About Kaltec

Kaltec Scientific was established in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in October of 1969 and is now located in Novi, Michigan. For over 50 years, paper manufacturers and supplier companies have relied on the durable Hercules Hi-Shear Viscometer to characterize flow properties of paper coatings and pigment slurries. The viscometer is a well established instrument for predicting runnability and coat weight. Kaltec continues to manufacture, sell and service these high quality instruments on a world-wide 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 colours. The instrument is low cost, portable, and used by both paper mills and suppliers to identify potential retention problems during production and trials.

Kaltec is the North American representative for DT Paper Science of Finland. Kaltec provides sales and service for this company in the U.S. and Canada. DT Paper Science manufactures a Laboratory Coater, Laboratory Calender, and Capillary Rheometer.

Sales, service, and customer support for U.S. customers are handled by the Novi, Michigan location. Outside the U.S., Kaltec has appointed authorized agents in several countries. We currently have agents in the following locations: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, P. R. China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan ROC, and Thailand.
