Pulp, Paper & Wood
Bleaching Agents
Chemicals like Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Chlorite, and Chlorine Dioxide used to whiten pulp, improve brightness, and reduce lignin content.
Sizing Agents
Rosin, Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD), and Alkenyl Succinic Anhydride (ASA) improve water resistance and printability of paper.
Fillers & Pigments
Calcium Carbonate, Talc, Kaolin Clay, and Titanium Dioxide used to enhance opacity, brightness, smoothness, and bulk of paper products.
Binders & Strength Additives
Starch, Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), and Synthetic Polymers to improve fiber bonding, surface strength, and print performance.
Wet & Dry Strength Resins
Polyamide-epichlorohydrin (PAE), Polyacrylamides, and Melamine-formaldehyde resins used to increase tensile strength and runnability of paper.
Defoamers & Retention Aids
Silicone-based and oil-based defoamers reduce foam, while cationic/anionic polymers improve filler retention and drainage on paper machines.
