Noviant provides a comprehensive range of Finnfix CMC grades specially developed for use in the paper and board industry. These grades are tailored to meet the specific needs of modern paper manufacturing.

Finnfix CMC grades are used in

  • Paper and Board Coating
  • Wet End
  • Surface Sizing
  • Special Applications

Finnfix CMC is used effectively independent of coating technology and in a large variety of coating formulations. It is a very cost efficient product. It provides several important properties to the coating colour and ensures high quality of the coated end product even under extreme conditions. The main functions of Finnfix CMC in the coating colour are:

  • Rheology modifier
  • OB carrier
  • Water retention agent
  • Binding agent

Finnfix CMC is also frequently used in surface sizing of paper and board. Due to its high binding power it improves the paper strength and its film-forming properties regulate the porosity and increases the hold-out. This is the reason why Finnfix CMC is widely used in the production of cigarette papers, silicone base paper, and greaseproof papers and in board for curl control. Additionally, Finnfix CMC controls the rheology of the size solution and imparts water retention.

Special developed Finnfix grades are successfully used in the wet end to

  • Improve formation
  • Increase smoothness
  • Reduce linting
  • Improve strength properties
  • Improve retention of the wet strength resin
  • Reduce porosity
  • Improve hold-out
