Can we create bright and white newsprint with less odor and cleaner waste water?

WHAT WE LOVE:

BUT DID YOU KNOW?

Traditionally brightness gains are achieved with high amounts of chemically bleached pulp…
…which tends to come at the expense of high effluent costs and unpleasant odor to the paper

SAFE – IT’S OUR NATURE TO PROTECT
A solid core: Our deeply rooted goal to protect people and our planet.
Safe to use, safe to release and also safe to wear.
EFFICIENT – IT’S OUR NATURE TO RETHINK SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
Innovating application processes that minimize resources and maximize productivity, both in our and our customers’ manufacturing as well as by setting ourselves ambitious sustainability goals.
ENHANCED – IT’S OUR NATURE TO ADD ANOTHER LEVEL OF VALUE
Innovation is critical. With it, we create additional effects, functionalities and aesthetics and sustainable differentiation to bring additional value, helping consumers to achieve their goals, for a life enhanced.

Leucophor® ACK or AFCN

Wet enddisulfonated optical brightener

Cartarex® NT or 2L Wet-end OBA quenchers

Capable of practically eliminating fluorescence in paper with little or no yellowing
Minimal impact on system charge (zeta potential)
Greater ability to quench disulfonated optical brighteners

Cartazine®

Wet endtintingcolorants

* Depending on product selection

Replacement of reductive bleaching chemicals by disulfonated OBA leads to cleaner effluent
Disulfonated OBA maintains a high fixation rate in soft water conditions, a common issue for Newsprint producers
Addition of Cartazine dyes and disulfonated OBA late in the system enables high control in production with improved grade efficiency
Cartarex quenchers enable faster changes to non-fluorescent grades leading to increased machine efficiency, reductions in production of waste paper/ reduction of down time and lower production costs

Safe products from a reliable global partner who applies international safety standards
Sulfide-free with no odor concerns
Reduced effluent loading from replacement of dithionite by OBA
Optimized and efficient process owing to reduction of grade transition times
Improved grade efficiency owing to reduction of out-of-specification production
