EXTRA WHITE™ Technology for Brightness

EXTRA WHITE Technology for Brightness effectively and efficiently enables the paper industry to raise the whiteness and brightness standards of their grades while positively impacting the uniformity of shade in a manner that is unprecedented in the industry for hi-bright paper manufacture. This innovative new technology delivers cost-effective brightness and whiteness development in both an environmentally friendly and safe manner, while having a positive impact on operational efficiency as compared to traditional brightness development methods.

The benefits of EXTRA WHITE Technology for Brightness are derived primarily from the unique ability of the technology to reduce thermal reversion throughout the papermaking process and activate Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs). This allows papermakers to recognize up to a one point increase in ISO brightness while simultaneously reducing OBA consumption by up to 50 percent. This creates value to the papermaker by providing an alternative method of achieving increasing brightness specifications while at the same time delivering a significant reduction in many of the inherent negative effects associated with excessive OBA use of other alternative brightness development methods.

EXTRA WHITE Technology for Brightness has been commercially and technically proven to provide enhanced brightness and more cost-effective brightness/whiteness development in both coated and uncoated woodfree (freesheet) and wood-containing (mechanical) paper grades.
