GoalImprove packaging mill operation with new sizing program.

<p>Customer Challenge</p> <p>North American packaging mills with a size press often use alkyl succinic anhydride (ASA) in the wet-end or on the surface.&nbsp; Both addition strategies can lead to deposits depending on system variables both in ASA make-down and papermaking conditions.&nbsp; Many of the mills add traditional surface size agents depending on the cobb target requirements for the grade.</p> <p>Recommended Solution</p> <p>Solenis has introduced, imPress SB-798, a new emulsion size developed by the research and development team to meet the ever-evolving needs of packaging mills. The ability to add one product to achieve both 2-minute and UN 30-minute cobb helps operators control the sizing requirements of the packaging machine.</p> <p>Results Achieved</p> <p>The addition of imPress SB-798 allows the elimination of surface ASA and other traditional surface sizes. It also leads to improved adhesion testing, simpler operations for customers who now operate with a cleaner running wet-end and size press.</p> <p><img style="max-width: 100%; width: auto; height: auto;" src="/link/fb2050d3db2e47949fd73cfe5254e96f.aspx" alt="" width="2390" height="1902" /></p>
