CHT Group will be showcasing its sustainable paper solutions at its booth C27 at the MIAC paper trade fair in Lucca, Italy. MIAC is the trade fair for the latest developments in the European paper industry with a focus on tissue and converting.

The CHT Group sees itself as a partner for sustainable products and solutions to optimally support paper producers in achieving their sustainability goals. These sustainability goals may comprise energy and resource savings, a high recycling rate, the reduction of CO2 emissions, and the use of all-natural products to support the circular economy.

New Water Treatment Technology
Clean water circuits are essential for fast and reliable paper production. Microbiological contamination can lead to significant downtimes due to frequent cleaning intervals. It is therefore inevitable to implement a cost-effective water treatment program. Common biocides usually contain oxidizing agents, isothiazolinones or DBNPA.

With BIOTIKOS CHT has recently developed a completely new concept of water treatment. This sustainable technology redefines conventional water treatment.

Andrea Cerasaro will give a presentation about the successful implementation of this new technology at Cartiera del Vignaletto on October 10 at 11:50 a.m. during the MIAC Chemicals Conference.

BIOLAY
Experience our latest generation of BIOLAY, which meets the highest regulatory requirements such as the Single Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) EU 2019/904 and the new European Packaging Regulation EU 2025/40. BIOLAY excels in grease and oil barriers for fast food packaging.

Besides its SUPD compliance this innovative product is completely free from synthetically produced compounds, biodegradable and free from fluorocarbons.

The newly developed BIOLAY barrier products can be adapted precisely to the necessary requirements with our new plant-based CHT-COAT WAX emulsions. The paraffin-free biodegradable products optimally complement the performance of the BIOLAY range.

Energy-Saving Enzyme Technology
In times of high energy prices, our intelligent enzyme technologies QUIMIZIME and ZIAX help significantly reduce refining energy, chemicals, fibers, and water usage. These powerful biocatalysts also ensure gentle fiber fibrillation, allowing higher strengths to be achieved. Over the course of 10 years CHT has developed multiple enzyme generations with tailor-made properties for the respective paper and pulp grades. CHT enzymes can be used for the treatment of various fiber raw materials and improve the fibrillation at the lowest water retention without mechanically straining the fiber. Depending on the application, they provide several advantages, e.g. faster drainage, a reduction of mechanical refining energy and improved mechanical properties of the paper/board. CHT enzymes can be applied in packaging and tissue mills treating both virgin and recycled fibers.

Sticky Control Program
Our new TUXOL PSR-70 DE felt and wire treatment agent, supported by CHT-FIX 100T, ensures even more efficient production by effectively avoiding stickies. When using our products you’ll benefit from a better paper quality. A maximum fiber yield as well as higher felt and wire lifetimes result, too. With our felt and wire treatment agent there will be less machine downtime. In addition, the improved drainage helps reduce water, steam and energy consumption.

The CHT Group's newly developed solutions support the transition from the fossil age to a sustainable circular economy.

Don't miss the opportunity to learn more about our sustainable solutions for a more environmentally conscious world. Come and visit us at booth C27 and make the initial move.
