Kruger, one of North America's four lightweight coated paper producers, announced that it will use the Metso Company's annual output of 220,000 tons of ultra-lightweight coated paper (ULWC) machines installed at the Wayagamack paper mill in Quebec. Started in October. The total cost of the project is approximately 400 million Canadian dollars. It mainly produces coated ground wood pulp paper with a basis weight of 41-60 g/m2. The company calls it the second-generation super light-weight coated publication paper.
After market research, it is believed that North American publishers have to compete in the market due to the increase in postage rates and the need for lighter weight coated magazine paper. Therefore, the company made a decision to invest in the project. The new paper machine will be the first new lightweight coated paper machine to be installed in North America in 15 years.
Kruger's existing three paper machines only produce light weight paper with a medium basis weight (60-80 g/m2). After the new PM4 machine starts in October, Kruger will rise to become the second largest superlight in North America. The number of coated paper producers is second only to International Paper.
The color effect of light-coated paper can be comparable to that of coated paper, and much cheaper than the use of all chemical wood pulp and coated paper. The weight of light coated paper is generally lower than that of coated paper, which can reduce the postage of Airmail, and is popular with magazines, newspapers, and print magazines that are distributed globally or widely. On the other hand, for producers, due to the use of cheaper mechanical pulp in the production of light coated paper, the input in raw material costs is reduced by approximately 30% compared to the use of bleached chemical pulp. Around, it is possible to increase efficiency. Lightweight paper has become a hot topic in printing paper at home and abroad.
However, light-coated paper is not a bright future. Recently, light-coated paper suffers from impact from No. 3 paper (low-priced non-groundwood coated paper), groundwood-containing uncoated paper and super-pressure paper. Super pressure paper includes SCB, SCA, and SC A+. These non-coated super-pressure papers, which are distinguished by the amount of filling and the degree of surface treatment, are used for inserts, flyers, catalogues, and a large number of magazines. Although in the past people thought that overpressure paper was a more advanced type of paper than newsprint, SCA + paper has now begun to win customers who buy light coated paper. Compared to light coated paper, the quality of SC paper has steadily increased. The quality of light-coated paper has not changed substantially in the past 10 years.
The variety revolution that is taking place in the paper industry today is not only SC and light-coated paper. Cross-competition among various papers is also very popular. In particular, light-coated paper is also subject to competition from No. 3 paper. In the past 10 years, due to the decrease in the price of non-ground wood coated paper, it can replace light coated paper. Since 1993, in the United States and Europe, the percentage of non-polished coated paper in the magazine market has been rising. In this way, premium paper, light coated paper, and high value-added uncoated paper compete in the same market.
Due to the sluggish newsprint market, newsprint paper mills are turning to the production of film-coated offset printing papers, so light-coated papers are also competing with these manufacturers. All these factors, as well as the severe market conditions now, make the light coated paper market very competitive.
Experts predict that the evolutionary trend of varieties will make the paper types more confused. Unlike the previous paper No.4, the whiteness was set at 74% to 78%, and the No.5 paper had a whiteness of 68% to 73%. . As the amount of CaCO3 increases, the whiter paper will be considered No. 4 and No. 5, rather than strictly following the rules of whiteness and glossiness. Some special-purpose light-coated papers will also emerge.
The diversification of paper species will be an important trend in the market. Due to factors such as increased postage costs, rising freight rates, and efforts to obtain high returns, quantification will be further reduced. First of all, important changes will take place in the way of coating and finishing. All of these will face the pressure of increasing costs. If it is difficult to make profits in the light coated paper market in the past few years, it may be even worse with the start of the new century. The ability of coating manufacturers to determine the demand for their products in future markets is the key to their competitive advantage in the global market.
It is reported that in recent years, the demand for lightweight coated paper in China has been continuously rising. It is also one of the products that the paper mills are currently focusing on and focusing on. At present, there are more than a dozen companies that have already put into production of light-coated paper in China. This is mainly based on the production of fully-plastered light-coated paper. Individual paper mills can produce light-coated paper containing mechanical pulp.
At present, if the light-coated paper production capacity is fully utilized, the production volume can reach 700,000 tons to 800,000 tons. However, due to the fact that the product market is still in the stage of promotion and extension, and some product quality is still not able to meet the needs of users, the market has been in the past two years. The actual consumption is basically maintained at around 200,000 tons. Consumption in 2002 was about 250,000 tons. Due to the impact of the international economic downturn, the volume of exports in 2002 decreased compared to the previous year.
According to Zhao Ning from Voith Beijing Representative Office, in 2002, Shandong Chenming Paper Group ordered a four-station offline coater without paper pulp coating paper from Voith Paper Equipment. Two JanusTM MK2 calenders and their associated parent roll delivery system were turned on. With this new set of production lines, Chenming Group can use its first off-line four-station blade coater to produce single and double coated paper. Double-sided coated paper delivery users, the first printing results show that: the double-sided coated paper can be comparable with European high-quality double-sided coated paper
