Paper industry

Ideas for paper
Even in the digital age, paper is as important as ever. Indeed, in the long run, demand for paper of ever-improving quality is expected to continue to grow. All of us use paper daily, in the form of newspapers, books, letter, posters, packaging – and money. Without the use of optimized processes and performance-enhancing chemicals, paper production could not meet today's high demands in terms of quality, economy and ecology. We are glad to contribute to this effort, and our modern auxiliary agents have set new standards.

Unique

Our retention and de-watering agents are marketed under the PRAESTARET® brand name. They help ensure optimal use of raw materials and increase the speed of the paper machine. In addition to granulate form, these polymers are primarily used in aqueous solutions. Degussa's Stockhausen subsidiary is the first company in the world to offer oil-free and low-salt retention aids. These aqueous polymer dispersions are particularly interesting because they offer innovative practical benefits and are also better for the environment.
