The new family of high-performance WSR (Wet Strength Resin) represents a major advancement in the evolution of PAE resins, thanks to a technological innovation that impacts the entire production process. The advanced approach not only improves the paper’s resistance to breakage and durability in humid conditions but also reduces the by-product content in both the paper and process waters. This innovation addresses the industry’s need for high performance and the growing demand for sustainable solutions, creating added value for manufacturers aiming to face global challenges responsibly. With the new WSR family, MARE strengthens its leadership position in the PAE resin market while contributing significantly to a greener, more technologically advanced future for the paper industry.
Functional and process solutions for industry
Innovation in the new PAE resin
The core of this innovation lies in the advanced production process of the PAE resin, designed for greater affinity with the hydroxyl groups in cellulose, improving product retention. As a result, the resin performs more effectively, leading to superior performance compared to previous technologies.
The main goal is to implement the new PAE resin wherever possible, significantly reducing compounds like mCPD, DCP, AOX and improving wastewater treatment management while lowering the carbon footprint.
Benefits of the new WSR family
The new product offers various technical and environmental benefits, making it a strategic choice for paper industry companies. Key benefits include:
- Improved performance: laboratory and industrial tests reveal the potential for reduced dosages and/or increased resistance, leading to higher product quality.
- Reduction of harmful compounds: better performance and lower consumption, while achieving the same results, will reduce levels of DCP (1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol), mCPD (3-chloropropane 1,2-diol) and AOX (adsorbable organic halides), which are problematic for the environment and paper quality.
- Improved sustainability: the new resin, with its lower consumption, significantly reduces the carbon footprint of paper production compared to traditional PAE resins. Better product retention and improved wastewater treatment lead to reduced resource use and environmental impact.
- Optimization of wastewater treatment: better retention of the PAE resin on paper should significantly reduce pollutants in wastewater treatment. This results in better treatment plant management and lower operational costs.
- Streamlined production process: industrial trials show that the new resin reduces the need for other chemicals, leading to more efficient management.
