Pulp and Fiber Treatments

Optimize bleaching, de-inking and brightness in pulp processing

Processors for virgin and recycled pulp are seeking more efficient operations and high-quality end products, while meeting safety and environmental regulations. Our products can help formulators offer a range of pulp and fiber treatments to meet these demands. Our additives and modifiers, chelants, sequesters, glycol ethers, amines, polyglycols, and surfactants can help develop a variety of treatments.

Explore the benefits of Dow’s pulp and fiber treatment:

Solutions for pulping

Optimize bleaching efficiency, maximize brightness, and avoid formation of undesirable odors and flavors in food.
