Reliable Defoaming and Deaerating for Higher Speed, Cleaner Circuits, and Safer Operations.
AXFOAM® is a high-performance defoamer program developed for the pulp and paper industry. It controls foam formation and air entrainment across every stage of production — from stock preparation to white-water loops and final sheet drying. By stabilizing wet-end conditions, AXFOAM® improves drainage, reduces cleaning frequency, and enables higher machine speeds. Its fast-acting, long-lasting formulations are compatible with both virgin and recycled fiber systems, ensuring stable performance even under variable pH and flow conditions.
Consistent Foam Suppression, Less Disruption
- Stable foam suppression in high-turbulence circuits
- Better drainage and sheet formation quality
- Reduced downtime from foam-driven cleaning needs
Tailored Solutions for Every Mill
Axchem does not offer one-size-fits-all defoamers. Each AXFOAM® program is fine-tuned to the mill’s process chemistry, furnish type, and system dynamics. Options include:
- Water-based antifoam: enhances drainage, improves machine speed, and stabilizes circuit operation
- Concentrated antifoam: effectively controls surface foam and reduces sizing consumption
Supporting Efficiency and Sustainability
Foam control is directly linked to process reliability and environmental impact. AXFOAM® contributes to both by:
- Reducing water and fiber losses in recycled circuits
- Limiting overdosing of chemicals
- Cutting energy use and effluent load
- Helping mills meet sustainability targets while protecting productivity
Proven Across all Paper & Board Applications AXFOAM® is widely used in:
Wherever foam creates instability, AXFOAM® secures runnability, improves safety, and supports higher-speed, lower-cost papermaking.
