In today’s conscious consumer landscape, brands need to find ways to align their packaging solutions with their sustainability commitments. As a result, the spotlight has turned to renewable, fully recyclable, and biodegradable fiber-based packaging. In this shift, renewable chemistry can provide innovative solutions.
The textile industry is grappling with urgent challenges. We need to find more sustainable ways to produce and reuse textiles. In this transformation, renewable cellulose-based raw materials and textile recycling have a vital role. To unlock their true potential, chemistry expertise is key.
Mari Zabihian, Director, Global Digital Services at Kemira, discusses the change in the papermill working culture when algorithms and people join forces and start learning from each other.
Join our webinar to hear how the unique combination of automated machine learning, chemistry and process expertise, and data creates the needed visibility in the papermaking process. We’ll introduce KemConnect ™ Harmonizer, our digital service for papermakers, and show you how it enables the right decisions at the right time in the paper mill control room.
In the face of the energy crisis, papermakers are seeking opportunities for improving energy efficiency in their production. A good place to start looking for savings is the dryer section of the paper machine, as it consumes a lion’s share of all the energy used at a paper mill.
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.
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.
For the paper and board manufacturers, reaching success with barrier technology requires more than just adding the right coating chemistry to the process.
Even the most experienced paper machine operator cannot grasp all the interdependencies in the complicated papermaking process to reliably predict where the process is headed. Here’s where KemConnect™ Harmonizer, our new digital service for papermakers comes in.
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.
