KemTalks is an expert-led video podcast series featuring 30-minute interviews with Kemira specialists. In this episode, we explore FennoBond™ 777E, Kemira’s new dry strength solution, and its benefits for tissue.

Join us for the latest KemTalks episode, where Riikka Tietäväinen-Arola sits down with Christian Biermann, Application Excellence Manager, to discuss how advances in dry strength chemistry are helping tissue manufacturers manage rising fiber costs without compromising quality or productivity.

In this episode:

• Understand how rising fiber and energy costs are driving the need for optimization in tissue manufacturing – and why fiber mix optimization is more critical than ever for mills aiming to stay competitive. 
• Learn how to balance the cost advantages of short fibers with the strength and bulk benefits of long fibers in tissue production. Explore the critical role dry strength plays in enabling this optimization while maintaining machine runnability, converting line efficiency, and end-use quality specifications. 
• Discover FennoBond™ 777E, an easy-to-implement pump-and-go solution that provides mills with flexibility to optimize fiber mix, refining, and basis weight, depending on their cost and quality goals.
• See real-world results: how leading tissue mills achieved multi–million euro annual savings, solved dusting challenges, and improved productivity using FennoBond™ 777E. 

Whether you’re optimizing costs or improving tissue and towel strength, this episode shows how advanced dry strength chemistry tackles these challenges. Watch now to learn proven strategies from decades of hands-on application experience.
