NexShield X102
Pitch and Stickies Control Agent
Description
NexShield X102 is a concentrated pulp and paper industry contaminants control agent. The product has a strong affinity for hydrophobic materials such as wood pitch and stickies. As a result, NexShield X102 forms a hydrophilic shell around hydrophobic pitch and stickies particles, allowing them to remain small and dispersed in solution. In addition, the glass transition temperature of the NexShield X102 is over 250°F (121°C), which means the particles do not become tacky even at high-temperature contact areas like dryer cans.
NexShield X102 quickly bonds to hydrophobic substances but has no affinity for wood fibers.
Key Properties
- Improves Production Efficiency- Prevents paper machines, pulp dryer, and converting issues caused by pitch and stickies buildup on surfaces
- Utilizes Two Modes of Action – The product stabilizes pitch and stickies particles while modifying their surface charge but also encapsulates the contaminants in a hard shell with a high glass transition temperature
- Talc Replacement – Allows for the manufacture of talc-free pulp and eliminate the risk of worker inhalation of talc dust
- Reduces Deposition on Heated Surfaces – Eliminates production issues in dryers, calendar stacks, and other heated areas.
- Pitch Removal - Effective in the pulp washing stages to remove and detackify pitch
- Safe Handling - Non-corrosive (GHS classification)
