Wet strength resin is a chemical additive used in the papermaking industry to improve the strength and durability of paper, especially when exposed to moisture or water. The primary objective of wet-strength resins is to prevent paper goods from breaking or weakening when wet, making them useful for various applications requiring moisture resistance. Papermakers use BeniStrength (PAE) Chemicals and Polyamide Epichlorohydrin strength resins. These resins are strategically created in various concentrations for the wet end of the paper pulp during manufacturing to achieve desired product properties. This customization guarantees that each paper fulfills its intended strength requirements.

With extensive expertise garnered over years of dedicated service in the industry, we take pride in delivering a top-notch product that meets the highest quality standards.

Practical Applications of Wet Strength Resin
- Currency Notes
- Wet-strength resin is extensively used in the manufacturing of currency notes. This unique resin can resist moisture, ensuring long-term structural integrity and durability of banknotes. This feature is handy in areas with high humidity or unintended exposure to liquids. At Relic Chemicals, we created our wet-strength resin to cater to the unique demands of this particular application.
- Tissues and Towels
- Wet-strength resin is widely utilized in the production of tissues and towels. It ensures that these paper goods remain sturdy and undamaged even when in contact with liquids, improving their performance in everyday situations.
- Packaging Papers
- Wet strength resin is used in label and packaging papers to retain the structural integrity of the packaging material, particularly when packaged objects emit moisture or during transit and storage situations that expose the packaging to humidity.
- Food Containers
- Wet-strength resin-treated paper is used in food packaging to protect against moisture. This is critical for preventing packing failure and preserving packaged food quality, particularly when condensation or liquid exposure occurs.
- Outdoor and Industrial Applications
- Wet-strength resin-treated paper is utilized in outdoor and industrial applications for items such as lawn bags. The increased strength allows these paper bags to endure exposure to rain or other environmental variables, making them a more sustainable alternative to plastic bags.
- Labels and Tags industry
- Wet Strength Additive ensures that labels and tags maintain quality even when moisture is exposed. This application guarantees that information remains legible, product labeling stays intact, and product identification is reliable, making it indispensable for labeling everything from consumer products to industrial equipment.
