The market research analysis categorizes the global paper chemicals
market into five major segments based on chemicals, of which the top
three segments are discussed in detail below:

• Bleaching chemicals
• Pulping agents
• Sizing agents
• Binders
• Other chemicals

Global paper chemicals market by bleaching chemicals

Bleaching chemicals are widely used in the manufacture of paper. These
chemicals eliminate dark colored lignin impurities that are present in
the pulp. They increase the brightness, reduce pitch content, lighten
the color, and improve the clarity of pulp.

Hydrogen peroxide, chlorine gas, ozone, oxygen, peracetic acid, chlorine
dioxide, formamidine sulfuric acid or thiourea dioxide, hypochlorous
acid, sodium bisulfite, calcium oxide, zinc hydrosulfite, sodium
chlorate, and others are some of the common oxidizing bleaching
chemicals used in paper manufacturing.

Alkaline hydrogen peroxide is the most commonly used bleaching chemical
for mechanical pulp. Sodium dithionite, also known as sodium
hydrosulfite, is another important chemical used to brighten mechanical
pulps. The negative impact of bleaching chemicals on the environment has
restricted the acceptance of these chemicals.

Global paper chemicals market by pulping agents

The market for pulping agents is anticipated to grow considerably during
the forecast period as pulping is a crucial step in the process of paper
manufacturing. The pulping process provides strength to the paper by
increasing the fiber strength and cellulose content.

“Pulping is employed to rupture the internal bond of wood by using
the chemical or the mechanical process. The chemical process of pulping
includes sulfate pulping, soda pulping, and sulfite pulping. The pulp
can be prepared by either employing the acidic process or the alkaline
process,” says Ajay.

Global paper chemicals market by sizing agents

The market for sizing agents is anticipated to grow at a stable rate
during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the
increasing production of recycled paper and increasing use of paper for
digital printing and other purposes.

Sizing agents help to control the spread of inks, decrease porosity,
improve dewatering, decrease dusting, retain fillers and fibers,
increase dimensional stability, enhance smoothness, improve paper
machine runnability, and abrasion. These chemicals are mainly classified
into internal and surface sizing agents.
