The South African economy benefits from the paper and ink sectors, which are essential to packaging, education, and communication. According to the Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa (PAMSA), the paper and pulp sector directly employs more than 30 000 people and makes a substantial contribution to our GDP.
Using innovative and high-quality chemicals is crucial for paper and ink producers to ensure effective production, competitive products, and environmental sustainability. Gold Reef Speciality Chemicals produces various high-performance, bespoke chemicals for the paper and ink industry in South Africa. Our commitment to world-class chemicals is complemented by our unique speciality services that help us guarantee the ideal products for your company.
Gold Reef improving the production of paper and ink
Binders, dispersants, and wetting agents are all part of Gold Reef’s product range for the paper and ink industries. These substances are essential for streamlining manufacturing procedures and guaranteeing that the finished product satisfies performance requirements.
- Binders – Paper fibres are held together by binders, which function as a kind of glue. They give the finished paper products strength, tear resistance, flexibility, and various surface characteristics.
- Dispersants – These help to break down and evenly distribute pigments and inks. This keeps particles from settling or clumping during usage and storage and guarantees a constant ink colour. Gold Reef’s dispersants offer improved pigment dispersion, decreased viscosity, reduced waste and improved stability for inks and dyes.
- Wetting agents – These substances make it easier for liquids, like water, to spread out and stick to surfaces. Wetting agents are essential in the paper and ink industries because they distribute water uniformly throughout the pulp and encourage fibre bonding, which improves the strength of the finished product. They also enhance the ink’s capacity to spread and stick to the paper surface during inkjet printing, producing sharper images with minimal bleed.
