About

Paper & Board

Our mineral fillers have become indispensable in the paper and board industry.

Our kaolin, bentonite, and calcium carbonate are indispensable in the paper and board industry. Kaolin, a clay mineral, enhances paper smoothness, brightness, and opacity, improving printability. Bentonite, a type of clay, acts as a retention aid, enhancing paper strength and reducing drainage.

Calcium carbonate serves as a filler, increasing paper bulk and reducing production costs. Together, they optimize its properties, such as strength, brightness, and printability, resulting in high-quality products. Their versatile applications contribute to the efficiency and sustainability of the paper manufacturing process, meeting diverse market demands.
