Written by Borregaard | Oct 20, 2023 10:27:09 AM

In the world of corrugated board production, it's not just about making boxes; it's about delivering quality, savings, and a bottom-line boost. But what's often standing in the way? Warp – the elusive problem that can impact everything from quality to customer satisfaction. It's time for a game-changer, and it comes in the form of Exilva, a natural and bio-based performance enhancer.

Warp in corrugated boards can result in a ripple effect of problems, including waste, customer complaints, and reduced quality. Warp causes increased down time on the converting lines, which is quite costly in productivity and waste.

Figure 1: Warp is caused by an unbalance of moisture in the 2 outer liner. Exilva PBX and adjustments of the corrugator can help on reducing warp.

These production hiccups can take a toll on your bottom line. The cause? Uneven adhesive application, moisture imbalances, and insufficient drying processes.
