Borresperse Paper
Borresperse® Paper is a range of sustainable, bio-based strength enhancer solutions.
They allow you to overcome two of the main challenges of recycled fluted paper production for corrugated board:
- Poor quality fibre
- Lightweighting
Borresperse Paper is compatible with your film, pond and spray sizer. It will also improve the paper machine performance and reduce energy consumption when applied as a surface sizing agent.
Borregaard's biopolymers are water-soluble and non-toxic and derived from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests. Borresperse Paper applied to starch for recycled corrugated medium production will provide the following benefits:
- Increased paper strength
- Allows for less costly lightweighting
- Contributes to less demand for expensive imported fibres
- Reduces steam/energy consumption
- Allows increased paper machine speed
- Improves machine runnability
- Imparts a natural-looking brownish appearance
- Causes no disturbance to line chemistry
- Significant improvements to sustainable packaging

Customer reference stories
Strength enhancer on film and size press
The customer’s objective was to increase the strength to keep the entire production within specifications
Lightweighting at size and film press
In these two trials the object objective of the customer was to keep strength characteristics while producing a paper as light as possible.
Increase use of lower quality fibres
The mill and borregaard had two main objectives to deliver; enhanced technical properties along with improved economic figures using lower quality fibres to a greater extent.
“Borresperse Paper really helps to enhance the optical properties of film on film press” (Germany)
“We have achieved a homogenous film on film press. Thanks to Borresperse Paper we no longer have stripes on our paper“ (Italy)
“We achieved so much steam energy savings that it covers for approximately 85% of total costs of Borresperse Paper.“ (Germany)
“Since we started using it (Borresperse Paper), we have 31% fewer paper-breaks and improved performance.“ (Germany)
