Retention & Drainage
Retention & Drainage Solutions  

Competitive and economic pressures push manufacturers to produce better paper at higher efficiencies. Our broad portfolio consists of the most comprehensive range of retention, drainage and formation systems globally - from a single or dual polymer to our newest unique microparticle/micropolymer system, either silica or bentonite based.

Our unique offering helps to increase speed, efficiency and productivity.

Novel Ciba® TELIOFORM® System
The Ciba® TELIOFORM® System is a novel and patented approach combining both inorganic and organic microparticle/micropolymer technology within a single system. The synergistic effect provides both a substantial increase in performance and the unique opportunity to decouple the effects of retention, drainage and formation for unprecedented papermaking control.
