Process Chemistry: Foundation for High-Quality Paper Production

Process chemistry forms the foundation of successful paper and board manufacturing. Modern specialty chemicals solve various production problems and significantly increase efficiency.

Boil-outs and Cleaning Chemicals

Boil-outs remove stubborn deposits from production equipment. These special cleaning procedures extend machine lifespan and improve product quality. Professional cleaning chemicals gently dissolve organic and inorganic contamination. They work at low temperatures and reduce energy consumption.

Colloidal Retention

Colloidal retention agents bind fine particles and fillers in the paper stock. This technology increases yield and improves paper quality. It simultaneously reduces fiber loss and lowers production costs. The chemicals work selectively and do not impair other paper properties.

Deaeration and Foam Control

Foam disrupts production processes and deteriorates paper quality. Modern deaeration and foam control systems eliminate these problems effectively. They work without aggressive chemicals and do not burden the environment. The technology improves machine efficiency and reduces downtime.

Fabric Cleaning and Conditioning

Paper machine fabrics require regular maintenance for optimal performance. Special cleaning and conditioning agents remove deposits and maintain fabric properties. These chemicals extend the lifespan of expensive fabrics and improve paper quality.

BIM KEMI is your green chemistry partner.

Microbiological Control and Deposit Management

Microbiological Control

Bacteria and fungi can disrupt production processes and deteriorate paper quality. Environmentally friendly biocides control microbial growth without harmful side effects. These systems work preventively and reduce the risk of production failures.

Organic and Inorganic Deposit Control

Deposits in pipelines and machines reduce efficiency and quality. Specialized chemicals prevent the formation of scale, resin, and other deposits. They work continuously and keep equipment clean. This technology reduces maintenance costs and extends maintenance intervals.

Surface Release

Surface release agents prevent paper stock from adhering to machine parts. These chemicals improve runnability and reduce production interruptions. They work at low dosages and minimally burden the environment.

Functional Chemistry from BIM KEMI for Enhanced Paper Properties

Bulk Improvement

Modern chemicals increase paper volume without quality loss. This technology reduces fiber usage and lowers material costs. It simultaneously improves stiffness and other mechanical properties. The chemicals work selectively and do not negatively influence other paper properties.

Dry Strength

Dry strength agents improve the mechanical properties of paper and board. They increase tensile strength, burst strength, and other important parameters. These chemicals work at low dosages and are completely biodegradable.

Sizing

Sizing makes paper water-resistant and improves printing properties. Modern sizing systems work at neutral pH and reduce environmental impact. They offer better control over sizing levels and improve product consistency.

Printability Enhancement

Special chemicals optimize paper surfaces for various printing processes. They improve ink absorption, reduce dust formation, and increase print quality. These technologies support both conventional and digital printing methods.
