Consumers want the softest tissue products, but as softness increases, so does dusting in tissue production. Excessive dust slows down production, impacts quality, and creates safety risks. Kemira has changed the game in dust control by combining chemistry expertise with innovative measurement and analysis methods.
Think increasing sustainability and switching from conventional, fossil-based chemistries to renewable alternatives means compromising on quality or performance? Think again. Kemira’s biomass-balanced products for papermaking, with wet strength additives as one of the latest additions to our portfolio, check all the boxes.
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.
Wet strength resins are critical for achieving the desired quality targets in most tissue grades. Many tissue producers are looking for ways to reduce wet strength resin consumption due to cost and regulatory pressure. This whitepaper presents cost-saving and sustainable technologies for efficient wet strength tissue production.
