Paper Chemicals.
Influence.
In a sea of magazines at the local newsstand, which one catches your eye? Chances are, you’re attracted to the glossy, vivid image of your favorite personality on the cover. Or, it just may be the rich feel of the paper that convinces you that this publication would be a joy to read. Technically speaking, you’ve been influenced by the coatings on the paper. For our customers – North American paper and paperboard mills – coatings are critical to enhancing the aesthetics and performance of papers that will be used in products such as catalogs, decorative bags and cereal boxes.
OMNOVA Solutions has served the paper and paperboard industry for over 50 years. During that time, we have earned a reputation for developing innovative binders and coating chemicals that can improve performance in the field as well as the manufacturing environment.
