BERCHEM® 4842

BERCHEM® 4842

BERCHEM® 4842 is a low molecular weight, high value added sodium polyacrylate-based dispersant specially designed for pigmented paper coating formulations. BERCHEM® 4842 has the added value of not giving significant high viscosities at higher dosages as compared to the competitive products. Proper coating dispersion is essential to achieving good coater runnability and can significantly improve or eliminate issues such as scratching, weeping, and whiskering.

BENEFITS

  • Efficient dispersant for all types of pigments
  • Time and temperature stable
  • Liquid for easy handling
  • Does not give significantly higher viscosity

APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS

Coating Dispersant

Reactive insolubilizer for starch.latex binders in high solids pigmented coatings

BERCHEM® 4136

BERCHEM® 4136

BERCHEM® 4136 is a 100% active coating lubricant designed to be used with all types of paper coating formulations and equipment. BERCHEM® 4136 was designed to reduce and eliminate such problems as streaking, whiskering and blade weeping, as well as improving the printing surface to increase both sheet and print gloss.

BENEFITS

  • Eliminates whiskering, blade weeping, and minimizes blade scratching
  • Improves coating leveling after application at the coater head
  • Provides excellent rheological coating characteristics
  • Allows higher solids coatings
  • Improves ink holdout/print gloss
  • Increases water retention to help lower binder migration

APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS

Coating Lubricant

Increased water retention, lower high shear viscosity, and increased paper and print gloss

BERCHEM® 4011

BERCHEM® 4011

BERCHEM® 4011 is a 100% active coating lubricant designed to be used with all types of paper coating formulations and equipment. BERCHEM® 4011 was designed to improve both the wet and dry coating. Wet coating improvements include streaking, whiskering, and blade weeping. Dry coating improvements include dusting, base gloass, and print gloss. BERCHEM® 4011 has good dissolution characteristics when added to a pigmented coating under agitation.

BENEFITS

  • Eliminates whiskering, blade weeping, and minimizes blade scratching
  • Improves coating leveling after application at the coater head
  • Allows higher solids coating by improving the high shear viscosity
  • Significant improvements have been observed in both paper and print gloss
  • Has been shown to improve super calendar dusting

APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS

Coating Lubricant

Enhances wet-state lubricity. Improves gloss and on-machine coating leveling

BERCHEM® 4000

BERCHEM® 4000

BERCHEM® 4000 is a nonionic emulsion, primarily designed to impart superior lubricating properties to coating formulations used for paper and paperboard. Applications of BERCHEM® 4000 at the calender stack’s water box prevent sticking and picking. Its wide compatibility with other chemicals makes it adaptable to most formulations where lubricity and coefficient of friction reduction is required.

BENEFITS

  • Affectively lowers the Hercules Hi-Shear viscosity of a paper coating
  • Excellent coating lubricant
  • Good slip agent
  • Reduces slitter dusting
  • Prevents picking and sticking

BERSIZE® ASA Series

BERSIZE® ASA Series

Bercen alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) technology provide fast reaction rate with cellulose and develops efficiency hydrophobicity in a range of pulp furnishes.  As an internal size, ASA has less impact on final product friction properties as compared to competing AKD.

Products in the BERSIZE® ASA Series is the most suitable choice for use in precision sizing with recycled packaging (gluing and converting concerns) grades and printing & writing grades (ink/water balance).  Gives papermaker the ability to size systems down to 5.5 pH​ and presents the lowest cost-in-use sizing chemistry for most wet-end systems.  BERSIZE® ASA technology is adopted for use by many leading companies in the Paper industry. 

PENTASIZE® ASA technology provides for an equally high performing sizing agent and has an alternate supply chain well-suited to servicing the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) papermaking markets.

BENEFITS

  • Market leading internal sizing products
  • Allows manufacturer to tune sizing response for Printing & Writing and Packaging Grades
  • Highly reactive hydrophobe
  • Diverse product portfolio with sourcing agreements top-tier global suppliers

APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS

Paper Sizing

Prevents liquid and moisture penetration in a multitude of paper and paper boards
