There are many common chemical methods to control pitch deposition. But until now, none could simultaneously address two or more causes of deposition. This has changed with the introduction of our latest Infinity pitch control agents.
Infinity pitch control agents are patented, organic contaminant-control products for stock treatment in pulp mills and bleach plants. They combine the benefits of a detackifier, fixative and a dispersant to simultaneously address multiple deposition parameters. This greatly reduces or eliminates deposition potential.
Practical applications of the technology confirm that it controls pitch deposition more effectively than any other commercially available technology. Other benefits include:
- Improved pulp quality
- Increased productivity
- Reduced cleaning program costs
How They Work
Infinity pitch control agents are formulated from fossil-free detackification agents and polymeric fixatives. These chemistries rely on a unique design that balances hydrophobic and hydrophilic forces to detackify colloidal material. They adsorb onto the colloidal material, enhance stability and modify the contaminant surface. The dispersant mechanism keeps individual particles separate so they do not grow to a critical size that leads to deposition. The fixative effect retains the contaminants in the fiber matrix, reducing deposition and providing contaminant control.
