Paper
A symbol of civilization, paper has accompanied human evolution, essential in everyday care and in preserving history.
We continuously optimize our treatments to reduce both the environmental impact and production system costs, while fostering long-term partnerships.
Our chemical solutions enhance paper production quality, positively affecting key properties such as softness, formation, and mechanical strength of the final product.
Our programme includes specific measurements and tests carried out by our experts, using a personalized and technologically advanced approach to deliver tailor-made solutions for each customer.
Renzyme Line
Enzymatic technology applied to recycled pulp improves the mechanical properties of recycled paper, enhancing production efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
This line of treatments can be used to achieve multiple benefits:
Yankee coating
The Yankee cylinder is the heart of tissue production, where ensuring high quality and stability is essential.
We have developed a wide range of advanced treatments capable of delivering excellent production quality for every type of paper, tailored to the characteristics and goals of each customer.
The NCR Biochemical product line ensures optimal protection of the Yankee cylinder while maintaining high efficiency.
The technology behind our products also enables perfect adhesion of the paper sheet to the cylinder and allows for optimal management of the coating process, leading to outstanding results in both quality and productivity.
Retention and drainage
To reduce environmental impact and costs, minimizing waste is essential.
We offer customized solutions – both single and multi-component – that help retain fibres and additives, improving paper quality.
Benefits include increased water drainage and production speed, optimized drying, and better sheet formation and strength.
Defoamers
Foam, commonly found in pulp and paper production, can lead to pump cavitation, measurement errors, and defects in the final product quality.
We have developed effective solutions to eliminate and prevent foam formation, tailored for every type of plant.
Wire and felt conditioning
The increased use of recycled paper leads to a build-up of contaminants in the production cycle.
Our products effectively remove deposits and impurities, ensuring maximum performance of forming wires and press felts at all times.
Drying section
The build-up of contaminants and dirt in the drying section is one of the main causes of paper quality defects and production losses.
Our passivation technology for dryer cylinders and dryer fabrics addresses these issues by preventing deposit formation and improving overall quality.
The Si.Pro.Tes system, with tailored dosing, enhances heat transfer, reduces breaks in the dryer and rewinder sections, minimizes cleaning shutdowns, and increases machine runnability.
Control of pitch and stickies
The introduction of resinous and synthetic contaminants into the production cycle—originating from pulp and recycled paper—can lead to critical deposits on wires and felts. To tackle these issues, we offer two complementary approaches:
These treatments help prevent unplanned shutdowns and extend the machine’s operational life.
We also offer laboratory analysis using flow cytometry, a technology that enables us to precisely assess the customer’s stickies issues and identify the most suitable, customized treatment.
Biocides
The proliferation of bacteria, fungi, and algae during the production process can lead to waste, machine breaks, and frequent shutdowns for cleaning.
We offer a complete range of biocides and anti-fermentative agents specifically designed for fresh water, wire water, and wastewater; short and long loops; coatings; starch solutions; mineral fillers in dispersion; label paper; wallpaper and fungus-resistant paper; adhesives for cartons; and catalase inhibitors used in cellulose bleaching processes.
All our products comply with FDA and BfR regulations for paper intended for food contact.
Recovery of fibres
Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of the process, we offer tailor-made solutions for systems such as fibre recovery machines (DAF, Polydisc, sedimentation tanks), clarification plants, filter or belt presses, and centrifugal machines.
Our programs enhance the efficiency of fibre recovery units, improve wastewater quality, and reduce treatment costs.
Other treatments
In addition to the main process applications, NCR Biochemical completes its range of treatments with specific products for different production needs, such as:
