As paper and board makers continue to use more recycled fibers, they will increasingly need stickies control to ensure machine cleanliness and runnability. A new family of quick inversion polymers are shown to be highly effective at removing sticky contaminants.
A one-size-fits-all solution can be a poor fit for most. That’s why Kemira’s dispersion barrier coatings for recyclable and fluorine-free paper and board packaging are based on an open formula.
For the paper and board manufacturers, reaching success with barrier technology requires more than just adding the right coating chemistry to the process.
Even the most experienced paper machine operator cannot grasp all the interdependencies in the complicated papermaking process to reliably predict where the process is headed. Here’s where KemConnect® Harmonizer, our new digital service for papermakers comes in.
Consumers want their tissue products to be both soft and strong. For the tissue manufacturers, this requirement has always been a troublesome one because of the rule of thumb: when the softness increases, strength decreases, and vice versa.
David Paque, Senior Applications Specialist for Strength at Kemira Pulp & Paper, lights up at a challenge. He shares a recent success, where the net return on the investment made in strength chemicals was more than a million dollars a year for the customer mill.
The complexity of sustainability topics is what drives Mari Ojanen, Manager, Global Processes and Projects at Kemira R&D and Technology, in her work.
Join our webinar to learn how dispersion barrier coated boards behave in the repulping process and how the repulped material can be effectively reused in board making.
As the speed of paper machines increases and recycled fibers are more and more used, the demands for retention and drainage performance and machine cleanliness increase as well. Kemira introduces quick inversion polymer technology that helps paper and board producers to tackle the challenges of modern papermaking.
Are you looking for ways to enhance the sustainability of your production? This playbook provides paper and board manufacturers insight and support on their way toward more sustainable production, lower environmental footprint, and fully biobased products.
