The unseen hero for molded fiber packaging

Molded fiber has quickly emerged as the favored packaging choice for brands pursuing renewable and recyclable alternatives to replace single-use plastics. Within this packaging revolution, chemistry plays a pivotal, but often unseen role.

Quick inversion polymers for efficient stickies control

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.

Barrier coatings, tailored to fit your process

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.

Ensuring success with dispersion barriers, from pulping to wastewater treatment

For the paper and board manufacturers, reaching success with barrier technology requires more than just adding the right coating chemistry to the process.

Strength in solving papermakers’ challenges

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.

Beyond the surface of sustainability

The complexity of sustainability topics is what drives Mari Ojanen, Manager, Global Processes and Projects at Kemira R&D and Technology, in her work.

How barrier coated boards repulp?

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.

At the heart of efficient papermaking - Quick inversion polymers

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.

Solutions for sustainability for paper and board makers

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.

Quality from the first reel – Chemistry expertise for a successful paper machine start-up

A new paper machine start-up is a challenging and complex project. But if you choose your partners wisely, one thing you don’t have to worry about is the chemistry management.
