Strength Agents
Innovative chemistries, advanced monitoring and control systems, and expert support for your wet and dry strength challenges.
We offers a broad selection of wet strength additives and dry strength additives that enhance the end-use performance of tissue and towel, graphic and specialty papers, and packaging paper and board. These additives allow papermakers to manage the required wet and dry strength characteristics of their products, as well as enable them to develop new and improved paper grades and, in many cases, improve their machine operating efficiency.
Our wet strength agent portfolio includes a variety of product configurations to meet most, we have permanent and temporary wet strength resin series products, and also provide low chlorine content wet strength agents G2 & G3 to meet your environmental index requirements.
Our portfolio of dry strength additives offers a variety of performance benefits to customers. In addition to improving the dry strength characteristics of paper and board, the use of these additives can improve retention and dewatering and reduce deposition, which can contribute to improved machine runnability and sometimes allow for increased production when running at higher speeds. Given the variety of chemistries in our portfolio, we can help customers balance strength and output, even in challenging situations such as operations using high-conductivity water.
