Styrene Maleic Anhydride copolymers, produced under the brand name XIRAN^® are for many years used in paper coatings, mostly in paper sizing applications. Polyscope with its state of the art production location, now offers next to a highly interesting technical product also the economics which are seldom offered by its main competitors.

Polyscope as such has become a rapid growing supplier to the paper chemical industry, whose expertise in paper chemicals enables a much broader development for the industry on-hand then just the surface sizing application. The surface sizing application historically developed on the SMA product platform because of the enhancing effect on the hydrophobic surface properties. SMA is today found from the wet to the dry end, where it adds value to each KG of paper produced.

Polyscope recently has developed some unique products for this market, which enables customers to deploy new products based on SMA quicker then in the past. Due to this technology development SMA is an excellent alternative to Styrene Acrylic water based coatings or the likes, from a total cost point of view!

When you are today active in this market, and interested in polymer coatings, based on SMA polymer dispersion, at least when you are interested in developing a specialty polymer coating, then Polyscope’s SMA is the product you are interested in.
