Exilva Speedbooster
Increase machine speed, improve OEE and reduce production cost per m² with Exilva® cellulose fibrils.
Exilva® Speedbooster enables higher corrugator performance
Corrugators are typically not limited by machine capability, but by process constraints.
To maintain stable production across varying paper qualities, board grades (including double wall, triple wall, and heavier constructions), and operating conditions, corrugators must carefully balance speed, adhesive application, and energy input. This trade-off often forces production below maximum throughput, leading to underutilized capacity and higher overall production costs.
Exilva® SpeedBooster is a bio-based cellulose fibril technology that enhances bonding performance and improves adhesive robustness under challenging production conditions. By strengthening the bonding process, it enables a wider and more stable operating window, even at slitter and knife.
This makes it possible to run at higher speeds with consistent board quality, while reducing glue and energy. The result is higher output, improved efficiency, and more predictable production performance.
Bio-based and eco-friendly
100% bio-based and biodegradable. Derived from natural cellulose, Exilva® supports more efficient and sustainable corrugating without compromising performance.
Documented performance
Enables higher sustainable speed, improves process stability, reduces energy demand and unlocks unused production capacity.
Compliance
Meets key regulatory requirements, including food contact approvals, and is free from VOCs and hazardous substances.
Technical highlights
- Application: Drop-in, compatible with all starches and corrugating processes – with no CAPEX required and minimal disruption to operations.
- Appearance: White paste.
- Mechanism: Exilva® forms a fibrillar network that stabilises adhesive rheology and controls water distribution during application and drying. This enables efficient heat transfer and faster moisture removal, allowing higher corrugator speeds while maintaining stable bonding and process consistency.
- How it works: Exilva® enhances the strength of the starch adhesive during gelation at the slitter/score.

Commercial benefits supported by trials
HIGHER CORRUGATOR SPEED
Increase sustainable production speed by stabilising glue behaviour and reducing process limitations caused by variability.
IMPROVED OEE AND UTILISATION
Better process stability reduces stops, slowdowns and operator adjustments, improving overall equipment effectiveness.
LOWER COST PER M²
Dilute fixed costs across higher output while reducing energy and resource consumption.
UNLOCKED CAPACITY
Generate additional output without investment in new equipment, enabling growth and flexibility.
These improvements translate directly into measurable value: higher throughput without added investment, lower cost per m² and improved energy efficiency.
Ultimately, Exilva® SpeedBooster helps corrugators move from cautious operation to confident production—unlocking capacity, improving margins and reducing hidden costs.
