The pulp and paper industry depends on chemical processes to achieve efficiency, quality, and sustainability at every stage of production. Aqueous ammonia is one of the most versatile chemicals used in this sector, providing benefits in both paper recycling and virgin pulp processing.

In recycling applications, aqueous ammonia is a highly effective agent for de-inking paper. It helps loosen printing inks and coatings from fibres, allowing mills to recover clean pulp that can be reprocessed into new, high-quality paper products. This process reduces waste and supports circular economy goals by enabling paper to be recycled more times without losing strength or performance.

Aqueous ammonia is also widely used in the manufacture of virgin pulp, where it plays a role in breaking down wood chips during pulping. By helping to soften fibres and control pH levels, ammonia makes the pulping process more efficient and improves fibre yield. It can also be used as a bleaching agent, ensuring a brighter and more uniform final product without leaving harmful residues. In coating operations, aqueous ammonia supports the preparation of paper surfaces, giving a smoother finish and improving printability.

At Blended Products, we supply aqueous ammonia in a variety of concentrations and pack sizes to meet the needs of both small specialist producers and large-scale paper mills. With ISO 9001:2015 certification and strict quality controls, we ensure consistent supply and dependable service to keep your operations running without interruption.
