De-inking
Adhesives and ink are removed
using a flotation process.
Mechanical Pulping
Woodchips are ground to separate the fibres.

Coating
for the pulp and paper industry.
In the coating process, coating
color is spread onto the paper
surface. The coating colour
contains pigments, binding
agents, and various additives.
Coating the paper several
times often improve its printing
properties. High-grade printing
paper is coated up to 3 times.
Chemical Pulping
The woodchips are cooked to
remove lignin. Burning of the

device with two or more rollers through which the paper is run.
The compression of the rollers and the application of heat give
the paper its smooth and glossy properties, like ironing shirts.
