mechanical properties of the system.

  • In order to facilitate its use in the most critical conditions, all our products have an easy dispersion reduces the need for storage of materials and optimum performance in the application.

  • The physical properties of the bentonite make it an excellent support for substrates and adsorption and subsequent removal of heavy metals. Their water retaining capacity is particularly useful in some processes.
