Clariant shines the spotlight on the performance and cost-optimization benefits of its colorants, optical brightening agents and chemicals for paper at Paperex in New Delhi, India from December 10 - 13, 2011.
The specialty chemicals expert will present its latest cost-effective solutions designed to enhance papermakers' products and processes.
Highlights at Clariant's Booth in Hall 7G - 7723 will include:
- New optical brightening agent (OBA) Leucophor XL: the novel tinted OBA for surface application gives a truer white and less red shade, providing high-white grades of paper with less OBA and shading dyes/pigments at a lower cost.
- Award-winning stickie-reducing innovation Cartaspers PSM: minimizes stickies and pitch on sieves and felts by passivation and thereby increases machine running time. At the same time, exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOC) for both factory staff and the environment is reduced.
- New Deposit Control range addition Cartaspers SCH: developed specifically by Clariant to improve machine cleanliness and runnability when wastepaper is used as a raw material in the papermaking process.
- Cartabond® crosslinkers for improved quality in offset printing and converting: the highly-reactive series avoids dust formation on wetted out paper surfaces during printing and converting operations, thereby limiting the associated problems of production stoppages and reduced printing quality.
"Higher cost pressures do not have to lead to quality limitations for paper and cardboard," comments Andy Wälti, Regional Sales Head Asia-Pacific at Clariant. He adds, "Clariant's cost-efficient solutions add real value to papermakers' products and processes, and, with our latest innovations, we are looking forward to supporting the Indian paper industry in optimizing performance, quality and efficiency."
