Local Manufacturing – Trusted Quality
We are dedicated to localizing our manufacturing processes to enhance supply chain efficiency and contribute to the local economy. In addition to our proprietary products, we offer a comprehensive range of papermaking chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates to meet diverse industrial needs.
SouthMountain understands that every mill is a unique operation requiring a chemical supplier to be equally as innovative, flexible and experienced. For this reason SouthMountain works to gain a clear understanding of your objectives and goals at the beginning of a project so that, together, we can achieve the best possible solution for your needs. We offer products that are specifically engineered to meet the exceptional demands of your process. Consistency, performance and high-quality play an integral role in the design and manufacturing that goes into all products.
Product 1
INFINI-TS™
INFINI-TS™ is a patented anionic optical brightener agent (OBA) that was tailored from the concepts in detergent technologies and then applied to the pulp and paper industry. It can significantly improve brightness in both neutral and slightly basic environments with no brightness reversion. Comparing to traditional stilbene-based OBA’s, it offers exceptional adhesion to fibres and fluorescence gains at a much lower cost. With the price of traditional OBA’s on the rise, INFINI-TS is an essential alternative to both wetend and coating applications.
Product 2
Optiqol™
Optiqol™ is a family of stilbene-based OBA products that help to achieve high brightness levels in paper. It is cost effective brightness-gain technology that is easily applied on TMP furnish paper from 60 ISO to 90 ISO. It is also equally as effective on Kraft, mixed-Kraft and TMP papers. The Optiqol™ product line is produced to exacting ISO quality and performance standards that meet or exceed major global OBA producers. Better overall cost effeciency, ease of application along with stability at the wet-end, size press and in various coating mixes are some of the advantages gained with Optiqol™.
Product 3
NewsBright-M™
NewsBright-M™ is a brightness aid that works to maintain pulp furnish brightness through the paper machine by chelating detrimental metals in process waters and also helps to stabilize pH and calcium carbonate (PCC/GCC). Metal contaminants in a mill’s Cloudy White Water loops catalyze the breakdown of peroxide or sodium hydrosulfite bleached furnish brightness. To prevent this brightness loss, NewsBright-M chemically binds to contaminants in all pH conditions, effectively locking-in brightness from the bleach plant, to the paper machine.
Product 4
Spectrolsperse™
Spectrolsperse™ is a non-corrosive and non-hazardous dispersant for coating applications. Its anionic polymers allow strong and easy attachments to surfaces of microparticles, resulting in effective static repulsion and dispersion. This product can largely reduce the viscosity of slurry while yielding minimal foaming.
Product 5
illumin-EX™
illuminEX™ latex product is based on butadiene, styrene and unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers and is synthesized using high-temperature emulsion polymerization. Compatible with clay and other coating materials, it can greatly increase the smoothness, gloss, whiteness and printability of paper products. illuminEX™ has high stability on machines with no adhesion to rollers.
