Defoamers – Antifoam Chemicals for Paper Manufacturing

Horizon Chemical supplies defoamers for the paper industry, formulated to control excessive foam and reduce air entrainment in stock preparation and wet-end systems. Effective foam management is essential for maintaining stable papermaking operations, as uncontrolled foam can affect drainage, sheet formation, and finished paper quality.

Key Benefits of Defoamers

• Rapid Foam Control: Suppress surface foam and help manage foam build-up during production.
• Reduced Air Entrainment: Minimise trapped air that may interfere with process efficiency and paper formation.
• Improved Drainage: Support efficient water removal from the fibre suspension.
• Consistent Sheet Formation: Help minimise foam-related defects and maintain uniform paper quality.
• Enhanced Machine Runnability: Promote stable production conditions and reduce operational disturbances associated with excessive foam.

Horizon Chemical provides specialised chemical solutions to meet the process requirements of paper manufacturers, supporting efficient wet-end operations, reliable machine performance, and consistent product quality.
