Applications for forest products

Bleach boosting
Xylanase provides kraft pulp mills with savings on bleaching chemicals and increases the final brightness in ECF and TCF sequences.

 

Fibre modification and deinking
Amylases and cellulases for fiber modification and deinking results in better ink removal, higher brightness, faster drainage, and enhanced tissue softness.

 

Lignin modification/effluent control
Laccase enables you to achieve improved strength properties in products prepared from unbleached pulp, and reduce color or BOD/COD levels in effluents.

 

Peroxide control
Catalases are ideal for monitoring and optimizing peroxide levels during pulp bleaching. After bleaching, the enzyme can also be added to degrade residual peroxide, significantly decreasing environmental impact.

 

Pitch control
Lipases provide higher paper strength with fewer sheet defects, reduces downtime and cleaning frequency for felts and rolls. The enzyme effect means you can improve paper quality and process economy for your mechanical pulp processing.

 

Refining – energy reduction
Obtain a reduction in refining energy with FiberCare® R. This cellulase reduces the refining energy used to develop various pulps.

 

Starch modification
Amylases give papermills an in-house, cost-effective process for modifying starch resulting in reduced production costs.

Stickies Control
Avoid sticky problems in your recycling mill with Stickaway®. This unique enzymatic solution addresses common elements of paper machine deposits.
