paper

The invention of the alkaline production process- with which some 80% of the world's wood - free paper stock is made today - gave the paper industry access to the outstanding cost - effectiveness of calcium carbonate fillers and coating pigments. From the very beginning, the OMYA Group commited itself to this development with significant research funding and was the first filter manufacturer to serve the paper industry with a Paper Academy.Work in paper-related application technologies is supported by one of the world's most flexible pilot coating systems as well as by a 10-roll supercallender. For their papermaking and testing needs , our customers can rely on state-of-the-art laboratories housing the latest analytical equipment.The objective - in a holistic way from the fiber to printing - is to support customers with know-how and creativity in their problem-solving efforts and in the implementation of new projects.OMYA calcium carbonates in powder or slurry form do not only improve the whiteness and printability of paper. Newly developed fillers and coating carbonates also enhance opacity,coverage, and printability.
