As brands and the packaging value chain transition from single-used plastics to recyclable fiber-based alternatives, molded fiber packaging must live up to expectations on both performance and sustainability. Chemistry plays a key role: with our end-to-end expertise and dedicated product portfolio for molded fiber, we find the right solution to solve your process’ specific needs and enable you to make the most out of the renewable fiber raw material.

Drawing on decades of fiber-based process expertise, we help you optimize both wet and dry molded fiber production across all fiber sources, from virgin pulp to recycled content and alternative fiber sources, such as agricultural residues. Our solutions range from PFAS-free barrier technologies and hydrophobation, which create critical oil, grease, and liquid resistance, to process chemistries including defoamers and dewatering aids that eliminate operational bottlenecks and improve production speed.

With us as your chemistry partner, you can achieve consistent quality, regulatory compliance, and cost- and resource-efficient production that meets the demanding requirements of consumer packaging applications.

Expanding shipping market drives demand for strong, material-efficient corrugated packaging production. Containerboard mills face challenges with variable fiber quality, contaminants, and process disruptions from recycled content, achieving lighter weight without compromising durability, eliminating fossil-based additives, and optimizing for both process and cost efficiency.

Our comprehensive chemical and services portfolio enables competitive containerboard manufacturing. With our end-to-end expertise, we optimize the entire wet end process to maximize production efficiency and product quality while reducing water, energy, and raw material consumption. Market-leading dry strength additives enable basis weight reduction without compromising strength, stiffness, or performance. Dedicated deposit and foam control solutions ensure clean operations and consistent machine runnability.

Our comprehensive approach covers your entire operation, both linerboard and corrugated medium production, and all the way to efficient raw and wastewater management.
