PULPSIL® 968 S

1 of 18 products in this brand
PULPSIL® 968 S is a hydrolytically stable silicone surfactant based on a water-dispersible polyether-modified silicone fluid. It was specifically developed for use in the pulp and paper industry. PULPSIL® 968 S offers the advantage of enhancing the efficiency of paper deaerators when used at a dosage range of 1.0% to 10.0% relative to the solid material of the deaerator.

Application Details

PULPSIL® 968 S was developed for application in pulp and paper industry.
PULPSIL® 968 S:

  • Enhances the effiency of paper deaerators at a dosage of 1.0 - 10.0 % referred to solid material of deaerator.
  • Improves the drainage / deaerating in the pulp process at following dosage levels:
    • hardwood: 8 to 50 ppm referred to fibers
    • softwood: 8 to 100 ppm referred to fibers
  • Works itself as a booster for pulp-defoamers above its cloud point at a dosage of 2.0 - 20 % referred to active material of defoamer.
  • The best dispersibility PULPSIL® 968 S in water can be achieved by using high shear forces (e.g. turrax or dissolver). At low shear forces (e.g. stirrer) we recommend to start with water and then to add PULPSIL® 968 S while stirring continously. Stir the mixture for at least 1 hour. The aqueous mixture separates after a few days. We therefore recommend temporary stirring at a high shear force (3 times a day for 20 minutes at 500 rpm).
