Paper & Board Industry
From brightness to bulk, 20 Microns engineers precision mineral solutions that help paper mills improve quality, control costs and run smoother across paper and board grades.
01
We speak the language of papermaking. Our mineral solutions are engineered around low brightness and opacity, rising fibre costs, pitch and stickies deposits, poor drainage and retention, and inconsistent print quality.
Kaolin, calcined kaolin and calcium carbonate improve brightness, opacity, smoothness and print definition.
Purpose-selected fillers replace expensive fibre while maintaining sheet quality, bulk and machine performance.
Talc and bentonite control pitch and stickies while improving retention, drainage and machine runnability.
Mineral selection, particle-size control and application support turn recurring paper-machine issues into measurable quality and productivity gains.
Finished paper can miss premium whiteness and opacity specifications.
High-brightness kaolin, calcined kaolin, calcium carbonate and TiO₂ improve light scattering and sheet appearance.
Virgin fibre and pulp prices place continued pressure on paper and board margins.
Controlled filler grades support economical fibre replacement while protecting bulk, strength and surface quality.
Deposits and filler loss increase downtime, sheet breaks and effluent load.
Talc and bentonite adsorb deposits, improve retention and support faster, cleaner drainage.
