These two attributes, softness and hydrophobicity are easy to observe when one pinches some talcum powder and then releases it onto the surface of water in a sink.

Function:

Reduce the tackiness of pitch-like materials or stickies like polyvinyl acetat, oils etc so that they have less tendency to form agglomerates or deposit onto papermaking equipment or create spots in the product

Use:

WS PM-7525 should be added as dispersion, the earlier possible, under well agitation, to the problematic stream.

Use an effective retention aid program in order to retain WS PM-7525 (and any attached tacky materials), purging the problem from the wet-end system.

Similar considerations apply to the use of WS PM-7525 in combination with organic detackifiers, like WS PM-7630. In either case, the best place to start in dealing with deposit problems and chemical analysis.

Cautions:

WS PM-7525 is potential source of dust. Consult MSDS information for each detackifier. Lock-out procedures and air quality checks are required when tanks and headboxes must be entered to inspect deposits.
