Dry Strength
Reach SCT/RCT/CMT and tensile targets at the desired basis weight and moisture profile.
Customer Challenge / Issue
Improving dry strength of the paper is achievable if you increase the basis weight, or the refining. But this comes at a cost of energy and production. You can use additives like starch. It’s hard for a paper maker to plan the cost of it. The quality of starch can also impact the production.
Axchem Solution
Axchem products enhance supply chain performance through optimized packaging weights and mill performance via reduced energy demands per unit and lower water requirements with higher solids programs. Axchem has a diverse portfolio, which includes the AXSTRENGTH™ product line featuring AXSTRENGTH PAM, AXSTRENGTH GPAM, AXSTRENGTH PVAm, and AXSTRENGTH Amphoterics designed to address compressive strength needs for board manufacturers.
Benefits
Strength additives are crucial for developing wet and dry strength in paper grades. They enable papermakers to manage strength characteristics, create new grades, optimize existing ones, and enhance machine efficiency.
Our AXSTRENGTH programs allows to reduce basis weight, improve machine speed and deal with poor fiber quality. The use of Axchem‘s DSRs allows to overcome starch weaknesses and optimize process conditions while maintaining retention and drainage. In addition to improve the dry strength of the product, Axchem’s additives enhance dewatering, and machine runnability.
