DE-INKING, REFINING AND BLEACHING ADDITIVES

De-Inking, Refining, and Bleaching Additives – Optimize Your Paper Recycling Process

Thermax offers a comprehensive range of de-inking, refining, and bleaching additives designed to improve paper quality, enhance strength, and reduce environmental impact in paper recycling and production.

De-Inking Additives

• Surfactant-Based De-Inking Chemicals – Breaks down and disperses ink particles.
• Enzyme-Based De-Inking Chemicals – Eco-friendly, reduces chemical load and improves yield.

Refining Additives

• Fibrillation for better bonding
• Drainage and formation

Bleaching Additives

• Lower chlorine and peroxide usage
• Reduced effluent and chemical costs
• Improved brightness and cleanliness of pulp

Benefits

• Cleaner fibers with superior brightness
• Increased paper strength through refining
• Reduced chemical consumption
• Higher production efficiency
• Ideal for recycled paper mills, tissue paper production, and specialty paper manufacturing

Applications

• Recycled Paper Mills – Enhance fiber quality and brightness
• Newsprint & Printing Paper – Achieve high-quality, bright paper
• Tissue and Specialty Paper – Improve softness and strength
• Pulp Preparation Plants – Enhance refining and reduce chemical use

De-inking is the process of removing printing ink from waste paper so that the waste paper may be recycled. Maxtreat^® surfactant-based de-inking chemical as well as enzyme-based de-inking chemicals are designed to remove and disperse ink from recycled furnish used in de-inking plants. Refining in the paper-making process is beating the pulp mechanically for swelling the fibers that are ideal for paper making. Refining is employed to improve paper strength by enhancing fibrillation and fiber-to-fiber bonding. Enzymes also offer significant benefits for the pulp and paper industry, particularly for environmental protection by lesser consumption of bleaching chemicals.
