Among various surfactants commonly available, PELEX OT-P has the highest penetrating and surface tension decreasing actions. It’s excellence as the superior penetrate even at low use level. PELEX OT-P is useful in a wide range of industrial uses, textile, rubber, petroleum, paper, metal, paint, plastic and agrochemical.

Product Name	Chemical Name	Appearance	Properties
PELEX OT-P	Sodium di-octyl sulfosuccinate	Sodium di-octyl sulfosuccinate	Excellent wetting and penetrating agent High chemical stability to hard water, acid, alkali, salts In part of Thermal paper using: Dispersant for developers and sensitizers of thermal papers

De-inking agents

pp_de-inking_agents

Kao’s de-inking agents, developed with our surface and fat science technologies, are the best in terms of floating-type de-inking systems, and enable production of high grade recycled paper. We offer a variety of de-inking agents for floatation systems, including productions for all types of used paper.

Product Name	Chemical Name	Appearance	Properties
DI-767	Nonionic surfactant	Liquid	Good ink collect ability Good valence of foaming and defoaming ability
DI-7020	Nonionic surfactant	Liquid	High performance ink stripping and collecting ability

Bulking agents

Our bulking agents enable production of paper of normal thickness from a much lower amount of virgin pulp, greatly contributing to saving resources. In addition to this bulking effect, these agents improve paper properties such as whiteness, transparency and elasticity.

Product Name	Chemical Name	Appearance	Properties
KB-85	Special surfactant	Liquid	To decrease paper density with internal addition, low weakening of paper strength and good workability of liquid type
KB-115	Nonionic surfactant	Liquid	To decrease paper density with internal addition, low weakening of paper strength and good workability of liquid type

Dispersant agents
