Paper Coating Chemicals.
Performance Enhancers.

RohmNova is a leading provider of insolubilizers, sizing agents and lubricants in North America with products developed and manufactured by OMNOVA Solutions.

Our Sequarez® and Sunrez® insolubilizers, or crosslinkers, may be used in both coating and size press applications to produce temporary water resistance to prevent “milking” on offset printing presses. Our crosslinkers promote controlled-fluid transfer by achieving better ink and water receptivity on the coated surface. This enhances halftone dot definition. When applied at a rate of 3% to 5% dry insolubilizer on dry starch, Sequarez insolubilizers can improve wet rub resistance, wet pick, dry pick and piling effects.

Our broad portfolio of sizing agents includes styrene acrylics, stearylated melamines and paraffin waxes.

RohmNova offers a wide variety of lubricant chemistries, including Sunkote® calcium stearates, Sunkem® polyethylenes and Sequaflow® polyglycerides. Lubricants affect the viscosity, flow, leveling and penetration of the wet coating. Our lubricant products reduce the tendency of the coating to crack when paper is folded, reduce or eliminate calender dusting and reduce coefficient of friction.
