Elevate Paper Production with Evonik’s Advanced Chemical Solutions
Paper is more than a surface—it’s a medium of performance, precision, and sustainability. From high-speed inkjet printing to pulp bleaching and water treatment, Evonik delivers a comprehensive portfolio of specialty chemicals that enhance every stage of paper manufacturing. Whether you're producing decor paper, thermal paper, or industrial-grade pulp, our solutions help you achieve efficient bleaching, sharper prints, and stronger sheets.
Why Choose Evonik for Paper Production?
- Proven Performance: Trusted brands like AERODISP®, AEROSIL®, HYPROX®, SIPERNAT®, VESTOPLAST®, and ZEOPOL® deliver consistent quality and functionality across paper applications.
- No Halogenated By-Products: The application of hydrogen peroxide in chemical pulp bleaching does not produce halogenated compounds in the pulp (OX) or in the effluent (AOX).
- Tailored Innovation: Our additives and process aids are engineered to meet the demands of modern paper production—from digital printing to pulp processing.
Solutions by Application Area
Digital & Inkjet Paper
- AERODISP®, AEROSIL®, SIPERNAT® – Silica-based additives for ink absorption, print sharpness, and surface smoothness.
- DEGACRYL® – With our acrylic binders, paper becomes heat-sealable and at the same time certain barrier properties – for instance against water or grease – are improved.
Pulp Bleaching & Water Treatment
- HYPROX® – Standard hydrogen peroxide grade for chemical and mechanical pulp bleaching and for paper recycling with de-inking. In mechanical pulp bleaching it provides high brightness and brightness stability against ageing and yellowing.
- ZEOPOL® – Clear sodium silicate solution used in pulp peroxide bleaching and in de-inking of recycled paper. It acts as a stabilizer for hydrogen peroxide, pH buffer, corrosion inhibitor and deactivator of transition metals, and prevents pulp alkali darkening.
Tissue & Towel
- AROSURF® – Wet end softeners and debonders for tissue and towel manufacture.
Paper and Board Functionality
- HYDREX® – Precipitated magnesium aluminosilicate for brightness, opacity and as a TiO₂ extender. Its pore structure provides a significant number of light scattering interfaces between air, pigment and fibre, increasing paper opacity and brightness and imparting a bluish-white shade.
- CARPLEX®, VESTOPLAST® – Functional polymers and binders for enhanced printability, heat resistance, and surface finish.
The Evonik Advantage
- Reliable Quality: Manufactured under strict controls to ensure consistency and performance.
- Process Efficiency: Reduce downtime, improve throughput, and enhance product quality with multifunctional additives.
- Expert Support: Our specialists work closely with paper producers to optimize formulations and meet evolving market demands.
