Binders and Dispersions for the Paper Industry

In nature, cellulose fibers make up the supporting structure of plant cells. Their excellent mechanical properties are particularly useful when it comes to decorative foils, filters or wallpaper. BTC Europe’s dispersions from BASF offer binders with great bonding strength and dimensional stability which are particularly suitable for cellulose fibers. When used in high-quality decorative paper foil, our binders ensure a high level of stability of the bonded fibers. In addition, the finished foil is ideal for printing and coating. Nonwoven wallpaper that has been processed with BTC’s binders is particularly durable and, due to its dimensional stability, easy to apply and remove.

In addition, we offer silicate solutions of alkali metals as inorganic binders for the Paper and Board Industry. Our silicate solutions of alkali metals are used in the paper and pulp industry for uses like stabilizers for pulp bleaching, additive for de-inking of recycled paper, adhesive for the production of cardboard and industrial paper board. Our dispersions are also used in the manufacturing of packaging adhesives suitable for packaging applications such as wet labeling, folding box gluing, and the manufacture of flexible packaging, self adhesive decorative films, protective films and sound deadening sheets, self adhesive for permanent or removable paper and filmic labels, self adhesive double sided tapes, masking tapes, medical tapes, insulating tapes, packaging tapes, ducting tapes and others as well as pressure-sensitive adhesives.
