Pulp and Paper

Maximizing Productivity in Pulp and Paper Manufacturing

Momentive Performance Materials 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 & paper technology can deliver measurable improvements in processing efficiency. Potential benefits include superior pulp washing and drainage performance, leading to cleaner pulp production, lower evaporator costs, reduced soda losses, and decreased demand for bleaching chemicals. These advantages contribute to higher pulp quality, faster production rates, and lower operational costs, all while supporting environmentally sustainable practices.

Momentive’s pulp & paper product line includes:

  • SAG™ silicone emulsions: ready-to-use formulations
  • 100% active Silwet™ organomodified silicones: ideal for faster drainage, improved wetting, enhanced defoaming, and reliable release properties
  • Siloxane resins and silicone oil blends: compatible with mineral oils to increase the durability of mineral oil defoamers
  • Easy-to-emulsify and formulate silicone compounds: user-friendly solutions designed for versatile applications and compatibility across a wide range of formulations

Efficient Foam Control Solutions at Lower Cost in Use

Momentive’s foam control solutions are designed to meet the demands of challenging applications, delivering reliable performance even in extreme conditions.

  • Exceptional performance at very low active concentrations.
  • Rapid dispersibility in foaming media through silicone-based emulsions, siloxane resin compounds, or siloxane resin/silicone oil blends.
  • Effectiveness under extreme conditions (Temperatures up to 90 °C; pH levels up to 13).
