Specialized Kaolin for Strength and Visual Impact
Containerboard packaging is the backbone of global shipping and logistics, requiring materials that are both strong and visually appealing. KaMin’s high-performance mineral solutions are engineered to improve the durability, surface quality, and production efficiency of containerboard products.
Whether used in corrugated boxes for e-commerce or in premium, white-lined chipboards (WLCC) for retail displays, KaMin minerals deliver the reliability and performance that brands and manufacturers need to meet growing packaging demands.
Strength and Durability Where It Matters Most
In packaging applications, strength and durability are non-negotiable. KaMin minerals enhance the structural integrity of containerboard by providing:
- Reinforced Strength: Calcined clays, like Ansilex93, improve the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of containerboard by increasing the hiding power and bulk of white top liners, ensuring packaging can withstand heavy handling and shipping stress.
- Impact and Compression Resistance: When combined with chemical additives in the fiber matrix, Ansilex 93 enhances packaging strength, reducing the risk of crushing and damage to better protect contents during transport.
- Moisture Resistance: KaMin hydrous products enhance barrier properties, protecting packaging from humidity and moisture exposure. They are also well-suited for oxygen, aroma, oil, and grease barriers, ensuring product integrity across various applications.
- Lightweight Efficiency: Engineered solutions allow for thinner, lighter packaging without sacrificing strength, lowering material costs and shipping weight.
Superior Print Surfaces for Brand Visibility
Beyond strength, containerboard must support clear, vibrant and crisp high-definition graphics for brand recognition and consumer appeal. KaMin solutions optimize the surface quality of containerboard by offering:
- Smooth, Uniform Surfaces: KaMin’s calcined kaolin clays, through their bulk, create smoother surfaces that enhance printability, ensuring crisp, high-definition graphics.
- Brightness and Whiteness: For white-lined chipboard (WLCC) and premium packaging, KaMin minerals deliver the brightness needed for eye-catching designs.
- Cost-Efficient Coating: KaMin’s minerals reduce coating requirements while maintaining print quality, offering both performance and cost savings.
Versatile Kaolin Solutions for Diverse Containerboard Applications
KaMin minerals are adaptable across various types of containerboard packaging, including:
- White-Lined Chipboard (WLCC): For retail-ready displays and premium packaging, KaMin’s calcined clays deliver superior surface quality and printability.
- Coated Natural Kraft (CNK): Ideal for beverage carriers and heavy-duty packaging, KaMin minerals ensure durability without compromising aesthetics.
- Linerboard: KaMin’s solutions improve white top linerboard performance with lightweight strength and smooth surfaces for printing.
- Corrugated Containers: Used for e-commerce, shipping, and bulk packaging, KaMin minerals improve strength and durability.
