Minerals Technologies, New York City, N.Y., USA, disclosed this past week that it has implemented a commercial agreement to use its Fulfill® E-325 high filler technology on a paper machine at a mill in India. This brings to 20 the number of paper mills that have commercially adopted the novel Fulfill E-325 technology to reduce costs by replacing pulp with filler and to improve paper machine runnabilty. The paper company wished to remain unnamed for competitive reasons.
"We are extremely pleased that this fine producer of high quality printing and writing papers has chosen to build upon the positive results that came with the earlier startup of an on-site PCC (precipitated calcium carbonate) satellite plant. PCC filler has enabled better quality and lower cost and we are confident that Fulfill will extend their savings." said Joseph C. Muscari, chairman and CEO.
The Fulfill E-325 series allows papermakers to increase loading levels of PCC, replacing higher cost fiber, and increasing PCC usage without compromising paper quality or performance. The advancement of this new technology confirms the commercial progress of the Fulfill brand, which offers papermakers a variety of efficient, flexible solutions that decrease dependency on natural fiber and reduce costs.
