Pulp and paper

Detailed description

In paper coating applications, selecting the right Finnfix® solution will help the manufacturer to adjust the rheology to different shear conditions such as pumping, mixing, screening and metering. In addition to rheology modification, Finnfix® grades provide good water retention and for this reason Finnfix® is used to control water and material movement to anchor the coating to its base and additionally ensure a high quality of the coated surface. Film forming properties of Finnfix® CMCs are of importance when a barrier layer is formed on a paper surface.
