Kemira’s temporary wet strength technology is based on the development of modified glyoxyalated polyacrylamide (GPAM). Our FennoRez™ product portfolio helps improve the strength performance in various tissue grades: bath, towel, facial, and napkin tissue grades, intended both for consumers and commercial (AFH, away from home) use. GPAM technology for tissue allows sheet optimization both for sufficient wet tensile strength when the product is in use and for high rate and high percentage of decay when it is disposed.
Benefits of FennoRez temporary wet strength additives
