HY-BRITE® and HYDROS®

In order to meet our customer's needs, we offer two product ranges: HY-BRITE® and Hydros®.

The HY-BRITE® range has been specially designed for the paper industry. Products in this range are formulated with chelating agents and stabilisers.

The HY-BRITE® range offers products which are tailored to each application.

The Hydros® range is designed to fulfil the specific requirements of the textile and china clay industries plus other applications.

In addition to the products themselves, we also provide automated dissolving units that are designed to ensure optimum performance of our products.

Characteristics

The products manufactured in Engis using the zinc route offer much higher levels of stability than those produced using sodium formate.

This characteristic substantially enhances the product's performance and significantly reduces the risk of decomposition and odour. This stability imparts a shelf life of over 18 months.

The high density of our products (1150-1300 g/dm3) allows more compact packaging. The zinc route product is substantially less dusty giving improved handling.

Our reducing agents contain no formaldehyde derivatives whatsoever.
Packaging

We supply three types of packaging: drums, returnable containers and soluble bags. All our packaging is UN approved.

Drums are available in 25 kg and 50 kg.
We also offer 2 tonne returnable containers which are compatible with the Silox dissolving unit.

For smaller applications we supply soluble bags (5kg standard) – Hydropac.

Dissolving Units

As well as our products we also supply dissolving units that have been designed to ensure the optimum performance of our products.

Silox dissolving units :

  • are fully automated;
  • designed for low maintenance;
  • minimise manual handling;
  • ensure the accurate, controlled and automatic dosage of the product;
  • ensure rapid and efficient dissolution of the product;
  • provide a constant, stable solution;
  • enhance safe handling of the product;
  • avoid spillage.

Silox are world leaders in development and implementation of these systems.
All new units come with a unique performance guarantee – an essential part of minimising bleaching costs.
