Kaltec Scientific was established in Kalamazoo, Mich., in October of 1969 and is now located in Novi, Mich. For more than 50 years, paper manufacturers and supplier companies have relied on Kaltec s Hercules Hi-Shear Viscometer to characterize flow properties of paper coatings and pigment slurries. The viscometer is an established instrument for predicting runnability and coat weight. Kaltec continues to manufacture, sell and service these instruments on a worldwide basis. In addition to the Hercules Viscometer, Kaltec has acquired manufacturing rights to produce the AA-GWR Water Retention Meter. This instrument is used in conjunction with the viscometer to measure the de-watering properties of coating colors. The instrument is low cost, portable, and used by paper mills and suppliers to identify potential retention problems during production and trials. Kaltec is also the North American representative for DT Paper Science of Finland. Kaltec provides sales and service for this company in the United States and Canada.
