Printing & Writing Brochure

Your reliable partner for printing & writing paper manufacturingKemira Superior chemistry knowledge, technology and products for global printing & writing paper applicationsKemira has a history spanning 90 years. The deep experience and know-how gained during this time has helped us develop a range of leading technologies and chemical products that serve the printing and writing industry in more than 40 countries. Our mission is to be the best in water and fiber management chemistry, and we strive constantly to achieve this goal through a dedication to excellence and a commitment to our customers.All-round knowledge and leading technologiesOur ability to develop concepts and improvements that serve all areas of the paper industry comes from our decades of experience and our willingness to listen to our customers. Listening has led to our deep understanding of the chemistries of water, pulp and paper. It has enabled us to develop a unique, all-round knowledge of the business and it is the basis from which we develop our many leading technologies.Constant monitoring of papermaking trends Success in paper production is the result of many factors that complement the skills of the papermakers themselves. Utilizing the best chemicals to produce the type of paper required is one such important factor. We are constantly monitoring developments in modern papermaking, and remain alert to market trends and future needs. We are determined to always be one step ahead in developing the right chemistry. Our concepts complement the skills of paper producers around the worldWet end efficiency One of the keys to improved paper machine productivity is wet end stability. There are many possible reasons for instability, such as changes in water quality, wood raw material, bleaching conditions and many other process variables. Kemira concepts offer tools, understanding and solutions to control these variations.• Water quality management concepts for better water efficiency and reduced environmental impact• Kemira® Flyto for accurate monitoring of hydrophobic material• Biostrix for on-line biofilm monitoring• FennoClean™ concept for green biofilm control• FennoForce concept for wood extractives management• KemForm® concept for retention stability• Aerotech® and Fennodefo for foam control and deaerationA complete product portfolio for the full manufacturing cycle - from fiber to coatingCost-efficient whiteness creationWhiteness creation starts from the wood raw material and continues with fiber processing, web forming and surface treatment. To manage this process in the most cost-efficient way, there is considerable value in working with a partner such as Kemira. We offer tools, understanding and solutions throughout the whiteness creation process.• Kemira novel bleaching concepts• Fennobrite® & Ecobrite pulping additives• Kemwhite® filler and coating pigments• Blankophor® advanced FWAs in combination with• Kemira white paper tinting concept• Kemira end-user value index for visual performance evaluationPrint quality managementFiber replacement through increased filler loading is a necessary element in papermaking today. Building an optimal sheet structure is essential for main-taining good printability at higher filler loadings. We offer several concepts to address these challenges. • Kemwhite® filler and coating pigments for fiber replacement• Fennobind functional binder technology for latex binder savings• Kemira sizing platform for enhanced digital print performance• KemForm® concept for more uniform filler distribution• FennoBond dry strength technology • Kemira end-user value index for print performance evaluationThroughout our many decades of experience in working with the paper industry, we have made a point of thoroughly understanding all aspects of the entire process. We understand that a change in one area inevitably impacts other parts of the operation and with this background, we design our concepts and technologies with this basic truth always in mind.Our portfolio is comprehensive and covers all aspects of the process. For example, our Kemwhite® pigment technology combined with fluorescent whitening agents, dyes and bleaching concepts offers possibilities to achieve the desired paper whiteness and shade in the most cost efficient way. Our KemForm® retention technology enables a uniform ash distribution, higher filler loadings and improved dewatering characteristics. We are also the leader in hydrophobation technologies for graphic papers.Key technologies that we have developed are based on our clients’ needs for efficiency improvements, process cost reductions and environmental awareness. We strive to minimize both the water and the carbon footprint of paper production and to provide cleaner process water and effluent. Additionally, we understand the end user requirements for better quality surface for multiple print operations.Everything that we do, be it in research, in developing new offerings, or in simply taking the time to talk to papermaking experts, is with the intention of improving efficiencies. At Kemira, we are determined to become a trusted, reliable and knowledgeable partner to our customers.Extensive experience in offering the right solutions to our customersKemira in briefKemira focuses on water and fiber management chemistry, its goal is to be the best in its field.
