Tissues and towels

Softness, strength, and absorbency are key components consumers want in their tissue and towel products. While providing a unique mix of requirements for facial tissues, napkins, bath tissue, and paper towels, manufacturers must simultaneously increase the efficiency of their production lines. Beyond performance, tissue and towel manufacturers are also concerned with optimizing their operations while keeping an eye on sustainability. Henkel’s innovative adhesives deliver high-quality tissue products with water-based and hot melt chemistries.

Making tissue products better

Tissue manufacturers have unique formulas to achieve their various products–softness, fragrance, and absorbency are critical for consumer loyalty. In some cases, the various additives are diluted with the water used in the process. AQUENCE XTRA allowed tissue manufacturers to reduce these different additives. Its active ingredients are formulated to deeply penetrate the tissue fiber structure and enhance softness. Learn how the AQUENCE XTRA portfolio can improve the quality of tissue products.
