Alternative PFAS-free Kuraray Poval™ and Exceval™ Kuraray Poval™ transform paper into art. With outstanding adhesion with cellulose due to hydrogen bonding, film strength, barrier properties, binding strength of filler, and dispersing performance, Kuraray Poval™ are used in a variety of paper applications. For example, the specialty grade Exceval™ enhances and improves paper performance by improving water, chemical, and oil resistance. Kuraray Poval™ offer significant advantages for strength and barrier properties in the commodity and specialty paper market. Exceval™ combines the unique properties of polymer technology with expertise in barrier technology. Using Kuraray’s expertise in EVAL™, high gas barrier plastic packaging can be extended to paper structures by either laminating or melt-curtain coating Exceval™ onto the paper substrate.
Alternative Dustex - Bio-based road binder Dustex is based on lignin, nature's own binder, which binds together the wood fibers in spruces. Dustex ensures efficient and environmentally friendly bonding of gravel and dust on gravel roads, and reduces dust problems and increases traffic safety, while strengthening the road surface.
