Energy Savings
Higher solids content results in lower drying times (which represent a large part of energy consumption in coated paper and board production) and better coating performance.
Increased Stiffness
Increased stiffness allows for the use of less coating material for equal performance, and contributes to superior durability and resistance to wear.
Freight Savings
Avoiding the need to ship ~50% water means that more product can be shipped at a lower tonnage and cost.
Enhanced Recyclability
No chemical interference or "white pitch" is observed when recycling biolatex coated paper and board products.
Reducing C02 Emissions
Each pound of biolatex binder substituted for SB and SA Latex creates a reduction of 3.3 pounds of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
• A 40% substitution level industry-wide would reduce CO2 emissions by 2.5 million metric tons (equivalent to 650,000 cars off the road).
Carbon Tax Credits
Substantial carbon credit benefits are passed on to customers, as our products demonstrate a lower carbon footprint throughout their entire life cycle.
