Technical assistance is our business
BASF understands research and
development is a major part of
sustainable value creation. The
analysis of the performance of our
products and the analysis of your
system are very important parameters
for optimization. The goal is
to find and develop easy to handle
methods for a sharp analysis.
DIP-based furnish for newsprint is
becoming more and more important.
As a consequence, problems related
to printing quality and runnability in the
pressrooms, are more frequent.
IGT wet-pick-strength is one of the best
methods for simulation of the offset
printing process.
Using the polymer supported AKD
products (e.g. Basoplast ® 860 D)
the wet-pick-strength of a DIP-based
newsprint can be improved significantly.
AKD and ASA retention is a very
important parameter in the adjustment
of paper quality and the optimisation
of sizing performance. Therefore an
on-site method for measuring AKD
retention has been developed.
The AKD retention measurements,
combined with years of experience
are used to select the very best sizing
concept for your machine.
