AXFLOC®

AXFLOC^®

Consistent retention & drainage control for stable production

Reliable Fines Capture and Smoother Sheet Formation — Even With High Recycled Content.

AXFLOC^® is a high-performance retention and drainage aid designed to optimize fines capture, dewatering, and chemical efficiency in papermaking. Built on Axchem’s broadest range of polymer technologies, AXFLOC^® adapts to different fiber mixes, filler levels, and system conditions. By stabilizing retention performance under variable pH, hardness, orfurnish shifts, AXFLOC® ensures predictable sheet formation, higher machine speeds, and reduced downtime.

Retention Efficiency and Process Stability

AXFLOC® prevents floc breakage in white water loops, delivering uniform fines retention from start-up through full-speed production. It reduces chemical fluctuations, helping mills achieve:

Reliable Performance in Recycled Fiber Systems

High-recycled fiber content often challenges retention stability. AXFLOC^® is engineered to secure fines and fillers even under these demanding conditions. This supports mills in increasing recycled content while maintaining paper strength and product quality — a key enabler of circularity.

Operational Efficiency You Can Measure

By accelerating drainage and stabilizing retention, AXFLOC® lowers water and energy consumption while minimizing cleaning needs. In validated trials, mills using AXFLOC® reported:

Reduced downtime linked to drainage issues (up to 15% improvement)

+15%

Why AXFLOC^® Works

AXFLOC^® is not a generic polymer — it is part of a tailored retention program. Axchem specialists work directly in mills to fine-tune dosage and application points, adapting AXFLOC^® to each process condition. With global manufacturing redundancy and local service, AXFLOC^® guarantees both process reliability and supply security for mills operating under variable or high-demand environments.
