Under the banner of "Creating Value in a world of paper", global specialty chemicals company Clariant will attend the China Paper exhibition in Shanghai from September 15 – 17 at the Intex at Shanghai, China. As an established leader in providing high quality solutions for the paper industry across the world, Clariant will showcase its expertise in the area of coloration, whiteness, surface & coating, as well as processing chemicals during the 3-day show.
The series provides crosslinkers for improved quality in offset printing and converting. During printing and converting operations such as sheeting, rolling and de-curling, free particles tend to form dust, causing production stoppages and reduced printing quality.
This is especially true when the paper surface needs to be wetted out for printing or converting operations.
Cartabond crosslinkers offer improved wet surface strength by decreasing the water solubility and/or aqueous swelling of binders and fibers close to the paper surface. They create additional links between the binder polymer molecules, the cellulosic fibers and the filler or surface pigment particles. Cartabond crosslinkers are highly reactive. They quickly crosslink as soon as water is evaporated from the paper surface in the drying section of the paper machine. Cartabond TSI, Cartabond EPI, Cartabond MZI and Cartabond KZI are available depending on the specific paper type and printing application.
