Pulp and paper additives — dispersants and deinking / wet-strength auxiliaries.
Why papermaking needs surfactants
Paper and pulp processing is water-intensive, and surfactants control everything from fibre dispersion to deinking and wet-strength chemistry. Wetting agents help chemicals reach the fibre, dispersants keep fillers and pigments suspended, and defoamers keep the process stable.
The polyether and nonionic components we supply support the wetting and dispersion needs of industrial paper systems. Because paper machines run continuously, chemical consistency matters as much as performance — which is why we confirm grade suitability against the specific process.
- Wetting agents for fibre and additive dispersion
- Defoaming components for stable white-water loops
- Water-soluble PEG grades for coating and sizing roles
Papermaking economics reward chemical consistency: a wetting or defoaming failure can stop a machine and cost more than the chemical itself. Suppliers who can document grade behaviour, support trial programs and respond quickly are preferred — which is how we work with paper chemical buyers across export markets. For recycled and virgin furnish alike, the same rules apply: stable wetting and defoaming mean fewer breaks and more salable paper.

Application examples
- Coating and sizing — PEG-4000 serves as a water-soluble additive in industrial coating and sizing formulations.
- Defoaming — random polyether BPE-1600 provides defoaming and wetting in aqueous paper-processing systems.
- Wetting and dispersion — nonionic wetting components improve the spread of additives onto fibre.
- Cleaning loops — wetting and dispersing aids keep felts and white-water systems cleaner between grades.
- Deinking and recycling — wetting components assist ink detachment and fibre recovery in recycled furnish.

Frequently asked questions
Can I request a paper chemical sample?
Yes — free 500 g to 1000 g samples are available for evaluation. The buyer covers freight, and the sample value is deducted from a future bulk order.
Do you supply complete deinking formulations?
We supply the wetting, dispersing and defoaming components; the full deinking formulation is developed by the formulator. Share your furnish and process and our team will shortlist candidates.
Which grades suit continuous paper-machine operation?
PEG-4000 and random polyether BPE-1600 are water-soluble and stable in aqueous systems. Confirm your loop chemistry and dosing point so we can advise.
