Applications

Uncoated groundwood - Improved newsprint - SC paper

Wet-end stability now within reach
These papers are considered value-added compared to newsprint, thanks to their higher printing quality, higher brightness levels, smoother surfaces and higher pricing. However, the combination of wood-containing fibers, high filler content and modern high-speed machines makes these grades very demanding from a retention and drainage point of view. The benefits of wet-end stability and control are obvious.

Eka Chemicals offers a wide range of cost-effective technologies that address most of the problems encountered in groundwood production. All our additives are designed to help you meet your product development and cost challenges.

Our CompozilĀ® retention systems, for example, combined with applications know-how and real-time control, bring you flexibility - more room for trying new options, designing in enhanced properties without upsetting the system.
