Entrained air and surface foam can cause any number of quality, production, and environmental problems, including poor washing, sheet breaks and defects, loss of system additives, and many more.

At Hercules, we understand the various conditions of a pulp and paper system, the causes of entrained air and surface foam, and the impact that they have on the performance, compatibility, and environmental aspects of your operation.  With this knowledge, we developed a full range of specially formulated products that minimize the detrimental effects of entrained air and surface foam.
