Clariant turns spotlight on sustainability and performance at China Paper 2012
Tuesday 31. July 2012 - Clariants ecological and economical solutions to the performance demands of China's paper industry will take center stage at Booth 3300 during China Paper 2012, September 10 - 12, in Shanghai.
Under the theme “Sustainability meets Performance”, the specialty chemicals expert will demonstrate its commitment to support Papermakers’ efforts to be both more efficient and environmentally-compatible in their production of high quality finished paper.
Clariant will showcase process materials which lower costs and simplify production through reduced machine maintenance, improved efficiency and lower energy consumption. Highlights will include new Cartaspers deposit control solutions, Cartabond crosslinkers for improved quality in offset printing and converting, and Clariant’s pioneering yellow dye for packaging and newsprint.
Cartaspers PSM and Cartaspers SCH: the latest additions to Clariant’s deposit control range reduce the build-up of stickies and pitch deposits on machine wires and felts extending the time between clean-ups, maintaining better drainage and reducing downtime. The use of cleaning solvents (VOCs) is minimized or even eliminated resulting in a cleaner work environment for the mill personnel along with a reduced environmental impact. Both Cartaspers PSM and SCH are FDA compliant and fulfill the criteria for NORDIC SWAN and EU Eco-label (EU Flower).
Cartabond crosslinkers: Clariant offers a full range of cross-linkers which improve surface strength, offering improved converting and offset printability through reduced dusting and better water hold-out.
Cartasol Yellow M-GLC: the brand new Cartasol Yellow M-GLC liq. combines superior technical performance with an improved health, safety and environmental profile. Designed to work on all fiber types Cartasol Yellow MGLC offers high bleed and light fastness combined with near-neutral pH and low COD. Clear backwaters are achieved due to its high substantivity. Cartasol Yellow MGLC is certified for use in food contact papers.
“Clariant’s innovative paper solutions fulfill ecological and performance demands, making them an attractive option for Papermakers in China focused on raising their productivity potential and environmental profile, and the overall quality of their finished paper materials,” comments Damrong Roonkaseam, Head of Sales Asia Pacific, Clariant.
