Packaging Paper

With the rapid growth of online shopping and a surge in demand for eco-friendly products, the market for packaging paper, both carton and container board, is expanding each year. Packaging paper must be adaptable to meet specific needs, such as being lightweight yet strong for container boards.

At SMS, we leverage our extensive experience in modified starch application to enhance the packaging paper-making process. Our product portfolio includes solutions for wet-end, spray, surface sizing, and coating applications, helping you improve paper quality and reduce costs.

Additionally, our research center in Thailand conducts laboratory tests and application studies to identify the best products for your unique system. Trust SMS for customizable and high-quality packaging paper solutions.

ASA Emulsifier

Introducing PROMPTSIZE 25: the ready-to-use cationic liquid starch that boosts ASA emulsion performance while optimizing costs. This innovative solution minimizes ASA hydrolysis and achieves high retention on fibers, making it an excellent choice for paper mills utilizing recycled paper and amphoteric starch in the wet end.

Spraying Solutions

Experience a better, more economical way to boost multi-ply paper strength with our advanced technology. By harnessing the power of modified tapioca starch for spraying, we deliver superior ply bonding strength and cost savings for your paper products.

Introducing the EXCEL SPA Series, specialty products designed for spraying applications to enhance ply bond strength with lower dosages than native starches, leading to reductions in BOD and COD.

Our EXCEL PB, produced under GMP standards, significantly increases paper strength, especially ply bond and burst strength. Upgrade your paper-making process with our innovative solutions for superior performance and efficiency.

Wet End Solutions

Most packaging paper especially container board is made using recycled wastepaper for paper production. However, the quality of recycled fibers often falls short of virgin fiber, contributing to weaker paper products with diminished performance characteristics after multiple recycling cycles.

Our EXCELPLUS Series amphoteric starch addresses these challenges by enhancing recycled fibers with higher fine content, boosting retention, drainage, and paper strength.

For all paper grades, the EXCELCAT® Series of modified starches offers versatile performance across a range of pulp conductivity. By reducing fresh water usage, it improves internal strength, fine retention, and drainage. Optimize internal sizing consumption and use it as an effective ASA/AKD emulsifier.

Surface Sizing Solutions

Enhance your paper's surface strength and smoothness with our EXCELSIZE Series, modified tapioca starch designed with a controllable viscosity range and exceptional film-forming properties.

The EXCELSIZE C Series focuses on improving printability and reducing BOD in broke recycling processes during wet-end operations.

Coating Solutions

Achieve cost-effective coating with the eco-friendly KLIC Series. This additive replaces synthetic binders in coating formulas, resulting in significant binder cost reduction. Simply add it in dry form to the coating color for convenient use and lower energy consumption.

The EXCELCOAT® Series is the ideal co-binder for coating formulations, cutting binder costs while offering better stability than traditional coating starch. It supports higher starch solids without disrupting production and enhances the optical quality of papers.

Improve water retention and reduce the need for additives, particularly rheology modifiers, with our advanced coating solutions.
