Innovative silicone antifoams, additives, and performance modifiers  for brown stock washing and other pulping operations

Dow Corning® brand PulpAid silicone antifoam ingredients and ready-to-use process aids outperform oil-based defoamers in both sulfite and kraft pulping operations.

  • Improve washing efficiency and pulp drainage.
  • Are effective at lower use levels.
  • Lower your processing costs.

Antifoam performance modifiers enable the customization of antifoam formulations to meet specific needs.

These silicone antifoams do not have dioxin precursors, as do oil based defoamers, and are safe for use in waste water treatment plants.

Dow Corning’s extensive range of quality products for this industry meet defoaming challenges in different geographies around the world, can handle different pulp and paper manufacturing processes, and for both hard and soft wood types. Our product range extends from intermediates and raw materials to a high quality range of Pulpaid® antifoam compounds and concentrates.

Of course, product performance is only part of the equation. Dow Corning also offers a wide range of services to help customers gain full value from their purchasing decision, such as formulation guidelines and performance testing in order to optimize results at the mill.
