Specialty Papers Europe

Optimize output quality, production, and sustainability across the fiber value chain

From pulping to surface treatment, we help you deliver consistent quality, stable production, and stronger end‑product performance.
Our solutions are designed for real mill conditions — enabling you to reduce variability, improve runnability, and use resources more efficiently across paper and board production.

• Pulping
  Improve bleaching performance and support efficient, well‑balanced plant design.
• Wet‑end chemistry
  Strengthen fiber networks, enhance retention, and improve machine efficiency.
• Board and packaging
  Increase bulk, stiffness, and thickness while enabling lightweighting.
• Surface treatment
  Enhance strength, printability, and functionality for modern packaging applications.

Expancel^® microspheres – lightweighting through controlled bulk

Expancel^® microspheres act as an advanced bulking agent within the sheet structure.
They expand under heat to create a uniform internal structure that delivers:

• Increased bulk, thickness, and stiffness at lower basis weight
• Fiber reduction without sacrificing performance
• Improved converting efficiency through consistent caliper
• Potential energy savings in drying and transport

The result: stronger, lighter board with stable production and reduced raw material demand.

Finnfix^® – enabling high‑performance barrier coatings

Finnfix^® carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) supports the shift toward fiber‑based, recyclable barrier solutions. It enables:

• Excellent film formation for oxygen and grease resistance
• Improved coating rheology and runnability
• Consistent coating quality across production speeds
• Reduced dependency on plastic‑based barrier layers

With Finnfix^®, you can deliver functional, sustainable packaging while maintaining efficient coating operations.
