Papkot's Innovative Processing Aids
Papkot has introduced its new Papkot PA category of mineral-based Processing Aids, which can reduce material usage by up to 20% while maintaining performance equivalent to traditional fibre-based containers.
According to CEO Manuel Milliery, adding just 1% of the Papkot PA to the fibre mix can result in an estimated $12.6 million in annual gross savings for a standard 280,000-tonne mill.
The company claims that the processing aids bypass the limitations of traditional additives with proprietary plastic-free and inorganic nanostructures that bond fibres at the molecular level, allowing for a 30% stiffness increase.
- 20% reduction in material usage
- Performance equivalent to traditional fibre-based containers
- 30% stiffness increase
- Optimized fibre composition
The new aids underwent ‘rigorous industrial trials’ conducted with Fedrigoni at their Cordenons and Fabriano facilities.
Author's summary: Papkot's new processing aids reduce fibre costs by 20%.
