Kaofin^® Products

Marcal has recycled paper for over 50 years to produce high quality, innovative tissue products from recycled fibers. The firm has now developed a new product line made from the natural clay and unusable fibers that are removed during the recycling process.

This recycled co-product is called Kaofin^® Fiber clay.

A specially developed manufacturing process allows Marcal to recapture the fiber and mineral materials that wash out of the  magazines and other glossy coated waste paper processed by Marcal. Most of the fiber is used to produce high quality Marcal towel, napkin, facial and bath tissue products. The clay and some fine cellulosic fibers which are too small for reformation into paper products are captured, processed, and transformed into Kaofin® co-products.

Kaofin® granulate and fiber cake products can be used in several earth works engineering, agricultural and industrial applications including:

• soils and compost blending
• retention pond liner
• alternative daily landfill cover
• chemical solidification
• mine reclamation ingredient 
• cement additive
• animal bedding manufacturing

Marcal does NOT believe in waste!
