Paper Binders

Our diverse selection of Paper coating chemicals deliver critical performance features, such as high gloss, brightness, moisture resistance, opacity, enhanced printability and dimensional stability. This capability was recently expanded with the acquisition of our hollow plastic pigment (HPP) product line. These products are typically used in paper coatings to provide gloss, opacity and an enhanced printing surface. Our binder chemistries deliver strength, stiffness, dimensional stability and resistance to moisture for a wide variety of end uses.
