The Tambov-based company "Pigment" increased its production of optical brighteners for the synthetic detergent and pulp and paper industries by 15%. The company achieved this result through an active import substitution policy, as well as growing demand for optical brighteners from leading Russian companies, which are taking into account modern trends in using only safe chemical components in the production of laundry detergents and paper products.
As a reminder, Pigment JSC is the only domestic manufacturer of optical brighteners, selling its products under the Belofor brand. This brand is widely known among pulp and paper mills and synthetic detergent manufacturers in Russia and abroad.
The distinctive features of optical brightener production for pulp and paper mills are ensuring consumer safety. They are used in accordance with industry standards and requirements, including those for household and industrial use.
It's worth noting that the company launched optical brightener production over 45 years ago. Over the decades, the production process has been modernized numerous times: process flow diagrams have been reconstructed, and significant work has been done to improve the product's consumer properties, including environmental friendliness, and product range expansion.
In recent years, modern optical brightener production technologies from leading European companies have been introduced. This has brought the Belofor production process up to global standards, significantly increasing the productivity of the existing process and strengthening Belofor's competitiveness in the market. Years of scientific research and strict international regulations confirm that these components are safe for human health and the environment.
