Kymene™ Wet-strength Additives

Bringing the right products and people to your papermaking

<p>Kymene&nbsp;wet-strength additives comprise a family of products proven to significantly improve the wet strength of paper. Kymene additives have been <a href="/en/research-and-development/innovations/the-history-of-kymene/">trusted by papermakers for more than 65 years</a>. And, thanks to our ambitious R&amp;D program, they&rsquo;ve only improved with time.</p> <p>Commercial applications confirm that Kymene wet-strength additives provide a number of value-added benefits:</p> <ul> <li>Improved wet strength</li> <li>Improved retention and drainage</li> <li>Enhanced creping control</li> <li>Improved dry strength</li> <li>Reduced chemical costs</li> <li>Improved machine runnability</li> </ul> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 975px; height: 478.907px; border-spacing: 10px; border: 1px solid #000000;" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 39.994%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="208"> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Feature</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong></p> </td> <td style="width: 60.006%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="416"> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Benefit</strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 39.994%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="208"> <p>A legacy of innovation</p> </td> <td style="width: 60.006%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="416"> <p>The most complete line of wet strength resins on the market, making it possible to address a full range of customer compliance needs while balancing cost-in-use.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 39.994%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="208"> <p>Advanced chemical techniques and manufacturing processes</p> </td> <td style="width: 60.006%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="416"> <p>Introduction of high-solids, high-efficiency resins with ever-increasing levels of &nbsp; azetidinium (AZE) functionality.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 39.994%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="208"> <p>Biodehalogenation and membrane separation technologies</p> </td> <td style="width: 60.006%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="416"> <p>Stronger-performing resins with reduced levels of 1,3-DCP and 3-MCPD, as well as aminochlorohydrin and polymer-bound CPD.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 39.994%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="208"> <p>Extensive manufacturing footprint</p> </td> <td style="width: 60.006%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="416"> <p>Ability to provide wet-strength resins efficiently and cost-effectively to any mill, anywhere in the world.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 39.994%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="208"> <p>Dedicated R&amp;D organization and wet-strength resin expertise</p> </td> <td style="width: 60.006%; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 10px;" width="416"> <p>Commitment to deliver the next generation of wet-strength resins that increase solids, improve functionality, and remain far ahead of all regulatory compliance issues.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Technology Overview</h2> <p>Kymene wet-strength additives, based on polyamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) resin chemistry, help papermakers improve the web strength of grades intended primarily for the consumer market. These grades include tissue (facial, kitchen towel, wipers, napkins and tableware), packaging (liquid packaging, aseptic container, carrier board, and other forms of food packaging), and specialty (tea bag, coffee filter, labels, currency, laminating grades, etc.).</p> <p>Designed to be used at neutral-to-alkaline pH, PAE resins have a high level of wet-strength permanence, help improve machine efficiency and do not adversely affect paper absorbency as do some other chemistries.</p> <p>Solenis has developed methods, including post-synthesis technologies, to modify the basic chemistry of Kymene wet-strength resins to make them stronger-performing while reducing the by-products 1,3-dichloropropanol (1,3-DCP) and 3-monochloropropan-1,2-diol (3-MCPD), as well as aminochlorohydrin (ACH) and polymer-bound CPD (PB-CPD) for our customers&rsquo; paper and board regulatory compliance needs.</p> <h2>How They Work</h2> <p>Kymene wet-strength additives are water-soluble polymer products. The most commonly used solutions are formulated with polyamide-epichlorohydrin (PAE) resin chemistry resin chemistry and are intended primarily for paper products for the consumer market . PAE resins function in neutral/alkaline papermaking processes. They have a high level of wet-strength permanence, help improve machine efficiency and do not adversely affect paper absorbency.</p> <p>Kymene additives work during the curing process, when the functional groups on the Kymene polymer react with cellulose fiber to form a covalent bond. The polymer molecules cross-link, forming a network in the cellulose web that provides strength when the paper becomes wet. Kymene wet-strength products can also reinforce existing fiber-to-fiber bonds, which further enhance the strength of the paper.</p> <p>For even greater paper performance,&nbsp;<a href="/en/research-and-development/innovations/hercobond-dry-strength-additives/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hercobond&trade; dry strength additives</a>&nbsp;can be used with Kymene wet-strength additives. This combination can increase wet and dry tensile performance by as much as 25 percent.</p> <p>Today, Solenis offers the broadest portfolio of wet-strength resins in the world. We provide Kymene wet-strength additives in a wide range of solids content to ensure the perfect fit for your needs. Our portfolio can help you balance freight costs, shelf life and product stability concerns.</p>

wet-strength resins can be supplied in a variety of product configurations to accommodate any mill&rsquo;s compliance and regulatory standards. The full wet-strength portfolio has been accepted by Green Seal for use in all paper grades that they register. Our G1.5 resins offer decreased volatile organic compound (VOC) levels while maintaining excellent storage stability and efficiency. For customers exporting to European markets, our latest Polymer Bound Free (PBF) resins continue to lower the levels of residual 1,3-DCP and 3-MCPD that help them comply with the very latest revisions for environmental labeling established by Nordic Ecolabel and EU Ecolabel. These resins also meet the recommendations issued by the German Federal Institute of Risk Assessment (Bundesinstitut fur Risikobewertung, or BfR) and Chinese National Standards (GB4806.8).</p> <p><img src="/globalassets/images/miscellaneous-images/chart-kymene-na-1982x1780.png" alt="" width="500" height="450" /></p> <p><strong>Supply Chain</strong></p> <p>Solenis owns and operates four manufacturing facilities for wet-strength resin production in US and one in Mexico. This puts us close to any North American customer, reducing freight distances, and as a result, freight costs. It also gives us the necessary manufacturing backup to ensure that we can serve our customers even if one facility encounters a production problem.</p> <p><strong>More Information</strong></p> <p>To learn more, contact your technical sales representative.</p>
