Research and Development is integral to the value-added services that we provide our customers.

Close collaboration between our R&D center and our sales & marketing teams creates true synergies that result in solutions-oriented research, product performance, cost-savings, environmental sustainability, and commercially viable packaging solutions.

We have 20 years of experience in the science and technology of coatings and laminations for paper and non-woven substrates. Our research and design teams work directly with customers and package designers to overcome challenges and to develop recycleable and repulpable solutions that are better for the environment and better for our customers.

By combining our parent companies’ vast knowledge of paper development with our long-term relationships with resin suppliers, we are able to offer advanced techniques and processes, including:

  • Surface preparation for improved printing and gluing
  • Weight reduction acheived through lamination and coating processes
  • Strength optimization of paper-based structures for stacking durability and resistance to edge crush and ring crush
  • Sustainable alternatives to non-recycleable wax products
  • Structural solutions through innovative pairings of substrates with laminations or coatings

Fields of Expertise:

  • Laminating and coating
  • Barrier technology
  • Dry chemistry
  • Wet-end chemistry
  • Microscopy
  • Calibration
  • Molecular modeling
  • Process simulation and improvement
  • Polymer science
