BURLINGTON, ON, April 10, 2014 /CNW/ - EcoSynthetix Inc. (TSX: ECO), a
renewable chemicals company that produces a family of commercially
proven bio-based products, today announced that it will introduce a
newly expanded EcoSphere® biolatex® product range at TAPPI's PaperCon 2014. Held at the Nashville
Convention Center from April 27-30, PaperCon is the paper industry's
largest annual conference and expo event in North America.
EcoSynthetix will introduce EcoSphere 2330, a new grade within the
Company's flagship product range. This grade of EcoSphere has been
shown to be an optimal formulation for paperboard, lightweight coated
paper and fine graphic paper applications, particularly those that
require supercalendering, which is the finishing process that gives
paper its high-gloss finish. Customers using this product have
experienced improved paper quality.
"As the world's first, and only, provider of biolatex binders, customers
use our naturally derived products every day to reduce costs, improve
performance and achieve their sustainability goals in a number of paper
and paperboard applications," said John van Leeuwen, Chief Executive
Officer of EcoSynthetix. "Our newly expanded product range demonstrates
our commitment to the paper industry and gives manufacturers more
options of EcoSphere biolatex to consider using within their unique
coating formulation."
Visitors to booth 337 at PaperCon 2014 will be able to learn more about
the EcoSynthetix' expanded range of commercially available products, as
well as the development activities currently underway for uncoated,
digital and coated paper and board applications.
