<B>Process Available for Deinking UV Inks</B>

Decopier Technologies, Inc., introduces a new line of deinking chemicals that target secondary fibers containing UV-cured inks. The DCT-4 is expected to be available by this May.

According to a recent survey by Business Communication Group, by year 2010, nearly 80 percent of the commercially printed material will contain some form of UV-cured prints, thus posing a threat to the quantity of high-quality recyclable secondary fibers available for pulp and paper making.

With DCT-4, pulp and paper mills have access to the wider range of low-cost, high-quality secondary fibers. The potential for significant savings to the paper mill including utilizing lower cost feedstock typically accounts for 35% of the mills' operating costs.

DCT-4 de-inks UV/EB containing prints of all qualities. The chemical formulation can be added with de-inking chemicals as a cocktail and does not react with other de-inking chemicals and has no additive effects on the process effluents.
