PAPER / BOARD

PAPER & BOARD PRODUCTS

Paper and Board products are a generic term for highly resistant paper-based products having more thickness and superior durability or other mechanical attributes to paper, such as foldability, rigidity, and impact resistance. Both of these products have to fulfill higher requirements of quality and functionality.

GIG Chemie focuses on fulfilling these specific demands through non-stop state of the art research and development (R&D), process optimization, and sustainable ecological solutions.

POLYMER & ENZYME REFINING AID

GIG Chemie offers the latest “enzymatic treatment” technology with its unique combinations of selected polymers and enzymes, which improve not only paper dry strength properties but also improve dewatering rates.

Our product is designed to enhance the overall efficiency of the refining and provide added advantage to the processed fibers.

DISPERSING AGENTS

GIG Chemie provides an exceptional range of custom-made products for the repulping and dispersing of lower quality and most challenging waste papers such as paper products that contain a high level of wet strength resins, adhesives, wax, coating polymers, hot melts, and glues.

Our dispersing agents react instantaneously under ideal conditions, thus reducing pulping time and improved the efficiency of the manufacturing process. They are very effective under any pulping conditions.

 

WET & DRY STRENGTH AGENTS

GIG Chemie offers a newly developed water-based organic polymer-dispersion with multiple properties designed not only to increase wet and dry strength of your end-products but also to reduce remarkably the starch consumption, thereby decreasing COD and AOX load in water recirculation.

While using these solvent and surfactant-free additives, you can achieve superior dry strength and layer adhesion and accomplish the following key benefits, including:

  • Easy to mix without complex dosing systems
  • Replacement for Alum and CMC
  • Improved retention & drainage
  • Possibility to use lower quality raw materials and with higher filler content
  • Reduction on refining energy
  • Enhance machine efficiency
  • Improved burst strength
  • Greater layer adhesion
  • Better sheet formations
  • Remarkable cost savings

 

FIXATORS

Fixing agents are used to neutralize the unfavorable DCS (dissolved and colloidal substances) and to affect the effectiveness of other papermaking additives positively.

Compared to the conventional fixing agents, GIG Chemie’s fixing agents are not affected by pH and temperature, and it has a very long shelf life. They are very efficient, more effective, and low dosage fixing agents.

 

MICROBIOCIDES

The paper manufacturing process is an excellent condition for the growth of microorganisms due to temperature and the presence of some nutrients. Microorganisms can cause lots of operational problems. They could generate microbiologically induced corrosion, foul smell, and slime deposits, thereby negatively affect machine runnability and end-product quality. Some of these microorganisms can get into machine parts and lead to downtime, and some can cause a health risk for the workers.

GIG Chemie offers a wide selection of broad-band & water-miscible biocides that inhibit microbial growth in the paper manufacturing process. They are non-oxidizing, non-reducing, no affinity to fibers, and biodegradable.

Our biocides can be used in all pH ranges. They are strong inhibitor against anaerobic microorganisms whose metabolic products can lead to corrosion and unpleasant odor, and they are specifically designed for an excellent spectrum of activity against slime formation, fungi, and algae.

GIG Chemie biocides intensely reduce microbiological activity without any adverse effects in the effluent treatment plant (ETP) operations. Also, they reduce the total bacteria population in the manufacturing system.

 

MACHINE CLOTHING & SYSTEM CONDITIONERS

Wastepaper recycling faces a lot of challenging situations, due to the varying raw material qualities, degree of contamination and accumulation of deposits. These contaminations, when not addressed properly, will create lot of operational problems in the paper making process.

To be able to hinder the adverse effects of these detrimental substance in the paper making process, GIG Chemie´s high-quality machine clothing & system conditioning additives offers the most effective passivation of paper machine clothing and manufacturing process. They keep the system clean and prevent redeposition of contaminants, provide prolonged operation periods of machine clothing and  minimum unscheduled maintenance stoppages.

 

COAGULANTS & FLOCCULANTS

Coagulant and flocculants are commonly used in water treatment plants to initiate the efficient agglomeration and separation of solid particles in water. They are used primarily in the water clarification, sludge thickening, and solids dewatering.

GIG Chemie offers a broad portfolio of innovative, effective, and cost-efficient coagulant & flocculant polymers for the treatment of process waters, wastewater and effluent system.

Our polymers provide outstanding performance and designed to use in a massive range of troublesome industrial applications

Our well-experienced field expert can guide and advise you on what is the best suitable package for your particular process requirement.

 

SIZING AGENTS

The surface sizing additive is used to improve several paper essential qualities either as surface treatment, wet-end additives, or a combination of both treatments. It enhances the paper’s water hold-out and water-resistance to improve printability.

GIG Chemie provides highly efficient internal and external sizing agents for improving burst strength as well as hydrophobic sizing. They improve dewatering, decrease dusting, enhance filler and fiber retention, and improve manufacturing process runnability.

Our sizing agents are available as concentrated agents with or without a promoter.
