Kemira offers chemical solutions and expertise that help board makers to assure the right product properties and manage their process chemistry efficiently.
Strength, bulk and stiffness are crucial properties for packaging materials. Consumer packages also need the right surface properties to allow first-class printing and promotional features.
Kemira has dedicated technologies for all main packaging and board grades, including cartonboard and its sub-grades, containerboard, including liner and corrugated medium (fluting), and special board such as core and gypsum board. For more information, see menu on the left.
Packaging is a prerequisite for modern society and global trade. Total world production of fiber-based packaging and board is approx. 170 million tons per year, equaling 45-50% of the global paper and board production. The main growth is forecasted in Asia and Latin America.
Changes in logistics and consumer behavior, and environmental issues set new demands on packaging materials. Kemira is actively following up the development and we strive to update our know-how and develop new solutions.
Kemira’s broad product portfolio, combined with excellent application knowhow and wide regional presence help our customers to choose the right chemicals for packaging and board making processes.
