Fiberglass
Our range of minerals brings several benefits to fibreglass applications. Having high levels of alumina with a consistent chemistry including low levels of alkali, carbon and sulfur. These properties of our products contribute to enabling a high level performance of our customers’ processes minimising downtime maximising yields Physical properties Carbon black is amorphous para-crystalline carbon […]
Ceramics
Artemyn’s minerals are used in a wide range of ceramics applications in various industries where they deliver multiple benefits and advantages: whiteness opacity high alumina content refractoriness low pyro plastic deformation good casting properties Physical properties Carbon black is amorphous para-crystalline carbon [C]. Electrical conductivity Resistance to wear Insoluble in water Reinforcement Chemically inert Tiles […]
Deposit Control
For runnability in both pulp and paper production, pulp cleanliness is critical, and as such the material leaving the pulping process must be as free of deposits and dirt spots as possible. When pulp isn’t completely deposit-free at production in the paper mill, it agglomerates in fabrics and dryer cylinders, which causes holes in the […]
Barrier Formulations
The drive towards more sustainable packaging is one of the defining movements of our time and is prompting a significant shift from plastic based packaging to fibre based packaging. However, in many packaging applications the package also has to provide additional functionality such as resistance to grease, moisture, oxygen or water. This is especially true […]
Coatings for Paper and Board
The role of the coating is to cover the base paper fibres to provide a uniform surface which improves the final printed quality. Physical properties Carbon black is amorphous para-crystalline carbon [C]. Electrical conductivity Resistance to wear Insoluble in water Reinforcement Chemically inert More about coating Coatings are also used to make the paper or […]
Fillers for Paper and Board
Mineral fillers are added to a wide variety of paper and board products to provide improved functionality while also lowering the overall cost of production. More about Fillers From a cost standpoint mineral fillers are generally lower cost than fibre, but also can bring improvements in productivity through improved drainage and paper machine runnability. From […]
Boiler Efficiency
Our mineral additive helps to optimize the efficiency of boilers facing slagging and fouling problems. For many boilers of different design and power, for biomass fuels, municipal solid wastes and even some types of coal, this natural additive will keep the boiler cleaner and bring many benefits: longer operation campaigns before maintenance stops easier removal […]
Pulp Bleaching
Pulp bleaching is an integral part of the paper making process for many paper and packaging applications where high brightness and whiteness products are required. This can include graphic paper, high-end packaging or white tissue paper. Pulp bleaching technologies are chemically demanding processes which use a broad range of chemicals including hydrogen peroxide, magnesium sulphate […]
