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.
