• 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.
