Cellulose Fibers

In nature, cellulose fibers form the supporting structure of plant cells. Their excellent mechanical properties are particularly useful in finish-foils, filtration or wall-covering applications. Combined with our binder systems, they help improve important characteristics – such as bonding strength and dimensional stability.

Automotive filtration

Filters help protect the engine from various types of dirt particles. Our systems extend the operating life of filters by simultaneously improving durability and the efficiency of dirt filtration.

Finish foils

Our binders optimize productivity because they allow excellent processability and homogeneous penetration into the paper. Their strong internal bonding and their good print and lacquer characteristics are also impressive.

Wall coverings

Nonwoven wall coverings are easy to apply and can be removed without a trace.
Our binders provide dimensional stability, water resistance and internal bonding to your nonwoven wall coverings.

EU Regulations: How to make your packaging PPWReady

With the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the flexible packaging industry is undergoing major transformation, bringing both challenges and opportunities. In the shift toward fully recyclable laminated packaging, water-based adhesive solutions offer a fast track to safety and compliance - not just for today, but for the future.

Illustration comparing the life cycle of laminated packaging before and after the implementation of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). The "before" side shows a linear process ending in disposal. The "after" side depicts a circular life cycle, where laminated packaging is collected, recycled, and reused, reflecting the goals of the PPWR to reduce waste and promote sustainability.

How to protect your license to operate: Tackling PAA in laminated packaging

What most people know: The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will require plastic packaging to be recyclable and to contain recycled materials by 2030. What few realize: Your packaging’s market viability could be at serious risk if harmful substances - such as primary aromatic amines (PAA) - are formed during the recycling process.
