Exilva® Microfibrillated Cellulose: Nature’s performance additive
Exilva® is a bio-based, VOC-free (volatile organic compounds) additive naturally sourced from FSC-certified spruce fibers—engineered to induce physical and chemical interactions that provide unique properties in finished product systems. In corrugating operations, the addition of Exilva® elevates starch adhesive performance.
Exilva® is available in a variety of formats to fit your application, integrating seamlessly into starch adhesive formulations.
Sustainable impact starts at the source
Exilva® microfribrillated cellulose has been shown to enable chemical usage reduction, reduced steam consumption, and CO2 emissions reduction.
Exilva® set the foundation. CORAGUM® Xcell builds on it
