Buckman offers paper packaging manufacturers specialty chemicals such as enzymatic fiber refining and digital technology to help improve strength and reduce basis weight of your recycled packaging.
In this competitive world of packaging papers, it’s not enough to make a stronger paper; you’ve got to have a stronger operation too. Buckman has a comprehensive line of products, digital solutions and expertise designed to optimize the strength and quality of your board while also simplifying logistics, saving energy and reducing your carbon footprint. We call this Smarter Strength.

Fiber is your biggest expense. We help you use less – without sacrificing strength.
Fiber drives your cost structure. Buckman’s integrated chemistry and digital solutions reduce fiber dependency while protecting sheet performance and runnability. The outcome: lower cost, stronger sheets and more consistent quality.
Ackumen™ ECHOWISE™ Pro + Enzymes + Chemistry = Exponential Strength
When layering Ackumen ECHOWISE Pro with targeted enzymes and chemistry, mills can unlock compounding gains no single solution can deliver. This can deliver:
- Less Variability: Remove entrained air for better process control
- Stronger Sheets with Less Fiber: Optimize bonding and formation for strength at lower basis weights.
- Faster, stable runs: Maintain strength at speed with fewer unplanned adjustments
- Targeted Dosing: Precise chemistry application where and when it matters most
Defoamer Optimization without the Strength Penalty
Foam control is critical to runnability—but conventional approaches can undermine strength. Buckman pairs chemistry selection with Ackumen ECHOWISE Pro to minimize defoamer-related strength loss while keeping machines stable and productive so you can:
- Optimize defoamer dosage with measurable impact on strength
- Reduce rework and off-spec risk
- Improve strength reliability across shifts and grades
Reduced fiber usage or reduced basis-weight through increased strength properties and calcium and starch stabilization are benefits of some of our technologies.
Some of the other solutions Buckman provides include:
- Improved sizing, retention, drainage and formation (RDF) chemistry to reduce total production cost
- Reduced steam consumption through wet end management and fabric management programs
- Production aids developed specifically for recycled packaging
- Use of enzymatic chemistry for deposit control, stickies control, strength development, drainage, and more
- Calcium carbonate and starch stabilization
- Increased water reuse through better fiber and water management
- Stabilizing the wet end to improve strength, runnability, and recycled fiber yield
- Improved machine cleanliness using the latest microbicide technology
- Many other unique programs to meet your production, quality, sustainability, and environmental needs
