Papira® by Stora Enso is a fully bio-based and biodegradable foam that is completely recyclable in any paper stream. It is a rigid yet flexible foam that provides high protection against shock and offers a plastic-free alternative to polymeric foams such polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (EPS) and polyurethane (PU). Papira is designed for optimal protection of fragile, sensitive and high-value consumer goods such as electronics as well as industrial appliances. It can be fabricated by using different foam cutting techniques and laminated to achieve different structures.

Decovery® resins are partially made from renewable materials and show a similar or even superior performance compared to conventional waterborne resins. Decovery® contains up to 49% bio-based content and achieves a carbon footprint reduction of up to 34%, thereby enabling companies to develop a more sustainable paint.

Decovery® is also a safer alternative. We are pushing the boundaries to offer increasingly healthier solutions. We successfully substituted substances such as NMP, APEO/NPEO and organotin and are continuously pushing to deliver the lowest possible amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

Furthermore, Decovery® is proven to deliver the highest quality across a range of indoor and outdoor applications in demanding specialty products. Our paint resins are durable and chemical-resistant; they provide a great finish with no yellowing effect and feel smooth to the touch. While being partially biobased, 

Decovery® performs equally to (and in some instances even better than) all fossil oil-based urethane equivalents.

Lineo™ by Stora Enso is a renewable, wood-based, non-toxic alternative to fossil-based materials. Lineo™ is made of lignin, a complex plant-derived polymer found in the cell walls of almost all dry-land plants. The refined kraft lignin is available as a stable free-flowing brown powder. Lineo™ can be used to replace oil-based phenolic materials in a range of applications, such as in resins for plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), paper lamination and insulation material.

After cellulose, lignin is the biggest renewable source of carbon anywhere. Lineo™ is ideal for companies looking for alternatives to petroleum-based products. It is a non-toxic raw material with a traceable origin and stable cost structure. It also contributes to resource efficiency since it fully utilitses wood from other production processes.

Crude tall oil (CTO) by Stora Enso is a special source of bio-based products. It is extracted from Nordic Softwood – a natural, renewable resource from our sustainably managed North European forests – during the kraft pulping process.

This valuable ingredient of the wood is a mixture of fatty acids, rosin and other neutral compounds. The crude tall oil can be further refined to different fractions like fatty acids, rosins and sterols. These intermediates can be used in a wide variety of applications and products across various industrial and consumer markets. In addition, CTO can be refined and turned into biofuels replacing fossil-based fuels. 

Pevalen™ is a true non-phthalate plasticizer with uncompromising performance. It is the perfect choice for sensitive applications, such as products in direct human contact, e.g. apparel and accessories, sports & leisure products, automotive interiors or other indoor applications such as floors or wall coverings in homes and public spaces. Perstorp has also obtained Food Contact Notification from the FDA in USA for the use of Pevalen™ as a plasticizer for use in repeated‐use food contact articles. 

Pevalen™ (chemical name pentaerythritol tetravalerate or PETV) has a unique performance not matched by any other plasticizer product with high plasticizing efficiency in combination with low migration and volatility. The unique combination of properties and its total-cost efficiency makes it a versatile and often superior plasticizer for both suspension and emulsion applications such as molded parts, films & sheets, coated fabrics - including artificial leather and other plastisol applications.
