Food Grade Lubricants for the Paper Industry

The very first step in manufacturing paper and carton food packages takes place at the producer of paper and board. In today’s modern world and with the ever-growing concerns for consumer safety and health awareness the technology of the lubrication and paper and board machines needs to be revised and changed dramatically.

Together with leading European producers of paper and board Matrix Specialty Lubricants has developed, tested, and successfully launched a line of products that is non-toxic, food grade and offers ultimate lubrication performance. By these means, we are meeting performance requirements as well as the ever-increasing demands by consumer organization and aware food producers who care for our health. By replacing conventional and traditional paper machine lubricants we offer an alternative that do not only comply to but also are ahead of today’s standards by the food and paper industries, both on performance and consumer safety.

Challenges and Solutions in Paper and Board Production

CHALLENGES
