Metrix™ Silk™ Technology

Stronger, Softer Tissue

Nalco Water has developed a revolutionary cationic strength technology for tissue paper production. This cationic strength technology enables significant tensile gains with a reduced impact of softness compared to existing market solutions.

This holistic strength gain leads to a host of operational benefits, including reduced wet-end chemical consumption, increased flexibility in fiber selection, improved drainage and machine productivity, lowered energy and water consumption, enhanced fiber retention and the potential for new grade development.

Key Benefits

Improve Strength & Fiber Mix

  • Increased dry tensile strength to meet spec targets
  • Reduce impact on softness compared to market programs
  • Facilitate grade development with increased strength capability 
     

Operate Sustainably 

  • Lower energy used through refining efficiencies
  • Fewer greenhouse gas emissions from energy reductions
  • Less fiber used 
     

Optimize Strength & Wet End Programs

  • Replace starch programs
  • Reduce impact on softness compared to market programs
  • Healthier wet end enabled by reduced wet strength resin in water 
     

Maintain Machine Uptime

  • Improved dewatering and retention
  • Controlled charge balance
  • Minimize issues from starch usage (dusting, etc.)
