ENEIDE

Flame retardants / fireproofing agents for paper and paperboard

ENEIDE products are a range of flame retardants for paper and paperboard for surface application.

The cellulose starts its decomposition at 300°C, developing gases which ignite at 350°C; adding ENEIDE the composition of these gases changes, avoiding the ignition and the spread of flames.

ENEIDE product range is the result of different worldwide experiences concerning flame retardancy of paper and paperboard.

The wide ENEIDE range ensures the achievement of the European standards required in several application fields.

Fireproofing mechanisms:
•  Protective coating formation
•  Gas evolution
•  Thermic action
•  Dehydration action

STRIP range is made of detergents, dispersants of different nature: acids, basics or neutrals. In this way each specific problem will obtain the best result.

APPLICATIONS:
• Cycles washing (long and short)
•  Wires washing
•  Felts washing

VIBIOS

Biocides

VIBIOS is a range of biocides, they are formulated with different active principles able to offer a complete protection against the microbiological degradation in a wide range of industrial treatments.

The products of the VIBIOS range are used to solve different problems in the working processes and, depending on the function performed, they can be categorized in:
•  Fungicides
•  Bactericides
•  Algaecides
•  Antislime
•  Anti-mould
•  Biodispersant
•  Disinfectants

As regards the typology and the application sector, the use of VIBIOS products allows:   
•  Preventing and control of the microbiological contamination.
•  Conservation of the industrial products in aqueous phase and intermediate phase.
•  Conservation in time of handmade articles of synthetical or natural origin.
•  Inhibition of growth for fungi, moulds, yeasts, which cause degradation and unpleasant odors

VIKING

Deinking agents

VIKING is range of deinking agents highly efficient in all deinking plants.

Their foamy coagulant components can capture all inks mixture formed during the waste paper recycling.
These products increase the white grade of the end product.

VIKING products are particularly efficacious to treat strong inks like: flexographic, laser, serigraphy, u.v. glazing and inks of old printings. Furthermore, it can reduce the presence of hot melts in the waste paper, so it can increase the paste quality.

VIKING products assure good results even if temperatures are from 25 °C to 30°C at neutral pH, so the running costs of the plant are reduced.

DROP

Pulping assistants

DROP is a range of synthetic adjuvants studied to improve the pulping of the fibres into the pulper.

The range offers wetting agents and oxidants to provide a better wettability of the paper and an easier opening of the cellulose fibers with the benefit to reduce the pulping time in the pulper, also for wet resistant sheets.

CELTIS

Synthetic and natural adjuvants to improve the mechanical characteristics of the paper sheet and co-binders for coating.

CELTIS is a range of synthetic and natural adjuvants intended to improve mechanical characteristics of the paper sheet.

CELTIS are subdivided into the following families:
CELTIS RES - Wet strength resins
CELTIS DS - Dry strength resins
CELTIS C - Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)
CELTIS P - Protein

Using CELTIS products has following benefits:
•  increasing of mechanical characteristics of the paper sheet - traction, blast, etc
•  reduction of refining time, decreasing energy consumptions.
•  increasing of the fixing, so optimisation of resins consumptions for sizing and wet strength such as Kimene
•  reduction of the powder into the machine
•  augmentation of retention charge and pigments
•  better formation of the sheet, the retention helped by the product addiction, allows a better water drainage, improving the work of the machine and the plant potentials.
•  reduction of synthetic binders into the coating; better printability.

VIRES

Anti stickies

VIRES is a range of products studied to prevent or reduce deposits on the cylinder of wires, on the felts and on the drying cylinder with action of passivation, fixation, dispersion, etc.

VIRES product are particularly indicated into production process which use pulp.

REFLEX

Fluorescence inhibitor

REFLEX is a range of cationic water-soluble polymers, recommended to neutralize the fluorescence effect derived to the presence of optical brightness.

REFLEX can be used during the production changes, when the production turns from white paper with optical brightness to coloured paper or without optical brightness, with the aim to reduce the time of production changes and the washing of machine cycles.

MECRIL

Dispersants / antilimestone

MECRIL is a range of liquid dispersing, antiscale agents based on organic polymers, with a delaying effect on the salts crystallization threshold, which determines the hardness of water.
MECRIL are added into water of circuits to preserve to scale deposits.

These products acts according to their formulation  inhibiting or stabilizing the crystals formation, increasing the salts solution or dispersing the already formed crystals.

VIFLOC
