Papermaking
Roll up new productivity gains in your mill
Whether you are producing specialty papers, performance linerboard, absorbent tissue or grease-resistant food wrap, success in papermaking comes down to the fundamentals: Run faster. Deliver top quality. And be more efficient with materials, labor and energy.
Count on Ingredion to help make it happen. With a comprehensive range of reliable, specialty additives, coatings and adhesives, plus deep technical expertise and mill knowhow, we can help you optimize processes, troubleshoot issues and move your operation to new levels of productivity. Let us guide you to:
- Liquid, ready-to-use starch solutions for tissue and paper towels that save costs and bring strength, softness and bulk
- Innovative performance starches for packaging grades that boost product strength and consume less fiber for more MSF and enhanced printability
- Solutions to replace synthetics like fluorochemicals for FSP and reduce or eliminate fluorochemicals in your processing
- Papermaking starches that bring new efficiencies and enhanced productivity in your process
- Ingredion's unmatched service and support for product selection, troubleshooting and process optimization
Use starch-based oil and grease-resistant coatings in foodservice packaging to increase biodegradability and replace perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).

Board solutions
Seeking stronger, lighter cartons and containerboard? Rely on our additives, coatings and adhesives to meet your unique strength, printability and barrier needs. From wet-end solutions that reduce basis weight and improve drainage and retention, to binder and surface solutions offering performance and value, we have everything you need to address your challenges.
Specialty paper/packaging solutions
For sack kraft, grease-resistant grades, food wrap, fry scoops or microwave paper, replacing fluorochemicals with safe, naturally derived alternatives is key. The switch can pose challenges, but we can help you move to a smarter formulation with an extensive range of naturally produced products for all your surface treatment needs.
Tissue solutions
Efficient tissue production starts in the wet-end, where our ready-for-use additives improve dry strength, reduce linting and dusting, and enable use of recycled pulp sources without losing quality. Our tissue specialists can guide you to cationic & amphoteric natural polymers and high-charged cationic natural polymers to address your most challenging goals.
Paper solutions
Meet surface strength requirements. Deliver consistent surface quality. Reduce costs. For makers of printing and writing papers, our solutions can benefit everyone from the budget-conscious producer to the mill making premium grades. And we'll partner with you to develop solutions for the entire process, from wet-end to size press and coater to water-box applications.
Featured ingredients for papermaking
| Wet-end product (ingredient) family | Applications | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Traditional cationic starches for retention, drainage and strength development in clean papermaking systems like fine paper
|
Cationic corn or waxy maize starches selected to match the strength requirements and charge demand of the papermaking system
|
|
|
OPTIBOND® modified starches
|
Dry strength additive suitable for use in systems where charge balance is crucial for runnability and strength goals
|
Amphoteric, papermaking wet-end liquid starch additive for retention, drainage and dry strength development
|
|
OPTIPRO® modified starches
|
Dry strength additive designed for use in papermaking applications using a micro-particle retention system
|
As a component to systems using a micro-particle retention, OPTIPRO wet-end additives provide greater reactivity giving enhanced retention, drainage and strength
|
|
Liquid starch additives for tissue or towel applications for tensile strength development
|
Ready for use liquid starch additives designed for the development of internal strength. May be used in conjunction with wet strength resin
|
|
|
REDIPRO® natural polymers
|
Moderately charged cationic polymeric blend designed for high retention and drainage efficiency with dry strength development
|
REDIPRO is a liquid natural polymer, which when added to the wet end of a paper machine enhances drainage, increasing machine speed and production. Other benefits include improved machine performance related to wet-end additive efficiency
|
|
TOPCAT® highly cationic additives
|
Highly charged cationic additive designed greater dry strength development where challenging furnishes are used
|
High-charge cationic additive used for drainage and strength development in papermaking systems having a high cationic demand and/ or high recycled content
