Omyawood

Omyawood is a specifically designed ground calcium carbonate that can be utilized as wood fiber replacement.

Omya has extensive technical experience in the use of calcium carbonate to replace wood fiber and will support straightforward implementation without long periods of trialing. This reduces costs and effort for production line managers.

The option of a raw material alternative gives employees with purchasing responsibility a negotiating tool as well as an opportunity to reduce the overall costs of raw material supply and increase profitability.

Omyawood can protect wood-based panel manufacturers from forced production stops by closing the gaps caused by diminishing wood supply.

Omya is a solution-oriented partner focused on tackling problems deriving from an increasingly demanding technical, ecological and economic environment.

Cost increases or raw material shortages – as wood is more often used as a biomass source to gain “green” energy – are well known threats for the wood based panel industry.

Omya products will partially reduce the dependency on wood as a raw material. This goes hand in hand with cost saving opportunities, supporting the industry in maintaining a competitive advantage in times of uncertain market conditions.
