Paper Grade materials are specialized chemicals and additives used in the manufacturing and treatment of paper and paper-based products. These materials are formulated to enhance properties such as strength, brightness, printability, smoothness, and water resistance, making them essential throughout the papermaking process—from pulp preparation to finishing.
Applications include:
Pulp processing – aiding in fiber separation, bleaching, and purification
Wet-end additives – improving paper formation, drainage, and retention of fine particles
Sizing and coating – enhancing print quality, surface strength, and resistance to ink penetration or moisture
Dry strength and wet strength enhancement – improving durability during use and handling
Defoaming and cleaning – ensuring smooth operation and reducing production downtime
