Archroma’s latest developments support the manufacture of high-performance general-purpose paper and food packaging solutions which are also sustainable and more environmentally considerate. They join the company’s established processing chemicals, coloration and whiteness, and surface coating additives and agents for all kinds of paper, card, and board.

We develop technologies that help improve the beauty and performance of everyday products, for a greater life experience, a “life enhanced”.

At the show:

New Cartaguard^® KHI is a totally PFOA-free, grease resistant additive for recyclable, non-plastic coated paper packaging used for eat-out-of-hand snacks, such as fast-food, pastries and confectionary. It provides a true alternative to manufacturers on the look-out for effective and safe impregnating agents for naturally absorbent papers.

Archroma will also introduce visitors to its new disulphonated optical brightening agents Leucophor^® ACK and Leucophor^® ACW. While both products are specifically designed to satisfy the most demanding environmental requirements without compromising quality or ease of use, Leucophor^® ACK brings sustainability advantages through its unique, super-highly concentrated urea-free liquid formulation.

Archroma’s award-winning stickies control innovation, Cartaspers^® PSM and Cartaspers^® SCH offer full control of pitch and sticky deposits in pulp and paper applications, protecting wires and felts, reducing downtime and minimizing the use of solvents for cleaning.
