Chemical Flocculations
Polymers are chemicals used in flocculation. Flocculation is the process of agglomerating destabilized particles into bigger flocs. In wastewater flocculation and sludge treatment, colloidal particles are flocked in order to aid their removal or to help sludge dewatering. Polymers can be used alone or together with inorganic coagulants to make flocs bigger and more resistant to shear forces.
- Biomass Balanced Polymers
- Sludge Dewatering Polymer Dosage
- Cationic Flocculants
- Anionic Flocculants
- Nonionic Flocculants
- Organic Coagulants
Coating Binders
Typically, a half of the coating cost at a paper or a board mill come from the binders that are used to bind the coating together to the base board. Unique coating binders allow paper and board manufacturers to achieve twice the binding power of standard binders.
Improving coating quality :
- Optimize coating coverage
- Improve optical properties such as opacity, gloss, and brightness
- Improve print eveness and reduce smearing
Enabling cost savings :
- Reduce or eliminate higher-cost coating pigments through improved coating coverage and optical properties
- Save on drying energy due to higher porosity in coating layer
- Reduce the use of binders while maintaining same surface strength

Dry Strength Resin
Dry strength is a key quality parameter for all paper and board grades.
Combined with best-in-class application expertise, our products enable paper, board, tissue and molded fiber manufacturers to manage and optimize the dry strength properties in their end-products ensuring cost-efficiency, productivity, and machine runnability.
Strength types improved by products:
- Tensile
- Burst
- Compression (SCT, RCT, CMT, CCT)
- Stiffness
- Internal (Scott bond)
- Surface (lint or dust reduction)
Benefits from dry strength increase :
You can utilize extra strength gained from using dry strength additives in multiple ways, depending on your production targets.
1. Trade-off Strength, 2. Keep Strength
