Activity: Reduces the frequency of machine stops for cleaning by removing stickies.
Mechanisms:
- Releases stickies from fiber surfaces.
- Disperses stickies into microscopic particles.
- Deactivates stickies by coating them with surfactants to prevent agglomeration.
Benefits:
- Increases machine productivity.
- Improves quality of finished paper.
- Reduces use of coagulants and flocculants.
- Lowers BOD and COD in process water.
- Facilitates easier application.
