WET-END APPLICATIONS (Inside the Paper Sheet)
Intro:
The wet-end is where pulp fibers are formed into a continuous paper web. Everest starch solutions used in this stage control fiber bonding, filler retention, internal sizing, sheet formation, and strength development. These products ensure a strong, uniform, and stable paper structure before drying begins.Our range of wet-end starches gives manufacturers greater control over the paper-making process. It helps to improve the formation, drainage, retention and paper strength, and allows for the increase of the recycled fiber content in the final sheet, without quality loss.The wet-end phase of the paper-making process takes place at the first part of the paper machine
Evercat
Role:
Positively charged starch that bonds strongly with negatively charged fibers and fillers. It improves fiber-to-fiber bonding, increases filler retention, improves sheet formation, and builds dry and wet strength while supporting internal sizing.
Area of Use: White paper, printing paper, recycled paper, packaging paper, linerboard, corrugating medium.
Everoxi
Role:
Provides better penetration and bonding inside the sheet, improves internal strength, stiffness, and surface integrity during sheet formation. Supports stable sheet formation at high machine speeds.
Area of Use: Coated base paper, glossy paper base, carton board, packaging papers.
EverSpray
Role:
Sprayed uncooked onto the wet paper web after the headbox. It increases internal bond strength, improves ply bonding in thick boards (300 GSM and above), and helps maintain machine speed when wet-end conductivity is high.
Area of Use: Duplex boards, carton boards, packaging papers, printing and writing papers.
DRY-END APPLICATIONS (Surface Sizing & Coating)
Intro:
The dry-end is where the paper surface is strengthened, sealed, and finished. Everest starch solutions used here improve surface strength, printability, gloss, smoothness, and water resistance through surface sizing and coating, giving the paper its final performance and appearance.
Evercat
Role:
Provides excellent surface bonding, improves ink hold-out, increases print sharpness, and binds coating pigments strongly to the paper surface.
Area of Use: White paper, printing paper, coated paper, glossy paper, packaging paper.
Everoxi
Role:
Improves surface strength, stiffness, smoothness, and water resistance. Enhances coating adhesion and prevents dusting, cracking, and surface picking.
Area of Use: Glossy papers, coated papers, high-quality packaging boards, laminated sheets.
Everdex Y
Role:
Provides flexibility, adhesion, and bonding in surface sizing and coatings. Helps the paper surface withstand folding, creasing, and printing stresses.
Area of Use: Packaging papers, folding carton boards, printed packaging, glossy packaging paper.
Everdex W
Role:
Adds stiffness, smoothness, and heat stability to the paper surface. Improves dimensional stability and clean surface finish for printing and converting.
Area of Use: White papers, printing papers, glossy papers, coated boards.
