Folding box board (FBB) and other packaging board
Rapidly rising energy prices have put board producers in a difficult cost squeeze since processing mechanical pulp – the major ingredient – requires a great deal of electricity. With cost-efficiency in mind, Eka Chemicals provides a full range of products, such as ASA for efficient low-cost sizing and Compozil for energy savings through improved drainage.
Expancel® microspheres improve the stiffness level and bulk – two important properties in packaging board. Expancel compensates for the lower quality of waste fiber, allowing you to produce within customer specifications without running the risk of producing downgraded board.
