Highly platelet-shaped kaolins to meet the highest demands
The Quarzwerke Group has been a reliable partner of the paper industry for a long time. Two product groups in particular are used:
- Coating kaolins for use in (U)LWC gravure and offset qualities, and in the precoat for paper, cardboard, fine papers and specialities.
- Filler kaolins SC and newsprint papers as well as decoration and art print qualities.
Quarzwerke Group also distributes in Central and Southern Europe BASF kaolin products from secondary deposits (USA). On account of the comprehensive product range, our kaolins are used in almost all types of paper. Thanks to optimized production and process engineering, the kaolins are being continuously adapted to the growing requirements of the market.
Kaolins for the paper industry are produced at the sites of Hirschau-Schnaittenbach in Bavaria and by the subsidiary companies Caminauer Kaolinwerk GmbH in Saxony, Surmin-Kaolin in Poland and the Ukrainian Kaolin Company in Ukraine.
