INTRODUCTION:
Your brown linerboard can become White Top without a rebuild. Or you can lightweight at equal strength. You have greater flexibility
with virgin fiber, lower-quality recycled furnish, as well as minerals and other additives, With your own scalable MFC onsite module from
FiberLean — and the know-how of applications specialists — you have a runway for innovations and a revolutionary cost-saving tool. Best
of all, MFC, (micro-fibrillated cellulose,) is a natural, sustainable advantage with the same DNA as the fiber resources you already use.
Never has the paper and board making industry been more
in the spotlight as a sustainable path to productive manufacturing,
focusing on gaining the full potential from managed and urban
forests and reducing waste through a well-established recycling
infrastructure.
FiberLean® MFC (micro-fibrillated cellulose) products
and know-how are ideal for accelerating raw material reduction
and flexibility and opening the way for new grades. What makes
FiberLean MFC onsite, scalable modules a game-changer is
the ability to deliver ongoing savings and value-added gains for
producers—providing proven economic and ecological advances
onsite and with ease.
The portfolio of FiberLean products now includes pure MFC,
MFC composites with minerals, and recovered fiber formulations. All
FiberLean MFC offerings are easy to incorporate into your current
practices at your mill location.

linerboard can become White Top thanks to FiberLean
FloT, diversifying your portfolio into white, printable box
manufacturing markets.

Brown linerboard to first-class White Top
with FiberLean on Top (FloT)
According to Enrico de Landerset, CEO
of FiberLean Technologies, Ltd., “It’s not been
possible to make White Top without a massive
rebuild until the development of FiberLean on
Top (FloT). Customers can break into markets
with newly invented grades at lower cost,
assuring higher profitability. Highly printable
surfaces for digital printing is another benefit.”
In addition to the FloT for White Top and
FloT Jet applicators at the wet end, FiberLean
offers a wide range of surface ad barrier
options not previously possible—all aimed at
sustainability targets.
