Fabrix Shield B11
Paper Machine Fabric Performance Enhancer
Description
Fabrix Shield B11 is a surface modifier for paperboard and unbleached paper machine fabrics and rolls. The product absorbs onto the hydrophobic surface of paper machine fabrics and rolls, which then become more hydrophilic (water loving).
By changing the nature of the fabric, Fabrix Shield B11 provides several advantages. The first advantage is deposit control. Most materials that cause deposit issues on a machine fabric are hydrophobic, including “stickies” from recycled fiber and coated broke, wood pitch, synthetic sizes, and waxes. These materials are attracted to the hydrophobic surfaces of machine fabrics.
Secondly, Fabrix Shield B11 can improve the moisture handling of a press fabric. This can have benefits including reduced crushing or press rewet, more even sheet moisture profile, and improved fabric performance throughout its life. Fabrix Shield B11 can work in conjunction or as a replacement for press fabric cleaning chemistry.
Fabrix Shield B11 can also work in conjunction with high pressure traversing cleaning shower systems and can improve the performance of those systems. Any hydrophobic deposits that accumulate on a fabric will be less tightly bound and more easily removed by the showering system.
Fabrix Shield B11 is not a cationic barrier treatment. It does not build up on fabrics, reduce drainage, or require periodic stripping with caustic.
Applications areas for Fabrix Shield B11 include forming wires, press fabrics, dryer fabrics, pulp washer or save-all screens, and synthetic roll surfaces. The product is particularly effective for mill producing paperboard, medium or unbleached tissue/towel/napkin.
