As paper mills embrace diverse, sustainable fibers like bamboo, bagasse, hemp, and agricultural residues, traditional defoamers often struggle with the unique foam they generate. 

Why Standard Defoamers Fall Short:

Alternative fibers contain higher levels of natural surfactants, starches, and resins compared to wood pulp. These stabilize foam differently, causing rapid re-foaming, process disruptions, and quality defects that generic defoamers can't consistently control, especially under modern high-speed, closed-loop conditions.

New Fiber-Focused Solution:

Our defoamers are precisely engineered for complexity:

• Tailored Chemistry: Optimized carriers & actives target foam stabilized by specific non-wood fibers.
• Enhanced Stability: Resists breakdown under high shear and extreme process conditions (pH/temp).
• Guaranteed Compatibility: Works seamlessly with other wet-end chemicals, preventing deposits.
• Performance-Driven: Rapid knockdown and persistent foam suppression.
• Sustainable Options: Available with improved biodegradability profiles.

Tangible Mill Benefits:

• Reduced downtime & maintenance from foam
• Improved paper quality (fewer holes, spots)
• Stable machine runnability

Support for reliable use of alternative fibers

Effective foam control is critical for mills innovating with fiber sources. Our targeted approach solves the specific chemistry mismatch causing persistent foam with bamboo, straw, and other non-woods.

We develop and manufacture high-performance defoamers for demanding industrial applications, including pulp & paper. Our focus is solving complex foam problems through R&D and technical partnership.
