These additives are added in different dosing points. And it’s easy to form foaming during white water circulation in closed system.

Silicone defoamer, fatty alcohol defoamer, mineral oil defoamer and polyether defoamer are used on site. Fatty alcohol defoamer is widely used in applications and Like, production processes of cardboard paper, newsprint paper,paper board,corrugated paper.

Paper machine defoamer is usually added in the points with a lot foam, for instance underwire white water chest or white water tank. Defoamer will be added continuously in several dosing points to give full play of defoamer performance.It will not only achieve good performance but also save cost. For defoamer with good dispersion, it can be used by pre-dilution; For defoamer with common dispersion, it’s suggested that defoamer can be used without dilution or dilution on line near dosing points in order to ensure the amount and concentration of defoamer particles.
