Tissue paper is a lightweight paper with a high demand for quality properties. Most tissue makers and end-product consumers require higher bulk density and softness, superior wet and dry strength properties with lower basis weight, brightness, stretch, appearance and comfort.
The use of enzymes as paper additives started proliferating over the years and have been evaluated for their ability to modify pulp and paper characteristics beneficially.
GIG Chemie offers the latest “green biobeating” technology with its unique combinations of selected polymers and enzymes, which improve paper dry strength properties, increased short fiber proportion in the furnish, and reduced applied refining energy, even on lower dosages.
With the recent issues in paper recycling these days where the quality of waste papers are getting poorer, GIG Chemie provides a unique range of selected products for the repulping and dispersing of inferior quality and most challenging waste papers (i.e., paper products containing wet strength resins, adhesives, wax, coating polymers, hot melts, and glues).
GIG Chemie’s dispersing agents react instantly under ideal conditions, thus minimizing pulping time and enhancing the efficiency of the production line. They are very effective under any pulping conditions.
GIG Chemie delivers a comprehensive range of additives for permanent and temporary wet strength and dry strength that improve the essential characteristics of tissue, paper, and board products.
These highly efficient additives allow our customers to achieve the required wet and dry strength features of their products and enhance their machine runnability.
With the optimized combination of our NEFESIN & TROFESIN product ranges, it provides the following advantages:
Deposits, pitch, and stickies have an adverse effect on product quality and process productivity. Most mills experienced production loss due to contamination. Furthermore, aside from causing loss of productivity, deposits also cause holes and fouling smell on the finished product when left uncontrolled.
GIG Chemie offers innovational technology and adapted chemistry for the most effective pitch and stickies elimination, and control of all the deposits (both organic & inorganic) in the tissue, paper, and board manufacturing processes.
These revolutionized additives completely stop the tackiness, obstruct agglomeration, prevent accruement of residues, and facilitate in discharging the anionic and non-ionic trash from manufacturing processes. It can be applied throughout the pulping process, for fiber & contaminant surface treatment, and to make the residual particles across the papermaking process less reactive.
With the right product combination, along with its minimum dosage in the wet end area and on the machine fabrics, it provides very effective passivation.
Additional benefits of our product lines are the effective elimination of troublesome detrimental substances and a substantial improvement in the efficiency of all processing additives.

These biodegradable & environmentally friendly additives are used for the passivation and elimination of both incoming and existing organic deposits in the entire system.
Generally, some chemical reactions within the process turned the process water “hard,” and formed inorganic deposits inside the system. By reducing the water hardness and scaling caused by this chemical reaction, it can considerably improve several tissue paper essential properties.
GIG Chemie’s broad range of technological solutions, consisting of application professionals, functional chemistries, and the latest technologies which provide exceptional scale inhibition in variable conditions without interfering with other systems. Our scale deposit control will keep your system free of unwanted inorganic deposits either by the continuous or shock-dosing treatment. One of the outstanding features of our products is that they hinder the precipitation of organic salts or scaling compounds in the white water system.
Our additives are antiscalants with dispersing properties and passivation effects. These provide protection against the inorganic deposits, e.g., corrosion on the internal and external surfaces of machinery parts, including pumps and piping. It offers excellent sequestering and complexing properties and helps to stabilize alkaline earth ions, particularly calcium ions. All these lead to lowering your energy costs.
Microbiocides inhibit the growth of anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms, whose metabolic products can lead to corrosion and unpleasant odor.
GIG Chemie’s countless years of experience in microbiological control and protection gave them the mastery of providing custom made treatment solutions for the most complex situation and on the system with different temperature ranges.
Our well-tested products are characterized by its rapid and long-term activity against anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, protozoans, and fungi; they also inhibit the slime formation and microbiologically induced corrosion. They are biodegradable and designed to eliminate the formation of “biofilm,” slime & odor in the paper manufacturing, de-inking plant, and most recycled fiber processes. They provide sustainable & effective microbiological control without any harmful effect in the effluent treatment plant (ETP).
We, in GIG Chemie, offers microbiological water analysis of the complete process under the supervision of our skilled technicians, extend our full cooperation for technical services and training of your staff if requested.
GIG Chemie offers superior non-flammable, odor-free, and 100% solvent-free water-based products for the cleaning of wires, wet felts, dryer fabrics either through the continuous or batch type cleaning approach.
Our cleaners are more efficient than solvent-based products. The use of our cleaners provides more extended service life, and constant dewatering of machine clothing, thus resulting in energy savings, improved runnability, and fewer breaks.
Machine clothing is a necessity for papermaking machines; it keeps both wires and felts into their original, deposit-free condition during their entire operation period. It also decelerates the process of deposit formation and felt clogging by removing the accumulated undesirable impurities with the right cleaning chemistry.
GIG Chemie’s adapted conditioning chemistry provides the most efficient protective micro coating not only for paper machine clothing but also for manufacturing systems allowing prolonged clothing service lives and reduced unscheduled cleaning caused by heavy impurities in the system.
Foam occurs typically during the paper manufacturing process. The formation of foam can sometimes interrupt production processes, creates unnecessary downtimes, thus reducing plant productivity.
Foam can sometimes occur by mechanical means, e.g., mixing and due to turbulence in the process and through chemical reactions between papermaking additives.
The existence of foam must, therefore, be considered as an unwanted but inevitable fact in the papermaking industry. Defoamers have to be used in the manufacturing process to prevent foam formation.
GIG defoamer offers the best performance antifoaming agent available in the market, equally suitable for all grades of paper with 100 % active ingredients. Accurate surface foam control is one of its unique and distinguished properties. Its excellent emulsifying properties make it an efficient deaeration agent, which can be widely used in all processing systems. We also offer different types of defoamer or deaerator, depending on customer needs.
