Pulp and Paper

Maximizing Productivity in Pulp and Paper Manufacturing

Momentive provides a comprehensive range of engineered silicone emulsions, 100% active silicone compounds, siloxane resins, and modified silicone fluids designed to provide economical and environmentally-friendly processing aids.

Our pulp and paper technology can deliver measurable improvements in processing efficiency. Potential benefits include superior pulp washing and drainage performance, leading to a cleaner pulp production and  lower evaporator costs. These advantages contribute to higher pulp quality, faster production rates, and lower operational costs, all while supporting environmentally sustainable practices.

Momentive’s pulp and paper product line includes:

  • SAG™ silicone emulsions: ready-to-use formulations
  • 100% active Silwet™ organomodified silicones: ideal for faster drainage, improved wetting, and enhanced defoaming
  • Siloxane resins and silicone oil blends: compatible with mineral oils to increase the durability of mineral oil defoamers
  • Silicone compounds: enhance pulp washing by controlling foam, improving drainage, reducing energy use, minimizing fouling, and boosting efficiency, while ensuring compatibility and environmental compliance for sustainable operations.

Silwet™ DA Surfactants

Silwet™ DA surfactants can serve as effective drainage aids in pulp washing, improving water removal, black liquor separation, and overall washing efficiency.

They can reduce water retention in pulp mats, leading to faster dewatering, lower energy consumption for drying, and enhanced chemical recovery. Additionally, they contribute to minimize scaling and fouling, ensuring longer equipment life and smoother operations.

With these benefits, Silwet™ DA surfactants support a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally sustainable pulp washing processes in the pulp and paper industry.
