Tissue additives take consumer experience to next level

Tissue products are more than just paper! They accompany us through our daily lives and are with us in good times and bad. Handkerchiefs are faithful companions during the cold and allergy season or in those great moments when tears of joy are shed. Napkins accompany the pleasure of an incomparable meal, and isn't it a good feeling to always have paper towels at hand for a clean kitchen? Last but not least, toilet paper is an indispensable part of our daily lives: we use about 22 billion kilometers of toilet paper per year worldwide! That's 184 million rolls, or almost 50,000 times the distance around the Earth.

How does AQUENCE XTRA work?

Active ingredients of the formulation penetrate deep into the fiber structure of the tissue. This is not a superficial effect, but changes the structure of the paper by actively working on the fibers.

We offer tailormade combinations of ingredients that influence the surface properties, internal fiber structure and moisture retention.

Enhancing the sensory experience of tissue
