Pulp & Paper manufacturers are facing growing demands to enhance their product’s strength, improve material rigidity, reduce material degradation, and improve sustainability throughout their product's lifecycle. By incorporating a mere 2.5% of chitin nanocrystals into your pulp & paper products, you can remarkably see a 3x increase in strength, 10x increase in water and oil resistance, flame retardancy, and improved sustainability due to our additive’s non-toxic and biodegradable nature. Neptune has also experimented with different grades of paper and seen our loading level ranging from 2.5-5% in unbleached applications to 5-10% in bleached paper applications. Please see resources below on how to utilize our additive for wet end applications and as a coating.
