Paper may be made on machines, but its performance is engineered in chemistry. And today, that chemistry matters more than ever. From sheet formation and strength to machine stability, energy use, and compliance standards, the chemical used in the paper industry influences all these aspects. Mills face evolving grade requirements, increasing recycled fibre content, and…

Billions of packages are on the move around the world daily, from food found on shelves to electronics waiting at your door. Behind these very mundane products lies an exciting world of industrial machinery that turns simple pulp into solid, sturdy paperboard. For a manufacturer or engineer, the right selection of a paperboard-making machine is…

ENHANCING EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY IN MANUFACTURING Foam control plays a crucial role in fiber cement board manufacturing, particularly in recycled water treatment systems. Excessive foaming can disrupt production processes, reduce efficiency, and lead to product defect foam control in cement manufacturing. This is where IVAX AF-3100, a specially designed antifoam, comes as an effective solution.…

Why are some printing and copying papers shiny and smooth or print so well? It’s all because of coating chemicals. Special materials are applied onto the paper’s surface to make it look better, feel nicer, and work better. Let’s explore how these chemicals coat paper and what materials are used for such processes. What Are…

Paper is something we use every day, but making it can affect the environment. To protect nature, the paper industry now uses sustainable chemicals. These special chemicals are safe for the environment and help make the paper stronger and better. Let’s learn how these chemicals are helping paper makers and the planet. What Are Sustainable…
