Why Choose Eka? System approach, from pulp to reel.  Complete line of coating additives  Industry leader in Insolubilizer chemistry  Proven application expertise Complete Line of Coating Additives Insolubilizers Surface Sizing Agents Lubricants Defoamers Wax Emulsions Rheology Agents Oil and Grease Resistance  Insolubilizers Function  Insolubilizers reduce the water solubility or sensitivity of the pigment binders used in coating formulations.  Insolubilizers strengthen the binder and improve the surface strength of the coated sheet.  Both of these attributes help the coated sheet to withstand the aqueous solutions and mechanical stresses placed on it in the printing process.  Eka Chemicals The world’s only basic producer of all FDA allowed insolubilizers Insolubilizer Selection Selecting the proper insolubilizer involves three primary Considerations:  Binder types Cure rate requirements pH considerations        EKA is well qualified to provide dependable guidelines for   optimum insolubilizer selection,      due to our experience and broad product line. Insolubilizer Selection Amino ResinsMelrez? 5350- Melamine Formaldehyde Resin Effective on all binder types (Latex, Starch, Protein, and PVOH) Slow cure rate Low free formaldehyde Excellent runnability MF resins are being phased out, and are no longer a primary insolubilizer Glyoxal Based Resins Curez? 5550 - Premium glyoxal insolubilizer Excellent insolubilization with hydroxyl (-OH) sites  Recommended for starch or PVOH binders  Excellent runnability    Higher potency than buffered glyoxal  Up to 30% efficiency improvement over competitive glyoxal insolubilizers.   Zirconium Compounds AZCOTE? – Ammonium Zirconium CarbonateKZCOTE? – Potassium Zirconium Carbonate Insolubilizes carboxyl (-COOH) and hydroxyl groups (-OH) Preferred insolubilizer for latex and protein  Rapid cure rate on machine Preferred starch insolubilizer when cure speed is principal concern Can reduce white pitch deposition Wide pH compatability (5.5 to 10.5+
