Evonik’s process aids, performance additives, wetting agents and defoamer boosters are used to improve water recycling and optimize the efficient use of chemicals and foam control in pulp, paper and tissue production processes.
VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates for Advanced Sizing Agents
Sizing agents are essential in paper making for enhancing water resistance, controlling ink spread, and improving surface strength and printability. They form a protective layer on paper fibers, reducing liquid absorption and ensuring sharper, cleaner prints.
Evonik’s VISIOMER® monomers offer high-performance building blocks for advanced sizing formulations. Unlike traditional cationic polymers, VISIOMER® amino-functional methacrylates provide superior performance and formulation flexibility.
Products such as VISIOMER® DMAPMA and VISIOMER® MADAME improve fiber adhesion and pigment dispersion, enhancing dyeability and surface quality. VISIOMER® TMAEMC and VISIOMER® MAPTAC deliver a strong cationic charge, boosting surface adhesion and ink holdout for optimized print performance.
