Metrix™ On-site
Achieving strength and productivity at an optimized cost
Metrix On-site is an innovative manufacturing solution that produces GPAM (glyoxalated polyacrylamide) directly at the customer's location. This eliminates the need to produce and ship the product to the customer site, ensuring fresher and more reliable delivery.
GPAM is widely used as a strength additive in the papermaking process, specifically in the production of board and packaging. Due to its heat sensitivity, on-site production minimizes spoilage, significantly reduces transportation costs, and provides customers with greater flexibility in their grade structure by ensuring a consistent supply of strength additive.
Metrix On-Site equips papermakers with the flexibility needed to meet the strength demands of today's packaging industry.
