Graphic paper / printer paper
Graphic paper and printer paper
The production of graphic papers is subject to the conflicting requirements of gloss, opacity, whiteness, surface quality, and printability. We focus on optimizing processes and end products through the use of our chemicals such as process auxiliaries, defoamers, and other polymer additives, such as to improve retention.
Process auxiliaries
DEFOKALK® 450 FD
- Highly efficient product based on calcium hydroxide in suspension form for complete sanitation of the water cycle
- Regulates pH and reduces water hardness and organic acids in a fast reaction time
- Strengths of the paper are increased and the effectiveness of other auxiliaries used is improved
- Appearance: milky-white suspension / active ingredient (%): 45
Defoamer
DEFOSPUM® PWW 90
- Emulsion of fatty alcohols, without silicone and mineral oil components for application on the paper machine and in wastewater treatment plants
- Very effective in a wide pH and temperature range
- Biodegradable and approved according to FDA and BGA XXXVI recommendation
- Appearance: white emulsion / viscosity (mPas): 250
DEFOSPUM® PWW 74
- Emulsion of fatty alcohols, without silicone and mineral oil components for application on the paper machine and in wastewater treatment plants
- Very effective in a wide pH and temperature range
- Biodegradable and approved according to FDA and BGA XXXVI recommendation
- Appearance: colorless liquid / viscosity (mPas): 200-600
DEFOSPUM® PHT 110
- Aqueous preparation of polyether polyols in combination with natural fatty acids
- Excellent suitability as defoamer and deaerator for the entire water circuit in the paper industry
- Excellent long-term effect without influencing the medium to be foamed in
- Appearance: viscous liquid / viscosity (mPas): 100
Flocculants
DEFOFLOC® CL series
- Cationic liquid flocculant based on an emulsion of a polyacrylamide
- It is mainly used as a retention agent and dewatering accelerator on paper machines and in wastewater treatment plants
- Appearance: viscous milky liquid / viscosity (cP): 500-2000
DEFOFLOC® CP series
- Medium to high molecular weight polyelectrolyte based on a cationic acrylamide derivative
- Especially suitable as retention agent and dewatering accelerator at the paper machine and at wastewater treatment plants
- Appearance: white granules
Impurity fixer
DEFOFIX MCA 50
- Highly cationic, cross-linked impurity fixing agent
- Stands out as a highly effective primary flocculant and meets the requirements of the XXXVI. recommendation of the BfR
- Appearance: clear to slightly turbid liquid
Industrial cleaners
DEFOCLEAN® OT series
- Special formulation of detergents and emulsifiers
- Ideal as a cleaning agent and odor control agent in the entire machine circuit
- Due to its hydrophobic character, it also removes existing dirt and adhesions
- Appearance: thin, milky-white emulsion
DEFOCLEAN® 222 MOD 1
- Special formulation of detergents and emulsifiers
- Approved with water hazard class 1
- Due to its hydrophobic character, it also removes existing dirt and adhesions
- Appearance: viscous yellow liquid
