Graphic Paper Grades

Mechanical Grades of paper continue to face both economic and technical challenges.The changing global economy, competition from alternative media and “grade swapping” require manufactures to carefully manage their production costs. In addition, the integrated nature of the manufacturing process and the use of both virgin and recycled fiber create unique technical challenges.

Nalco provides a comprehensive portfolio of programs to the manufacturers of mechanical grades.These state of the art programs result from grade specific research that is focused on key customer drivers such as cost, brightness, opacity, gloss, and printability.

In addition, Nalco’s expertise in water and wet end chemistry allows us to improve the stability and efficiency of the process, as well as the end-product quality by eliminating any incompatibilities between applications.
