Paper

The most significant progress in the paper industry during the last twenty years has undoubtedly been the move from acid to neutral sizing. This trend has encouraged the use of SOCAL® as a filling and coating additive to obtain very high quality paper at a reasonable price, replacing kaolin and titanium dioxide.

Coating	SOCAL® is also widely used in paper coating (magazine paper, thermosensitive paper,...) to achieve good printability with high optical performance.
Filling	Specific SOCAL® grades, used as functional fillers in paper pulp, make it possible to significantly increase whiteness, opacity, porosity and bulk. They also improve the ink receptivity of the paper. SOCAL® is widely used in fine and printing / writing papers.
