In the pulp and paper industry, foam is more than just a visual nuisance—it can slow down production, reduce product quality, and increase operating costs. During processes like pulping, bleaching, and paper machine operations, excessive foam interferes with the smooth flow of slurry, causes overflow, and even impacts sheet formation. This is why many mills rely on effective defoamer solutions to maintain productivity and ensure a consistent product.


The right defoamer works by quickly breaking down surface bubbles and preventing their reformation, ensuring equipment runs efficiently. In paper production, where water circuits are often closed and rich in surfactants, selecting a defoamer that is effective under varying temperatures, pH levels, and chemical loads is crucial. A high-performance solution helps mills achieve better drainage, improve fiber recovery, and reduce maintenance costs.
