3V Sigma USA has successfully served the Paper industry for over 50 years. The pulp and paper industry is a sector of the manufacturing industry that is involved in the production of paper and related products from wood pulp, recycled paper, and other raw materials. By suggesting combinations of products that work in synergy and by offering our technical expertise to optimize dosage and addition points, we have been able to support paper mills in their effort to run more efficiently and cost-effectively.

​We are a global major manufacturer of optical brighteners and fluorescence quenchers. Optical brighteners are commonly used to enhance the brightness and whiteness of paper products. Optical brighteners are synthetic chemicals that absorb invisible ultraviolet light and emit it in the visible spectrum, which enhances the perceived brightness and whiteness of the paper. These chemicals are added to paper during the manufacturing process.

Our Contribution

3V Sigma USA is one of the very few domestic manufacturers of stilbenic Optical brighteners specifically designed for the Paper industry. We offer standard as well as modified di-sulphonated, tetra-sulfonated and hexa-sulphonated Optical brighteners, all in a ready-to-use liquid form.

Several of our products are Urea free for lower Nitrogen and COD content in wastewater and are FDA approved for food contact.

From wet-end to coating, we have the right Optical brightener for every additional point and every desired brightness degree.

Nofluor is a quenching agent that suppresses brightness and enables paper mills to switch production from one brightness grade to another in the most efficient and cost-effective way.

Domestic manufacturing, a short supply chain, high-quality standards and competitive prices are the main ingredients of our value proposition to the Paper Industry.
